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.

Nigerians need to make this video go viral and push it everywhere. The raw passion in his voice, the anger, the hunger, the desperation feels like a nation speaking through one man. I’ve rarely seen any content creator confront Tinubu this directly, without fear or soft language.
@Ojemiredaniel@DrJoeAbah@OlayinkaLere This has been the situation on 1st Avenue and By Works and Housing Road in Gwarinpa, Abuja. Since the beginning of 2025.
If we don’t know something, we MUST not comment.
@DOlusegun Ok so he says, for Vulcanizer, We WILL develop a Sticker!!
Q: WHY is that Sticker not available from tomorrow and NPC Enumerators are going about giving to Vulcanizers?

Dear @Oliveemodi
I just watched your take on the trial and conviction of international terrorist Nnamdi Kanu which I find very curious
- First of all you were against the fact the terrorist was sent back to Nigeria to stand trial for the mass slaughtering of innocent Nigerians and military/police officers by his IPOB terrorist group
Just to let you know terrorist Nnamdi Kanu isn’t the first Nigerian criminal that has been brought back home to face trial
In fact under President Buhari in December 2020 Abdulrasheed Maina was arrested in Niger Republic and brought back to Nigeria to face trial and he is currently serving his term in jail, not a single Northerner protested his return to Nigeria
I challenge you to show me your post back then where you called his own illegal rendition and condemned the government
Don’t forget he was not a terrorist but rather he was charged for corruption
There was also the case of Umaru Dikko in July of 1984 whose return to Nigeria was not successful following the intervention of the UK secret police
So terrorist Nnamdi Kanu isn’t the first and might not be the last
- You also made excuses why he jumped bail claiming he was being attacked and family members were killed
Olive, I challenge you to list members of the terrorist’s family that were killed and by who?
- Another point you made in your defense of the terrorist is that he never killed anyone while those who killed (I guess you mean terrorists from Northern Nigeria are negotiated with)
This is a lie from the pit of hell the Nigeria toxic and biased Lagos/Ibadan media axis have promoted for the past 8 years
Have you heard of Tukur Mamu, Mahmud Muhammad, Mahmud al Nigeri and countless others facing trial or convicted for terrorism?
You must have also heard the case of the Okah brothers
Why do you think your own terrorist should be set free despite the heinous crimes he committed
The IPOB terrorists were slaughtering innocent Nigerians and eating their flesh
As a “journalist” you must try to moderate your sentiments
I also find the contributions of @iamjoehanson and @Judith_Atibi extremely intriguing
We will never make progress as a country if we continue to look at issues from primordial and ethnic/religious lens, professionalism demands that we must look at these stuffs dispassionately
IPOB is a terrorist organization and Nnamdi Kanu is an international terrorist, PERIOD
Frame 2, shows the camp where IPOB terrorists prepare human flesh for their meals, c’mon na
@ishakaa@Oliveemodi While one might say don’t mind these Bl0ckHe@ds, we thank you so much for always schooling them.
This one making Noise probably doesn’t know the story of Umaru Dikko in 1984 and she won’t go and read.
Do you see any of these our analysts play back Anything from their Archives?
@Mimi_yakigar When our superstar’s sister ran into a Dangote Truck what did we do?
We blamed Dangote for owning too many trucks and turned the situation on it’s head.
All the RATELs following their LORD joined to cancel the owner of Trucks.
I am happy this particular Truck is Not DANGCEM fleet
