Between Mark Zuckerberg and 'silent killer' diseases

“It was a top secret and nobody was meant to know before his arrival. It was actually for security reasons but now that he is here, he would be able to interact with tech professionals and other Nigerians today in a press conference at Eko Hotel and Suites tomorrow (today).” -A close source told Vanguard.

It was an experience, the great people of Nigeria will never forget.

On Tuesday, 30 August 2016, the Nigerian media was awash with news of billionaire and co-founder of Facebook (one of the world’s most prolific social media sites) the visit to Nigeria.

The father-of-one after meeting with the Pope in Italy, the 5^thrichest man in the world, sneaked into Nigeria to meet with developers and entrepreneurs and to discuss investments in Nigeria’s growing start-up ecosystem.

On Wednesday morning, he jogged across the Ikoyi-Lekki bridge

Zuckerberg helped to show the rest of the world that Nigeria is not so bad at all, and that something really exciting is happening here among the country’s young population. 

He had no bodyguards. He did not have to hire a lorry load of Nigerian policemen to keep watch over him. 

He trekked on the streets of Lagos, surrounded by a few of his hosts. On Wednesday morning, he jogged across the Ikoyi-Lekki bridge. He ate pounded yam, shrimps, snails (I thought they said he is a vegan!) and jollof rice (Nigerian jollof (!) not that one from Ghana). His visit went smoothly. More investors may well be encouraged to visit Nigeria too, seeing how confidently a whole $53.7 billion walked freely about in Nigeria, and he was not stolen or kidnapped. --Reuben Abati

 Marky sneaked into Nigeria, visit places, held meetings, met with Nigerian celebrities... and yes! The president of Nigeria! Gosh! Who would have thought that he will even take selfies with him?
