“Oju Africa” creates first Afro emoticons

A company called “Oju Africa” – The Faces of Africa – which happens to be a sub-division of Mi-Fone, has created the first set of Afro-based emoticons. They’ve bundled it in form of an app – available for download from the Google Play Store – with which you can attach the emoticons as images in your chat windows. Not exactly the most desirable implementation but, if you’re all for black power in texticon, it’s a start.
