Must be a slow news day for BGR. Not only is this article pointless, but the writer was also too lazy to do any basic research. It is true that the Nigerian App store slants towards religious apps (and sex apps).It is also true that there is very little activity on that store. I had an app in the top 100 overall for many weeks on sales of fewer than 30 total copies

"Popular Nigerian apps are expensive. Very expensive. The two best-selling bible apps among the top five apps on August 10th were each $10"<p>Very expensive 10$<p>Choose one please.<p>I don't know about those particular apps, but an era where any piece of software over 1.99$ is considered expensive is a very sad one.
