Yes, many things dey to build but how many can generate a reasonable amount of revenue to sustain a startup in Nigeria ? Last time I checked, Nigerians don't like paying for software or any form of online service no matter how small the fee is

Nigerians dey buy udemy courses any how..

For eg..

The fine tech is the hottest for now, but things still dey to build.


I surport innovative fin techs, but e no go good if lots of people crowd the sector as usually.

It will lead to another problem..

You're under estimating yourself read on Developer Platform programs, if you build for them, you make an earning.

Nigerian games not Western games
Imagine you did a game on the Biafra civil war
Shit will sell like mad I swear


Another one is AI

AI is limited to the west mostly
Imagine if we had Siri alternative for Nigerians
It can speak every major languages of Africans

Every single word in this post makes sense.

I for one would pay to play a highly detailed game on the biafran war. For years, the dev would still be milking the concept.

Very.

And i am hoping the future dev would not skimp on quality or bombard it with rubbish google ads.

I am ready to be on the advisory board for any dev thinking in that direction

Won't fly.
Nigerian government will clamp down on it if they don't like the narrative.

Will generate sentiments amongst Easterners, South South and South West.

Just can't fly. Nigerian civil war is a very sensitive topic and any game built about it will face severe backlash.

Why build in Nigeria?

The clampdown assumption is also unfounded. There have been many films about the war. No clampdown.

Clampdown is only possible if the developers are dumb enough to portray a biased mindset.

Tell a story, allow combatants from either side to win or lose depending purely on their military scores. In a 50v50 game for example, when the first 50 has killed all in the second 50, they have won, irrespective of whether they are FGN or BFN.
