The Problem

Building in Nigeria with
global tools is expensive and risky.

Every naira devaluation makes your cloud bill bigger. Your users' data sits in Johannesburg. And the CBN deadline is 4 months away.

💸

Dollar bills crushing your margins

AWS, Supabase, Firebase — all billed in USD. Every naira devaluation makes your cloud bill bigger overnight, with zero warning.

🌍

Your users' data is in South Africa

AWS af-south-1 is Johannesburg — not Nigeria. Firebase and Supabase have no Nigerian region. Your users' data leaves the country.

⚖️

NDPA fines are getting serious

NDPC fined Meta $220M and Multichoice ₦766M. The CBN's January 2027 data localisation deadline is 4 months away.

🔧

Nigerian integrations are painful

Setting up Paystack, Termii, Flutterwave, BVN verification from scratch takes weeks every project. Every time.

From Developers

What builders are saying.

"Finally a backend platform that understands the Nigerian market. Paystack and Termii built in — I stopped spending weeks on integrations and shipped my MVP in days."

Oprah Moore

Founder · LewaDigital

"The SQL editor sidebar fix and human-readable error messages made a real difference. The team responds fast and actually fixes things. That's rare."

Toheeb

Developer · Tireda

"NaijaBase is exactly what Nigeria's developer ecosystem needed. Data in Lagos, naira billing, NDPA compliance out of the box. I switched from Supabase in one afternoon."
