Nigerian Facebook Creators Rejoice as Country Gains Eligibility for Monetization

In a landmark move for content creators in Nigeria, Facebook has announced that the country is now eligible for monetization on its platform. This development comes as a significant win for Nigerian creators, who can now earn money from their content on Facebook.

The announcement, made on June 27, 2024, has been met with excitement and celebration from Nigerian creators, who have long awaited this opportunity. Many took to social media to share their joy, with some expressing relief that their hard work can now be rewarded.

“Facebook just made Nigeria an eligible country for monetization. A win 😌🎉🎉,” tweeted @Official_Ogiis.

“Great news of today🎉🎉 You can finally monetize your Facebook page in Nigeria,” wrote @Arieslove_1.

The move by Facebook follows a visit by Meta’s President of Global Affairs, Sir Nick Clegg, to Nigeria in March. This visit likely played a role in the decision to make Nigeria eligible for monetization.

To be eligible for monetization on Facebook, creators must meet certain criteria, including having a minimum of 10,000 followers, 600,000 total minutes viewed in the last 60 days, and at least 60,000 minutes of the 600,000 total minutes must include minutes viewed from live videos.

This development is a major step forward for Nigerian creators, who have previously been unable to earn money from their content on Facebook. With the country now eligible for monetization, creators can look forward to a new source of income and the opportunity to grow their businesses.

As one creator put it, “Nigeria is finally eligible for Facebook monetization! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.”[link](#tweet=18
