Facebook users in Nigeria and allover the world have been unable to access the social media platform since few hours ago.

Those who access facebook via web browsers cannot log in while facebook app users who are already logged in have not been able to make new posts, replies or comments.

Group admins can't add, remove or accept requests.
Page owners currently can't run facebook adverts.

In general, so many facebook tools are currently not functioning.

However, facebook messenger is still active and responsive.


Users have been forced to ask questions as regards whether or not the platform is hacked or is it just down due to server error or is it as a result of overpopulation of users? Remember last month Mark Zuckerberg announced that facebook has reached over 2 billion active users.

At exactly 1:30pm today (26-08-2017) I tried making a post on facebook with my facebook app but kept receiving error feedback as can be seen in the screenshot attached. All efforts proved abortive. As I logged out, I couldn't log in anymore.

Am I the only one experiencing this or is it a general problem?
