Hi everyone today Google didn't only decided to pay us a visit, they said they would be staying for many years and more years to come in my country Nigeria :). This is really a great news and I am really thrilled and happy as the events unfold. We had some Google Products launched today as well in Nigeria and one of which I was really happy about was the street view 😁. The CEO of Google: Sundar Pichai also was around and we all had the opportunity to see such an amazing and wonderful person. The event itself was not a Local Guide event as a general, the event consisted of many of Google Products being launched and as well how they are going to shape the digital transformation of Nigeria in the coming years. We also met with an amazing and wonderful person Suren Ruhela , who got to interact with me and @Anonymous the Local Guide who added 700+ places on the Google Maps. It was a very wonderful experience meeting with Suren Ruhela, the few moments we all interacted together was a wonderful experience as I saw how wonderful and loving person he is. Suren Ruhela is the Director of Google Maps. As Local Guides, in the blood of @Anonymous he said after the event we should also have a map edit walk :). That guy is amazing. We had a meet-up together as well and went for a 20mins map edit walk 🙂 . I will share with you wonderful moments and pictures from the event. Thanks to the Google Team for Making this a reality, we have longed awaited for this and now I can tell you it's a reality. We are live now. #GoogleforNigeria 💪
