It’s been a year of fulfillment, satisfaction and genuine passion as a local guide. I really can’t remember how it all started or how I became one but I have come to find true passion and satisfying fulfillment in it. Anytime I see a pup up from Google maps to provide help, I am compelled to do it with the best available information as possible. This is because I am sure that the information is very important to someone who may rely on it completely to make a serious decision. That has been my motivation. Helping others who are genuinely in need of a genuine information.

The power of information is what motivates me as a guide. Especially in Lagos state and most parts of Nigeria where getting directions from strangers poses threats including not getting the correct directions when you need it. Getting accurate directions and even pictures and videos of your destination makes all the difference and I’m very proud to be a local guide. Thank you.

What motivates me to Guide is:
I want whenever someones searches for a place on the Google Maps, they should be able to find an accurate location of the place, as well as have a view of how the place looks like as well as read reviews.
Because i know how much of time it will take you to arrive at that particular place when it is not available or accurate on Google Maps.
Finally, knowing fully well that what I add (map) is used across other apps and platform like Uber, it gives me the zeal to do even more.
