Greennews.ng from a conversation with the founder

Recently a friend of mine offered to provide services to this company by developing a better website and mobile app with awesome features for a product like theirs. Below was what the Founder claimed:

Over 200,000 page visitors daily
100,000 dollars to gain 200,000 subscribers on their BBM CHANNEL
Claimed to own the largest BBM channel in Africa
Said ALEXA rankings were not relevant, claimed that they collapsed November 2016, claimed Agencies no longer work with Alexa and yet his platform ranks 855 in Nigeria! Really? A site with 200,000 daily visitors?
Claimed their app was large and upon checking installs count, the app has not even crossed the 5000 downloads mark
Said “When a story on our site gets 2500 views, it failed.” Yet over 70% of their stories have 0 comments.

I am not here to bash anyone but to highlight why some companies never grow. Who would visit Greennews.ng when there is Pulse, Naij, Linda, Techcabal! Even radar has more activities and engagement than the so called Greennews. This is what is wrong with the Nigerian scene. EGO!!!

Oh and by the way the dude told my friend to go and research him and come back with a better proposal. Even Gigalayer which is hosting company has more traffic than this site! Obiwezy has more app downloads!

Looking forward to what you guys think about this really amusing lie(story) ruined by the truth!
