Why Do Nigerians Always Settle For The Less In Online Business by vonnelixir: 2:34pm On Feb 09, 2019
I did a brief research and discovered that Nigerians feel inferior when it comes to online business even though they did something more better.
For example: Foreigners will charge $2000 sum as a programmer, but a Nigerian will collect just $100 (#36,000) to do the Same job.

2. Nigerians sell their good apps and games on playstore quite too cheap from others.
example: All text message app is a Nigerian made text messaging app where you get any type of text message you want and send to anyone, its a very wonderful app better than apps in its categories, but its the cheapest among the rest.

well, this article is to encourage young Nigerians not to settle for the less and always try to stand out from the rest.

thanks op for bringing this up. it is not that we are settling for less or feeling inferior. the problem is that the industry had been saturated,we have alot of developers amd programmers now and everybody want to put food on his or her table.

I have two words for you.

This is because of the currency exchange and also poor financial strength.

An American developer let's say charges $200. This is a very small amount of money and he believes it's damn cheap and affordable for many.

A Nigerian developer would not think the same way because $200 is a lot of money when converted to his local currency, so, he thinks #200 is cheap and affordable.
.


Also, Those foreign developers prepare budget to promote their apps and they make money from the effort put into marketing.

But most local developers, because of low financial resources, would only rely on free advertising to land sales.

Therefore, the little sales he makes is enough to put foods on his table

I love your point. But I think they knowingly neglect games or apps made in other countries to patronise theirs

seriously, the app and game industry is really saturated but the whites are making it better there compared to Nigerians. like the op pointed out, the app is same and even better than those of its kind. I can't really tell why Nigerians are in this shit
