Facebook’s Zuckerberg hails Nigerian founder of women support group

ABUJA, June 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has praised a U.S.-based Nigerian woman for running a secret support group on the social media platform where more than one million women discuss issues ranging from health and marriage to work and sex.

The head of the world’s largest social networking company met with Lola Omolola, who is based in Chicago, and posted late on Tuesday about Female IN (FIN), which was founded in 2015.

“It’s a no-judgment space … helping end the culture of silence that exists for women in some parts of the world,” the 33-year-old billionaire said in a post on his Facebook page.
