Facebook Should Be Banned In Nigeria by pascal558(m): 9:40pm On Aug 20, 2019
Recently I have noticed that Nigerians can no longer sign up on facebook, and even if they manage to sign up their accounts get blocked in a matter of days. Fine there are scanners in Nigeria but not all Nigerians are scanners, and secondly once you open a new account you will see those white men/women flooding your inbox with messages and instead of facebook to attend to then got disturbing your peace, they block you that was Jejely on your own. From my own point of view, facebook has relegated us as a nation and this should not be taken lightly as we will soon face worse cases if this is not handle properly, and my solution to this is to ban facebook. But this will only work when we have a hood Nigerian social network which I don't think we have currently. If Nigerians in diaspora leave facebook, trust me it's a big loss to them. let me have your opinion on this please .

You must have had issues with them and you know it's easy to track an IP address, that's why people prefer to buy old accounts try using a new phone number and another computer to register.

This is a general case and not just in Nigeria alone. Facebook is being used for so many activities not just by yahoo boys in Nigeria but also by Indians and Pakistans to fight each other and still scam alot of victims. Even China is included and almost all African nations.
The IP is being marked already and facebook is rejecting all new accounts now because most of them are usually opened for scam purposes.

Now let's examine it from this perspective. Facebook has been around for so many years now and it is believed that most people in their twenties should have had their facebook accounts a long time ago. So why then will someone of late twenties or thirties be registering for facebook now.

If you register a new account as a 14- 16years old they might hardly block it because they feel you are probably a young chap that just got to the age of having a facebook account.

You really can't blame them for this because the rate of fake account and scam is far too much and can crash facebook at anytime so they have no alternative than to protect the millions of already registered accounts they see as legitimate than to allow new ones be registered.

Yes I know that and the problem there is that facebook can't really do anything about that anymore especially when it a Nigerian IP. Whoever have hacked the account must have used it for scam purposes and when you report they just take it that it's Nigeria so no need because it might be the owner of the account. Though very bad but thats because of what yahoo boys have brought upon the Nigerian IP and it's quite unfortunate.
