Mark Zuckerberg Visits Co-creation Hub Nigeria (CCHUB) in Yaba. The Facebook Founder is In Nigeria at his first visit to Africa. As of March this year, Facebook had hit over 1.65 billion active users, and 7.1 million of its daily users are from Nigeria. This makes Nigeria Africas' biggest user of Facebook social media platform.
Mark visited Nollywood stakeholders, crashed a hip hop music video, and met some of Nigeria's biggest stars.
Mark Zuckerberg runs across Ikoyi Bridge with entrepreneurs in the Lagos Road Warriors running club. Best way to see a city.
Mark Zuckerberg meets with Rosemary Njoku at the Facebook Express Wi-Fi stand she runs in Lagos.Express Wi-Fi empowers entrepreneurs to build a business by providing their community with access to the internet. Facebook designed the technology, and local internet providers add the connectivity. Express Wi-Fi is part of our Internet.org initiative.
Rosemary already had a business before she also started selling Express Wi-Fi. She has 3,000 customers and makes much more money from Express Wi-Fi.
She's a great example of how local entrepreneurs spread internet access around the world.
Facebook will be launching a satellite into space to enable more entrepreneurs across Africa to sell Express Wi-Fi and more people to access reliable internet. That means more connectivity and more opportunity for entrepreneurs like Rosemary everywhere.
