🇳🇬 June 12 — Nigeria Democracy Day
We Launched on Democracy Day For a Reason
On June 12, Nigerians remembered the power of the people's voice. Naija Reality exists to ensure that voice never stops being counted.
Eight Ways to Participate in Nigerian Democracy
Naija Reality is Nigeria's first multi-module civic intelligence platform. Six modules are live or in preview. Two more are in active development. Every module feeds the National Reality Index.
Why Naija Reality Check Exists
We were founded on a simple belief: that the lived experiences of ordinary Nigerians are the most credible measure of national progress.
Citizens Experience Governance Differently
A policy announced in Abuja lands differently in Kano, Lagos, Enugu, or Borno. Your state, age, income, and daily context shape what "governance" actually feels like. We capture that difference.
Headlines Don't Reflect Daily Realities
Economic indicators say GDP is growing — yet market women say prices are unbearable. Both can be true. Naija Reality Check gives you the ground-level version that no headline can capture.
Data Should Come From the People
We don't survey "experts." We ask ordinary Nigerians — farmers, traders, teachers, engineers, students, retirees — about their actual lived experience. That is the most authentic data of all.
Every Voice Matters
Whether you're in Owerri or Oslo, Kano or Canada — your Nigerian experience is valid and valuable. Our platform includes the diaspora, because Nigeria's story extends beyond its borders.
"The most powerful data is the kind that people generate themselves."

Current Administration National Reality Index — Live
The Current Administration National Reality Index (NRI) transforms citizen-reported lived experiences across key areas of national life into a single benchmark that reflects how Nigerians assess the performance and impact of the current administration. During development, this section uses demo data until sufficient verified public responses are available.
