From The Editor-at-Large
Molweni, Afrika! (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=892f482d0a&e=84a60ba6eb) Mark Zuckerberg was in Kenya and Nigeria this past week (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4216083d09&e=84a60ba6eb) . Understandably there was a lot of buzz about the places he visited, the things he did, and the people he met. While some took this visit to be a validation of the continent's tech industry, others saw it as a quest for new markets and business by the social network, following a government ban on Free Basics in Egypt (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f5b1dafa51&e=84a60ba6eb) and an outright rejection in India (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=6831d59ab0&e=84a60ba6eb) . Facebook does have a plan to grow its presence on the continent, especially given the sheer number of people who remain offline even though 95% of the world lives within range of a 2G signal. Initiatives such as Aquila (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=00b0805547&e=84a60ba6eb) and OpenCellular (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=3bdeaad0f4&e=84a60ba6eb) may appear to be groundbreaking, but there are smaller ventures such as BRCK (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f21ac53054&e=84a60ba6eb) , which Zuckerberg himself visited while in Nairobi, which are likely to lose out to the social network's vastly deeper coffers. However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari. However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries? Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories. Like how Nigerians and Ghanaians will argue over who has the best jollof (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4ae397aefe&e=84a60ba6eb) , and how Kenyans have had monster traffic jams after recent visits by world leaders, but Mark's visit left Nairobi largely uncongested (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=2cb0a73c79&e=84a60ba6eb) .

What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival. Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal. However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary. Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari.
However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries?
Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories. Like how Nigerians and Ghanaians will argue over who has the best jollof (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4ae397aefe&e=84a60ba6eb) , and how Kenyans have had monster traffic jams after recent visits by world leaders, but Mark's visit left Nairobi largely uncongested (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=2cb0a73c79&e=84a60ba6eb) .

So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal.
What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival.
Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

A new report by the International Telecommunications Union indicates that 3.9 billion people do not yet have access to the internet, despite falling prices for ICT services and increasing mobile broadband coverage.
Seven billion people (95% of the global population) live in an area that is covered by a mobile-cellular network. However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

Ubisoft Casablanca was set up in 1998 by Ubisoft, a French multinational video game developer and publisher. This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal.
However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary.
Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Molweni, Afrika! (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=892f482d0a&e=84a60ba6eb)
Mark Zuckerberg was in Kenya and Nigeria this past week (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4216083d09&e=84a60ba6eb) . Understandably there was a lot of buzz about the places he visited, the things he did, and the people he met.
While some took this visit to be a validation of the continent's tech industry, others saw it as a quest for new markets and business by the social network, following a government ban on Free Basics in Egypt (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f5b1dafa51&e=84a60ba6eb) and an outright rejection in India (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=6831d59ab0&e=84a60ba6eb) .
Facebook does have a plan to grow its presence on the continent, especially given the sheer number of people who remain offline even though 95% of the world lives within range of a 2G signal. Initiatives such as Aquila (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=00b0805547&e=84a60ba6eb) and OpenCellular (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=3bdeaad0f4&e=84a60ba6eb) may appear to be groundbreaking, but there are smaller ventures such as BRCK (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f21ac53054&e=84a60ba6eb) , which Zuckerberg himself visited while in Nairobi, which are likely to lose out to the social network's vastly deeper coffers.
However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari.
However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries?
Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories.

** What We Can All Learn From Mark Zuckerberg's Visit To Nigeria (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u= b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=fd258d714f&e=84a60ba6eb) By Oladunni Adetula ------------------------------------------------------------
So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal.
What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival.
Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

A new report by the International Telecommunications Union indicates that 3.9 billion people do not yet have access to the internet, despite falling prices for ICT services and increasing mobile broadband coverage.
Seven billion people (95% of the global population) live in an area that is covered by a mobile-cellular network. However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

Ubisoft Casablanca was set up in 1998 by Ubisoft, a French multinational video game developer and publisher. This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal.
However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary.
Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Hello, All! Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship. And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-) I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions! Ebele Okobi Public Policy Director, Africa Facebook Inc.

The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries? Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories.

Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal. However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary. Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Yes, just to add. A lot less focus was given to the role Kenya plays in the eco-system. It being one of the most important chess pieces in the Internet Space for the Northern Corridor - from undersea cables to disruptive new initiatives being launched to target the entire region that will shape the Internet for the next 500 million. Lets not dig deep into this anyway. Obviously considering we can not underesimate Nigerias role, was there any specific reason the larger demographic did not get to interact 1:1 with Zuckerberg so that we could pick him mind a bit more? #JustAsking On Mon, Sep 5, 2016 at 6:04 PM, eshuchi.richard--- via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Connecting Kenya's under served areas with internet is a discussion that requires more views, especially with regard to 'how'.

Hello, All!
Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship.
And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-)
I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions!

Mine is just an observation: I don't know if there is a connection or it was just a sad coincidence, that Mark was in Kenya on the same day as the start of the Indo-Africa ICT Expo. :-)

Mark Zuckerberg was in Kenya and Nigeria this past week (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4216083d09&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D4216083d09-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=4pQ4cMgyzTDYSNU6-_SC4EXqPqEcbJGT4eTkO1ytU7M&e=> ) . Understandably there was a lot of buzz about the places he visited, the things he did, and the people he met.
While some took this visit to be a validation of the continent's tech industry, others saw it as a quest for new markets and business by the social network, following a government ban on Free Basics in Egypt (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f5b1dafa51&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df5b1dafa51-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=xdXSAs5_nKMr43SUWR0BkhsnM4rbH-ZKhitFS54-yYY&e=> ) and an outright rejection in India (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=6831d59ab0&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D6831d59ab0-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=ePgZElVI6gUwcUPOWvKZWXrbKPWjyjY3WSoUIZDHKB0&e=> ) .
Facebook does have a plan to grow its presence on the continent, especially given the sheer number of people who remain offline even though 95% of the world lives within range of a 2G signal. Initiatives such as Aquila (http://iafrikan.us5.list-mana ge.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=00b0805547&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D00b0805547-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=2IExicICWmgqEHRj79IgdbDtBp9yX2WbjfqB1kTmlsk&e=> ) and OpenCellular (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=3bdeaad0f4&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D3bdeaad0f4-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=TdoHUj_-WzXMZrtyP1k2ZBg_d73kZ4gsSDDnbfvZNp8&e=> ) may appear to be groundbreaking, but there are smaller ventures such as BRCK (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f21ac53054&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage1.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df21ac53054-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=c_TqG6C8EGLiFsEKIlE-y6MnUs-8S0QJLoy2naz1wl4&e=> ) , which Zuckerberg himself visited while in Nairobi, which are likely to lose out to the social network's vastly deeper coffers.
However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Db3ee2d30e6-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=K5WizDFDwmNoMNZwcNipBiDY6NctSktgX3BEhbqn1hc&e=> ) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D848785c5ff-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=IHNazGHNFQVA9J8qz6Ok6NNdpGaRwXwcN16s8FzbTkw&e=> ) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari.
However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D5e15b01ae8-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=KwnS2pyr1-bSUuCrUTg5Z2A3iDMjmALxHmy1rnXIBL4&e=> ) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries?
Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories.

So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal.
What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival.
Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

A new report by the International Telecommunications Union indicates that 3.9 billion people do not yet have access to the internet, despite falling prices for ICT services and increasing mobile broadband coverage.
Seven billion people (95% of the global population) live in an area that is covered by a mobile-cellular network. However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

Ubisoft Casablanca was set up in 1998 by Ubisoft, a French multinational video game developer and publisher. This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal.
However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary.
Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Lets not dig deep into this anyway.
Obviously considering we can not underesimate Nigerias role, was there any specific reason the larger demographic did not get to interact 1:1 with Zuckerberg so that we could pick him mind a bit more?

Connecting Kenya's under served areas with internet is a discussion that requires more views, especially with regard to 'how'.

Hello, All!
Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship.
And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-)
I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions!

Mine is just an observation: I don't know if there is a connection or it was just a sad coincidence, that Mark was in Kenya on the same day as the start of the Indo-Africa ICT Expo. :-)

Mark Zuckerberg was in Kenya and Nigeria this past week (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4216083d09&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D4216083d09-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=4pQ4cMgyzTDYSNU6-_SC4EXqPqEcbJGT4eTkO1ytU7M&e=> ) . Understandably there was a lot of buzz about the places he visited, the things he did, and the people he met.
While some took this visit to be a validation of the continent's tech industry, others saw it as a quest for new markets and business by the social network, following a government ban on Free Basics in Egypt (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f5b1dafa51&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df5b1dafa51-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=xdXSAs5_nKMr43SUWR0BkhsnM4rbH-ZKhitFS54-yYY&e=> ) and an outright rejection in India (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=6831d59ab0&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D6831d59ab0-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=ePgZElVI6gUwcUPOWvKZWXrbKPWjyjY3WSoUIZDHKB0&e=> ) .
Facebook does have a plan to grow its presence on the continent, especially given the sheer number of people who remain offline even though 95% of the world lives within range of a 2G signal. Initiatives such as Aquila (http://iafrikan.us5.list-mana ge.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=00b0805547 &e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D00b0805547-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=2IExicICWmgqEHRj79IgdbDtBp9yX2WbjfqB1kTmlsk&e=> ) and OpenCellular (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=3bdeaad0f4&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D3bdeaad0f4-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=TdoHUj_-WzXMZrtyP1k2ZBg_d73kZ4gsSDDnbfvZNp8&e=> ) may appear to be groundbreaking, but there are smaller ventures such as BRCK (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f21ac53054&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage1.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df21ac53054-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=c_TqG6C8EGLiFsEKIlE-y6MnUs-8S0QJLoy2naz1wl4&e=> ) , which Zuckerberg himself visited while in Nairobi, which are likely to lose out to the social network's vastly deeper coffers.
However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Db3ee2d30e6-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=K5WizDFDwmNoMNZwcNipBiDY6NctSktgX3BEhbqn1hc&e=> ) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D848785c5ff-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=IHNazGHNFQVA9J8qz6Ok6NNdpGaRwXwcN16s8FzbTkw&e=> ) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari.
However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D5e15b01ae8-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=KwnS2pyr1-bSUuCrUTg5Z2A3iDMjmALxHmy1rnXIBL4&e=> ) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries?
Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories. Like how Nigerians and Ghanaians will argue over who has the best jollof (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=4ae397aefe&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D4ae397aefe-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=LvdgOmJihtby2g5QYGXHTj2f_OiMIuEmGZmmR5KhrDI&e=> ) , and how Kenyans have had monster traffic jams after recent visits by world leaders, but Mark's visit left Nairobi largely uncongested (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=2cb0a73c79&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage1.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D2cb0a73c79-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=_QJB4oaZLTjgeFrbNqlIQQyyQRQ6gFBtKz6NoxpW1N4&e=> ) .

So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal.
What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival.
Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

A new report by the International Telecommunications Union indicates that 3.9 billion people do not yet have access to the internet, despite falling prices for ICT services and increasing mobile broadband coverage.
Seven billion people (95% of the global population) live in an area that is covered by a mobile-cellular network. However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

Ubisoft Casablanca was set up in 1998 by Ubisoft, a French multinational video game developer and publisher. This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal.
However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary.
Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Time was the only reason-had we time enough, I would have loved to have him do similar events in Nairobi. And what about Kigali, or Dakar, or Accra or Kinshasa? But of course, per my response earlier-that event is not the only way to engage with Facebook. Obviously, I can't compete with my oga at the top for star power, but I can absolutely ensure that views are seriously considered by the right people.

Hello, All! Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship. And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-) I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions! Ebele Okobi Public Policy Director, Africa Facebook Inc.

The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering.

By Oladunni Adetula ------------------------------------------------------------ So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal. What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival. Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

Seven billion people (95% of the global population) live in an area that is covered by a mobile-cellular network. However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal. However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary. Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Thank you Ebele for clarifying. The listers are feeling forlorn. Am however sure there is going to be a next time. We count ourselves privileged to have you in this group and we hope we will have the privilege to be involved in a somewhat larger extent beyond proposing which social enterprises are born and bred in Kenya ;-) Thank you though for taking time to respond to our queries and pass our regards.

Yes, just to add. A lot less focus was given to the role Kenya plays in the eco-system. It being one of the most important chess pieces in the Internet Space for the Northern Corridor - from undersea cables to disruptive new initiatives being launched to target the entire region that will shape the Internet for the next 500 million. Lets not dig deep into this anyway.
Obviously considering we can not underesimate Nigerias role, was there any specific reason the larger demographic did not get to interact 1:1 with Zuckerberg so that we could pick him mind a bit more?

Connecting Kenya's under served areas with internet is a discussion that requires more views, especially with regard to 'how'.

Hello, All!
Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship.
And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-)
I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions!

Mine is just an observation: I don't know if there is a connection or it was just a sad coincidence, that Mark was in Kenya on the same day as the start of the Indo-Africa ICT Expo. :-)

Understandably there was a lot of buzz about the places he visited, the things he did, and the people he met.
While some took this visit to be a validation of the continent's tech industry, others saw it as a quest for new markets and business by the social network, following a government ban on Free Basics in Egypt (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f5b1dafa51&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df5b1dafa51-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=xdXSAs5_nKMr43SUWR0BkhsnM4rbH-ZKhitFS54-yYY&e=> ) and an outright rejection in India (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=6831d59ab0&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D6831d59ab0-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=ePgZElVI6gUwcUPOWvKZWXrbKPWjyjY3WSoUIZDHKB0&e=> ) .
Facebook does have a plan to grow its presence on the continent, especially given the sheer number of people who remain offline even though 95% of the world lives within range of a 2G signal. Initiatives such as Aquila (http://iafrikan.us5.list-mana ge.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=00b0805547 &e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D00b0805547-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=2IExicICWmgqEHRj79IgdbDtBp9yX2WbjfqB1kTmlsk&e=> ) and OpenCellular (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=3bdeaad0f4&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D3bdeaad0f4-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=TdoHUj_-WzXMZrtyP1k2ZBg_d73kZ4gsSDDnbfvZNp8&e=> ) may appear to be groundbreaking, but there are smaller ventures such as BRCK (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=f21ac53054&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage1.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Df21ac53054-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=c_TqG6C8EGLiFsEKIlE-y6MnUs-8S0QJLoy2naz1wl4&e=> ) , which Zuckerberg himself visited while in Nairobi, which are likely to lose out to the social network's vastly deeper coffers.
However, there are signs that the Facebook founder is keen on growing the next generation of techies, considering the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative's investment in Andela (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=b3ee2d30e6&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3Db3ee2d30e6-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=K5WizDFDwmNoMNZwcNipBiDY6NctSktgX3BEhbqn1hc&e=> ) , and Zuckerberg's visit to Abuja (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d 9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=848785c5ff&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage2.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D848785c5ff-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=IHNazGHNFQVA9J8qz6Ok6NNdpGaRwXwcN16s8FzbTkw&e=> ) to attend the Aso Villa Demo Day with President Buhari.
However, the narratives around the initiatives that Zuckerberg visited are also worrying. BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9 fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D5e15b01ae8-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=KwnS2pyr1-bSUuCrUTg5Z2A3iDMjmALxHmy1rnXIBL4&e=> ) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering. Why bring up the connection if not to serve as an indictment on the current state of the startup and tech ecosystems in these countries?
Mark's visits did spark off a couple of niche stories.

So Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria, and of course it's a BIG deal.
What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival.
Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

However, four out of five people in developed countries actively use the internet, compared to two out of five in developing countries and less than one in five in the Least Developed Countries.

Ubisoft Casablanca was set up in 1998 by Ubisoft, a French multinational video game developer and publisher. This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal.
However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary.
Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

As my brethren would say-pele o! So sorry, o! One always hates to disappoint. It could have only been one country-but we wanted to go to Nairobi even if only during the short time we had. I was asked if it would be better not to go at all, but I thought, and still do believe, a short time in Nairobi is better than no time in Nairobi. I hope you agree? And I also hope you take the point that this group has already been (and there are quite a few on this thread who are consistently and substantively engaged on all sorts of critical topics with Facebook) and will continue to be involved in issues beyond the choice of social enterprise to select for that visit. While a visit from Mark is flashy and a press magnet, that isn't necessarily where or when the real work gets done.

Hello, All! Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship. And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-) I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions! Ebele Okobi Public Policy Director, Africa Facebook Inc.

BRCK was touted as 'an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up' (http://iafrikan.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469&id=5e15b01ae8&e=84a60ba6eb<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iafrikan.us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Db5c77b5d9fe8557cd2e26f469-26id-3D5e15b01ae8-26e-3D84a60ba6eb&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=3B06QDq_83Kf0Y-fJxnXR-ubr1DixsDMJtsb5RsYUU4&s=KwnS2pyr1-bSUuCrUTg5Z2A3iDMjmALxHmy1rnXIBL4&e=>) , and Andela, it was often pointed out, was founded by Nigerians but is incorporated in the US. The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering.

What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival. Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal. However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary. Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space. Revolutions were only witnessed on television, but that has since been "censored" by the government. So who does one trust?

Of course, I do understand. In the same way there were expressions of disappointment from many of the other 52 countries we didn't visit at all last week. ;-) I think the thing to remember is that last week wasn't the beginning and it isn't the end of FB engagement in Kenya. I and my growing group of colleagues will continue to engage with you and others in Kenya and across the continent and diaspora about connectivity and everything and anything else related to our business.

Hello, All! Mark was in Kenya and Nigeria to listen and learn. Those of us who work at Facebook who live and breathe Africa have been encouraging him to come get to know all of the incredible creativity, entrepreneurship, brilliance and hustle on our beloved continent, and he listened and came to see for himself. In addition-Facebook’s interest in partnering to drive connectivity should not be seen as a threat to any organizations who share our vision. We are a partnerships company, and we are so eager to partner with those working towards universal connectivity. And more than a few companies on the list below can personally attest to this. But this visit wasn’t about any specific initiative or partnership-it really was Mark coming to learn in Yaba and Nairobi, to hang out at AfriNolly, and to speak to and learn from people as passionate as he is about tech and all the ways tech can support connection, creativity and entrepreneurship. And, of course-he wanted to eat garri, ugali and jollof rice. But mostly jollof rice. OF COURSE. ;-) I am sure that it’s fun to speculate, but if anyone wants facts, as always, I am very happy to answer questions! Ebele Okobi Public Policy Director, Africa Facebook Inc.

The fact that these initiatives have to be qualified through references to the US is worrying enough, but the questions that they bring up do need answering.

What makes it even more notable is the fact the world's seventh-richest man came into the country quietly without making headlines or giving anyone cues before his arrival. Perhaps the biggest thing he taught us is that humility and simplicity are key components for every entrepreneur.

This was the first gaming studio in North Africa, developing such famous titles as Donald Quack Attack, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, which was co-developed with Ubisoft Montreal. However, the studio announced that it would shut down in July of this year. Yassine Arif, who worked as a developer at the studio, goes through the reasons for the closure of the only official video game studio in Morocco, and the lessons this holds for other similar ventures in Afrika.

Twitter and social media in general have played a major role in connecting and channeling these conversations in South Africa. Social media has its perks, just like any inventions but this one in my opinion is what makes it so revolutionary. Before Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform, communities suffered in silence and one was confined to their own space.
