This is coming as an official launch date has been slated for December
8 at the federal capital territory, Abuja.
A press statement made available to ITRealms showed that the Minister of Communications,
Barrister Adebayo Shittu, members of ICT and Communications Committees in the
two chambers of the National Assembly and other major stakeholders in the ICT
sector are expected to grace the launch.
The Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Rachel Ogbonna, said
that TalkStuff would bring Nigerian social media users closer to their friends,
families, and communities. It will also ensure that businesses reach their
target audience without any frills and at an acceptable cost to the Nigerian business
men or women.
TalkStuff, according to the promoters, will be a better choice
that will be more appealing for the Nigerian business owners and provide value
for regular users.
The TalkStuff market share, she stressed will comprise of personal
users, business users, groups, and communities who want all the features of
several networks in one powerful and versatile social platform.
“TalkStuff will be combining all the amazing features of several
social networks into one. We are not looking to replace Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn or any other social media network. We are simply going to grab our
market share,” she declared.
Ms. Ogbonna who was optimistic that TalkStuff is going to be a
success, assured that despite the steady slide into an economic depression, the
need for the average Nigerian to communicate and interact on social platforms
has not dissipated, rather, she said the majority of Nigerians now find solace
in the online communities they are connected to and look forward to the few moments
of escape offered by these platforms.
The promoters of the platform, she further stressed were excited
to float the social network in Nigeria because of the interest of the present
administration in the development of local content as a way of diversifying the
economy and drive foreign investments into the country.
“With the current high foreign exchange rate, it has become vital
that all products and services being provided to Nigerian users and businesses,
be mostly home-grown solutions.
“TalkStuff will be a platform where people of all ages, social
status, and interests will meetup to discuss issues that interest them. The
content will be mostly user-generated and will serve as the main form of
engagement for current and prospective users,” she said.
She said the platform will be affordable to all strata of the
Nigerian society and users will have access to information that they need in a
simplified setting, and businesses will have access to their target audience
easily at more affordable rates.
“A robust website, iOS, Android, Windows and Blackberry apps will
be used to achieve our mission. The vision of these web applications is … to
get Africa talking,” she concluded.
