In a few hours, one team would be walking away with ₦2,000,000. What began with @idrisayobello quest for Amala in Japan turned into the Amala Buildathon - a bold experiment in community, speed, and culture. Teams built a working MVP in 24 hours, and those shortlisted have spent the last two-weeks, refining that MVP into a polished solution that the winning team would open-source! As the teams prepare to be evaluated by a distinguished set of judges including @dftaiwo, @biolaa1 and @idrisayobello, @FolarinAiyegbu1 I reflect on what this means to me, personally. As an Ibadan boy, Amala isn’t just food! it’s memory, culture, and pride. It’s Skyelolo, Ola Mummy, Ori Oke Mokola and so many other spots! Sweating as I and my friends mixed the Amala with Abula garnished with “Orishirishi” to spice things up! Beyond the fun of hacking, this has evolved into much more: the seed of a discovery app for Nigerian cuisine and African food culture globally. It truly takes a village. Huge thanks to everyone who lent their support including @gdglagos, @googlecloud, @GomycodeN, @wennovation, @chowdeck , and most especially @idrisayobello who is ten toes deep when it comes to betting on African ideas! You all believed in this “crazy idea” that Africans are smart, and that there is no better time than now with the technology & tools available to launch fast, learn quickly, and evolve! The bigger win? The project would be open source and we would invite the world to fork it, remix it, and build on it. I’m bullish on Africa and when we come together to build, amazing things happen! Who walks away with the prize money? We’ll know soon enough.

At GDGLagos, we don’t just show up once a year - we stay active all year long. Like the #AmalaHackathon [https://t.co/TXrO3BT6gk] with its finals happening this weekend.
