StartupsNigeria » Exclusive Interview with Temi Kolawole on BarCampAfrica: "SN: You just came back from BarCampAfrica held in California. Please tell us what it was all about.

Temi: BarCamp is basically an informal gathering of people to share ideas, based mainly around technology. I must confess that BarCampAfrica was a little different from others I’ve attended, in that I expected it to be a technology event, but found it to be a lot more about African development and charity. That’s of concern to me. I believe there’s extreme poverty all over the world, in Asia, Europe and other places, but we all still find it
very hard to talk about Africa, without focusing on charity and aid."
