The error message you’re seeing on Fokona — “minimum poll questions is 15” — is poorly worded, but it doesn’t mean you need 15 different questions.
It means:
Your poll must have at least 15 characters (letters/words) in the question field, not 15 questions.
🔹 What the error actually means
“Minimum poll questions is 15” =
👉 Your poll question is too short
Example of what causes the error:
❌ “Best stock?” (too short)
🔹 How to fix it (step-by-step)
1. Write a longer poll question
Make sure your question is descriptive enough.
Examples:
❌ Too short
“Best investment?”
✅ Correct
“Which investment option is best for long-term wealth building in Nigeria?”
2. Add multiple poll options (answers)
Most platforms like Fokona require:
At least 2–4 answer choices
Example:
Stocks
Mutual funds
Real estate
Fixed deposit
3. Ensure each option is valid
Avoid:
Empty options
Very short or duplicate answers
4. Check for hidden issues
If the error still shows:
Remove emojis or special symbols
Avoid copy-paste from WhatsApp (it may carry hidden characters)
Refresh the page or try another browser
🔹 Example of a valid poll
Question:
“Which investment platform do you trust most for long-term savings in Nigeria?”
Options:
PiggyVest
Bamboo
Cowrywise
Bank fixed deposit
👉 This will pass because:
Question is longer than 15 characters
Options are complete
🔹 Why Fokona does this
Platforms like Fokona enforce minimum length to:
Prevent spam questions
Encourage meaningful discussions
🔹 Bottom line
You’re not required to create 15 questions.
You just need:
A longer, clear poll question (15+ characters)
Proper answer options
