Tagline: Learning Tech — One Step at a Time
🧠 Tech Isn’t Just for Techies
Everybody’s talking “tech this, tech that” — but what if you just want something that works?
You’re not trying to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. You just want to:
- Pay bills quickly
- Know when NEPA will bring light
- Get your NIN without fighting queues
These things can now be done in minutes — if you know the right tools.
The best part? You don’t need political connections to enjoy them.
👤 I’ve used these myself. That’s why I’m asking you to try them too.
🔐 1. NIMC Mobile ID – Access Your National ID Instantly
Still looking for where to print your NIN slip? This app gives you a digital version — for free.
Why it matters:
Generate Virtual NIN for banks or employers
View your photo and NIN
Share your ID via scannable QR
How to Use:
- Download “MWS: NIMC Mobile ID” (Google Play / App Store)
- Enter your 11-digit NIN
- Verify your phone number via OTP
👤 This app saved hours of stress for friends I introduced it to. It can do the same for you.
💸 2. Opay – The Mobile Bank That Actually Works
Opay isn’t just for POS agents and bike riders. It’s a full-fledged mobile bank that works when others don’t.
What you can do:
- Send/receive money (even when banks fail)
- Buy airtime, data — often with discounts
- Pay NEPA, cable bills, scratch cards
- Use a virtual card for online shopping
To Get Started:
- Download Opay
- Register with your phone number
- Fund your wallet or link your bank
👤 I was skeptical at first — no clear address, no real office… But like we say, “trial convinced me.”
When banks fail, Opay stands “gidigba”.
🗺️ 3. Google Maps – Not Just for Big Cities
Google Maps does more than guide you through Lagos or Abuja. It can:
- Find clear roads and avoid traffic
- Locate ATMs, petrol stations, or clinics
- Download offline maps for remote areas
How to Use:
- Open the Google Maps app
- Search your area
- Tap menu > “Offline Maps”
- Download and save
👤 I almost missed a wedding in Ohozara, Abia State — Google Maps came to my rescue. It works anywhere.
🤖 4. ChatGPT – Your Free Tech Tutor, Writer & Idea Machine
ChatGPT is more than just a chatbot — it’s your AI-powered personal assistant.
What it can help you do:
- Write CVs, proposals, or blog drafts
- Translate into Pidgin, Hausa, or Igbo
- Learn new skills — Canva, HTML, budgeting
- Ask anything from “What is forex?” to “How to earn online in Nigeria?”
How to Use:
- Visit chat.openai.com or download the app
- Create a free account

👤 From blog posts to color palette suggestions, ChatGPT helps me every day. It’s your free tech tutor.
