Lilimax:
Nigeria is filled with brilliant people especially from the Southern part of the country. The development of this country lies mostly in their hands. It is just that tribalism and Nepotism has beclouded the minds and reasoning of our leadership team hence one sided appointements all over...,

Buhari must hear dis. Mark must hv discovered they r dullards n parasites

Isaac Nwokocha

After obtaining a First Class degree in Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 2010, Isaac Nwokocha tried his hands out on entrepreneurship; he co-founded two startups, including real-time road traffic web app, TrafficDey.

Probably deciding he had had enough of entrepreneurship, Nwokocha proceeded to Stanford for a Master’s Degree in Management Science and Engineering. No sooner had he completed his Masters Degree than he secured a role as a Product Data Integrity, Community Operations/Project Manager at Facebook.

Michael Awotedu

Armed with an MBA in Finance (summa cum laude) from the University of Tampa John H. Sykes College of Business, Michael Awotedu works in Risk Program Management at Facebook where he helps to facilitate strategy, and execution for Risk Management on products like FB games, Oculus VR and Ads.

Prior to Facebook, Awotedu oversaw Risk Management for Walmart’s $30 billion check cashing portfolio.

PS: I happen to know Michael Awotedu personally, as he hails from my alma mater — Federal Government College, Odogbolu (I couldn’t resist the temptation to let you in on that).

Great FEDGOCOL I thee revere...Wow! Another hat in our feathers! Great compilation.

I happen to know Isaac Nwokocha - ex PWc and a true genius. We're yet to see the best of him. He is also one of the most humble geeks I have ever come across and needless to say, he comes from a poor background and went to UNN and Stanford on fully paid scholarships. He is one of the most down to earth dudes that ever walked this planet earth and I know he will make Nigeria proud of his efforts some day.

For us to maximise our potential, the southern part of Nigeria must unite , no iPoB , no oduduwa, but united southern Nigeria . If thag happens, we will explode in no time. We dont really need the Hausas , they are not contributing anything meaningful to the union. They should go their separate way and begin to live like their neighbors in Niger republic and Chad. You can never see them where brain is mentioned , only IEDs are they capable of producing . Let us go .

Amoshie:
What is this one saying? We've been managing your country since independence. We don't need to manage a company before you know what we are doing.

Managing or mismanaging? Well, the results show which of the two it is.

@Post, Kudos to these Nigerian folks doing us proud!

mr man in the east we use ibeto cement biko,if igbo man can do anything more than a northerner what made u think dangote can challenge igbo person in business angle on a netural ground? we knew his source of money,then why outside nigeria northerners dont contribute any thing to our image but in nigeria they rule igbos and yorubas the only tribes that put nigeria in world news

Too many names. You sure they're all instrumental to the company? For all I know some may work only as janitors and moderators at best.


By the way, does anybody know proper information how one can become a facebook moderator?

I believe you have eyes to see that their positions and qualifications were indicated.....that is if you read it.

I got tired halfway.

Those ones are there working and improving their lives and that of their family while some ethnic bigots are here on Nairaland sweating it out. Let's think as a people!

That's right. And that's why we must unite and join force to move Nigeria forward. Those looting are causing dangers for their posterity with nothing to show for it. These great Facebook guys are quite amazing. Enough of IPOB, Oduduwa, bla,la,bla. The loss of power grip in the last election was due to contributive negligence and greed of the southern politicians. Ethnicity also played a great role. Jonathan was brainwashed and so, he removed all the political office holders from a particular region from key positions they occupied and planted his own people there. Meanwhile, he had forgotten he could not do without that region when it comes to general elections in Nigeria. He was later running helter shelter when it was already late, sleeping there for weeks and spraying dollars. I hope other sane politicians will learn from his mistake. In as much as I believe in one Nigeria, we should all know that a united south with one voice can achieve greater things for all other regions to emulate and get liberated too. It's happening already and we can see the example from these facebook amazing young talents. I read of Dare Obasanjo, another guru at microsoft recently and I was amazed. Anybody can Google this guy for details. This is the guy who according to him, never got close to his father nor benefited anything while his dad was in government and was disowned by obj for criticising him. When he talks, microsoft shivers. He's married to bill Gates cousin. We have many others working with cisco, a guy developed the softwares most of our commercial banks are using now, which earned him the best developer of the year at microsoft recently. Let people call it brain drain but the truth is, the same brain is already draining from the west back home. Bill gates came recently on a research of Nigerian market and called us the next people the world should look out for. Now, Mark came. These were the guys who never saw any potentials in us before. They're coming back to invest here. Believe me, they are great investors, who will always put their money where their mouth is. I see a massive brain drain Back to Nigeria soon and I'm sure they'll use their experience to develop our country. I was in Geneva in May and was impressed the way those guys were eager to visit us. Some medical doctors are relocating home already cos I know of some. Likewise professionals in other fields. God bless Nigeria.

Name checkers! Over to you!!
