Four months ago Scorum launch 11 new domains to aid promote local sport and also increase local coverage with the help of this different domains

To my greatest surprise other domains seems to be accelerating at a higher velocity leaving Africa scorum.africa to sink in the mud.

Our domain is abandoned, yes totally rejected by its very own. The last time the domin was active in any category but not for @emekasegun 4 days ago. Many of those categories are totally empty with no single article.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""WHY SO?

1* High Internet Cost

Over here in Africa getting access to the internet is financially demanding as internet service providers are so insincere when it comes to how much you pay for a particular data.

Since the internet plan over here is "pay as you use" and it's time bound (daily, weekly or monthly). With this internet fees is high for an average African.

2* Full Time Jobs

From my little experience I believe 80% of Africans in this ecosystem have a steady source of income to be able to survive here taking my first point into consideration.

Most jobs over here is full time meaning you can only be free when you are done for the day.

For example before I left for youth service I had an employment in a pharmacy working from 8am still 10pm i.e 14 good hours which means I have to sacrifice my sleeping hours to be able to fix a post. I believe same may be applies to some other African users

3* Few writers and low rewards

I must say we have very few writers that are willing to login to the Africa domain due to the low reward for their post.

Everyone needs a good reward for their articles and also a good audience can be a huge encouragement.

4* Multi Languages

Africa is one Continent with a good number of languages and to a very large extent I believe this is a point to worry about.

For a example I'm an Akwaibomite and we speak "Ibibio" over here which is not among the most known languages in Nigeria like Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo and I got to meet only 2 other users from my State I.e @idunique and @lordjames which gives me a <1% of the audience.

So with this I know others may be facing similar challenges.

Which Domain Wears Our Boot Size?

German Scorum domain is really struggling but the difference is that their domain has been very active but is dominated by only one active user @sport-frei

It looks so funny when one person's post appears on both the hot and trending sections.
