The Node is a members-only coworking network. One membership, one profile, and the same standard of infrastructure at every location — starting in Ibadan. It is built for founders, freelancers and remote workers who need somewhere serious to do the work: fast fibre, 24/7 power, and a room that is genuinely free when you booked it. WHAT YOU CAN DO Book your space Reserve a hot desk, the Focus Room or the Boardroom at your home location. See what is actually free, check in when you arrive, and cancel from your phone when plans change. Print without the queue Send a document straight from the app and collect it on site. Printing is metered in credits drawn from a prepaid wallet, so you know what a job costs before it runs and you are never billed a surprise. Grab what you need Snacks, drinks and coffee from the mini-mart, paid from the same account. Stay in the loop News, workshops and events from your location, with RSVPs so you can hold a seat. Carry your membership One profile, with your @handle and QR code, recognised across the network. Move between Node locations without re-registering, re-paying, or explaining who you are. MEMBERSHIP Passes are flexible — come for a day, take a week, or hold a Network Pass that works across every location. Manage your plan, payments and receipts in the app. Payments are handled securely by Paystack. WHO IT IS FOR Founders building something. Freelancers who need a desk that is not a cafe table. Remote workers whose home office stopped working. Teams that need a boardroom for the morning rather than a lease for a year. The Node is operated by Glumia Solutions from Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Node at none against Fiber's 5. The Node also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 weeks). Fiber's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
