Investment Breakdown
₦191M+
on a ₦120M investment.

Every number below uses floor rates, heavily discounted for an unproven platform. No inflated CPMs. No optimistic projections. The real number is higher, we only count what's defensible. All figures are forward-looking projections based on stated assumptions. Actual results may vary significantly.

Estimated 1.6× projected return based on conservative modelling. The expansion rights to Lagos, Port Harcourt, Accra and Nairobi included in the Headline tier are valued at zero below, they are an option, not a guarantee. If Oct 1 proves the format, that option may be worth more than the entry price. These projections do not constitute a guarantee of returns.
