We are noticing that many startups in Nigeria are going down. They come to business and register their domains, but as soon as it is time to new the domains, they go .gone. Nwalla is no more online and we just checked Netaviva and noted that it is not available also. We hope these are hosting issues and not that these firms are out of business.
We got this from Netaviva website in case you do not know the firm

The startup ecosystem in Nigeria is very toxic. There is no infrastructure. The cost of broadband remains high while electricity is nowhere. Until government helps in these regards, it will be very difficult to sustain these companies.
