Are there any local guides from Kaduna, Nigeria

Hi local guides. I’m just wondering if there are other fellow local guides from Kaduna, Nigeria. Would be interesting to know if people from my city applied for the connect live 2020 as well and are active on this platform. Perhaps it would interesting to have meetups I can join or host one as the case might be.

I guess this would be great way for us to shape our city better to help others.

p.s let me know please how to invite people to join the local guide program i have a few family/ friends willing to join

Hi @Nuhuu !

I want to give you a tip so you can find other LG in your city. This month a new option was launched in Connect that allows you to follow the posts of 3 different locations. If you choose your city or some nearby you can discover who are the other LG that are there, and make contact with them. Just read this post and you’ll find how to follow that locations!

Hi @LightRich

Thanks for reaching out!

Believe me I have been there and done that since the update popped, only to find a flood of my posts there and 3 others from the entire year. I reached out to them already though no response yet but I hope they do and could connect me to more of their network.

I also came across an attempted meetup about a year or two ago with a host and two others. No recap so I don’t know how’d it go :person_shrugging:t4::male_sign: a more reason why I wanted a link to invite others. I hope we build a community around it.

Thanks!

So I recommend you to look for Local Guides in your country and make contact with them. But don’t stop to organize a meetup, right now all the meetups are virtual and I think you should already schedule one. I am sure that LG from your country and many others from the world will join and you will have a great time!

Just try it!

Have a nice day @Nuhuu !!

Hi @LightRich

Thanks for reaching out

I just found out about a groupchat of local guides in my country which I joined. Although Nigeria is quite a big with different geographical zones and I was wondering whether people from my zone are here as well. But I’m glad I found others from other zones and I can’t wait to connect with them.

Hey @Nuhuu ,

Welcome to Connect!

I see that many Local Guides shared with you tips on how to find other fellow Local Guides in your area. I am going to also tag a few of them for you: @Musaemoken and @elbeedee . You can also check their previous meet-ups Accessible kaduna and Kaduna Food Tasting Meet up Recap.

You can take a look at Tips for hosting virtual meet-ups where you can find all the information that you need to submit a virtual meet-up. You can submit your meet-up through this meet-ups platform.

After each meet-up, Local Guides create a recap of the meet-up as well. For more information on how to do it you can recap these articles How do I write a great meet-up recap? and How to write a great virtual meet-up recap.

Hi @Musaemoken ,

Thanks for the reply!

That’s impressive. I kept on wondering because you didn’t tag location for you meet-up or recap. I have been looking forward to meeting local guides around and it’d be a pleasure to be part. Check your inbox.

Let’s Make Kaduna Great!!
