Just landed in Nairobi! I'm here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money -- where Kenya is the world leader.I'm starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met -- Fausto and Mark -- designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It's inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community.

Zuckerberg was recently in Nigeria for the “Facebook for Developers Workshop” for Nigerian engineers, product managers and partners in Lagos,which took place on Wednesday, August 31.The Facebook founder while in Lagos revealed that he has no plan to change the mode of operations of Whatsapp, an instant message app recently acquired by Facebook.
