FACEBOOK ON NAIRALAND: The Disappointment
------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Saint

Can somebody please explain why Seun Osewa, the CEO of Nairaland was not available at the interaction section with Facebook founder in Lagos?

Why was the name "NAIRALAND" never mentioned or recognised during the whole events?

Zuckerberg staged a surprise visit to the country's economic capital Lagos on Tuesday and his first stop was a local innovation center and tech hub in Yaba,
an area on the mainland of Lagos known as Nigeria's Silicon Valley.

There was no fanfare amid tight security and some of those working at the Co-Creation Hub, called CcHUB, didn't even know Zuckberg was coming.

He appeared nervous, a little startled even, as he launched into an impromptu speech about why he was there.

While he was in Lagos, the 32 year old billionaire
visited a number of interesting places and engaged in some exciting activities. Here are a few of the places the tech billionaire went to:

The Co-Creation hub

One of Zuckerberg’s first stop was a visit to the Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) located in Yaba, the heart of Nigeria’s technology innovation ecosystem. At CcHub,
young technologists, social entrepreneurs, tech companies, hackers, and impact investors in and around Lagos co-create new solutions to the many social problems in Nigeria.

Zuckerberg met with developers like Temi Giwa who runs Life Bank, a platform that makes blood available
when and where it is needed in Nigeria to save lives.

The Landmark centre

Zuckerberg continued his short tour of Lagos with an appearance at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island where he spoke about his desire to work with local internet providers to increase internet access to
Nigerians. He added that his social media platform was working on services to include more Nigerian languages. He also attended a brief Q and A session where he spoke highly of the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive.

Andela

Facebook CEO made a stop at Andela, a Nigerian start up that recruits talented Africans and shape them into world-class developers through a four-year technical leadership programme. Impressed by the
companies’ drive to connect the global technology ecosystem with the most talented developers in Africa, Zuckerberg invested $24 million in the start up earlier this year through the Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan’s fund.

“His visit reinforces not only his support for Andela’s mission, but his belief that indeed the next generation of great technology leaders will come out of Lagos, Nigeria, and cities across Africa,” said Seni Sulyman,
director of Andela Lagos.

Afrinolly creative hub

Zuckerberg met with some of Nollywood’s biggest stars, and described the Nigerian film industry as a national treasure. “From everything I have heard, it really sounds like a national treasure. The ability to produce content tells the story of amazing innovation
of culture that is going on here,” he said while interacting with developers and entrepreneurs.

Lekki-Ikoyi bridge

Zuckerberg went for a jog along the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge, a popular jogging route on the Island.

Eko Hotel and Suites

According to reports, the Facebook CEO had
interaction with tech professionals in a press conference at the foremost Eko Hotel and Suites.


The question is where did SEUN hide himself during the period?

It's time for Seun to break the jinx of his Lagbaja life style...

An appeal goes to all Seun surbodinates to counsel him on what he needs to know.

Waiting to read from Seun

What is your beef?
Till date no one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto (inventor of bitcoin) is/was yet bitcoin is gaining popularity everyday.

I highly doubt this would reach frontpage. Waiting to get proven wrong.
One wonders why he didn't show up. How would he show up when no one knows what he looks like post-2005?

How does someone refusing to make his identity public despite the good work he did or is doing, make my reasoning ancient?

He made himself known. Turned out he's a middle aged Australian Caucasian male.
If the admin doesn't make himself known soon someone else would come out posing as him.

It was all over BBC. Google the name with BBC in the same sentence.

At least he made himself known. He said his reason for coming out was getting tired of anonymity.
Even an imaginary person like Batman's true identity is known to a few people so I can't see a normal human being staying so long without the need for recognition.

There is your proof.

I guess Seun is not in the country...I think Facebook CEO is not important to him...let's wait for Larry Page to visit Nigeria and see if he will not turn up...

Bro I know what am saying. We need good thinker in this country. Millions are been waste daily on fruitless activities when a smart guy can easy convert existing resources to muti million business empire.

For example: if you haven't been to Aba you will never believe that nigeria has the capacity to control africa market. Aba produce sandals , bag, jersey, shoes, cloths, foams. These people can produce anything you can imagine just give them your design and bargain your price.. When you have this big international market all you need is to create link to them . Eg emergence of Alibaba.com, aliexpress.com, this is a website that has the largest group of manufacturers shipping out millions of manufacture product to the world. That can be achieve in aba even without the help of government.
::
Our rich guys are only interested in showing expensive things forgetting that we still need more young billionaires like china. Never doubt it that we can produce phone with our raw materials cos since we can manufacture a car then we can manufacture a phone. All these are what I expect rich young guys to invest into.
::
Seun has the money, has the platform and also have a say in nigeria social media world. He shouldn't relax on nairaland, he should turn is radar on other tech related activities and invest in it unless is not interested in becoming a billionaire.
::
Well this is just my igbo business advise. He can take it or leave it but when am ready I promise to invest in that section. Cos I want to be a billionaire also.

I'm so dissappointed!!! Just wasted my time reading this crap.
