The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, is set to unveil Nigeria's first ever social media platform titled ‘2GEDA’ on August 16.
According to THE NATION while interviewing the co-founder of the social media platform, Smith Eze, ‘2GEDA’ was a historic step towards redefining Nigeria's digital presence on the global realm.
He emphasized that the platform was designed to serve as a digital home for Nigerians and Africans, as well as internet users worldwide by providing a safe, inclusive and innovative space for communication, collaboration and commerce.
He further stressed that the event would hold on August 16 by 3pm in Akanran, Ibadan.
Addressing the press ahead of the events, the Ooni of Ife described ‘2GEDA’ as “a digital revolution tailored for Nigerians, by Nigerians and for the benefit of Africa at large.”
The event is expected to host dignitaries and eminents from all walks of life including Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Obi Cubana, top political office holders and among other revered personalities.
The event is scheduled to usher in a live demonstration of the 2GEDA web and mobile platforms. This will also follow with keynote addresses, cultural performances and a roundtable dialogue on digital innovation and indigenous tech development.
This is a brilliant innovation. Let's see its becoming!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is. We yearn for its implementation.
DeleteA very good initiative , atleast Nigeria will also have its own social media platform
ReplyDeleteIndeed, we would have a platform of our own to boast of. More over, our government will be able to exercise her digital sovereignty, which I hope would not be used as a tool for further silencing the voiceless.
