2go was bigger than Facebook in Nigeria with over 12 million users from Nigeria while Facebook had 6.5 Million users in 2012

It was the hottest app, everyone was using it, if you were not on 2go you were not a cool kid, I got my first feature phone (java phone) around 2008, and was instantly addicted to the app

The funny part was I didn't even create a new account, I bought a used phone, when I opened the 2go app, I found the previous owners account and just started using it

Looking at the craze that surrounded the 2go app back then, it could have been the first African owned successful social network, well....it was for five years, but after that it became a child's app

Everyone says WhatsApp killed 2go, what they don't know is that WhatsApp actually launched two years after 2go launched, and 2go reigned three more years while WhatsApp watched

WhatsApp only became the goto app in Africa after Android became popular in Africa, 2go failed to evolve, they just ported their featured phone (java phone) app into an Android shell and launched

And then they failed to include media, WhatsApp allowed people to share photos, allowed people to create groups for free unlike 2go rooms which you have no control over and you still have to buy gocredit to access

It took a while, but then everyone made a switch

The thing about social networking is we need each other for a community to thrive, if all my friends are on WhatsApp I got to be on WhatsApp to connect with them, when I log into 2go and find nobody I'll leave, check them out on WhatsApp, after a while I stopped checking 2go, after a while I uninstalled the app

This is the same reason Telegram is not the default messaging app in Africa, people are used to WhatsApp, all our friends and famiily are on WhatsApp, bro you've got to give us free internet access for us to switch over, no kidding

2go refused to pivot also, WhatsApp now has status, because without that people won't access the app unless they have messages, they want to keep you engaged, they want to give you a reason to open the app even when you haven't received a message notification

If only 2go had added a user feed, or a media status like that of WhatsApp, maybe it would have been a different story

Would have made me feel good that my brothers from SA made a really popular social app

Today all of Africa's social spaces are controlled by the western world, they know everything about us, even more than our government does

Yes, Facebook knows where you are now, your government doesn't even know where you currently live, they have no recent photo of you

2go is that great fallen iroko tree

2go then was my secret amenbo place to host with anonymous people

Yeah, OP.

2go was cool.

Some Guys got their First P*ssy through that platform.

Gone are the days when 2go dey rocks

I fvcked more than 200 girls on 2go back then.

The death of 2go really pained me, I was a master almost ultimate I was hooked on 2go, I became very popular because of 2go.

All of a sudden everyone just switched.

I don't know why but I could never compare WhatsApp groups with 2go groups. WhatsApp is terrible for group chats.

I believe in Telegram sha it will soon become the new 2go.

2go died because of the love of money by the developers , while other were free theirs one has to pay to access features.

Ur heart go just skip a beat..weda ur crush don reply or ignore your texts..lol
When peeps use 2go level dey form big boys and girls..big boys and girls were at the highest level of "Master"..then there were also "Expert".."professional"...
You were still a small boy/girl if your 2go level read "Amateur" or "Novice"
My favorite "room" those days was 2go international..where you can meet foreigners
(Gee boys for love this one pass)
Had my first phone s*x with an Indian girl l met in 2go international room...she do always send me pics of her pussy..and l do send pics of my dick...chai! 2go was fun
I know that Indomie generation can't relate

And then you have to type long messages with just one hand, on a Java phone.
