About Naija Chill Finder
Where do the listings come from?
We research each place from published guides and official pages, write our own description and note the date we last checked. We have not yet visited every venue, and each listing says so.
What do the ₦ price levels mean?
They are our own estimate of how costly a place is: ₦ is low cost or free to enter, ₦₦ is mid-range and ₦₦₦ is premium. They are not quoted prices, so please confirm with the venue.
Why does a listing say “not confirmed”?
Opening hours and prices change often, and published sources sometimes disagree. When we cannot confirm a detail we say so rather than guess.
How does Near me work?
When you tap it, your browser asks for permission to use your location. Your position is used only on your device to sort places by straight-line distance. We do not store or send it anywhere.
What is the Saved list?
Tapping the heart on a place saves it in your own browser on this device. It is not an account, and clearing your browser data removes it.
How does the Google Maps part work?
When you tap Use my location and press Allow, we sort places by distance and show buttons that open Google Maps searches around you, such as restaurants or beaches. The Directions and Reviews buttons on every place also open Google Maps. We never see or store where you are.
What does the New tag mean?
It marks places we added recently. We keep adding places, so check back often. The Place of the day changes every day.
How do I report a mistake?
Email nadiagist247@gmail.com with the place name and what needs changing, and we will check and update it.
