Exactly!

They will tell you His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) should have negotiated with Mark on behalf of the world.

They could even say it was because of the Nigerian economy that Mark had to bring up such.

Those lots, you can never estimate lengths they can go to showcase their hate for the demigod.

You get it. WhatsApp has really gone rogue though. People sent me birthday wished. A week later. I was srndcthsnk you to each of them. WhatsApp suddenly retrict my account for 24hrs. There was about 27 people yet to thanks. I started again 3 days later and after about 22 thank yous, they restrict me again. I started thinking is this a messaging app or a social media app? Cause what if I have family emergency or an earthquake alert to pass on to people. Omo the world needs a true messaging apps that not for profit like a Wikipedia that will not suddenly block or impose high fees on you for a technology that has been around for 30+ years.

Bad move
Re: Whatsapp To Charge Businesses Per Message From October 1 by SeriouslySense(m): 8:10pm On Aug 28
they are going rogue, i created group and it went crazy limiting my account, although the limit was removed after about 7 hours or so.

The app have become so useful, that they want to monetize as much as they can. They really sucked people in.

If you mean how much Meta charges businesses for sending messages on WhatsApp Business, the answer depends on whether you're using the WhatsApp Business Platform/API rather than the regular WhatsApp Business app.

As of 2026, Meta generally charges businesses per delivered message, with rates varying by message category and recipient's country.

For Nigeria, the main categories are:

Marketing — promotional messages

Utility — transactional/service messages

Authentication — OTPs and verification codes

Service — customer-initiated conversations, which have different pricing rules

Basically the charge is for big businesses using WhatsApp to send bulk messages or run services. If you are a regular business talking to single customer you are exempt.

Charging businesses per message is exploitative. Can't they charge fixed amount monthly?

Why is he running helta skelta to stop FBI from releasing his drug case file? If I am the one that was accused of doing drugs and was arranged by the FBI. I will gladly ask the FBI to release whatever files they have about me. Since I know I am innocent.


But ya Oga no gree. He has lost sleep since the day US attorney General asked FBI to release the case file.

So with your education and enlightenment, that qualifies that he does drugs?

Please note that His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has a civic and constitutional right to make records of his case not to be made public.

He is not doing from the sides and openly doing from a legal perspective.

Where your criminality charge came from is out of nowhere?


He wasn’t convicted of any crime in the records, so what are you looking out for?
