News headlines have it that Zuckerberg visited President Buhari… That’s a great news headlines . The visit is symbolical and it is a pointer that Nigeria is being recognised as an ICT hub globally. You don’t get Facebook CEO visiting you daily. He is the world sixth richest man fpr crying out loud and this visit has to be” celebrated “. Don’t just relax! There is a stinker to this .


But what is there to celebrate? Are we celebrating a man that has made so much for himself and his country or are we celebrating the killing of Nigerian ICT start ups or are we celebrating an American system that encourages American dream? These are the few questions we have to ask ourselves.
Zuckerberg came from a country where dreams are made manifest, a country that supports youths ingenuity ,a country that accepts genius irrespective of their religion and today they are the greatest country in the planet . That country is USA,let us forget about his Jewish roots. What are Nigeria as a country learnt from this visit ?Zuckerberg has come and gone but what can we learn from this ? Have we been able to know that there are things that should be prioritised such as research and development not politicking. Have we as a country understand that the youth is the key to development? Have we asked how the banks gave supported the army of technologies and technical breakthrough in the country ? Have we learnt from how we treated local ICT firms with disdain such as Remita software and others?https://etimesafrica./2016/09/02/zuckerberg-visit-buhari-and-so-what/
