Google Play Store has deleted Adamu Garba’s Crowwe App.
This follows tons of public complaints about the app and the controversial views of the developer.
There are also accusations of plagiarism as reported by the PeoplesGazette.
The Crowwe app has been described as an instant messaging and financial transaction application. It comes with a digital wallet that helps transfer and receive money while chatting.
After Twitter deleted President Muhammadu Buhari’s message described as hateful and targeted at the Igbos, Adamu Garba vehemently berated the bird app for taking the action.
Before the suspension of Twitter by the Federal Government of Nigeria took effect, the former Presidential Candidate presented his Crowwe app as an alternative website capable of helping “to grow Nigeria.”
He called on the Federal Government to ban Twitter after it deleted the President’s post.
According to him, “Twitter has no right to infuse into our local political affairs. It’s a company not a government. By removing our democratically elected President’s speech to the people of Nigeria, Twitter need to shut down from Nigeria internet space. Twitter need to get out of Nigeria.”
On Crowwe app’s copyrights violation, PeoplesGazette reports that “Twitter users criticised the application on many grounds including its privacy policy. For instance, critics discovered that Crowwe’s Terms and Conditions were copied from another app, Spotify. The discovery was also verified by Dubawa, a fact-checking platform, to be true.
“ ‘Check the Crowwe app’s terms and conditions. It’s the SAME thing as Spotify. They didn’t even bother editing. Like if you click on the hyperlink it redirects you to Spotify theft. What sort of pangolo app is that?’ A critic alleged on social media.”
Garba has also applauded Central Bank of Nigeria’s ban on Cryptocurrency. He called on Nigerians to embrace ‘cowtocurrency,’ his word for cattle rearing which he insists is more lucrative than any bitcoin.
