It is universal

My best app....80% reliable...before I transact any business with a stranger....I first check up his contact on that app

Good development

🙄🙄

More important issues are on ground to intervene in but no, They only speak when it suits them. This country deserves to be sold

This is a welcome development

True caller?
In about a decade that I have been using smart phones, I have never used that app before.

But....

Government should focus on better and tangible things like providing electricity than this deliberate waste of time and money!

Ok

if by this time you don't the only thing this administration is good at is at lying then...

Na wa oo, they leave FSARS wey dey our shokoto dey go investigate Truecaller wey dey Sokoto, clueless government. While they are at it, they should also investigate Google and Facebook

Yes please long overdue. This is app is ridiculous and truly a breach of privacy. The app actually saves your name as what majority of others have saved your name as. I once checked my number on the app and saw my name saved a derogatory sexually explicit name that some of my friends call me as a joke. Funny right? Until I lost a business deal just because someone I was trying to do business with was convinced I lied about my name just because truecaller says I'm called something else! I can understand if it pulls the data from the owner of the number but it doesn't and this, in my view, is the main flaw with this app. Why should someone choose to make my name and number available to everyone especially without my permission? Disgrace of an app!

ha nawa oooo

We all know how e go end

Okay

Yes

That app has good and bad sides.

Breached? But users accept the T&C of such apps na... Kai, this government likes to spend & focus of frivolous issues!

Who will investigate FG and her goro-eating idiotic leader?

Nonsense people

Hehehe...

Monkey wan investigate Lion

You no go hear this news again

We have read cases where other countries like France fine Google and co.in billions of dollars. Let's see how this one will pan out

As in ehn this truecaller app I stopped using it a long time ago when I read their terms and conditions. Of which most Nigerian don't bother reading

this FG mumu gan!

truecaller breaches nothing. if I save a number as 'tupac' on my phone trucaller will tag that number as tupac. until the real owner of the number uses a different name to register d number in his/her phone before the name changes.

True caller only searches to see if a particular number is tagged with any name anywhere online.

Free truecaller jare.
Investigate 1xbet, a Russian bet company that operates in Nigeria and spy it's users.

everyone deserves to know the identity of people calling their line
it`s our right
the stupid Nigerian government is just looking for ways to fine companies and satisfy their greedy wants
the next thing that we would hear is
``fg to investigate the usefulness of cctv camera`s in banks``
fu*king democratic government!
