New Supfrica App Could Be Africa's Next Whatsapp by Pickieox(m): 10:38am On Jan 09, 2021 |
Information sharing and global communication that characterized this modern age has seen many people, especially the youth making use of social media platforms; most of which are owned by foreign tech companies. As a continent, Africa has a lot of experts with the technical know-how to build some of these platforms but due to some reasons, many of these people hire or sell their expertise and creative ideas to foreign companies who end up owning these ideas with minimal recognition. If you take a good look at the major leading social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and so on, which are thoroughly used by Africa youth today, all of them are owned by foreign companies. However, the narrative has started changing as some Africans are beginning to venture into creating platforms owned by themselves; the news of a Sierra Leonean born young man creating a high-quality social networking application is enough prove that the tech revolution Africa is waiting for is gradually emerging. A tech company named Techfrica, owned by Mr. Hassan Hafiz Bakarr-Kanu, a sierra Leonean has released a highly rated mobile application which is classified as one that could compete with top messaging apps developed by renowned tech giants. Compared to WhatsApp again, supfrica allows you to forward messages to over 20 contacts at a go. The app equally operates at a cheaper rate as well. With Supfrica, one can make uninterrupted video and voice calls whilst using 2G, 3G, and 4G. The application which was uniquely named to depict its African ownership was released on the Google Play Store on December 11, 2020, with over 10,000 downloads. So far, the application has received very good reviews on the play store confirming its efficiency. What we have been calling for, thus, Africans creating their own platforms is finally here; The most we can do is to support and promote it. Mobile applications developed by these tech giants are what they are today because of our support base. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Edopesin:Taking someone's idea is plagerism. WhatsApp copied telegram's and snapchats idea |
Re: New Supfrica App Could Be Africa's Next Whatsapp by Edopesin: 1:58pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
primestreams: edoairways: They copied features from the other they did not completely duplicate another's platform... This is not about Africa hating on Africa, what you guys are trying to guilt trip people to download is just another whatsapp albeit a colourful one |
Re: New Supfrica App Could Be Africa's Next Whatsapp by edoairways: 2:02pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
Edopesin:Copying features is still plagerism hence it is not a new thing. Continue depending on the white for everything while China subdue your continent |

edoairways: flutterwave was designed by two Nigerians, while interswitch was designed by a graduate of Uniben, they all built their platforms from scratch and did not just change the color of an already made American platform and try to market it like this supafrica brethren is trying to do.

Edopesin:2go was built by an African yet it died naturally because Africans love foreign products |
Re: New Supfrica App Could Be Africa's Next Whatsapp by Nobody: 2:49pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
edoairways: 2go died because it refused to evolve. I won't even talk about their lame go credits. You simply can't do anything reasonable without purchasing go credits. They prioritised monetization ahead of their users. 1 Like |
Re: New Supfrica App Could Be Africa's Next Whatsapp by Edopesin: 2:52pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
edoairways: 2go died because the developers ran out of ideas and people got bored, coupled with the fact that some features couldn't be accessed with paying. You cannot say people didn't patronise 2go can you? 1 Like |

Edopesin: We should try and support our own. All the great tech companies you see started their operation by building on the existing one you saw or they're being inspired by the existing ones. I respect your opinion though but kindly see through the arguments. Thank you 1 Like |
