h we understand it will be going live in South Africa next month. What it looks like with features,
such as meeting and connecting with other learners, asking an expert and learning,
this will be social learning for Africa. Now the question is
"will this be the ‘killer’ platform that will take Nigerians and Cameroonians away from facebook?
