Tribunal upholds FCCPC’s $220m fine against Meta

The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has upheld the $220 million fine imposed on Meta Platforms Incorporated by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC.

The Director for Corporate Affairs of FCCPC, Ondaje Ijagwu, made this announcement in a statement on Friday.

Ijagwu said that the tribunal also awarded the commission $35,000 to cover the investigation costs.

DAILY POST reports that Meta and WhatsApp appealed the fine imposed by the FCCPC after the regulator concluded that the companies engaged in discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers.
The fine arose from a 38-month joint investigation initiated by the FCCPC and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, NDPC, into the conduct, privacy practices, and consumer data policies of Meta Platforms and WhatsApp.

The statement read in part, “The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal today delivered its judgment in the appeal filed by Meta Platforms Incorporated (Facebook) and WhatsApp LLC against the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), affirming the Commission’s authority and actions in nearly all the contested issues.

“The Tribunal specifically determined that the Commission complied with prevailing laws, discharged its mandate, and exercised its powers within the confines of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). It ruled that the multiple actions by WhatsApp and Meta, for which the Commission made findings of violations, were correctly identified, and that the Commission did not err in making those findings.

“In addition to upholding the major aspects of the FCCPC’s Final Order, the Tribunal awarded the sum of $220 million against Meta Platforms Incorporated and WhatsApp LLC as an administrative penalty, and further awarded $35,000 to the FCCPC as cost of investigation.”
Recall that the FCCPC had on 19 July 2024 issued a Final Order imposing a $220 million administrative penalty after concluding that the companies engaged in discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers.

The case arose from a 38-month joint investigation initiated by the FCCPC and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, NDPC, into the conduct, privacy practices, and consumer data policies of Meta Platforms and WhatsApp.

The price cuts follow production adjustments after selling 6,406 Cybertrucks in Q1 2025, amid a broader sales slump linked to backlash against Elon Musk’s political involvement and increased competition.

DON’T MARRY JUST ANY WOMAN, MARRY A WOMAN WITH COMMON SENSE.

1. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that respect in marriage is mutual, not one-sided.

2. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that you are not an ATM machine, and providing for the family is a shared responsibility when necessary.

3. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that love is not just about what she can receive but also what she can give.

4. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that being a man does not mean you don’t have emotions and that your struggles and mental health matter too.

5. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that submission does not mean slavery, and partnership does not mean control.

6. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that when you are tired or stressed, she should also be willing to support, whether by cooking, making things easier, or simply being considerate.

7. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that intimacy is not a weapon for manipulation or punishment but an expression of love that should be mutual and consensual.

8. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that disagreements are normal but should be handled with maturity, not silent treatment, disrespect, or emotional manipulation.

9. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that your dreams and aspirations matter just as much as hers and that marriage should be a place of support, not competition.

10. Marry a woman who loves your soul, not just your status, money, or what she can gain. Marry a woman who enjoys talking to you, not just demanding from you.

May you not miss it in marriage

3 Battles Every Lady Must Win to Succeed in Relationships

There are 3 core battles every lady must conquer if she’s going to win in love. Not just any kind of love, but intentional, godly, healthy kind of love that leads to peace, not pain.

1. The Battle Against Low Self-Esteem

It starts with you. Not with a man. Not with a proposal. Not even with relationship. YOU.

The way you see yourself determines the love you think you deserve. We choose the love we think we deserve.

A lady with low self-esteem will overlook red flags just to be chosen. She’ll keep quiet when she should speak up. She’ll tolerate the bare minimum and be so grateful that it was given.

And the scary part?
She’ll think it’s her fault when things go wrong and try to fix relationships that isn't good for her.

Loving yourself means learning to receive love that matches your value, not your w0unds. It’s looking in the mirror and saying, “I am enough, with or without a man.”

And most of all, it’s knowing that being single is better than being mistreated.

2. The Battle Against Comparison

You scroll through Facebook and IG and see her. The soft life girl. The ring. The candlelight dinner. The captions: “My peace.” “The Odogwu of my life.” “The one that spoils me s!lly.”

And just like that, you feel behind. You start questioning your worth. You wonder if there’s something wrong with you.

You wonder why your own husband can't take you on vacation. You wonder why your own man doesn't pamper you like the other lady’s man.

Always remember that for every post that you see, you are not seeing the full picture of things. You only see what the person wants you to see.

Comparison is the stealer of joy. It forces you not to be content, and makes you underappreciate what you have because your eyes are on what you don't have.

Many ladies compare themselves with others. There is this hidden competition that makes you want to compare your man, possessions, marriage, and even life with others.

Even the Bible says that people who compare themselves with others are not wise. Your story and journey is different. Stop comparing.

3. The Battle Against Deception

The d£vil doesn’t come in red horns. He comes in fine suits, sweet words, and deep scriptures.

Deception is one of the biggest traps in modern dating. Many ladies fall, not because they’re weak, but because they want to believe the best. They are also driven by fantasy and this makes the lady an easy targ£t.

You meet a man who says all the right things:
“I’ve been praying for a woman like you…”
“I’m not like those other guys…”
“I’m ready for marriage…”

But talk is cheap. Character is not. Deception often hides behind charm, but if you will pay attention to character, you will be saved.

That’s why emotional intelligence and spiritual discernment are non-negotiable. You must test the spirit, not just the vibe you feel. You must question the patterns, not just the potential.

So sis, win these three battles not for a man, but for you. Because when you win within, the external will match up.

Something amazing happened in Nebraska.

A young man showed up to an auction, hoping to buy back his family's 80-acre farm that they’d lost during hard times. But with over 200 local farmers in attendance, he didn’t stand much of a chance... or so he thought.

What happened next? Nobody bid.
Not one person.
They all stayed silent — letting him buy the land back without competition.

No drama. No applause. Just quiet, powerful solidarity.

It wasn’t about profit. It was about doing the right thing.
Faith in humanity: restored.

Manchester United Get Double Suspension Boost After Dramatic Europa League Win vs Lyon

Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as key midfield duo Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro both avoided suspension in Thursday night’s dramatic victory over Lyon, according to Manchester Evening News.

United edged past the French side in a thrilling 5-4 win at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate triumph to reach the last four of the competition. Goals from Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire ensured Ruben Amorim's men kept their European dream alive — and with it, a vital chance to secure Champions League football next season.

However, the victory wasn’t just about the scoreline. Heading into the quarter-final second leg, both Ugarte and Casemiro were walking a disciplinary tightrope. Having each picked up two yellow cards earlier in the tournament, a further booking would have triggered a one-match suspension — ruling them out of the semi-final first leg.

But both players held their nerve and steered clear of the referee’s notebook during a heated and high-stakes encounter, giving United a major boost ahead of their semi-final showdown. The relief is even more palpable given UEFA rules: all accumulated yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals, meaning Ugarte and Casemiro now begin the semi-final phase with a clean slate.

This reset dramatically lowers the risk of missing the final due to a yellow card suspension, allowing Amorim more tactical flexibility as United prepare to face a high-energy Athletic Bilbao side.

United’s European run now offers a lifeline in what has otherwise been a turbulent campaign. With Premier League inconsistencies leaving their top-four hopes in doubt, winning the Europa League presents not just silverware, but a golden ticket back into the Champions League.
