Let me start by asking you a few questions. Have you ever found yourself browsing the net looking for some naija sturvs? Maybe music videos, news, blogs etc? Have you ever been pissed of that there’s so much sturvs on the net from everyone else apart from naija people? Or that you find some really good naija sturvs like 4 years after its no longer relevant? Have you ever collected over 15 GB of random naija sturvs just so you can share them with your friends later? Well enter www.sturvs.com to save the day.
Just in case you’ve been living in a prehistoric village on the outskirts of Lake Chad or you don’t live your entire life on facebook (which is a good thing by the way) sturvs.com is a Nigerian sturvs aggregator. You know what I mean? I love the way they took the naija word, flipped it and made it officially official.
Sturvs.com is the first (or at least biggest of the first) of its kind project and its providing a service that has been sorely needed by Nigerians for ages. The biggest genius on their part is in how they plugged into facebook. They took perhaps the most dominant internet force in Nigeria right now and used its reach to draw traffic. The fact that they also utilized the open source Pligg CMS shows a tech savvy that intrigues me greatly. Nigerians generally assume anything free is substandard or bad, especially when there’s someone round the corner trying to sell you the same? product for 50 million.
They still have quite a long way to go but so far so good. I’ll be following their growth closely and so should you. Get to clicking! Go check out that sturvs.
