Has Tapswap banned Nigerians?
According to Tapswap, there is no plan to ban Nigerians from the app. It insisted that it faced some technical challenges.
Tapswap said:
"Dear Nigerian community. We've heard concerns about limiting access to users from your country, but we want to clarify that this is not the case. We had to enable verification for the region from where DDoS attacks were initiated. As promised, we will disable this once our infrastructure is fully adapted.
"We deeply appreciate every member of our community from all around the world and always welcome you here. Thank you for your understanding and support."
