A few million of Obama’s closest friends are blowing up his mobile…

Mr Obama will answer a number of texts – which will be selected by journalists from Senegal, Kenya and South Africa.

… The president’s media adviser, Macon Phillips, told the BBC’s Network Africa programme he wanted the messages to be part of a “continental conversation”.

Mr Phillips said people could text whatever they wanted – questions, criticism or just general comment.

The White House has set up local SMS short codes for people to send their messages: Ghana – 1731 / Nigeria – 32969 / South Africa – 31958 / Kenya – 5683.

Elsewhere, the numbers are: 61418601934 and 45609910343.

It has also set up Twitter feeds and blogs on a special page, #obamaghana.
