If i tag you the real wailer now I wonder if this will ever end some day. If you have problem with your family why not face it like a man? Jumping on another man's matter and turn it to an opportunity to give lecture won't help your sorry situation. The guy mentioned the name of the person his petition was addressed to and you are still here crying over the forgone matter. Is this really the reason why you are here? Stay with your family and be a man to address your situation. Don't come and vent your anger on anyone here. Isn't it obvious I didn't cause your misfortune?

Typical Nigerian scumbag. So its your own matter or you jumped into it as if you are searching for your IQ in a deep pit. Thank God for cheap Chinese phones and cheap Internet as simpletons like you and other members of your low life, unfortunate and cursed family now have an opportunity to open their putrid "gutters" on social media.

Me I no they mention seun name again o. Anytime I do, na ban dem dey dash me. Lalasticlala's antispam bot keeps banning me for at least an hour. The one wey I mention now, I don't know the repercussion.

franugo:

do u have to change any settings?

nope

I hope you are using airtel. Enter free.facebook.com, scroll to where we have the followings, sms, poke, groups, etc that's where the free basic link is located, click on the link.
N/B: You don't have to enter nairaland.com, it is under a section probably learning or social and communication after you've clicked on free basic. am nt sure for now.
BONUS: you can even download the free basic app on android

Hello, you seem to be familiar with the Free Basics Platform. Can I ask if online video streaming from Youtube or anyother streaming sites is possible with Free Basics? Thanks!

for where. It works with only facebook(it doesn't load pictures) and other pre-selected sites that are alreading on the free basic package. Any site that is not part of the package will entail the use of data and the last time I checked, youtube wasn't there.

What is your opinion sir? Do you think it's a good enough solution - out of other possibilities - to the low internet penetration rate in Nigeria? Sorry, I'm making research

A step towards the better.

Fair enough response I'm right in the process of considering the long term prospects, whether this will this help us, or exploit us in the long run. Anyway, thank you for answering

duketunde:

Has anyone tried Facebook Free Basics since it has arrived? How was the experience? How was it?

SageTravels:

Please how was the service when you tried it? Is it worth crossing over Airtel for? Do you have any screenshots?

NevetsIbot:

Sorry to disturb you but is it worth crossing over to Airtel for? Any downside or drawbacks or side effects? How many people do you think are presently using it?

actually bro. I'm not using the airtel free basics. It's a good plan for anyone who cant handle subscriptions andd all... I won't say it's worth crossing over for but it's a great move by airtel. Having an airtel sim as back up will go a long way. Plus, airtel has great data plans. So far, it has no side effects or hitches.

Sexytemi:
That would be nice, there's already a free basic here in Benin republic and it works fine.

Note: only can be used when u have no data, if not ehn, your data would be swiped if u using it with it.

If that is the case, people shouldn't buy data then right? Or what do you think?

Sorry to disturb you but how is your research going on about Facebook Free Basics?

U would still need data to open some apps e.g whatsapp, bbm and those not on the free basic app.

Okay thank you for the clarification. I really appreciate it. Have A Good Saturday and a Great Day.

It went pretty good. I hadn't the time to publish my write-up, I guess I could do that in the future. For my thesis
Why?

@Artorius, just wanted to know.

This is a great initiative. In South Africa it was introduced last year, have been enjoying free NL since then.
