Gosub.ng is a legitimate, active VTU (Virtual Top Up) and bill payment platform in Nigeria, operating since 2020. External search verifies claims of ~100,000 users and functioning services, positioning it well within the 'Small but promising' tier. However, the submission itself was poor, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and missing financial data ('marketcap: null'), which heavily impacted the Quality Factors. The project solves a genuine local problem (affordable data) but lacks technical innovation, relying on standard reseller models.
