Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team selling to African diaspora, digital nomads, and frequent business travellers from Nigeria

How to build it

1. Partner with 2–3 MVNO providers or carrier APIs in top destinations (UK, US, Canada, UAE). Test activation flows and pricing. 2. Build a lightweight app (React Native or Flutter) + web dashboard for eSIM purchase, activation, and balance management. 3. Create WhatsApp bot or Telegram bot as distribution layer (lower friction than app download for African users). 4. Set up payment rails via Flutterwave or Stripe to accept Naira and USD; negotiate carrier payouts monthly. 5. Launch to Nigerian Twitter/tech communities and remote work groups; track CAC and LTV ruthlessly.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian diaspora has immediate, proven pain point (roaming costs, SIM swaps abroad). You can undercut global players on support latency in local timezones, build community trust faster, and handle Naira payments frictionlessly. Carrier margins are thin but volume scales fast once you own a niche (e.g. all Nigerian remote workers). Low CAC if you tap existing tech communities.
