From Nigeria to Italy: Nigerian Boy, 16, Picked by an Italian Firm as a Senior Web Developer, Gets Celebrated

Social media users have celebrated a Nigerian boy, John Oseni, on his appointment as a senior blockchain and web developer for an Italian firm Flywallet.

According to Scholarship Region, the 16-year-old who recently concluded his secondary school education at Command Day Secondary School, Akure, had supposedly flown out of the country due to the job.

Reacting to the news by multiple media outlets, John in a LinkedIn post debunked claims that he already left the country and downplayed the hype of the job, stating that there was nothing special in getting a job in another country.
