The Problem · The Fix
By the time WhatsApp groups forward an alert, the moment has passed.
Open social apps mix fake accounts with real neighbours. Trust collapses.
Nothing shows what's happening on YOUR street, in YOUR LGA, right now.
Every member is mapped to a real street and LGA. No anonymous noise.
Emergency tags, civic announcements and notice boards keep the feed useful.
Two feeds, your Neighbourhood and your LGA, so you see only what matters near you.

Questions
Akede is built for anyone living in a verified residential area. We verify residency through phone numbers and location mapping to ensure every user is a real neighbor.
No. You can start by joining your neighborhood and reading updates. You only need to build out your profile when you decide to post or engage with neighbors.
Absolutely. Your specific house number is never shared. Neighbors only see your name and the street you live on. We do not sell your data to third parties.
We use OTP phone verification and cross-reference location data. Additionally, our community moderation and reporting tools help keep the environment high-quality.
The Neighbourhood feed is for people on your immediate street or block. The LGA feed covers broader civic updates, local government news, and verified journalism for your entire area.
Urgent alerts are tagged by users and, once confirmed by guardrails, send instant push notifications to everyone in the neighborhood to ensure rapid response.
