Goood!!

Sincerely, I saw this coming. They should go after LinedIn, BBC, CNN and Aljazeera too.

If you are currently running a business model that repatriates the whole revenue overseas and it is not mining sector, you may be in trouble with our new laws. So much is changing but there are loads of ignorant naysayers out there. For as long as that money is going out through our banks, FG has captured it and one day will come for you.

Fortunately,ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law.

Yes great, Nigeria government must start exploiting these countries, like America and co does. They make too much profit from our market, we must tax them more.

Stupid

So every advert even by SMEs should be approved by ARCON?

Why stop at that? Why not ask to approve every post that whatsapp vendors place on their status?

Facebook is not a newspaper. ARCON are a bunch of troglodytes.

Did you read? Or you just jumped to post?

They are saying they need to approve Facebook ads before Facebook runs them. Are you a luddite too?

The people talking about revenue didn't even read the post.

Bunch of idiotic regulators in every sector.

There is nothing wrong with this. Facebook should do what is needful. A certain amount of their revenue from the Nigerian populace ought to be paid to the government as tax.
To be looted baa?

They are fighting for their pocket and not for NIGERIANS

FG is right on this. Facebook should pay. They've been hash on Nigerian E-commerce Operators. It's unfair.

use your heads, you can hate the government but be patriotic. Why should a foreign company make money in Nigeria without following the rules or evading fees and taxes? Government gets revenue from advertsing fees among other areas why should Nigerian companies pay and be subjected to regulation while foreign companies evade?

Revenue that will be looted by our evil and corrupt politicians. Nonsense!

OBI-DATTI is the answer.
Vote wisely
Yes o. And Obi is the right person to count the money to the last decimal point! He's adept at such things. Just look at how his left thumb and right index finger are holding the money. Dis one don de do am years before Azikiwe open Onitsha Main Market or even sef, before Okpara come open Upper Iweka road for public use. Make dis mouth no come kill porsin.

The problem with people like you is that you lack understanding. Nigeria is presently ranked 131st in the ease of doing business index. Your government continues to discourage investments and scare off businesses but you applaud because it suits your politics.

You are programmed to blame the government even when they are doing d right thing

Read n read again so u can have a better understanding of what the report is about
With all you typed, I don't see any evidence that you read and understood the article. All I see is emotional attack on others for airing their views

Good one

What Meta can't and won't do in The EU or North America, make them no come do am here.

I'm with the FG on this, if them no gree settle out of court and the FG win the case, if Meta no gree pay, they should be kicked out of Nigeria.

What is the correlation between hating government and being unpatriotic?

All the revenue govt has been getting, how much have you received?

Okay...


To add, Meta seriously needs to review its privacy and advertising policy. I'd not prejudice the FG on the precedent of their Twitter ban because truly, these American companies exhibit their authoritarian control of people's information by incorporating their devices and sites with technologies that steal your information in the background while letting you believe you're in control by fronting their phony 'privacy control' action.

The adverts that you see pop up on your phone or when using the internet are suggested by your usage history and preference.


For instance, even though I am keen about politics, I almost threw up when an ad brought up the face of Tinubu with a 'vote for the right man' tag on it. I lost appetite for the evening meal before me while being thankful that no child was looking at my screen.

I can't handle convulsions.
Lol, when you were clicking on "Accept all Cookies" you probably thought they were sharing biscuits.
Your comment got me laughing grin

Actually, no one would like to see such a face, I understand grin
