I thought I would share some interesting things about Africa for any of you who are considering joining the CHI – Ericsson’s Ireland-based Competency Hub that supplies talent to the region. Here goes:
- Sub Saharan Africa has a bigger land area than India and China combined.(wow)
- The number of languages spoken in Sub Saharan Africa is over a thousand.
- More oil is produced in Sub Saharan Africa than in the Middle East. (sorry EMEA!)
- Mobile Data penetration is expected to double by 2015
- The second largest market in the world for Guinness is Nigeria. (is this why the RSSA CHI is in Ireland?)
