Hello world,
I started of as a local guide without even realizing its benefits. I go to various localities within my region and mostly will ask for directions especially if it’s my first time there. Now that I’m a local guide and understand quite a number on how to use the map, I’ve decides to add mainly typical areas of in my region.
It may come to you as a surprise that I’ve in the past and even recently visited areas with nothing to offer on the map, the people from such area have internet connection and smart phones but no knowledge or idea of maps and it’s benefits to their locality. During my visit to such a place, I always try to talk to a few that can relate about maps and its benefits to their village, they’d be excited but after my departure, they do nothing about it. Thus, I picked the interest in adding mainly such places where there’s nothing to show on maps, no guide what so ever, doing this with the hope that I will be able to raise more local guides from such area. I believe that if I can add as much of such places to the map, I’d be able to use it as an example for people in the area and area alike, hoping that they will not only hear me out but also take serious the duty of local guide to develop their localities.
In essence, I love adding small villages or town to maps because I believe that any area or region with an average presence on maps will experience development in due time. I’ve seen this effect in the town I grew up (Makurdi) and I believe it will work for other locality or small villages that are not currently on maps. I do this with pleasure and catch fun along the way because I want my region and the world at large to experience greatness and better development!
My name is Clement Ochera Ogwuche and I’m exceptionally proud being a Local Guide!
Thank you!
