“8 Cents for 432k Views” – Lady Laments Over What She Got from Facebook Monetization Shares Screenshots.

A young lady whose full identity has not been made public has shown the world exactly how much Facebook paid her for a post that got over 432,000 views. Her reaction? Pure disappointment.

She shared a screenshot of her Facebook professional dashboard, and the numbers tell an interesting story. The post in question pulled in 432,855 views and 111,701 engagements. That means people not only saw the content but also liked, commented, or shared it in large numbers. So what was her estimated earnings from all that activity?

Just 0.08 cents.

Yes, you read that right. Eight cents.

She wrote on Facebook:

“Lovelies please permit me to save this here….anytime you see me and Uncle Mark fighting on the road, make nobody separate us ooo. Because I no get joy, make Una see wetin he give me with beautiful expensive looks, (8cent for 432.8k view haba).”

She was clearly not happy. And many people who saw her post understood exactly where she was coming from.

It turns out this lady is not alone in her frustration. Facebook recently rolled out its monetization program for creators in Nigeria and other African countries. At first, many were excited. Finally, a chance to earn from content right on the platform where they already had followers.

But the excitement has quickly turned into disappointment. Several creators have reported earning very tiny amounts that do not match the effort they put in or the engagement their posts receive. Some have even started moving away from Facebook to focus on other platforms like TikTok and YouTube, where they believe the payment systems work better for African creators.

One commentator online said, “You will post something that blows up, and Facebook will give you money that cannot even buy pure water. It is a joke.”

Another person wrote, “The monetization program for Nigerians is a scam. Plain and simple.”

The lady’s post has generated plenty of conversations across social media. Many comments are funny, but underneath the laughter, there is real frustration. Some are calling on Facebook to explain how it calculates payments for creators in Africa. Others are simply advising people to stop wasting their time and focus on platforms that pay better.

A few commentators also pointed out that this is not the first time Facebook has been accused of paying African creators far less than their counterparts in Europe or America. They argue that until something changes, creators should manage their expectations.

For now, the lady’s post remains online, and people continue to share their own stories of low pay from Facebook. Whether the company will respond or adjust its payment structure is anyone’s guess. Many Nigerian creators are tired of putting in the work and getting back crumbs.

As one person humorously put it, “Uncle Mark should be ready to explain himself oo.”
