Our Story

Hello everyone.

I’m Titi Adewusi, a mother of 2 boys(aged 8 and 10) and one of the Co-Founders of 9ijakids – a pioneering Edtech Company that develops fun games for children.

It all started with the challenges I experienced while educating my younger son, a typical digital native. I noticed that he could play games on any phone or tablet but couldn’t and wasn’t interested in learning.  When it cames to school work, he had a million procastination excuses like: I am tired, I am sleepy, I want to drink water, I am hungry, etc. Give him a phone or tablet and he transforms into a genius. Does this sound familiar?

We had this running battle  until I came across this quote, “If a child doesn’t learn the way you teach him, then teach him the way he learns”

I did some research and discovered that the best way to remember anything is to make it fun. Turn the learning into song, hands on activity, stories or games and it becomes memorable.

I still remember how many rivers there in Africa.  No, I am not a genius, I just remember the song. Same with the bible verses I know. I knew lots of streets in London even before I ever visited. No, it wasn’t what I learnt from school, I learnt it from a game called Monopoly.

At 9ijakids, our strategy is simple, we develop games that children love, to teach them core skills and values. So learning seems, feels and sounds effortless.

Our games are fun and cut across various topics in Maths, English, Science, Values like Honesty, Bullying, Courage, Courtesy, Nigerian heritage, Financial Literacy/Entrepreneurship and the Bible.

We believe education is about the total child .

You can Download 9ijakids today, buy any of our bundles to stand the chance of winning a surprise gift for your child. Thank you.
