TechCabal is Africa's largest online technology publication/blog focused on promoting conversations around technology, mobile & internet in Africa. Founded in 2013, TechCabal is owned, created, operated and situated in Lagos, Nigeria and is edited by Bankole Oluwafemi. Most of it's visits comes from Nigeria, Ghana, India, United States and United Kingdom.

According to Akexa Global Website Ranking AGWR, TechCabal is ranked 8,587 in the world and 48 in Nigeria with 519 linked in sites aka back-links . The domain alone is valued €93,648.00 according to freevaluator. that's about N19m. TechCabal is serving lots if ads on its blog including ads from third party ad agencies (ex. Google AdSense/AdWords). TechCabal has a Google (page rank value of 2 from 10 possible points) and its among the Alexa top 10000 most visited sites in the world and among the top 50 visited sites in Nigeria. this is very clear that the blog has a very nice SEO set-ups and generates loads of income every month. Isn't this a great achievement?

But yet, they don't have a ccTLD to protect the name of their great company (i.e techcabal.com.ng) they registered only a TLD (techcabal.com whereas they are based in Nigeria) of which any scammer can use this great opportunity to defraud people with a ccTLD claiming to be a representative from the company. its common here in Nigeria and every one knows about it. That's why most top companies like Nairaland, Jumia, GTBank, Konga, LIB, NaijaLoaded etc did all their best to get ride off cheap scammers. Though I've registered the domain and its left for them to request for the details.. my email is omalejos@gmail.com

Here's what new...
Its practical... Lets assume you're the one that registered this ccTLD (techcabal.com.ng), though it look like the official TLD and anyone who sees it online will always think its normal. Here's the question. Assuming you registered this ccTLD, what are you actually gonna do with it?

sell it to the legal person? how much?
point it to a small blog since everybody knows about the domain? its really gonna gain you traffic
or do another strange thing with the ccTLD?

clear trademark issue....

That's a clear oversight from their end and they'll pay for it. Sell to them at least 5 figures and as much as 6
