de moi

[edit]

Hi, I'm Wilsn and I currently live in Abuja, Nigeria.

I'm a Wikimedian in Residence at The Honoris United Universities.

I have a main Wikipedia account (OtuNwachinemere) which I use for my editing purposes. This account is for training and project purposes.

If you ever feel like getting involved in some of our projects or training sessions then message me, by all means. I'd be glad to hear from you.

The project page for the residency is located here: W:Wikipedia:Honoris United Universities and my blog is here: http://thinking..
