Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, will reduce its office space in Lagos after global layoffs in mid-2023 affected its Nigerian team. At least 35 people were affected by those layoffs, three people with knowledge of the matter said. The company’s engineering team, which had 24 employees according to a 2022 report, was laid off. https://techcabal.com/2024/06/13/meta-reduce-office-space-after-layoffs-affected-nigerian-team/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter&s=09 2 Likes

Downsizing is always allowed. So, Mark visited this office when he came to Nigeria? To an extent, e make sense working here. You’ll never physically see your CEO unless on special occasions. E fit be four days out of three years wey employee here go see Mark face-to-face. 4 Likes 1 Share |

What a pity. Next thing now will be that they are leaving the country 😭. If Guinness can leave Nigeria after 75 years because of unfavorable business climate, no company is safe again. 23 Likes |

Naturally, Nigeria has no hope tech-wise. Outside of the so-called fintech companies whose co-founders are simple money-grabbers or sexual molesters, it's hard to put a pin to anything of tangible worth happening in the Nigerian techspace. At the moment, it's all just an illusion. If it's not e-commerce, it's fintech. That's about it. Tech is much more than that. Tech is innovation. Yeah, perhaps there are pockets of innovation here and there. There's hardly anything tangible coming out of the so-called Nigerian Silicon Valley of Yaba. Obviously, this has become clear to Microsoft and to Meta, hence the scaling down. If Nigeria wants to be taken seriously, then its needs to start prioritizing real innovation that solves its own local problem. E-commerce solves no problem in Nigeria, as Jumia will readily attest. it has been a struggling company since its creation. Fintech is hardly Nigeria's problem. Maybe it is in a small measure, but on a grander scale it hardly is. There are no real capital opportunities in Nigeria. As a result, companies like Risevest and Piggyvest are having to invest OUTSIDE of Nigeria. So, how does the tech space expect to grow? Real problems like very poor doctor-to-patient ratio, wide availability of bad drugs, unavailability of drugs in remote locations, adultrated products, etc all need real tech solutions that are unfortunately not coming, are underdeveloped, or not easily accessible. 42 Likes 4 Shares |

My tech company is headquatered in my base in Michigan and I planned to open a branch in Nigeria. I'm forever grateful to my friend, Abimbola, who advised me to hold on for 1 year and watch how things go. I would've lost at a lot of money while looking to invest in my country 15 Likes 2 Shares |

They should fill the office with robots. After the robots will start asking Facebook users to prove that they are not robots. Robots now accuse humans of being robots. They locked my account and keep asking me to prove I'm not fellow robot, I'm sure that's not Human. 10 Likes |
