Prudential Zenith Life backs safer, cleaner Lagos on ESG principle

Lagos Life, a life-simulation game based in the Nigerian city of Lagos, has transformed from an overnight project into a profitable business generating over $170,000 in revenue. Founder Shalom Rayhamen developed the game in just eight hours, and now, the game generates real income through advertisements and virtual billboards. The game is free to play, but businesses pay to reach its audience.

TechCabal counted 244 advertisements across 40 virtual billboards in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja, totaling ₦61 million ($45,870) in advertising for a week. One billboard, Billboard 1 in Lagos Life, displays 43 ads, generating ₦10.75 million ($8,083) in revenue per week. The game's earning power comes from selling ad space to multiple advertisers, with players encountering businesses through rotating ads or tapping billboards to view listings.

To sustain this monetization loop, advertisers must pay enough to justify their weekly ₦250,000 ($188) cost.
