I'm glad to share with you all that I aced my bar finals and bagged a First class at the Nigerian Law school.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet A.P Olusola BL (Hons) First-class, LL.B. (Hons)

WhatsApp's claim that it may be forced to exit Nigeria due to FCCPC's recent order appears to be a strategic move aimed at influencing public opinion and potentially pressuring the FCCPC to reconsider its decision.
The FCCPC investigated Meta Platforms and WhatsApp (jointly referred to as "Meta Parties") for allegedly violating the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).
The Commission found that Meta Parties engaged in multiple and repeated infringements of the FCCPA and the NDPR. These infringements included denying Nigerians the right to control their personal data, transferring and sharing Nigerian user data without authorisation, discriminating against Nigerian users compared to users in other jurisdictions and abusing their dominant market position by forcing unfair privacy policies.
The final order requires Meta Parties to take steps to comply with Nigerian law, stop exploiting Nigerian consumers, change their practices to meet Nigerian standards and respect consumer rights.
To deter future violations and ensure accountability for the alleged infringements the FCCPC also imposed a monetary penalty of $220 million.
The FCCPC's actions are based on legitimate concerns about consumer protection and data privacy and the order is a positive step towards a fairer digital market in Nigeria. Similar measures are taken in other jurisdictions without forcing companies to leave the market. The case of Nigeria will not be different.
This is long overdue. I commend the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation, @LOFagbemi, for taking this initiative to solve the hydra headed problem that so many proposed constitutional amendments could not solve because of the influence of State Governors.
In this paper, I addressed the almost unlimited right of appeal that exists to the Supreme Court of Nigeria in comparison with the limited right of appeal to the United States of America’s Federal Supreme Court. https://t.co/YdeIS5EytW
History is for those who know how to write. That is why Chinua Achebe wrote in things fall apart that “until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter”. One day, I’ll publish my story.
