No hate because I am a Nigerian and I think this is a smart move, if you are a developer you would understand their point of view on this.
Although @avipat_ I do hope after proper things are out in place to ensure this doesn't happen again that you guys would be available in Nigeria again.
Haven't used the app before and this is my first time using it but I understand the opinion you had to make
English
I'm going to make 1 more post on this before I put it to rest because the amount of very clearly misinformed and very emotional individuals spreading misinformation is getting out of hand.
1. This is very clearly NOT a marketing stunt. We certainly don't need the exposure or the users. Even if we did, why would we ban a region from the app store and then market to that same region?
2. Kled is ONLY available on iOS, not on Android. There is a very clearly fake Android app (the logo isn't even our logo) that is impersonating us with only 5k downloads that we have reported for takedown.
3. Kled was top 100 in the Nigeria App Store several times over in a 4-month timespan, again we very clearly did not need the marketing. You can verify the legitimacy of this claim via this link which shows the app store rankings over time in Nigeria: app.sensortower.com/app-analysis/c…
4. Some very low IQ individuals think that the link above is fake. This is from Sensor Tower, which is a multi-billion dollar company that everyone uses for analytics. Again, some very misinformed individuals think that the "edit" text in the link above means that the graph is altered or fake. That is literally not how websites work. You CANNOT alter the rankings content of Sensor Tower via link, this is physically impossible. You are welcome to check any other app ranking provider on the planet and they will all verify this same data.
5. Kled does not steal people's data. We are an opt-in AI data marketplace, meaning if you want, you can download Kled on the App Store today and submit pictures, videos, or documents of any kind that are used for AI training data, and instead of getting it ripped off your device, we pay you for it. Fair compensation for your efforts is what we have been built on.
6. Kled had over 25,000 users in Nigeria alone. Across a 10 million upload sample from this region, 94.2% was fraudulent, meaning data was either AI generated, fake, altered, internet plagiarized, etc. Kled easily catches this and bans users accordingly, but this costs us resources and time, not to mention no fraud detection pipeline is perfect, meaning bad data can inevitably fall through the cracks. This bad data can severely harm the trust that AI labs have put in our business. If the fraud rate was even 50%, we as a team would have chosen to keep Kled on the Nigeria App Store, but 95% is too much.
7. Kled has only been banned in Nigeria. It is available EVERYWHERE else in Africa. This was the only region that was committing this level of fraud.
8. Anyone seeing this that isn't based in Nigeria, feel free to look at all the angry comments on this tweet and you may click their profile and very clearly see that they are based in Nigeria. Extremely emotionally charged response for a very fair business decision that has 0 racial motivation.
Respect our choices, we will be back here when the time is right.

We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region. The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support. Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform. After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale. In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size. Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand. This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw. As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right. On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand. We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right. -Kled Team

@Marc0Zane This is a huge update for us, time to buy some more tokens

Back to building! $XONA has a high rate of convicted holders holding strong despite the hold back in builds and ships for some days.
This is called believing in the tech, believing in Orbit, believing in $XONA. Convicted holders who know the worth of what they’re holding.
Recently, $XONA dropped its April recap, and that has been outstanding.Wonder what the month of May brings.
On different occasions, $XONA has been spotlighted and trending, even seen among top projects like @Arcium and @Jito_sol on the Solana daily digest with @SolanaSensei monitoring the situation.
Let’s get the party started for Q2. $XONA has even started shipping ahead of Q2 on its roadmap. What a bullish sentiment!
Still at a good price to buy at, btw ⤵️

GM from a @wagus_app believer.
Still early, still building, still watching it grow. The vision is clear, AI storefronts changing how people sell, connect, and scale online.
Not just another project, this is real utility in motion. Quiet builders always win in the long run.
Stay consistent. Stay locked in.

I just realized that X voice note doesn’t exceed 30 seconds 🥹
Imagine recording all your life struggles only to see that it stopped recording at 30 seconds.
