DevFest Ilorin 2025 was incredible! 3 days. Hundreds of amazing people. One unforgettable moment was @shollsman showing up to support our community. That meant the world to us. Huge thanks to every speaker who shared knowledge. My team @gdgIlorin, who made it happen, and all attendees who showed up and participated in the hackathon. Massive thanks to our sponsors. It has been an incredible 3 days. Can't wait to see you next year at Devfest Ilorin 2026

Your browser is not ignoring you. It's telling you exactly where the problem is.
Today at Qorelly Intern Career Sessions, Olubukola Martins taught our interns how to stop guessing and start debugging!
Thank you, Olubukola for a hands-on session with our interns.

If you're a Nigerian developer, whether you're just starting out or you've been building for years, there's so much you can build and learn with homegrown technologies 🇳🇬❤️
We have:
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @pxxl_space instead of Vercel for hosting.
🇳🇬 @StackshiftCloud for VPS hosting and management, as an alternative to providers like Hostinger and tools like Coolify.
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @sendly_ai_ instead of Resend for business and transactional emails.
🇳🇬 @cencori instead of OpenRouter and Cloudflare AI Gateway for AI model access and management.
🇳🇬 Sabilytics.com instead of Google Analytics and DataFast for website analytics.
🇳🇬 @OutRayTunnel for tunnelling local services, as an alternative to tools like ngrok and Cloudflare Tunnel.
🇳🇬 @Bachs_hq for international payments, as an alternative to Stripe.
And these are just the ones I can remember right now!
I'm not saying you must stop using international tools.
I'm saying we have people right here building alternatives worth trying, supporting, and contributing to. With better local pricing that fits us.
I know I'm missing so many other products.
What other Nigerian-built products and their global alternatives should be on this list?
