*My Honest Experience with Konnect Africa* I joined Konnect Africa with the hope of earning by engaging on their platform. I followed their instructions and put in consistent effort—liking posts, commenting, and building up my balance. Their dashboard clearly stated that once I reached 5, I could withdraw. I reached7 and placed a withdrawal request, but after over 48 hours, I received no payment. Instead, I was told I wouldn't receive the money and that part of it would be deducted due to "issues" with their system. This is unfair and feels deceptive. I invested my time and energy into something that ended up wasting both. I’m sharing this to warn others: *be cautious and don’t invest your time in platforms that are not transparent or consistent.* If Konnect Africa is truly legit, they should honor what they display on their dashboard and respect users’ efforts.

5 hrs agoNigeria is full of dreamers. Every day, someone is building “the next big thing.” Tech bros, fashion brands, food delivery apps — the hustle is alive.
But here’s the bitter truth: most Nigerian startups don’t survive past year three.
Why?
Too many founders start with vibes, not structure. They skip market research and build what they assume people need — not what people are truly begging for. It’s emotion over data. Branding over product.
And then there’s the obsession with raising funds. Everybody wants to be the next Flutterwave or Paystack — chasing investor money without first figuring out how to make real money. They inflate their valuation, neglect their revenue, and crash once the cash dries up.
Most startups are built on fragile foundations: no proper accounting, no legal protection, no customer service strategy. Just one-man armies running on burnout and ego.
Let’s not even talk about the economy — unstable policies, fuel prices, and forex wahala can ruin your whole business model overnight.
But the real problem ?
Ego.
Nigerian founders don’t like feedback. They take criticism personal. They protect their ego more than their product. And in doing so, they miss out on growth — until it’s too late.
The result? Another startup closes shop. Another Instagram page goes silent. Another dream dies.
Startups don’t die because of lack of ideas.
They die because of poor execution.
If you’re building something in Nigeria, you must be twice as smart, twice as patient, and ten times more resilient. The hype won’t save you. Only structure will.
