During his visit to Nigeria, Zuckerberg said social
media application currently allowed the use of
Hausa language on Facebook.
He said: “I am glad we support Hausa and we are
planning on supporting a lot more languages soon.”
Zuckerberg also expressed his willingness to work
with local content providers in bringing Nigerian
communities to the internet.
He said having local contents on the Facebook
platform would ensure that more people were
connected.
According to him, in the next 10 to 15 years,
Facebook hopes to get everyone in the world
connected online.
Checked this morning discovered Yoruba Language

become functional, but Igbo yet to be. probably
both are still on developmental stages.
But so far, so good, its a good omen for our local
languages.
