LabariMap

LabariMap shows what is happening around you in Nigeria, on a map. Security incidents, road crashes and closures, floods, fires and other news from Nigerian outlets appear as coloured pins where they happened. Red means serious, amber means take care, grey means it has been cleared. Tap a pin for a short summary and a link to the original story. CHECK YOUR ROUTE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL Choose where you are starting and where you are going. LabariMap checks the road between them and tells you what has been reported along the way in the last hours and days. ALERTS FOR YOUR AREA Register with Apple or Google and choose your state, how serious a story must be, the kinds of news, and quiet hours for the night. LabariMap tells you when something happens there. The number on the app icon shows the alerts you have not seen yet. REPORT WHAT YOU SEE Saw something? Send a short report from where you are. An editor checks every report before anything shows on the map, and nobody sees who sent it. LISTEN INSTEAD OF READING Stories can be read aloud in English. IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app's menus and screens work in English, Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba. TRUSTWORTHY BY DESIGN Stories are gathered from Nigerian news outlets and read by software; editors review the ones it is unsure about. Every story links to its source, and anyone can send a correction. YOUR PRIVACY The map, the route check and reports work without an account. Registering is only for alerts, and you can delete your account at any time in the app.
