It's easy to say that because you don't have business running on Facebook like others.

You know the numbers of people who's source of income is on Facebook?

Ironically, you're on point here, Offpoint1. I may have been a little insensitive, but the point is they're just flexing muscle. Did they shut down Facebook in Europe when they were fined $1.3 billion? No. They played the same "service disruption" card. WhatsApp offended but they're banning Facebook? No panic my brother, they'll sort themselves out.

This useless and insensitive istration is using all means to generate money for themselves. Crook istration ever.

You should search and see the fines these organisations pay in western countries. Respect us and our laws like you do other countries. Search and see how much Google was fined in . No be everything be politics.

What's good in them closing down operations in Nigeria. I want to genuinely learn.
There are lots of online businesses that thrive due to these platforms not to talk of their monetisation scheme.
Do people just talk to be seen as patriotic or there are things I don't understand.

They're making profit too, they should pay the host nations what is to them. Simple

Unfortunately Nigerian leaders don't mind whether they cut off or not. All they want is their pockets

People are going to lose so much money cause a lot of Nigeria earn from there and use it for advertising. This is actually not a good thing at all. Millions of Nigerian business run ads on FB and instagram.

They can't threaten Nigeria with that. Do you know how much they make from Nigerian patronage.
