Ban it in Nigeria too and allow us grow our own app

No because the government will use it against her citizens that's why lie Mohammad tried but failed during buhari...

Imagine Nigeria with our Popular SM, those in power and the rich will ride on common Nigerians...

SM help the common in Nigerian in time of injustice...

Nigerians go sick, if dem block WhatsApp for this country..

This messaging app as transformed our social lives

Tinubu and his evil followers are already on cooking evil ahead like they always do.😝

I can't sign off on some of the provided information. I remember having several whatsApp video calls during a 3 hours layover in Qatar. And internet usage was free for me.

You didn't mention Saudi Arabia, you can only send messages on Whatsapp but you can't use it to call

Nnamdipapa:
Exactly my comments. Our 300m population is just making money for the west.

Dey play


How many people build app when buhari ban twitter??

Nnamdipapa:
Nigeria shoùld follow suit and block WhatsApp too, let the government sponsor a tech group that can build our own repluca of WhatsApp, thus way we take advantage of our population to grow our tech sector.
We must move from consumers of technology to creators and inventors, this is what China is doing and it is paying off. We have almost 300million population and others in Africa will join us same way Nollywood is being consumed by other africans. Our population should be an advantage to us and not a liability.

Nigerians are more of consoomers than creators

We can change. China was once a consumer nation and this us 2025 the age of generative AI. There is nothing impossible under the Sun from 2025. The world as well know it is getting changed right before us

Thats because china stand true to the communist ideology

Russia went to shit when the soviet union disbanded


The only way for nigeria to be glorious like china is for nigerians to be united and only being class conscious can really help us

Olufemiolaolu:
Banning WhatsApp is madness, why ban something that promotes easy communication among your citizens, The countries where it's banned are only afraid of their citizens awareness of their right to information acquisition.

Not every country will supply information to West freely like Nigeria, and those have better human rights than Nigeria.

When is Nigeria going to ban it? We need to follow soothe

I agree but to do that we have to start from somewhere. The journey of a thousand miles will usually start with one step. I believe in Nigeria and it is not too late to build for the future generations. We can't have our people running of of the country at the slightest opportunity. I will do my part and create sensitization for others to join.

But I'm using WhatsApp

tanigororo:
WhatsApp is fast becoming a political tools and a security loophole for most countries nowadays. Especially for espionage purpose

Can't countries build their own WhatsApp type with their own countries code

China should not cry wen US threatened to ban tic tok. China just dey ban everything but want everything from dem reach the world particularly Africa

Na wen African countries go begin dey ban both western and asian products and rely on their local and indigenous products. Our leadership system needs overhaul.

Na twitter buhari ban that year. Buhari has been a ghost even before the ban

Wondering why Nigeria is not there, OP.

Sebi buhari banned Twitter in 2021 for the last six months of that year.

Of course they can, but consider what they call network effect.
Network get more useful and more powerful as more users join it.

osuofia2:
Just say mumu sit tight leaders that blocked WhatsApp In their countries.
All the Countries listed are notorious for not respecting human right.
It's difficult to see any better country in the list. Especially Europe, forget about Those kangaroos countries you listed

You. Know nothing about ruling a country, do you?

By staying in power for more than 20 years? Is he the only one in the country? The West is the best and will continue to be best.
How opposition have disappeared from Russia and China

Unbiased1:
Notice how US apps are blocked in China and some other countries without noise, no media frenzy, nobody is accusing anyone of being anticompetitive. Let's wait until the US retaliates first.

So the one trump, is forced tik tok to become american owned is not retaliation....

It hasn't been concluded yet. I hope it gets concluded soon and other Chinese apps like Alipay and WeChat also get banned. They can still tolerate Temu for now.

that true Sir, so logical

aribisala0:
You
You assumptions are naive
The world does not work like that
It is more than just an app
A lot more deeper security concern

Why is Trump trying to buy Tiktok by force
Why is Telegram owner. DUROV persecuted

The assumption of free market and equal opportunities is really amusing

The jokes on you.

Protectionism has failed to industrialize the country. You don't have to ban a product in order to manufacture or produce it.

Chinese manufacturing growth was export driven like dozens in the recent decades.

I come from an era where it was a big do to have an international penpal. The internet was therefore a transformation.

The internet by its very nature is a global platform. Why now localize? I had my first email address in 1996, and I have been browsing since 1997. I was a trailblazer. Nigerians only started browing in 1999, and it was only in 2001 I would say it became common place. I used to charge N350 to open free Yahoo email addresses for people in 1999/2000 which is about 6,000 in today's money. My love for it is that it is a globalized platform.

Find an unexploited niche in the social media space and grow with it. That's what Telegram you mentioned did. I did not even know it was Russian until about 2 years ago. I don't like the app though I have downloaded it, but there are those who love it.

Trump isn't trying to buy Tiktok. Tiktok's problem is that it is a Chinese owned app and China and the US are adversaries. China has banned most US social media apps because China is a dictatorship and wants to have full control of how information flows within its borders. It spends $140bn a year on seivellance year. The US Senate, and not Trump, felt that the Chinese could use Tiktok to snoop on American users of the app, or use it to distribute info. For instance, it is rare on Tiktok to come across a video that criticizes China.
