Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg’s trip to Nigeria and Kenya may have turned the two nations against each other as a twitter war is currently brewing between citizens of the two African countries.
Reports say Zuckerberg’s Abuja speech on Friday, September 2, may have sparked the clash.
The tech genius, at his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, had said that Nigerians are highly gifted in the Information Communications Technologies (ICT).
“We all met with entrepreneurs as part of Demo Day, an initiative for the Nigerian government to fund entrepreneurs with ideas for improving the country,” Zuckerberg said.
“It has been an inspiring trip. The energy and entrepreneurship in Nigeria and Kenya is amazing. I can’t wait to come back again soon.”
As it seems, Kenyans do not agree Nigerians are so much gifted after all, or perhaps they feel underrated by Zuckerberg’s statement.
