Development of the Gosabi Project commenced in mid-April, 2011 after a lot of naysaying and criticism. "There are giants in the search market", "Africans don't even have content online", "Make sure your code works before you start dreaming" and "I'm going to leave you alone now" were the comments that met most talk about an African premium-content search engine.
Simply put, we just wanted a search utility where you could be looking for something in an area near you and actually find it without having to filter through a whole lot of cybernetic dross. This was something that almost no search engine could provide for you. More importantly, it seemed that the things we were looking for perhaps weren't even online... yet. So we set to work with the unique objective of building this solution.
This is our story.
