🏆🇳🇬 Champions of the 2026 ECOWAS Regional Hackathon!
After 48 hours of relentless cyber warfare across Jeopardy, Boot2Root, Battlefield, Attack & Defence, and Source Code Review challenges
Team Error (Nigeria) emerged as 1st Place winners, securing the $10,000 Grand Prize.
This prestigious competition brought together elite cybersecurity teams from 12 West African countries, each representing their nation and showcasing the very best talent the region has to offer. Competing against such exceptional teams made this victory even more meaningful.
The trophy is the visible reward, but the real story lies behind the scenes months of preparation, countless hours of practice, teamwork, resilience, and a shared determination to excel. The competition was only the final test; the real work had already been done.
To my incredible teammates, thank you for the dedication, trust, and sacrifice throughout this journey. Every challenge we solved and every point we earned was a result of our collective effort. I’m proud to have stood alongside such talented individuals.
This victory is not just for our team; it is a testament to the growing strength of cybersecurity talent in Nigeria and across Africa.
On to the next challenge. 🚀🔥

Following my recent post, I received many DMs with similar questions. While I’d love to respond to each one, it’s been a bit overwhelming addressing the same topics repeatedly.
To make things easier, we’ve created a WhatsApp group where all questions regarding ethical hacking can be answered, and resources shared for those interested in learning more.
Feel free to join Team Error using the link below, we look forward to your questions and discussions!
