Meet Fusion: The Nigerian Alternative To WhatsApp 

If you’re a Nigerian, you must have heard the news that WhatsApp, the most popular messaging and “social media” platform in the world might be leaving Nigeria soon. If you haven’t, I’m telling you now. 

WhatsApp might be out of Nigeria before the year ends. You must be wondering why, well, here’s the gist. 

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) recently slammed the platform with a fine of $220 million for data privacy violation and also put some stringent conditions in place that might hamper its continued functionality in Nigeria. 

The entire saga seems unbelievable at first but think about it. Twitter was once blocked for months and we could barely do anything there.

If WhatsApp also leaves, that means we can wake up one morning and other social media apps would be gone too.

Safe to say, we could be social media-less one day. That’s unless we come up with a local solution for social media. A social media platform made by Nigerians and for Nigerians. That’s where Fusion comes in.

Fusion is more than just a messaging app. Think of it as a mix between WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram. The app allows you to create communities for your interests and invite your friends, just like Twitter. 

You can also send messages to your loved ones, create private/public friends, family, and work groups called communities.

You won’t even miss WhatsApp, we promise you. It’s basically the Nigerian version of WeChat.

The best part about Fusion is that you can also get rewarded for creating and engaging on posts, just like TikTok and the likes even without being popular.

Imagine the chance of getting paid every time you make a post or a comment. 

And it’s unlike Twitter where you have to be popular to get paid good money. Fusion rewards everyone according to their content — zero popularity needed. 

I’m talking pure cash rewards, straight to your Fusion wallet that you can withdraw anytime. With your wallet, you send money to your loved ones in and outside Fusion.

It almost sounds too good to be true but it is. You can check it here.

On Fusion, you get to meet interesting people with diverse interests from Movies to Food, Music and Tech.

There’s a community for everyone and if you do not find what you like, you can easily create your own community and start inviting your friends.

If you’re a Nigerian living in Nigeria and even outside, this app should be a consideration for the people and relationships that matter to you.

A platform made specifically to give Nigerians a place to express themselves freely. 

It’s time to act fast and hedge your bets elsewhere. Fusion is where it’s at.

Find me in the Food and Drink Community or “Dating” with username “@kanyinsola”. I can’t wait to see you there!
