I‘m not sure if building a Nigerian solution for an American problem is really the way to go.

If I were you I would try to think of a Nigerian problem that can only be solved by a Nigerian solution.

Very often, similar problems have been solved in other countries in ways that can very much be transplanted.

For example, Uber inspired several clones in other countries prior to Uber entering those markets. Using a de-risked business model is a legitimate business strategy for a startup.

true, there are a lot of problems but its easier to build from an existing solution present in developed countries. Some Nigeria problems have solutions in developed countries.
