- Social Media will reshape Nigeria’s Socio-Economic Space in the Future: Fact or Myth
Social Media signals can and is actually beginning to tell us how Nigeria’s unique commerce and business landscape is spoiling for an outburst. No where is communication and commerce so intricately linked than in Africa’s most populous country. We value relationships and community above all else – and as such social media is teaching us in real-time, about who we are as consumers, how we can be approached and, even engaged in business.

- #TravelAfrica: There’s an App for that! How Smartphone Apps are changing Travel in Africa
Beyond using apps to showcase a brand, the creation of apps offers a new point of entry for entrepreneurs in the tech space. With the exception of a few stellar apps like HopStop from Nigerian entrepreneur Chinedu Echeruo there have been few globally successful apps launched from African developers and the “makers” of the continent have a chance to fill this vacuum. With nearly 100 million smartphones in use on the continent, Africa is truly it’s own trending topic.
- Lagos is Kind of a Big Deal
Why attend this event?
If you live in Lagos and can’t stand the traffic you might want to attend this event! Ok well not really. But the truth is, the neighboring States of the Region have a role to play in achieving the global opportunities of Africa starting with Lagos. What happens in these markets is imperative to the role Lagos will play.

- Social Media Usage during Elections: Case Studies in Crowdsourcing and Online Hate Speech Monitoring.
With social media has come the era of the ‘citizen journalist.’ The concept of citizen journalism is based on social media tools allowing everyone to become a creator, by making the publishing and distribution of multimedia content both free and easy, for amateurs and professionals alike. The Internet has substituted traditional media as a source for obtaining news and information about current events, introducing a means to stay updated in real time, and has democratized the expression of opinions.
