morereb10: Am sorry my friend, were you seeking for likes? I simply cannot comprehend what you have up there. Don't you know it's the schools that your president went to commission that makes billionaires? Did they tell you mark came for a state visit? Was it Kenya's president that welcomed him? It's sad and pathetic that you could muster such comment above. 1 Like |

PRESS RELEASE Facebook CEO visits Nairobi to see Kenyan Innovation in Action Zuckerberg is in Kenya to see how technology innovation is changing the country LONDON, United Kingdom, September 1, 2016/ -- Facebook (www.Facebook.com) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is visiting Kenya this week on his first trip to Africa, using his time in the country to visit the iHub technology hub in Nairobi, meet with developers and partners, and explore how the country’s pioneering mobile money ecosystem is evolving. Zuckerberg is in Kenya to see how technology innovation is changing the country, learn more about what mobile entrepreneurs are doing with the latest technology, and find out how Facebook can better support small businesses, developers and content creators across growing markets. He landed in Kenya yesterday after visiting Lagos, Nigeria. He was particularly excited to see how mobile money and social media are driving commerce in the region and creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and communities. One of Zuckerberg’s first stops on the trip was iHub, an Innovation hub and hacker space started in March 2010 by TED fellow and entrepreneur, Eric Hersman. Here, he met developers and entrepreneurs: Edna Kwinga, Chief Human Resource Officer and Marie Amuti, UX designer at Twiga Foods (http://TwigaFoods.com), a mobile based-business-to-business supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eric Thimba and Porgie Gachui co-founders of Mookh (https://myMookh.com), a digital payments start-up. Wandia Gichuru, CEO, and Makena Mutwiri, Head of Marketing of Vivo Active Wear (https://web.Facebook.com/vivoactivewear/?_rdr), an online women’s clothes store does most of its business via Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. The transactions are conducted with mobile money. Zuckerberg also spent some time hanging out with developers in The Community Space and marveling over the ingenuity of BRCK, an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up that built a rugged, self-powered, mobile WiFi device which connects people and things to the internet in areas of the world with poor infrastructure. “Just landed in Nairobi! I'm here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money - where Kenya is the world leader” says Zuckerberg. “I'm starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met, Fausto and Mark, designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It's inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community”. Zuckerberg later posted “I had lunch in Nairobi with Joseph Mucheru, the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary of Information and Communications. We talked about internet access and his ambitious plans for connecting everyone in Kenya. We ate at a place everyone recommended; MAMA Oliech Restaurant (http://APO.af/zOr0sJ). One of my favorite parts of traveling to a new place is trying local food. I enjoyed ugali and a whole fried tilapia for the first time and loved them both!” Distributed by APO on behalf of Facebook.

wisepluto:Yea, my Oyibo Principal back in the day too had this ash trousers he was always wearing. That man wore ash almost every day of the week. As junior students, we assumed he had only one. Until we had the chance to visit him and even enter into every corner of the house when we became seniors. That was when our mouths were left wide open. Fr O' Connel had dozens! |

Perfectionist11: Mark's simplicity and humility is to be much admired unlike Nigerians where celebs flaunt their more modest wealth or unlike narcisistic Donald Trump who likes to blow his horn overexagerating how wealthy and successful he is.Too much pride in those fools to be caught dead in a t-shirt unlike down to earth Zuckerberg. 1 Like |

[quote author=Pavore9 post=48984508]Kenya is the undisputed King of mobile money, they have perfected the art as international money transfer operators (Moneygram, Ria, Worldremit, Sendwave, Western Union etc) use the mobile money networks to deliver transfers straight to recipient's phone number! I know Nigerian banks would make sure MTN, Airtel, Etisalat and Glo are never given the license to operate mobile money networks as it is in Kenya. I am 200% sure pepper no dey that food! [/quo You dare not try mobile money operation in Nigeria cos G guys are roaming everywhere, they will run men bankrupt |

[quote author=boninho post=48998619][/quote] If we can not run such that push around about 3 billion Kenyan shillings ($30m) daily in Kenya across mobile phone numbers comfortably as the platform is powering so many SMEs, giving those abroad the ease in sending international transfers straight to the phone numbers of their relatives in the villages without those ones having to go to a bank to collect the money then we have no business always feeling we better are than Kenyans saying they are weird and what not. i have a kenyan friend who is based in the U.S and her sick dad is based in the village. She used to send money straight to her father's phone so he could use it for his medication but rather the man spends the money on alcohol so she outsmarted him by arranging a nurse in their village to go and dress her father's wounds daily alongside giving him his drugs and once she calls in to confirm that her father has been attended to, she sends the $2 charge straight to the nurse's phone and the arrangement dey pain the old man! 1 Like |
