Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stepped into Nigeria this week and
was excited to interact with Nigerians describing Nollywood, the second
largest producers of movies in the world as a Nigerian 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 says during
interaction with developers and entrepreneurs.
The forum was part
of his ongoing visit to Africa’s most populous nation which began
Thursday with a surprise visit to innovation nerve centre, CC Hub
located in Yaba area of Lagos.
He
adds excitedly, “One of my plans while here is to visit Nollywood. It’s
one of the biggest content producers in the world. On his experience
eating pounded yam, he said “I requested cutlery because I can’t
comprehend using my hands. I pulled out a piece of meat. My colleagues,
Ime and Ebele looked at each other and asked, “what have we done?” I
think the snail was delicious. One of the thing that makes me. I was
told not to compare the jollof rice with that of neighbouring
countries.”
