Cause of death: the autopsy

Meta bills Nigeria only in dollars, but local providers already bill in naira (Siteti from ₦46,400 a month, KudiSMS ₦20,000, Yournotify) through Paystack and Flutterwave. Collecting naira needs a Nigerian company and owner identity checks, becoming a Meta Tech Provider needs verification and app review, and Meta would still charge us in dollars. Scored 8/25.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The owner sets up a Nigerian entity for another reason and the naira providers prove unreliable.
