Agbora Launches “Africa’s Social Network,” that will Connect Africa and the African Diaspora

Agbora, pronounced /uhbôruh/, has just released its first version on Apple’s App Store, with Android versions on the way.

The mobile application, also known as “Africa’s Social Network,” is a social networking app that aims to connect Africa, the African diaspora, and people from all over the world through a platform where professionals, influencers, talents, and leaders can share ideas, knowledge, memories, interests, and opportunities through a network of trusted relationships.

It has a robust newsfeed, microblogging, polling, AgboraChat, and an advanced search feature that helps users find connections. “First versions of SM apps are usually ones you want to forget,” one user says. Not in this place.” Another user called the app a “innovative way to connect with people all over the world.”

Agbora was created by a diverse team of engineers from Nigeria, Egypt, India, and the United States to help users express themselves and their brand, grow their circle, facilitate lasting meaningful relationships, and promote economic and professional opportunities by allowing users to find synergy, learn from each other, share experiences and thought leadership, poll friends, and share and discover opportunities.

Agbora hopes to attract Africans and the diaspora from both the continent and the diaspora. Its features were designed to appeal to both casual users who are primarily interested in social interactions and professional users who are primarily interested in business and professional opportunities.

Users are encouraged to share photos and memories, blog about their experiences, share thought leadership on topics they are passionate about, use polls to spark conversation and get feedback from their network, promote their personal brands and share career highlights, and use the advanced search to find and discover new connections by industry, title, location, and other criteria.

Agbora, created and developed by Agbora Inc., is completely free and can be downloaded from the App Store by clicking here.
