Our preference would be to have the person located in Nairobi or Abuja/Lagos, but we don’t (yet, anyway) have offices there, and if we hired someone in a country where we don’t have an office, they couldn’t be full-time employees because we have no legal entity there yet to employ them. We recognize that this is huge limitation, but we hope that if the business grows across Africa, it will get to the size where we can launch an office in another market.

Windows Phone 10
by Arthur Buliva 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Am looking at changing ecosystems from Android to Windows. I have used Androids for a while and they get the job done. I also have an Android tablet which really doesn't give me any added advantage than a big screen phone, in my opinion. I'd rather go for a Surface. I have not used WP before therefore I am a newbie in that aspect. Now, this is not meant to start a fanboy war, but what I would like to know from anyone experienced in both ecosystems, what's your preference and why. I am not a gamer, in fact games are the first to get uninstalled in my phones. Notes, email, calendars, occasionally skype or whatsapp are my primary uses. Talk to me
