A former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, who also doubles as
the CEO of IPI Solutions, had launched the Crowwe app in October
2020 during the #EndSARS protest.

It was described as an instant messaging and financial
transaction app that comes with a digital wallet that helps to
transfer and receive money while chatting.
Garba, via his Twitter handle, had always tried comparing his
app with the microblogging platform, Twitter despite the worst
reviews on Crowwe.
Following the announcement of the Twitter ban by the Federal
Government of Nigeria, Garba urged Nigerians to come on board the
Crowwe app as an alternative to the microblogging website that can
help “to grow Nigeria.”
He tweeted, “Join Crowwe now! Build your country, Build your
people and Build your Brand. Join Crowwe now.
“This is the best opportunity to grow Nigeria to Build Nigeria,
Crowwe to the World.”
Join Crowwe now! Build your country, Build your people and Build
your Brand. Join Crowwe now.
This is the best opportunity to grow Nigeria to Build Nigeria,
Crowwe to the World.
He also expressed his excitement in an interview with Channels
TV that the federal government had banned the operations of Twitter
in the country.
It could be recalled that Garba had earlier called for a ban of
the microblogging platform when it deleted President Muhammadu
Buhari’s genocidal tweet.
“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 needs to shut down from Nigerian internet space. Twitter
needs to get out of Nigeria,” he tweeted.
In another post, he wrote,
The small Crowwe has defeated the giant Twitter in Nigeria. We
have WON!
Garba’s attempt to use the opportunity of Twitter ban in Nigeria
to advertise his app was rejected by Nigerians, who condemned the
app.
Critics also discovered that Crowwe’s Terms and Conditions were
copied from another app, Spotify.
The app has since received terrible reviews which could be
responsible for its disappearance on the play store app.
Many social media users have claimed Crowwe was deducting money
from bank accounts while some alleged it was owned by
terrorists.
In one instance, a review of the app goes: “This App represents
everything that defines wrong. From the space it takes on the
phone, to the design interface and user experience, it makes me
wonder if thoughts went into the development of this App. For the
benefit of the doubt, check the login icon and how unnecessarily
bad it looks, the dashboard looks fraudulent and the trademark
looks like that of ISIS. I am suspecting the App to be from that
side. Please take it down so that people can be protected. Zero
Star App.”
A review on the Apple store reads, ”I lost my money. Please help
me, help me! help me! After I downloaded this app and they asked me
to give access to my phone which when I denied they didn’t allow me
to access the features!
”I had to start again and allowed the access after which I did
and tried getting acquainted with the app… it was not up to 5
minutes and my phone started having fault and detected a virus and
trying to format the phone system. My phone was hacked and my
account I have lost the 900,000 naira that was in my account and it
was after my phone was hacked!
“Please App Store help us do something about this and let them
refund my money! These people are stealing our money and scamming
people with this app. Don’t ever try to download this and this app
should be taken out and the owner should be sued for online theft.
I am broke and need my money back.”
Another one reads, ”Extremely Disturbing. I am flabbergasted by
the owner of this app. This disgusting person supports inhumane
acts such as genocide, kidnapping, terrorism, hate speech and so
much more I am afraid to speak of. The fact that a human being can
hate people that look just like him makes me sick to my stomach- to
the point that I don’t even want my information in this app. How
could you? I don’t recommend downloading it and I am hoping this
gets taken down effective immediately. Terrible.”
