If you are in Nigeria and your data is expensive, you cannot afford to test every app. I learned this today after trying three apps. Here are three signs I now check before I even sign up. 1. Withdrawal is PayPal only. PayPal does not receive dollars easily in Nigeria. If the app has no OPay, PalmPay, bank transfer, or crypto option, you will hit $10 and get stuck. Real Nigerian platforms show Naira from day one. 2. No real company name or address. Scroll to the bottom of the website. If you see no CAC number, no "About Us" with real people, or the Play Store shows a Gmail instead of a company email, close it. Konnect shows Lucretia Technologies Ltd. Gamee and Honey Money showed nothing. 3. Same screenshots, different name. Fake apps copy the same money bag icons, the same "watch ads, earn $1" layout. If you have seen the design before, it is a clone. Clones do not pay because they are made to collect your clicks, not to share revenue. What to do instead: Before you download, search the app name + "payment proof Nigeria" on Facebook. If you see only foreign videos, skip. Use that data to learn a skill on YouTube or post on a platform like Konnect where points are visible. Your data is capital. Protect it like money. I will keep posting what I test so we all stop wasting MB.
