About NIDEA
A more connected way to chat, discover and take part.
NIDEA is a platform where private conversation meets news, learning, creativity and opportunity. It is being built in Nigeria, for people everywhere.
Technology should bring people closer to what matters.
We can reach almost anyone today, yet the things that matter to us remain scattered across different apps and platforms.
NIDEA brings communication and discovery closer together, creating one place to connect, share, learn, explore and discover opportunities.
From staying close to family across borders to discovering something new in your community, we believe technology should make more of life easier to access.
Our aim is a world where connection creates possibility, and everyone has more room to participate, grow and thrive.
Two experiences, one platform
Communication
Live todayYour conversations. Your connections.
Private chats, free voice and video calls, status updates, and Hush for the conversations that should not be kept.

Communication keeps us connected to people. Discovery keeps us connected to possibilities. NIDEA brings both together.
Privacy and trust
Trust is built in, not added on.
Discover is still ahead of us. Trust is already here, and it is the foundation everything else will grow on.
Only the people in a chat can read it. Your chats are locked end to end, so we cannot read them either.
No ads, and no selling your data. NIDEA does not show ads and does not sell your personal information.
Your contacts stay yours. NIDEA never reads or uploads your phone book.
You control your account. Add a two-step PIN, see your signed-in devices, and sign any of them out.
Names you can trust. A verified name is checked by our team.
The same care will go with us into Discover.
