The Issue

Whilst I applaud efforts made by Bill Gates​, Eric Schmidt, Mark Zuckerberg and others​ in their philanthropic works, I am greatly dismayed by a lack of support from Google​ for African Software Developers to monetize their apps on Google Play!

Currently, only developers from Nigeria and Egypt  are allowed to open a Google​ Merchant Account. A Google Merchant Account is needed if you want to get paid when people download your "app" on the Google Play Store.

We are not asking for donations, only asking to be allowed to work and get paid for it!

Please Google, allow us this opportunity :-)
