How Many Nigerians/Africans Are Using Facebook Zero (Zero Data Charges)? by toshodei: 4:40pm On Aug 19, 2014
Today, we are launching another way for people to access Facebook anytime, anywhere: 0.facebook.com. 0.facebook.com is a new mobile site that includes all of the key features of Facebook but is optimized for speed. It initially is available through more than 50 mobile operators in 45 countries and territories with zero data charges.

Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanley recently forecast that the two fastest growing areas of the technology industry are the mobile Internet and social services. At Facebook we're at the center of these two trends with more than 100 million people actively using Facebook from their mobile device and with more than 200 mobile operators in 80 countries offering and promoting Facebook Mobile.

Most likely the mobile view unless you put it into a desktop site. What device are you using to access it? A Desktop/Laptop/Mobile?
