Facebook To Base It's 2nd African Headquarters In Nigeria by Rosskiiku: 8:52pm On Apr 12, 2021
- First Main Office Opened in South Africa 2015

- 2nd Main Office will be opened in NIGERIA in 2021


Facebook is moving closer to local talent and key markets with a second African office in Nigeria

In 2016, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg visited Nigeria in what was his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa.

While the attraction to the budding tech ecosystem which was already producing some of Africa’s best known startups was obvious, there was also the underlying influence of Facebook’s pool of high-ranking Nigerian-American executives.

Four years later, that influence may be yielding more results as Facebook is set to open its second Africa office in Lagos in the second half of 2021. The office will house a cross-section of Facebook teams from sales, policy, and communications to engineering. It is the company’s latest commitment to Nigeria—Africa’s largest internet market, after it opened a hub space in partnership with Co-Creation Hub, a leading Nigerian startup accelerator, in 2018. Facebook opened its first Africa office in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2015.

I wonder if the mods will shoot this thread to FRONT PAGE the same way they quickly did the Ghana one about Twitter.

Sometimes one wonders at the nationality of people who actually run this site.

I will be SHOCKED if this makes front page, since it is positive news about NIGERIA.

Mark Zuckerberg should abort this mission
Re: Facebook To Base It's 2nd African Headquarters In Nigeria by Penguin2: 8:58pm On Apr 12, 2021
News from Buhari media urchins to counter the news of Twitter establishing its first African headquarters in Ghana instead of Nigeria that has way more internet users than Ghana. A decision we all know was informed by the flip flops of Buhari govt with its hash environment for business and inconsistent policies.

Until verified, this is a blatant lie.

Mediase!

Continue deceiving yourselves all because of One Nigeria..


Senile foollls


Just because Twitter opened their Headquarters in Ghana, suddenly buhari media crew discovered and sucked words out of the mouth of zuckerberg that he is opening his second media fictitious office in Nigeria.

Where was Nigeria when Zuckerberg was setting up it's main headquarter in Giant of Africa - South Africa...The Rainbow nation.

Soon una go carry another baseless rumor that Twitter Jack Dorsey will open his 3nd, 3rd and 4th offices in Ajegunle, maiduguri and Yewa..in Ogun state.


People playing second fiddle in africa always behaves abnormally.

That you posted this news and quickly rushed to be the first to comment and made this kind of comment, betrays you as a paid agent of govt without any iota of sensitivity to the actual reality of things in Nigeria.

All you care about is your paycheck. If Nigeria burns, it burns.

Jack, co-founder of Twitter, announced the launch of Twitter African office in Ghana. Show us Mark Zuckerberg announcing the launch of Facebook second office in Nigeria.

This country is blessed way too big than any country in Africa and all these little countries that their citizens are in this forum can never stop it. They can disguise in many ways but it will not work.

God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!

You are a sick imbec.ile with foam where your brain ought to be.

Right now in Ghana there is banditry, herdsmen crisis, infrastructure deficit, power cuts, corruption, you name it.

But they don't scream their problems from the roof tops like you imbeciles do.

They downplay their problems and always stress their good side, but if you go online and type into Google 'Ghana herdsmen' for instance, you will find NUMEROUS stories about the crisis there, since the herdsmen issue is a West African crisis caused by desertification/climate change forcing herders southwards.

But your thick skulls in Nigeria have turned it into an ethnic issue about 'Fulani' wanting to islamise the whole Nigeria.

Nation of dunderheads.

When the Igbos lost the war in 1970, did they go causing problems all over Africa? Killing and dislodging aboriginal people of the lands because they’ve been displaced and/or defeated in their land? If they did, would you have justified it like you are doing now?

Now, why do you think the Fulanis are justified to go on killing spree all over West Africa because of “desertification”?

In your myopia, you are failing to see a grand plot by this tribe to dislodge people from their lands and take over while they are supported by their brothers in powerful positions in countries like Nigeria?

Again, is the govt of Ghana treating Bandits with kid gloves the way the govt you are sucking its scrotum is treating it?

You see your problem?

So because you don't like Buhari, you don't want Nigerians to be employed or for Nigeria to grow or develop?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Is Buhari Nigeria?

When facebook comes, and employs your family member, will you care about Buhari?

I mean, you people are just so ignorant and stupid, the way you reason.

Because you don't like the president, you don't want your country to progress, because you think he will take the credit.

You are utterly disgusting, YOU and everyone who thinks like you.

You are TRAITORS, and we need to be rid of your type in Nigeria.

The same evil and dark-minded anti-Nigerian people are always ranting on NL every day about jobs, and investments..

I used to think it's only because they hate Nigeria, but it's very obvious that they hate themselves too.

Those making noise about Twitter locating its African HQ in Ghana are the same set of people that burnt down private and public building in Lagos, looted shoprite and warehouses, burnt over 400 BRT buses, and blocked major highways thereby preventing law abiding citizens from going about their legitimate businesses. They think the world didn’t notice their stupidity. They are now the ones crying over twitter’s decision.

Jack donated lots of money to sustain the protest and even created a special emoji for us. He was there when you guys needed him to destroy your country but quietly located his business operation in Ghana so that you idiots won’t be able to burn it down when next you go on rampage. That’s the price you all will have to pay for your stupidity.

When protest erupted at the Capitol, Jack took side with his country against the protesters and even suspended the president of his country. If you can’t learn from these incidences, you will perish as a fool.

By right Igbos should have been DECIMATED after the war, your cities burnt down, and your people executed or chased into exile.

That is what normally happens when you lose a war. Go and study the history of warfare if you don't know.

It was Gowon's No Victor No Vanquished policy that allowed Igbos to retain their land, their cities, and everything else after they lost the war.

Were it not for Gowon's kindness, there would be nothing like Igbo today, because you were at the complete MERCY of Nigerian troops after your starving population surrendered and Ojukwu had fled to Ivory Coast.

It was Gowon who gave the order for Nigerian troops to stop shooting, after the surrender.

He could have EASILY ordered his troops to go in for the final kill, and turn the whole east to a parking lot.

You yourself are alive today because of Gowon's kindness.

So shut up and count your blessings.


Comparing your loss in the civil war to herdsmen desperate to feed their cattle is ILLITERATE and dumb, and shows you lack basic common sense.

For the herdsmen issue, Compare like to like.

If YOU had been born into a poor illiterate family in Sokoto, and all you knew was nomadic cattle herding, and saw fertile lands drying up all around you, you would follow the other herdsmen and head south, and the chances of you getting a gun to protect your cattle and livelihood, heading southwards, will increase by a factor of 20.

In your idiocy, you are implying that the fulanis of West Africa all had a meeting somewhere, and decided to rampage through the south to ''Islamize'' West Africa, but if you had a working brain and went on Google, you would EASILY find numerous scholarly articles highlighting the desertification and climate change crisis driving them southwards in desperation for grazing land, meaning that only a collaborative approach to solving the problem can work.

But will your tribalist hate-filled head allow you to see reason?
