Steve Kally/Photowalk at Nok, Zangon Kataf, Kafanchan, Kagoro and Godogodo.
I am a professional photographer and a culture promoter. I joined the community to develop the Tyap Wikipedia (incubator), and this project is to take my contributions forward as it will primarily focus on taking freely licensed high quality photographs from Nok, Zangon Kataf, Kafanchan, Kagoro and Godogodo. These five Southern Kaduna towns posses (and I will take photographs of these) landmarks of historic importance, artefacts of cultural significance, I will also take photographs of humans in their cultural attires and daily appearances, all these to document on Wikimedia Commons to enable easy accessibility for Wikimedia users working on topics related to those areas. These five towns of Kaduna state hold historic landmarks in the history of Nigeria and which most do not have pictures on Wikipedia yet.

- Yes, all of the participants will be professional photographers, three of them already have high definition cameras, two cameras will be rented to add.

Strong support -- I belief this photowalk would not only enrich Wikimedia Commons with images from these five Southern Kaduna towns, but would as well document pictorial images of the area in today's terms for posterity. Kambai Akau (talk) 17:41, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
Strong support The project should help project the political region known and referred to as Southern Kaduna (in Kaduna State, Nigeria) through images of historical sites and natural endowments that the world craves to have and to hold that would be captured and uploaded. It will enhance the promotion and preservation of cultural and social sites that are so dear to the people of the area for generations yet unborn. Zbobai (talk) 19:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Strong support I Strongly support this project. Because it will not only explore the hiding heritage to the world, but also preserve it diverse culture and traditions in beautiful images for the next generation and also to make work easy for researchers both home and abroad.
