Free Basics by Facebook is part of the Internet.org initiative. Internet.org is a highly controversial partnership between social networking services company facebook and six companies (Samsung,Ericsson,MediaTek,Opera Software,Nokia and Qualcomm) that plans to bring affordable access to selected Internet services to less developed countries by increasing efficiency, and facilitating the development of new business models around the provision of Internet access. In May 2015, Facebook announced that the Free Basics Platform would be opened to websites that met its criteria. In September 2015, the app delivering these services was renamed Free Basic. They are working with mobile operators around the world to make Free Basics widely available.

These mobile operators( Airtel Nigeria included) have agreed to not charge you for the data used to browse Free Basics.
