Bro pls I have questions about having apps on playstore, if it's possible I will like to get in touch with you. how do I get in touch with you?

We can talk on nairaland... Sorry for the delay

How much?

Obi1kenobi:


An "empire" that was still as primitive as our "unclad bush dwellers". What kind of empire is that.
Before the colonialists came here, you couldn't read or write (even our bush dwellers had Nsibidi calligraphy). Dwelt in the same mud and thatch as our Eastern bush dwellers. You lived by the ocean but could never navigate it like our bush dwellers. You had no scientific/technological accomplishments like our bush dwellers. Basically, you were just as primitive as our naked bush dwellers. So what good was your so-called "empire"? Sure, you had some tribal chiefs slaughtering each other in endless wars and consolidating their power in expanding their territory. But what did they accomplish for posterity?

In the end, your advancement (and yes, I do believe Yorubas are the most successful tribe in Nigeria because I'm an honest person) depended on the simple fact you were the geographical gateway for the Western colonialists and had first contact with them and profited from Western education and trade through your ports. It had nothing to do with any primitive "empire" you built.

Uncle stop lying,
Historically its impossible to use the word Primitive and Yoruba in the same context.

Ok, here are a few of the unique cultural advancements of the Yoruba divided into three broad fields (Philosophy and Mythology, Literature, Art and Encryption,Science and Computing):

1 The Yoruba Pantheon and Mythology
\
The Yoruba pantheon which consist of 400 gods is the largest pantheon in the world known as the Orisha. Larger than the Greek pantheon(Zeus, Hera, Heracles...), Roman pantheon (Hercules, Jupiter,Venus...) ,Norse Pantheon(Thor, Loki,Odin), Egyptian Pantheon (Oris, Isis, Osiris,Anubis...)

Also,
The Yoruba Pantheon of Gods and Mythology is not only the largest but also arguably the most original of all the Pantheons. Because Greek and Roman Mythology are basically the same, also Egyptian and Norse mythology have very similar characters and origins. The Yoruba pantheon on the other hand is very unique and most gods in the pantheon have distinct traits, roles and characteristics.Only the Indian Mythology and pantheon can rival it.


2) Literature, Art and Encryption:


Yorubas also invented one of the most complex encrypted symbolic languages called the Aroko which was used by Elite societies within the Yoruba tribe to communicate confidential and classified state affairs. The Yoruba Aroko is usually likened to the great Egyptian Hieroglyphics by many archaeologist and ancient scholars.


Science and Computing


The Yorubas also invented a very advanced and complex divination system known as ODU IFA or opele which is very similar to Quantum computing and Hill Climbing Algorithm in Artificial Intelligence.
Ifá is practiced throughout the Americas, West Africa, and the Canary Islands, in the form of a complex religious system, and plays a critical role in the traditions of Santería, Candomblé, Palo, Umbanda, Vodou, and other Afro-American faiths, as well as in some traditional African religions.

Also, Vodoo (Black Magic) originated from the Yorubas and its a form of Metaphysics.


The Great OYO Empire


The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire of what is today Western and North central Nigeria. Established in the 15th century, the Oyo Empire grew to become one of the largest West African states. It rose through the outstanding organizational and administrative skills of the Yoruba people, wealth gained from trade and its powerful cavalry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_Empire

Unfortunately,
[/b]i dont have time to touch on several other areas like our Tradions, Beliefs of the Afterlife, Cosmology and Yoruba arts which was mistaken for remains of [b]Atlantis. Here is a short article about it on CNN
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/06/21/kingdom.ife.sculptures/index.html


Also,
I believe no culture / tribe in Nigeria is superior to another we are all unique and special in our own different ways. Hence trying to bash another person's cultural heritage is a sign of internalized inferiority complex. Stop it!!

Btw,
Here is a short and interesting Animation done by Crash Course studios in America on a Yoruba Pantheon and Mythology



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2se_zimj40

Obi1kenobi:


That is exactly the point I made but you have a comprehension problem. The word "agbada" is a Yoruba word. It doesn't mean it was invented by Yorubas. They simply slightly (very slightly) modified a cotton kaftan attire that tribes throughout West/Sahelian Africa have been rocking for several generations before it ever got to Yoruba land through Hausa and Fulani merchants that were already wearing the babariga which the so-called "agbada" copied from.
So trying to use the agbada as some evidence of your unique civilization is nonsensical. The Arabs brought it to Africa and it was copied by the Maghrebis/Berbers from whom tribes in Sahelian Africa like the Malian and Songhai empires brought it to sub-saharan Africa, from where the Hausas/Fulanis copied it and then the Yorubas copied it from Hausa-Fulanis. Different tribes simply applied their own artistic variations on the kaftan and you're here chest-beating about nothing.
We had no early version of the kaftan because South Eastern tribes had little historical contact with Northerners/Muslims. The cotton material is also not native or conducive to be cultivated in the equatorial and humid tropics of the Eastern region.

Again, continue deluding yourself with supremacist bullshiit.

Uncle,
First of all 70% of Yorubas are of Middle eastern /North African origin(proven genetically). What we now call the Agbada or BabanRiga is just a desert/arid clothing designed to help conserve body fluid and prevent dehydration in arid / desert regions. Gradually over time the clothing evolved to be more stylish and royal.

Hence,
Every single tribe of middle eastern origins have their own variation / style of the "Agbada".It is a shared heritage of tribes and cultures that originated from that region.

Basically,
its historically impossible to alienate the Yoruba's from the Agbada neither can one dispute the originality/nativity of the Gele(Head gear), Buba(Top) and Iro(wrapper) worn by Yoruba women.

Also,
All Nigerian cultural attires are beautiful and unique in their own way. No cultural attire of any Nigerian tribe is superior to another. #One Nigeria!!

Btw,
Here are some variations of the Agbada from different cultures around the world that share a common Middle eastern and North African origin.


1 -> ARABS
2 -> Touareg
3 -> Sudaneese
4 -> Yoruba

ONE NIGERIA!!

Daejoyoung:

l think we should even give her a Nigerian name, she should be called Obianuju henceforth or Funke.

totally right! am sure she won't mind having both names plus an extra Hausa name let's add Hauwa to the list too!!

Lionessza:


This is the biggest insult I have ever received in my life .

"Biggest I have ever received in my life" Am sure you were not expecting the GIANT OF AFRICA to be packing any less .

What part of it was an insult?, oh you don't like that look? here try this one

Lionessza:





Guy, everything in Nigeria is best in Africa . Your "leaders " are good. The best universities in the continent " , the " best roads in Africa ' , the most industrious men in Africa , the most litterate in Africa .. Dude, I could go on forever lol.

Na wa o!. Aunty Lionessza its 2018 and you still haven't lost an iota of that burning zeal and passion you have for Nigeria. You see in elementary science its strongly believed that...energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Am not sure if you genuinely hate or love Nigeria but one thing we can both agree on is that you are pretty passionate and energetic about "Nigeria" and since energy can't be destroyed but can be converted, maybe you should channel some of that energy into becoming a NIGERIAN. Believe me our borders are so porous that you would stroll in and nobody would notice...yes its that easy.

I honestly don't know what you look like but am pretty sure a Gele would look nice on your head. Picture this!(see the photo below). Yes that could be Lionessza in all her glory. 2018 is your Nigerian year. Don't jonz it or should i say don't jozi it

GrandMufti:


I hope you know that you can flash / lock his phone remotely if he grants you access?

I won't do that na.. what will i gain by doing that!

jboixxx:

better go buy infinix or Gionee. The security feature(s) of Xiaomi is next to iPhone, mildly speaking.

I go hack am, i dey install Apple's Mac os on Windows laptops that's the height of hard!
https://www.hackintosh.zone/

Getting the bootloader unlocked is just a matter of uncasing the phone and getting it to EDl mode.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu5f6vbVpu8

But its time consuming! and its just easier to use the unlock tool. There is no secure device in this world

fibonacci2526:



Wait, is this a joke? Just a name and password?

IS there any classified information on an Mi Account?

fibonacci2526:



LMAO.

whats funny?, its just a username and password.

Ebubemg:
you will have to wait for the given date before you will be able to unlock the bootloader

You can't rent yours to me ?

Ebubemg:

Hello Sir,
Please sir i need your assistance. I just bought a Redmi 5plus and i need to unlock the Bootloader.

I have tried everything but none of them worked.

Firstly,
I requested for unlock status from Xiaomi using the XiaomiFlash unlock tool.I was granted unlock access but i was asked to wait for 360 hours (15 days) before i can unlock the phone.

Also,
I turned on developer status, enabled oem unlocking and tried to use Adb to unlock the device using the command "Fastboot oem unlock"
but again i got an error and there is no way to boot into EDl mode on Miui9 so i can't unlock manually.

Please sir,
i beg you in the name of your Ex girl friend . please kindly, if you have unlock status give me access so that i can use it to unlock my Redmi 5plus.. honestly i don't mind renting your account for N1k for 1 hour

i really need to unlock it so that i can flash Twrp and supersu on it in order to get root acccess and install Lineage os. am not a big fan of MIUI 9

Thanks you sir, God will bless you and increase you in Jesus name. Also all your desires and aspirations for this year will be answered speedily by God

Thanks again

sharpwriter:


Bros... how have you been? Please, don't forget tomorrow o. I have been waiting eagerly Please, let me know on how to get the needed info to you. Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry bro,
Been very busy. Would get back to you as soon as i can. Thanks

sharpwriter:

Bros, how've you been? Those developers no get joy o. I've sent to 7 of them, no response. I even traced two to face book and messaged them. one accepted my friend request, but ignored messages. Why people dey do like that na . Shey dem no want make I eat mobile app honey abi. Maybe I should have been earning now, at least get something to celebrate Christmas for all my troubles, dem no show face. I tire o.

\

Ok,
Be patient with me till the 11th of this month.I'll publish it for you. pele

sharpwriter:


Sir, concerning this warning, do you mean they may get my source code, and run away with it without publishing mine or they may publish for me, as well as themselves, making the app appear in two places?

.
No, they will just publish for you and also publish for themselves.

sharpwriter:


Also sir, the reskin and launch service by the developers is terrible. It is not easy going through this without help or great cash. The flash light App reskin and launch service is $249 (N82,000 or more). This can buy many apps. I also saw a game I am interested in buying, which is $149, the reskin and launch is $2,749, very outrageous. My Bros, it seems you will help me handle and launch the first two or three apps I wanna buy personally o. Biko, when you are less busy. I also asked this favor because my younger bro is already making jest of me, say I too dey jump for wetin I no know . Help a brother sir, it is a huge task not for a novice. Thanks in anticipation sir.

Ok,
I have a lot of apps on the Play store. most of these apps are overdue for updates.If you can wait till Christmas/New year time i would def have some spare time on my hands. However if you can't wait you can easily employ the help of indie Nigerian android developers on the playstore!. Am sure they even won't charge you more than N5,000 -10,000 per app publishing.

Here are three Nigerian developers i found on the play store that might help. You should head over to their page, pick their email and shoot them a mail.

1 ZaidHbb ( I think he his from the north he also has a lot of Hausa apps on the play store):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev492494.app698257

2. Wisdom gallery :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev454490.app534863

3. Aikotech:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev453956.app442217


Alternatively, you can just go to the play store and search "Nigeria 2017" you would see many apps that were made by Nigerian developers. You can contact any of them and ask for their assistance.

Warning!:
Some of these developers will take advantage of you and also publish some of the apps you bought on their own account!. But in life there is a price to pay for everything!. So its worth the risk!....you dig?

Btw,
Don't mind your brother. If people don't mock you God can't make you.

sharpwriter:

And please sir, in telling developers to help us publish the app, hope it does not pose any risk of theft to our google play store account and password. And hope they know it will be earning by free app and advertisement

You can always change your password! after the publishing. Infact initially you should use a generic usename and password like adminapp101. then after the apps are published you change them to your secret password!.

sharpwriter:

Chai....I don die ooo....where I wan see laptop with those specs na...
ma town na 2gb RAM na... chimooo.... anyways, how do I contact the developers.... cant find their contacts really or maybe I don't know where it's cited

Go to the page! where you bought the app on chupamobile. you would see the developer email there

sharpwriter:


Thanks a million Bros for taking your time to lead me through. I really appreciate you. God bless you beyond your expectations. I have finished the steps, and I am through with the registration now. All complete. Na next step I dey wait for Thanks once again.

Congratulations!:
Now you need to download Android studio

How to download and install Android Studio:

Requirements

- You need a minimum Intel core i3 5th generation laptop with at least 6gb of ram and no less than 30gb of free space running Microsoft windows or Linux (If you have a Macbook that's ok too)

Download
Once you have all these things in place. You should go to the link below and download Android studio.
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html


Downloading Java JDk
Android studio needs Java JDK to run so you have to download the Java Jdk from the link below:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html

After Downloading the Java Jdk install it before you start the installation of Android studio


once you have successfully downloaded android studio then you should go ahead and install it. When the installation is complete its going to start downloading some stuff from the internet. This would definitely take a while just be patient!. When the Android Sdk and co are finished downloading then you would have successfully completed step 2.

Lemme know when you have completed this step so that i can walk you through importing the project, generating a keystore and then publishing the app on the Google Play store!.

Alternatively,
i would suggest that for your 1st and 2nd app you should pay the developer to help you publish the app on the play Store so that you can start making money right off the bat. Then for subsequent apps you can learn how to publish them by your self!. Its always better to start easy and then walk your way up into more difficult terrain.


But if you insist,
Am always here to help.

sharpwriter:


Bros, pls no forget your boy on this tin o ... it is about what I wrote below.

Hi Bros, thank you so much for your many helps. I bought the flashlight app. Now I am stuck on how to publish it. Seems they talk about reskining or editing or so. Though the documentation is their, explanatory though but my head never settle well. Please, how did yu get about yurs as a starter? I just need ideas. Abeg no forsake your boy here o. I have decided to get through with this, and I am gonna forge ahead by fire by thunder. Please, help more. I am not considering paying any developer for this though. Thanks.

This is what's written in the document in the app package (it is a zip folder)


Best Flashlight HD + Strobe with Admob ads
DOCUMENTATION

This is a flashligh app that doesn't require any editing in the code(no programming knowledge required to edit).
To import the project to eclipse , go to
1-) File > New > Project > Android > Android application from existing code , select Flashlight
2-) Do the same for AndroidWheel-master & google-play-services_lib
3-) Right Click on Flashlight project inside eclipse > properties > Android (on the left sidebar) > Library > Add
and add AndroidWheel-master & google-play-services_lib
==> Import completed !

For editing do the following :
________________________________________________

1) Change Admob ids :
Go to res > values > strings.xml & change adbanner , admobid to your own ids.

2) Change app buttons,logos,icon, and background:
Go to res > drawable > then replace you PNG images with the current ones.
For the icon : go to drawable-hdpi , drawable-mdpi, and the other 2 folder with similar names.... and change the icon with yours

3) Change 'about' info in app dialog:
Go to strings.xml > and change the string named text

4) Change Website for 'our site' button
Go to src > ...> flashlight > StrobeLightConfig.java , and scroll to line 186. Replace "www.jouniapps." with your website.
e.g "www.yourwebsite.com" (including the quotations)

**NOTE** An app on playstore currently has the same app layout but different colors.It is recommended and will be better if you change the buttons and app background to avoid having problems with other developers.Chupamobile offers reskinng services so that you can get new layout for some extra money

Oya, lets start!.

First of all.....go down low

Seriously,

First of all you need to get a Google Play store account and become a registered Google developer.

So i will carefully outline steps to become a certified Android developer:

Step 1:
[/b]You need to register a new gmail account. You will need this account to create a Google Play Developer Console account

[b]Step 2:


You need to have a minimum of $25 or its naira equivalent


Step 3:

You need to have a valid Debit card from any of the top Nigerian banks (GTB always works for international transactions)

Step 4:
[/b]When you have successfully created the Gmail account. visit this website:
https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/


[b]Step 5:

Scroll down in the website and click the blue "Continue to Payment" button

Step 6:

Enter the required payment details

Step 7:

After the payment has been validated fill out the remaining required information like your phone number, The name of your developer comany. e.t.c

Step 8:

The payment takes about 48 hours to process. Congratulations! you are now an Android developer.



I would work you through skinning the app and signing the app with a release keystore key when you have successfully created your playstore account!.

Congratulations again!

sharpwriter:


Okay, thanks sir ...one more question. I read about something: When you finally published your apps, are they all enlisted under free app or you priced them. If you priced them, how can we set price right that will not be too costly or too cheap. Thanks.

Hello,
There are 3 ways you can monetize an app:

1. Freemium model:
[/b]Make the app free to download but include Google Admob ads in it. The more people download your app the more your ad money goes up.This is by far the best monetisation strategy as your admob money keeps increasing over time.So in the long run you can make Thousands or even hundreds thousands of dollar annually form one app. For instance some apps that were published 3 years ago are still today generating huge revenues for the developers that made them. Its a smart way to make money work for you!

Example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musicstreaming.freemusic

[b]2.In-app purchases:

This model is a hybrid model between paid and free apps.It is popularly used in Games like Candy crush, Clash of Clans. The app is free to download but it requires the users to make purchases. For instance a game with In-app purchases might require its users to purchase coins so that they can use the coins to purchase upgrades in the game to level up their character.

You can also use this model with freemium model apps. For instance you can ask your users to purchases a $2.00 upgrade that prevents your apps from showing admob advertisment.
Here are some Games with In-app purchases system:

1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.king.candycrushsaga
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans
3. https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=6054197513203380012


3.Paid apps:

This model requires your users to pay a certain amount before they can even download your app. this model looks very lucrative as you can charge every user before they even download your apps.

So for instance if you have 10,000 downloads and your charge $2.000 per downloads that means you have made $20,000 from app downloads alone. However this model is not advisable and quite unpopular because most users would rather test the app first before paying for it. The same way you would have a phone tested first before you make payment for it at Slot.

Also,
Another downside to this model is piracy!. So if the app is very popular one of your users can pay, download the app and then share the apk for free on the internet where people can just download the app to their devices for free.

Examples include :
Hitman Sniper:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenixmontreal.hitmansniperandroid (It cost $1 to purchase it on the Play store)

Now here is a link the .apk of the game that has been pirated on the internet:
http://rexdl.com/android/hitman-sniper-apk-mod-data-download.html/

You can just download the apk to your phone, install it and start playing the game. You don't even need to pay the $1 fee. Hence the Paid app model is usually not advisable!.

Those are the 3 mediums of monetisation on the Google Play store! feel free to use any of them in your respective apps

sharpwriter:


Hi Bros, thank you so much for your many helps. I bought the flashlight app. Now I am stuck on how to publish it. Seems they talk about reskining or editing or so. Though the documentation is their, explanatory though but my head never settle well. Please, how did yu get about yurs as a starter? I just need ideas. Abeg no forsake your boy here o. I have decided to get through with this, and I am gonna forge ahead by fire by thunder. Please, help more. I am not considering paying any developer for this though. Thanks.

Hey bro, In the middle of something important right now. Will give you very detailed instruction tomorrow morning.



Congratulations!

sharpwriter:


Oh thanks. Good then to know that you are available. How much can one make per week starting with that one app. (estimation). I asked this because, there are many businesses staring people in the face, especially me, and my savings is about to drain. And hope no be those $100 threshold pay wey yu must reach before dem release ya cash. So, make person no go rush with mistake enter wetin wey no go convert quickly. Thanks.

Yup,
You have to reach the $100 threshold before your money can get payed into your Account!.Also it's not MMM you can't make an app today and get $1million in you bank tommorrow. Let me explain how it works

1. You make / buy the app
2. You include admob ads in the app
3. You publish it on the Google Play store
4. You start getting downloads

Now,
If you get 1,000,000 downloads (usually takes about 5 months if the app is great). You would be earning around $300 - $700 per day if its an app people use multiple times in a day.

If you are very fortunate and you get 10 million downloads then that's between $3,000 - $7,000 per day.

However,
Your chances of having one app get get 10 million downloads is about 4%. Even just common 1 million downloads can be a problem. Most apps on the Play Store are stuck between just 5,000 - 10,000 downloads (you earn like $10 per day).

The winning formula is to have as many apps on the Play store as possible. For instance 96% of apps on the play store make around $10 per day. So lets assume you have 50 average apps thats:

1 app earns $10

50 apps earns = $10 x 50 = $500 per day .

That is the winning formula!. Again this is not MMM!. If you have other business you want to invest in please go ahead.But if you are willing to learn, be patient and invest in apps. My brother you will not be disappointed. You will be doing like N800k per day, You problem will now be how to keep a low profile so that you don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Trust me!, its a gold mine!. But like most things in Life it reqiures patience, investments and leaning.

Fingerprinter:

I know there is money in this country especially if you are earning in dollars. I know because I currently freelance on fiverr as a writer. I know how much I make in a month but I seriously want to polish my programming skills.
I can see you are a good programmer. How can you help me polish my programming skills again.
I was programming with php (not oophp), procedural in the past but I had a challenge that set me back and I had to abandon everything programming for more than 2 years. Now, I want to go back to programming. I'm already brushing up my php skills. Would you advise me to continue with php or learn another language?

Great!,
am glad you are making a comeback into the world of programming. honestly i think you should just learn

Kotlin (For Android Development)
https://kotlinlang.org/

Swift(for Ios development):
https://developer.apple.com/swift/

Also since you are a php guru you should take a look at Laravel
https://laravel.com/

If you can master any of these 3 languages you should be good to go....also Artificial intelligence is booming!. Also i would like to work on my English. As you can see my "punctuation" is very terrible . Am guessing we can both help ourselves here

generationz:


I also am not a certificate freak, however I think you should try to finish what you started, especially in a country like Nigeria. Just take it as a another feather on your cap.


I asked you a question earlier. if I want to learn programming for Android , where can I learn it without prior knowledge of anything about programming before?

You sound like my mum. Thanks for the concern. However i believe that "He who has not found what he can die for is not fit to live". Honestly am not doing this for myself alone. In the future i want my life to be a source of inspiration to younger generations of Nigerian. I want them to know that they can take risks pursue their dreams and become successful without bowing to societal pressure and beliefs e.g (You cant become successful unless you get a certificate e.t.c)

Anyways,
If you want to get started with learning programming you can take this simple interactive course at:

Thanks again for the concern

Fingerprinter:


You made a valid point bro, especially when you said that people should earn foreign exchange from naija.
I'm just curious, do you work for a company or you are a full-time freelancer?

Freelancer, full-time freelancer.

Honestly,
there is a lot of money to be made in Nigeria!, you don't have to set foot outside this country to be successful.

This guys for Instance make close to $1 million every month here in Abuja. They are both under 30 years of age

Lol...abeg how are we to divide that $100 budget after buying the $19 flashlight tin.The rest $81 nkoh? How we go spend am on top this tin? Then how much average can a person with a single app make for a start? You fit drop yur whatsaap number o bros, I no mind. Please

- You'll pay $25 for Google Play Store Account Registration

- You'll use the remain $50+ to get a domiciliary account at any Nigerian Bank (usually its a $100 for registration but some banks collect $50)

Am sorry,
I won't be dropping my number or replying emails......however if there is anything assistance you need you can ask on this thread or create another thread and i'll be more than willing to help. The reason is so that other people who desire to start making money from the Play store can learn from the questions and solutions provided.



Stay Blessed!

Why did you drop out of school

Because i wanted to! and i really did not see the usefulness of a certificate!
