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.”
