The internet is terrible in Africa right now following an under-sea cable damage that might have been caused by natural disasters under the sea. This has put many African countries in serious problems with many banking activities disrupted and other internet-relying services becoming too slow.

Oh, no. That doesn't sound very good. You're right, some people rely on the internet. That's how much the world has changed these days. Do you know if there is anyone from Africa on MyLot?

@ogbenishyna Yes, we do. I hate it when my internet goes down. It does it for a few seconds and then comes back.
