A few years ago, Nigerians see Facebook as a non-conformist, tree-hugger, many shunned the idea of creating a rudimentary web profile. Why be just like everyone else – a page with smiley pictures and lame posts concerning one’s daily life?
Facebook grew exponentially and quickly became a social media giant. Soon everyone I knew had one. Everyone I met had one. They would ask “what’s your facebook so I can add you?.” I’d chuckle and say “we’ll keep in touch.” But could we?
