Don't think dangote stands alone;you might have an idea and not have cash to execute it.To make it grow you need more cash and in return you must attract people with cash who believe in the idea.In marks case,the investors don't want to loose cash;do you think they believe in FB?no they don't;all they care about is return on investment.

But he owns 60% of the shares. Which mean those clamouring to kick him out own less than 40. How is that even possible??

I can bet that in the next 10/15yrs facebook may prolly end up becoming another netlog, yahoo, qeep and the others that have lost their dominance.


Facebook isn't going anywhere soon...
It owns whatsapp n Instagram...
And I'm sure u use the above 2 regularly even if u dont use Facebook....
Besides, Facebook has over 2 billion users in 2017 compared with 1.4 billion in 2014....
Furthermore, they are into other stuffs like artificial intelligence, internet of things and automated driving car...
They are about to establish their own version of YouTube...
10 years ago, it's revenue was 1 billion dollars. 5 years ago, it was 5 billion dollars. 2017 revenue was 50 billion dollars.....
The world is obsessed n addicted to social media- that's the driving force and the energy pushing these internet companies....
It's got nothing to do with whether someone is active on her Facebook page or not....

Obviously you are not him.
That is why he is a billionaire while
you are just some guy in a shithole country.
I don't know where all these kids come from.

You must think Facebook is like a

Did the "stranger" have "up to 30%
shares of his sweat" by stealing it?

The moment a company is listed in the stock exchange, it's no longer "your" company.

'if na me if na me' is anyone stopping you from establishing your own company?

Mark Zuckerberg

The year 2018 is most likely the most noticeably awful year of Mark Zuckerberg's life in view of progressive information leaks driving Zuckerberg to testify before Congress, now major investors are pushing to show him out from his position as Chairman of the board. As of late, treasurers of Rhode Island, Illinois, and Pennsylvania raised marked a proposition issued by Trillium Asset Management in June.

The proposition suggests that Mark Zuckerberg should be removed as the Chairman. This is a direct result of mishandling high profile scandals and absence of transparency. Mjor stakeholders will cast a ticket on the proposal in Facebook's yearly financial specialist meeting set for May 2019. The suggestion demands investors to choose an independent executive, much the same as Tesla is doing.



Official statement from the New York City Comptroller.

“Facebook plays an outsized role in our society and our economy. They have a social and financial responsibility to be transparent – that’s why we’re demanding independence and accountability in the company’s boardroom.

We need Facebook’s insular boardroom to make a serious commitment to addressing real risks – reputational, regulatory, and the risk to our democracy – that impact the company, its shareowners, and ultimately the hard-earned pensions of thousands of New York City workers. An independent board chair is essential to moving Facebook forward from this mess, and to reestablish trust with Americans and investors alike.”

This isn't the first time that such plans have been raised to upset Mark Zuckerberg's position. In April, a similar endeavor was made, but since Zuckerberg holds 60 percent casting a ballot rights. Hence, the arrangement was unsuccessful.

Notwithstanding, this time, association of investors could get it done. A few noteworthy investors like The New York City Pension Funds that claim 4.5 million Facebook shares. The Pennsylvania Treasury holds 38,737 offers, Trillium is the proprietor of 53,000 offers, are backing the proposition.

Facebook has not yet issued any official explanation with respect to the proposition.

Obviously you have the qualifications (Cert wise) but how much have you raised with your present business?

If you haven't managed a business of atleast $500M in revenue, I honestly don't think it's possible.

Apple tried that when they expelled Steve Jobs from the company entirely. However when the company came to its kneels, the same shareholders came to their kneels begging him to return. That was when he restructured the company and brought in technological innovations that have changed the world.
