CNN under fire after tweeting this about Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg

Nigerians on Tuesday, August 30, blasted CNN Africa, after the media house didn’t specify the Sub-Saharan country Mark Zuckerberg is visiting.

The seventh wealthiest man in the world discreetly came into Nigeria today, to see how Facebook works in the country and to understand how to improve on the social media platform for Nigerians.

Zuckerberg is in Nigeria for the “Facebook for Developers Workshop” for Nigerian engineers, product managers and partners in Lagos. The programme is slated for Wednesday, August 31.
