I feel sorry for the employee. But Facebook draconian policy is killing businesses in Nigeria. Imagine my advert of sneakers being rejected over 14 times after meeting their policy and community guidelines. I am afraid if I try one more time they might ban my account facebook

Good Job and Good Pay can never bring one a full happiness! Honestly, this Life get as he be... It's beyond one's understanding! 😢😢😢😢
