Today, at just 9 years-old, Okpara, from Lagos, Nigeria, has built over 30 mobile games, according to a report by the CNN.
“You are always playing games; can’t you think about building your own games so others can play yours too?”
Those were the words of Basil Okpara Sr when he scolded his son, Basil Okpara Jr for spending too much time playing games.
Okpara Sr was angry when he uttered those words, but little did he know that his son, who was then only 7, would take his words seriously.
