This will affect the youth both in the short and the long run. Even if WhatsApp pay the money, will the money not be wasted on frivolities and politics.

The fine seems hefty in my opinion

Hefty? You have no clue how much they make selling data of users.

Extortionist Tinubu wants to develop Nigeria with Owomida like he developed Lagos

You have a slave mentality and it is people like you that hinder the development of Nigeria.

Every time you use Facebook, WhatsApp and google, they collect your data. You will be shocked what they know about you. They use this data to make money off you by selling your info to other companies.

You are now saying they can collect any data they want and use it any way they want! I hope you know this is the reaso. They claim they want to ban TikTok from the US. I hope you know the EU has fined them
Billions for this same sharp practice.

We are unpatriotic people and that’s why we don’t make progress….learn a lesson from how ordinary Chinese responded to the imposition of tarrifs by the US. Your own is to side with outsiders because you hate the government and demarket your country to outsiders.

Expect expensive cost on Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram services.

Tinubu should be sent to Burkina Faso for training.

Govt that's a band of bandits. They are just looking for ways to generate forex. What did whatsapp do? How much do they generate in Nigeria?
That's like forcing them to rob Peter just to pay Paul(Nigerians) but they are saying, Paul(Nigerians) must pay Paul and not Peter.

Mr Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, kindly use that same vibe and energy and visit various markets across the 36 states and tackle traders that are deliberately increasing the price of commodities in the market...

every country wan suck WhatsApp dry
but even dem dey use people personal data anyhow

Politicians no go allow anything happen to Whatsapp cos thats what they use to commit there evil untraced

No wahala. You may exit Nigeria if the profits from Nigeria is not worth it. If the government did not value your Free Basics initiative, a service offering free access to basic internet services to people, of which Nairaland is also accessible with it, they should feel free to take any decision that benefits Meta business.

the are fined in Europe. They will not threaten to leave Europe. Stop commenting like a slave

You are not serous. In America where average 9-5 office worker can spend equivalent of N1m in disposable funds a month, their data is highly valuable to merchants, sellers and advertisers. In Nigeria, to mildly put it, people spend as high as 70% on feeding so have almost nothing left for the sort of things advertisers and onlines commercials businesses target with such data from WhatsApp and the likes. What is your data worth to any serious person?

Good one. Nigerians aren't playing at all.

Criminals government as usual... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Awon Ole

I would rather trust my data and personal information in the hands of Meta even if they sell it than in the hands of the Federal government of Nigeria.

My thoughts exactly

Exactly!!!

This is why SM companies pay very little in comparison to other locations for African views.

Check what YouTube pays for African views.

Africans are poor. We barely have any disposable income.

Advertising to Africans is a waste of time and effort because they can't buy what is advertised.

Whatsapp should call the FGNs bluff and shut down their services.

The Tinubu government is a corrupt extractive regime who don't know how to add value to anything

The joke is on you if you don't know ads are ran with data of citizens. A bigger joke will be on you if you don't know and you are waiting to be fed with information when you have Google and chatGPT at your disposal.

So apt. The unwillingness to add value is a pandamic to Africa and even more pronounced in the leaders.

The FCCPC order contains multiple inaccuracies and misrepresents how WhatsApp works,




Tufiakwa ndị Afrịka.

Una shame dey shame me.

Chai!!

My reply to another poster already acknowledges what you are trying to maliciously reply to as not part of my submission. I know data is used in ads and carries value to merchants and online businesses but what is african data worth. The joke is on you as my initial question still stands. Howmuch does WhatsApp make from Nigeria?

Since Nigeria is poor, does whatsapp understand that? If they do please tell me why ads are being charged for since they know people hardly convert from ads.

But u have made plenty million dollars from Nigeria, so try pay ur fine

This government is systematically heading the way of North Korea.
Disengaging social media is their plan all along.
It will soon happen.
Those allegations are mere excuses.
Open your eyes my people.

when we open eye what will happen
Have our eyes been closed before
