Safety is a human right.
Everyone deserves to know what's happening around them before they step outside. Chipon makes that possible for Nigeria.
See it before you go.
In Nigeria, safety information is fragmented. You hear about things through WhatsApp forwards, word of mouth, or the news — usually after it's too late to change your plans.
Chipon brings it all together. We combine community reports with verified data from NBS Nigeria, ACLED, and HDX to show you what's happening in real time — on a map, in an alert feed, and as a safety score for your route.
We're not a tracking app. We're not surveillance. We're a safety companion that respects your privacy and keeps you informed.
What we stand for.
Information, not action
Chipon helps people see what's happening. We share information with communities — never encourage confrontation.
Your privacy matters
Your location data is temporary. Every report can be anonymous. We don't track where you go or store your movements.
Community first
The community verifies every report. The more neighbors who confirm, the more you can trust what you see.
Speed matters
When something happens, you need to know fast. Reports go live in seconds, not hours. Because timing can change everything.
How we got here.
From a simple question — what if you could check if an area is safe before going there? — to a live platform.
Identified the core problem: safety information in Nigeria is scattered and slow to spread.
Built the first prototype. Started gathering and verifying safety data across Lagos.
Launched the live platform with real-time map, community alerts, and route safety scoring.
Mobile app public launch on iOS and Android. Expanding to more cities across Nigeria.
Built in Nigeria.
A small, focused team building something that matters.
