BBM would have taken the lead a long time ago, but they were just too comfortable in an uncomfortable position restricting themselves of the blessings that suppose to follow. It's good to look ahead, think and project into the future...

Pa James! reason well na

me Pa James? Uncle Ivory.

I use whatsapp and would gladly have paid to use it, because I keep wondering how do they make the money to stay in business when it's given free?

MY DAD KEPT ASKING ME TO GET HIM A 3G ENABLED PHONE SO HE COULD ALWAYS READ THE NEWS AS THEY BREAK ONLINE, DAYS LATER HE SENT ME A "HI" ON WHATSAPP.WHATSAPP IS SERIOUSLY TAKING OVER...

interesting

WhatsApps original business plan was to charge for the service. Between $0.99 - $3.00 depending on what part of the world you are and what partnerships they had with mobile carriers.
Now they probably made a lot then because they had over 500 million users x $1.oo(minimum amount charged) x multiply by 3 years( 2013 when they introduced the charge) = a lot of KFC for life.

Since WhatsApp stopped charging, chances are they are targeting big corporations who have the money to pay for the huge user list ( 1 billion users+) and your phone numbers will be given to them to use to target their marketing towards you.
Example: Your bank asks you to check off a form that’s asks if you use WhatsApp and then they can send out mass marketing messages directed to you.

Remember. Nothing…. Is… free.. Ever.

does 1 in 7 even use phone?
not to talk of whatsapp

You know that is what this statistic people do. 1 in 7 is even good, haven't you read report where they said that an average Nigerian has two mobile lines. I tend to wonder whether the toddlers too have phones.

S̶̲̥̅Ơ true.. ℓ can attest t̶̲̥̅̊ợ̣̣̇̇̇ †̥hα̲̅†.. Have chatted with millions of randy guys with it..

^ and they will tap that ass in return.

handwork of Zuckgaberg sha. dat man is jus blessed

he's still a young guy under 30. graduated some years back n the facebook we all use was his project work. he recently acquired whatsapp from a little boy who originally has it just last yr.

the question is, what has a Nigeria child done with his leisure time apart from ps2, bbm, Twitter, whatsapp, facebook n others chatting n flirting.
everyone wants to study petroleum to work in oil coy no one wants to write a code, craft making, design or other self made artistic.

I hope we all get it right.

sometimes you ladies are the contributing factor as most ladies want a super star or super model who will spoil her with all the wealth of life.
no lady wants to suffer and work with a struggling guy to attain his God given potential every lady wants an already made man. but it doesn't work that way.
