“Facebook Monetization is Useless!” – Nigerian Blogger Blasts Meta, Threatens N1 Billion Lawsuit
Sele Media Africa | Reported by Suzan Daniel
Nigerian Facebook blogger Honour Oriretan has stirred massive reactions online after venting his frustration over what he described as “insulting” monetization earnings from Facebook. In a strongly worded post on his official page, Oriretan revealed that after two months of hard work, generating massive views and engagements, he was paid only 136 by Meta.
In his words:
“See n0nsense m0ney Faceb00k is abt to payy me after w0rking for a whole 2-months with massive v!ewss engag£mnts..136.. N!gerians creat£ the gr£atest c0ntents the most but get pa!d the leastt, smaIIestt..This marg!nalizati0n MUST really STOP.”
Oriretan didn’t stop at ranting—he announced his intention to sue Meta (Facebook’s parent company) for N1 billion, accusing the tech giant of unfair compensation and systemic marginalization of African content creators.
“I am sueeing Markk, Metaaa for N1-biIIIIi0n for this unw!se payy,” he wrote, demanding Meta upgrade his payment from 136 to136,000 within 48 hours or face legal action.
His emotional outburst continued with unusual expressions like:
“What n0nsensicaI oes0phagus is this? An unw!se equiIibriumm brohadussdis… This is wickedIy most unw!se.”
While many of his followers sympathized with his experience, others have joined the call for greater transparency and equity in Facebook’s monetization model, especially for creators in Africa.
This isn’t the first time Nigerian creators have raised concerns about low payouts despite high engagement, sparking ongoing conversations around digital inclusion, algorithmic fairness, and regional compensation structures by global tech platforms.
