Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, has met with Nigeria’s Lola Omolola, founder of a secret Facebook group popularly called Female In Nigeria (FIN). A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report said FIN was founded in 2015 by Omolola, a movement of women focused on building compassion and providing support for one another, with the goal of having up to 1000 members in the group.

However, the group had exceeded its target as it recently hit one million members.

On his Facebook page last Tuesday, Zuckerberg said he will be meeting with Lola and other top Facebook group admins in Chicago this month for the first ever Facebook Communities Summit.

He wrote, “This photo is with Lola, who lives in Chicago and is originally from Nigeria. Two years ago, she founded a secret Facebook group called Female In Nigeria, or FIN,” Zuckerberg’s post read.

Zuckerberg said FIN is “a no-judgment space where more than a million women come to talk about everything from marriage and sex to health issues and work problems’’

“It is helping to end the culture of silence that exists for women in some parts of the world. I’m looking forward to meeting more admins like Lola and talking about how we can help them do even more to build community,” he noted.
