Many Nigerians would be happy to hear that Whatsapp is killing this feature, with experience have seen many people dump the app because of the $1 payment. The only way to get around this $1 payment then was to change your phone, with this good news now many nigerians who can not afford to pay or to get a new phone can use the service for as long as they want

the one dollar a year charge might not sound like much, but still prevents many people from using the service in particular, those without access to card payments. If WhatsApp wants to become the messaging service of the masses, it needs to be entirely free, much like most of its competition.
Koum said that aside from being an obstacle for some users, the once-a-year payment wasn't working all that well. Not least, because it gave some users anxiety that service might suddenly stop, it also doesn't hurt to curry a little favor in some of your biggest potential markets
