Widow’s mite in this context means your choicest gift and not that we focus on widows. Just like in the bible the widow gave her all and her best, We give our all and our best at WIMROF towards improving the quality of life of the underprivileged.

In 2026, the average Nigerian woman has a phone.

She also has years of being told — not always loudly, but consistently — that certain doors are not for her. That certain industries, certain careers, certain opportunities belong to someone else.

That is what systematic disadvantage looks like. Not always a locked gate. Sometimes just a story, repeated long enough, that she begins to believe.

At Breaking Barriers 2026, Patience Bawa — Fintech Professional — named it directly.

"You know, sometimes society makes it look like, you know, the average African woman sits in the seat of systematic disadvantage. It just looks like something is standing as a barrier, and I wanted to break that. I personally wanted to break that."

She did not wait for the system to change before she moved. She moved — and in moving, she became proof that the barrier, though real, is not permanent.

That is the message Breaking Barriers 2026 was built on.

The phone is in your hand. The ability has always been there. What changes today is the story you tell yourself about what you are allowed to do with both.

Across Nigeria and beyond, real work has been done to bring women into the digital space. Programmes have been built. Conversations have been had. Progress has been made.

And yet — in 2026, millions of Nigerian women still hold a phone every day and have never been shown what it can do beyond calls and WhatsApp.

At Breaking Barriers 2026, Goodness Okpara — Brand Designer and UI/UX Designer — put her finger on one of the reasons why.

"If you are here and you are thinking, I'm just a creative person, I want you to remove that word — just. Because you're not just a creative person. You're creative. And creativity is valuable in technology."

The barrier is not always access. It is not always the absence of a device.

Sometimes the barrier is a word. A single word — just — that a woman has been repeating to herself for years without anyone stopping to tell her it was never true.

Creative women are not on the edges of the technology industry because they lack ability. They are on the edges because the narrative of who belongs in tech has never fully included them.

That is the gap that remains. And that is the gap WIMROF is here to close.

It is a wrap. 🎉💛

Breaking Barriers 2026 has ended — and our hearts are so full right now.

To every woman who showed up this morning — thank you. You could have scrolled past. You could have said "next time." But you chose to show up for yourself today. And that took courage. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. 🙏🏽

To our incredible speakers —

Goodness Okpara — you showed us that creativity is a digital skill. That the eye for beauty, the love of colour and design, the instinct to make things look right — that is not a hobby. That is a career. Thank you for opening that door. 🎨

Patience Bawa — you proved that you do not need to write code to build a life in tech. You walked in through communication, through empathy, through showing up and learning — and today you showed hundreds of women that they can do the same. Thank you. 💙

Amb. Faruk Alkali — thank you for showing our audience that the digital world is a safe place for them. That understanding cybersecurity is not about fear — it is about freedom. The way you spoke to those women today was everything we hoped for. 🔐

To our brilliant moderator — Hadiza Yahaya Abubakar — you held that room with so much warmth, precision, and grace. Every question landed. Every transition was seamless. You made every speaker feel seen and every attendee feel heard. That is a gift. 🎙️

And to those who could not make it today — we have you covered. Check your inbox for the recording. 💌

This is not the end. This is the beginning. 🌟

Tomorrow is the day. 🌟

We have been counting down together. We have been sharing, tagging, forwarding, and waiting.

And tomorrow — it is finally here.

Tomorrow morning, you are going to sit with your phone, join a free online session, and hear from three Nigerian professionals who built real careers and real income from the same device you are holding right now.

A designer who turned creativity into a career.
A fintech professional who walked into tech through communication — not code.
A cybersecurity expert who has spent his life making sure women like you are safe and confident online.

All three of them — plus a brilliant journalist holding the conversation together — are showing up tomorrow for you. For free. With no conditions.

If you are registered — we are so proud of you for saying yes to yourself. Set your alarm tonight. Show up tomorrow with your full chest. 🙌🏽

If you are not registered yet, it is not too late. Right now. Two minutes. Zero naira.

Two days. Just two days. ⏳

We want to ask you something.

Think about the last time you watched someone do something on a phone or a laptop and thought — I wish I knew how to do that.

Maybe it was designing something beautiful. Maybe it was running a business from a screen. Maybe it was just understanding what all those apps are really for.

That moment — that quiet wish — is exactly why Breaking Barriers 2026 exists.

In two days, three Nigerian professionals are sitting down with you. Not to impress you with big titles. Not to talk above your head. To show you — step by step, in plain language — that the digital world has a place for you. That it has always had a place for you.

And it is completely free.

No laptop. No experience. No school fees. Just your phone and two days of patience.

Three days. Just three. 🗓️

We have been thinking about you.

The woman who saw our first post and thought — maybe this is for me. The one who forwarded it to her sister. The one who registered the same night and has been telling everyone she knows since then.

And the one who has still not registered yet.

This one is for her.

Sisi, there are three days left. And we do not want you to be the person who watched this happen from the outside when you could have been in the room.

On Saturday, something real is happening. Three Nigerian professionals who built careers from their phones and their laptops are coming to show you exactly how. Step by step. In plain language. For free.

No data about your education. No question about your background. No gate at the door.

Just come as you are. 🙏🏽

Four days from now, your life could look a little different. 💡

Not because of magic. Not because of luck.

Because on Friday, you are going to hear something — one thing, maybe just one sentence — that shifts how you see what is possible for you.

We have watched it happen.

A woman who swore she was "not a tech person" hears a designer say: "I started with Canva on my phone." And something clicks.

A girl who thought coding was only for people who went to university hears someone explain it in Yoruba and English and everything in between — and suddenly it does not feel like another world anymore.

That moment of oh, I can actually do this — that is what Breaking Barriers 2026 is built for.

And it is four days away.

Five days. And we want to tell you something honestly. 🙏🏽

When we started planning Breaking Barriers 2026, we asked ourselves one question.

What does a Nigerian woman actually need to hear to believe that digital skills are for her?

Not statistics. Not motivational quotes. Not people telling her to "believe in herself."

She needs to hear from someone who looks like her. Who started where she is. Who figured it out without a rich uncle, without a scholarship abroad, without a laptop that was given to her.

That is exactly who is speaking on Saturday.

A designer who started on a phone.
A fintech professional who got into tech through communication — not code.
A cybersecurity expert who has spent his career making sure women like you are not left behind online.

Five days. That is all that stands between you and that room.

7 days. And we cannot wait to meet you. 🙌🏽

Maybe you have been thinking about this since you first saw our post. Maybe someone forwarded it to you and something inside you said — this one is for me.

Maybe you have been telling yourself you will register "later" — and later keeps moving.

This is us telling you: later is now. 😊

In 7 days, Breaking Barriers 2026 is happening. And it is happening for the woman who has a phone in her hand right now but has never been shown what it can truly do.

No experience. No laptop. No school fees.

Just you, your phone, and one Friday morning that could change the direction of everything.

You will hear from real Nigerian women — a designer, a fintech professional, a cybersecurity expert — who started exactly where you are standing. They will not talk down to you. They will not use big grammar. They will sit with you and show you the door.

📅 Friday, 8 August 2026

If you have not registered yet, do it now. Right now. Before you put your phone down.
