After Nigeria banned popular microblogging site Twitter, Koo has launched in the country. Koo app is considered India’s alternative to Twitter. The co-founder and CEO of the app Aprameya Radhakrishna officially confirmed.
Nigeria banned Twitter after the microblogging site deleted a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari for violating rules.
Taking this as an advantage Koo launches in Nigeria and is now available for all in the country. Interestingly, Radhakrishna took to Twitter to announce Koo’s availability in Nigeria and said, “@kooindia is available in Nigeria. We’re thinking of enabling the local languages there too. What say?”.
Koo launched in India a few months ago. Several Indian government officials are on Koo and use the platform regularly. The Indian government has also been urging Twitter users to join homegrown app Koo. The application is available on both the Google Play store as well as App Store. In India, Koo is downloaded by over 5000000 users on the Google Play store.
