Even with all the serious information, education and skills shared, the platform manages to remain casual and cordial. Great network of contributors, great place to be!

We need to be truly continental, so at the risk of being repetitive, we should incorporate neighbors from Naija and the other Sub Saharan countries. We have the tech power to devise a platform of our own. Away from WhatsApp and FB where we can advertise, link up and have the videoconferencing capability. This is for starters
