How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?

I was able to meet with other wikimedians in Nigeria at the Wikimania SDGs in Kwara 2022. We shared ideas and connected. I listened to other wikimedians as they shared their experiences and I learnt a lot from them. There were also some competitions and quizzes. It was a beautiful experience and I had great fun.
