How we research and write

Our solution pages, insights and blog are written or reviewed by Samuel Anwakang, Co-founder of Delight. These are the standards every page is held to.

Every figure has a source you can open

Statistics and research findings link to their source in the “Sources” list at the end of each page. We prefer peer-reviewed research and official Nigerian data (such as EFInA, the FCCPC and the NBS), and we say where a study was done when it wasn’t Nigeria.

Our own data comes with its method

When we publish figures from Delight, we say where they come from, when they were counted, how many people they cover and what they can’t tell you. We publish totals only, never anyone’s individual answers.

Product facts are checked against the app

What a page says Delight does, what it costs and what it can’t do is checked against how the app works. When the product changes, we update the page and its “Updated” date.

Examples are labelled as examples

Naira figures used to show how a problem works are marked as illustrations. They are not averages or predictions.

We don’t compare ourselves with other apps

Our pages explain how money works and how Delight works. They don’t rank, review or name other companies’ products, and no one pays to appear on them.

We don’t promise outcomes

We explain what a setup does and what it can’t do. We don’t promise to get anyone out of debt or guarantee savings. Where a problem needs more than a money system, such as harassment by a lender, we point to where to get help.

We don’t judge people’s money choices

When a money problem keeps coming back, we look for the gap in the system, not a flaw in the person. We write for people who are capable and in charge of their own money.
