Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by nejifresh(m): 5:33pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Hi guys, I thought i should just announce the launch of my new app Nairachat. I created this app as a simple way for Nigerians to meet other Nigerians wherever they are. Nairachat has all the cool chat features you find on Whatsapp as well as Video Call like Skype. The coolest thing is that you can do a video conference with over 100 people on the app. It uses your location to show you people around you, and you can search based on Tribe, Religion, State of origin etc. P.S: I am creating a paid ad on Nairaland this weekend so MODs pls dont ban me. 1 Like

Nice innovation, but the problem with naija products or services is that they like affiliating with already sucessful products,facebook was succesful a nigerian made a social network called facekobo, @OP the brand Nairaland inspired u to use the name Nairachat right?? guess what by doing so u are only gonna promote d brand called Nairaland the more, imagine if someone that does not know u created that app suggests it to his friend..this will be their conversation: Boy1: Oboy check out this new app, make ah send am give u.. Boy2: The app good oh, na Nairaland people do am shey? Boy1: (is ignorant of the real founder) E be like oh. Boy2: This Nairaland people sabi something ohh. guess what, u have just help promoted nairaland ones again.. This thing called brand awareness is very important company's pay more than $120,000 just to promote their brand.. Try and change the name of your app and do a relaunch if u can please, If u call ur app Nairachat people will think it is actually related to bankers,accountants social network, dem no go join.. The name WhatsApp was Gotten from Whats Up (Cool right) .. Give ur app a name that sounds fun.. U said the app does video calls right ? Why not call it Live(u can communicate live with video call) or Relate(u can interact with people) or any other name that potrays waht it does 5 Likes |

I created a Nairachat a long time ago just for the fun of it. It was a webchat platform that people can login to by using their NAIRALAND username and password. Seun was very mad at me, and I ended up deleting the konkobility stuff. I am fine with this stuff, but the brand name is my only problem. 2 Likes |

dhtml18:Lols, Where did u get the Nairaland Login API from |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 7:53am On Jun 24, 2016 |
teampregar:Ehm, ehm, anwering that question will get me banned permanently. Just let the past be past, I dont want any wahala again, especially as I have my own platform to promote. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by nejifresh(m): 8:48am On Jun 24, 2016 |
teampregar: Very sound advice though. I appreciate. I'll consider it. The basic premise of this app is to meet Nigerians wherever you are. Nairachat sounded more like it. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by teampregar(m): 8:52am On Jun 24, 2016 |
nejifresh:Then u could have named it naijachat instead of naira chat, because when they hear naija any where they are in the world they will know that they can use the app to communicate with their fellow Nigerians.. Nd also , u mean ur target market are only Nigerians?? No support for other countries . Anyways i wish u the best, its time for African products to be respected by the world 1 Like |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 10:08am On Jun 24, 2016 |
^^^Exactly, naijachat is a better name, instead of using Nairaland brand. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 10:34am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Err, nothing really wrong with nairachat as such, just that it sounds rather like nairaland. Do your marketing well, and there ought to be no issues. 1 Like |

teampregar:Interesting. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by jidez007: 3:09pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
teampregar:it's actually quite simple, just inspect nairaland login form. You will see it is posting to link, just simulate it like below. Send a post request to https://www.nairaland.com/do_login with your username & password and make sure you include Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded in the header. You will receive an error message if the login is invalid or the homepage if successful. 3 Likes |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 3:42pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
^^^Nay, not so simple. If you send a post url and it is successful, assuming you can send remotely. How will you make use of that in your app? In short, how will you write a php script to validate if a nairaland username and password is correct - that is the real question. If you wish to answer this question - write a working code first (if you can). |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by FincoApps(m): 4:21pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
dhtml18: The way I'll do it is Check if the response contains the string "Wrong user name", then I'll know it is invalid or Check if it contains "Logout" link, and I'll know it logged in, Or even check of the response contains the username the user used, then you will know it is logged in |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by jidez007: 4:52pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
^^ right ^^^^ it is that simple, you don't even need to handle cookies since you are just validating. I don't have to start writing the program. I'm used to writing bots and Web crawlers already. NB: Handling cookie is just to keep the user logged in, which is done automatically by a web browser. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 5:01pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
FincoApps:All these big talks you guys are sayingg, you have better code it and let us see it in action. You mean, you will use http post to submit a post request to nairaland, and it will return the result to your php script? Hia, hia hia hia. . .you guys no go kill me for this place. My own advise is this - it is not a code battle, you guys should try what you say and let us know if it works (i doubt it). |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by jidez007: 5:21pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
Yes. There is no need to start coding it sef. Just install Postman chrome plugin and test with it. You can chat with 1 of my bots on Facebook www.facebook.com/sbot07 It has the ability to crawl nairaland and send you the front page topics and the content of each. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 5:44pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
^^^You are diverting attention elsewhere. Anyone can crawl a website, but to do what you propose is what I am interested in, to see how you plan to authenticate nairaland via a simple php script. |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by sleepingdemon: 6:28pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
dhtml18:im guessing he used curl and used status code to verify if it was a succesful login |
Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by Nobody: 6:35pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
sleepingdemon:O yeah, oya bring on the code now? Too much talks on this technical matter, just write a simple code - you dont need mouth to say it. You know me i use to say - talk is cheap. |

Re: Meet Nairachat - Nigeria's New Phenomenon by teampregar(m): 8:13pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
