What is the Naija Knowledge Vault?
The Naija Knowledge Vault is a growing library of clear, carefully written explainers about Nigeria: its history, its many peoples and traditions, food, attire, places, proverbs, and languages such as Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and Pidgin. The quick guides above load instantly, and each long article lives on its own page, so you can search it, bookmark it and share it.
How to use it
Read the proverb of the day, then type a word in the search box or open a section such as Proverbs, Say it, Attire or History. Use Copy or Share on WhatsApp to send a proverb to a friend, and take the five-question quiz to test yourself. Open any article to read it in full, and use the Listen button on the article to hear it read aloud.
Our standards
Entries are written for readers, not for search engines. We aim to name our sources, correct mistakes quickly, and spell words in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and other languages with their proper tone and dot marks. Spotted an error? Tell us on the contact page.
