According to her, Africa must be willing to examine its cultural practices and change those that are harmful to society. She stressed that while culture remains an important part of African identity, traditions should not be protected at the expense of human life.

When I look at the way business is carried out in Africa, I clearly see that social media has completely changed the game. In fact, I can say that social media is one of the greatest business tools that Africa has seen in recent times. Whether we like it or not, social media has changed the way people buy, sell, advertise, communicate with customers, and even grow their businesses.
