Mtn is giving you the motivation to work on your own app the app still remains your own Mtn is not collecting the app from you.. Seun dd not invent forums there had always been forums.. Neither did Zuckerbeeg invent social networking... I don't see nothing wrong in Mtn gingering young people to develop apps... 4 Likes |
