Mark Zuckerberg Showcases 11 YearOld Nigerian Boy’s App Named “Spike Rush”

By Gbolahan Adeyemi


The founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg took to his official Facebook Page to showcase and promote an App by an 11 year old Nigerian boy, Tayo. According to Mark’s post, he wrote:

This is Tayo. He’s 11 and he recently
showed me a game he built called Spike
Rush.

I got my first computer when I was Tayo’s
age, and just like him I started out coding
games. I’ve always thought building
simple games was the gateway to building
more complex apps. My first games were
simpler than Tayo’s, but no matter your
level, there’s nothing like playing
something you built yourself.

Spike Rush is available in the iOS App Store.
We’re looking forward to seeing what Tayo
builds next!
