Nigerian Apps To Identify, Fact-check And Report Fake News And Products

“A lot of people think they can easily identify a fake product when they see it.

In reality, it’s never quite that simple. Fake products have evolved over the years to become quite like the real ones. For example, a fake malaria drug looks exactly like the original; same look, same feel. Would you really want to leave it to chance? Risk it being fake and then making the condition even worse?

ChekkitApp erases that doubt.”

“Run Am is the Nigerian Pidgin word that captures the intention to verify or fact-check news source to be sure it is valid and authentic.

“You’re a smart, well-informed consumer with a keen eye for quality, genuine products.

But how can you be 100% sure that what you are buying is genuine? What if you bought something important like Diabetes medicine only to realize it’s not working because the product doesn’t have the right ingredients?
