Hi Ginevra,

No scholarship was awarded to any member of the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria. This is worrisome as Nigeria will not be represented at Wikimania. I don't think this is a good idea and I wonder why American and European countries have more representative than Africa. This is demoralizing and the community is not happy about it.

Warmest regards,

Olatunde Isaac, Manager, Wikipedia Education Program Nigeria Coordinator, The Wikipedia Library, Yoruba. Secretary, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria.
