Real statuses, fetched as you read. Uptime is for the last 30 days.
- 01The problem
Global outage trackers barely cover Nigerian services, and a false alarm about a bank is worse than no alarm at all.
- 02What it does
Checks about 1,500 services around the clock, from banks and fintechs to MTN, Airtel and Glo, and all 36 state governments plus the FCT. Alerts go out by web push and Telegram, with a monthly reliability report, a public API and status badges.
- 03Why it is hard
Many Nigerian sites block foreign checkers or stall bots, so nothing is marked down until a probe inside Nigeria confirms it.
