I understand where you’re coming from, Avi.

That said, I’m curious about your verification process. How exactly were users being verified?
If it was primarily based on submitted IDs without deeper validation (e.g. cross-checking authenticity or using layered KYC systems), that might explain how such large-scale abuse slipped through.
There are also data protection and identity verification standards in Nigeria (for example under guidelines) that typically require more robust verification workflows, especially when handling user data at scale.

I feel for legitimate Nigerian users who were using Kled. Hope you find alternatives soon!

For builders and founders in Nigeria, this is an opportunity to create systems designed with local context, behavior patterns + safeguards in mind from day one.

The Chinese Government Just Got the World’s Largest Digital Rights Conference Canceled https://t.co/oIINRCdPv2

[Wisdom Dabit @Wisdom_Dabit]

The RightsCon conference in Zambia was forced to cancel just days before it was set to begin following reported pressure from the Chinese government.

Some participants had already arrived when immigration officials informed them the event wouldn’t go ahead. That’s how the organizers themselves found out.

According to the organizers, civil society groups from Taiwan were scheduled to participate and Chinese diplomats pushed for their exclusion. And it didn’t stop there. The Zambian government reportedly asked for certain discussions to be restricted as well.
The organizers, @accessnow, refused. Days before the event, the government moved to shut it down with no proper consultation + no clear notice.

So a global conference on digital rights and free expression was effectively prevented from happening… over who was allowed in the room.

You really can’t make this up.

[RightsCon @rightscon]

Following our April 29 announcement, we believe it's important to be transparent about the context that led to the decision. We want to explain, where we can, why this was made on such short notice, only days before we were set to host RightsCon.

@africatechie This is so wrong! Our governments need to step up. Else, what's our independence for?

Physical mom-and-shops dominate in Africa."B2B #Ecommerce Powers Africa Retail" Via @Wisdom_Dabit. https://t.co/GIbodxmSJ9

My first real tweet 🫣🫣!

So I have been writing about Ecommerce in Africa with @PracticalEcomm. In this one, I cover the growth of B2B Ecommerce in Africa, the pros, and why it's working better than expected.

Hint: it's actually cheaper. Think of the delivery economics:

With B2C (e.g., Jumia), 1 order = 1 delivery. Low density, expensive per drop.

With B2B, you're looking at 20–50 shops on a single truck route. High density + much cheaper per unit delivered.

Platforms like MaxAB–Wasoko supply goods in bulk and extend short-term credit to retailers, who then repay after making sales. So it's not just distribution anymore, it's distribution + financing.

And once a retailer depends on you for both inventory and working capital, their loyalty increases and switching to another platform becomes less likely.

And there's also a visibility advantage. These platforms allow brands to see what's selling, where it's selling, and how fast it's moving, enabling better decisions around pricing and inventory.

More in the piece 👇🏽!
