See-gnal.
Signal Everything.
Nigeria's civic accountability and reporting platform. Four channels — one mission: nothing that happens in our national life goes unreported, untracked, unaccountable, or unchallenged.
Report acts of injustice, police brutality, extrajudicial killings, corruption, and bad governance. Every report is a permanent civic record. File it. Track it. Demand accountability.
Extrajudicial killings, unlawful arrests, torture, excessive force by security forces.
Bribery, embezzlement, contract fraud, ghost workers, misappropriation of public funds.
Abuse of office, dereliction of duty, infrastructure neglect, policy failures affecting citizens.
Judicial manipulation, discrimination, disenfranchisement, unlawful detention, rights violations.
Mene Ogidi, a 28-year-old Nigerian, was shot at close range by ASP Nuhu Usman of the Nigeria Police Force at the Benin Motor Park along the Warri–Sapele Expressway, Effurun, Delta State. A widely circulated video showed Ogidi seated on the ground with his hands tied behind his back before being shot by an officer in plain clothes. He had left home to collect a waybill on behalf of a friend in Sapele and never returned alive. His family disclosed that police had previously killed his younger brother in a separate incident. The Force Disciplinary Committee found ASP Usman acted "in gross violation of Force Order 237 and other extant regulations governing the use of firearms," describing his conduct as "unlawful, unprofessional, and a clear betrayal of the oath to protect life." Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu approved Usman's immediate dismissal, forwarded for ratification by the Police Service Commission. Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori described the killing as "unwarranted, unprovoked and barbaric." The National Human Rights Commission and the Police Service Commission both issued formal condemnations. Criminal prosecution proceedings are underway.
Nigeria's Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) was introduced to eliminate ghost workers from the federal payroll. The Auditor-General's 2023 report flagged billions in questionable payroll entries across multiple Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee has repeatedly recommended forensic audits of payroll records. Accountability outcomes — including prosecutions and funds recovery — remain incomplete. See-gnal is tracking disclosures, audit reports, and prosecution updates.
Between 2023 and 2025, Lagos State government carried out demolitions of waterfront communities with affected residents reporting absence of prior notice, resettlement alternatives, or compensation as required under the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law and the constitutional right to shelter. Human rights organisations documented the displacements. See-gnal calls on Lagos State to publish a complete resettlement and compensation record, as mandated by law.
Tracking institutional performance across Nigeria's key sectors — scored against government targets, budget allocations, and verifiable outcomes. Inspired by BudgIT's Tracka and similar civic data tools, but broader in scope and citizen-powered. Anyone can submit verified data.
Composite scores (0–100) reflect citizen-verified and data-referenced assessments against declared government targets. Sources include NBS, Budget Office, sector ministry reports, UNICEF, WHO, and verified citizen submissions.
The Ledger is citizen-powered. If you have verified data, official documents, or first-hand evidence of institutional performance or failure in any sector, submit it. Every data point strengthens the public record.
Submit Sector Data →Anyone posts anything about Nigerian national life — in words. Observations, testimonies, civic essays, policy analysis, personal accounts of governance failure, community reports, investigative accounts. If it is true and the public should know, OpenMic is where you write it. Writing lives here; art lives in Critika.
When the video of Mene Ogidi's killing circulated in late April 2026, Nigerians reacted with horror. They were right to. But horror alone is not enough. ASP Nuhu Usman did not invent impunity — he inherited it. The Nigeria Police Force has for decades operated within a culture in which extrajudicial violence carries no consistent institutional consequence. #EndSARS was a cry for reform in 2020. Government panels were set up. Reports were written. Mene Ogidi is buried. The officer has been dismissed — but dismissed is not convicted. And conviction without systemic reform is not change. It is performance. Nigeria does not have a bad officer problem. It has a structural impunity problem. Until the institution changes, the individuals will not.
Lagelu Local Government Area has not convened a public town hall in over three years. Residents have no structured channel to engage elected officials. Constituency projects are invisible. Budget allocations are announced without community input. This is what democratic failure looks like at the grassroots — not dramatic, not viral, just the slow erosion of accountability in places the cameras never reach.
The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 — signed into law in mid-2025 — represent the most comprehensive reform of Nigeria's tax framework in decades. For the formal sector, they rationalise multiple levies into a single-window compliance framework. For the informal sector — traders, artisans, market women who constitute over 90% of employment — the picture is more complex: expanded compliance obligations that presuppose access to banking and digital infrastructure that millions lack. The reform is directionally necessary. Its equity in implementation is the test Nigeria cannot afford to fail.
The Basic Healthcare Provision Fund exists, by law, to ensure that primary healthcare is accessible to Nigerians who cannot afford private care. In April 2026, I presented at a federal government secondary health facility in Abuja and was charged ₦92,000 for treatment. When I asked the billing officer about BHCPF coverage, she said: "The drugs are not available. You have to buy them outside." This is not an accident. It is the predictable outcome of chronic underfunding, supply chain collapse, and institutional indifference. The law exists. The infrastructure does not.
A major highway segment in Anambra State has been flagged as "under rehabilitation" since at least 2016. Multiple contracts have been awarded; mobilisation fees disbursed; contractors sighted briefly, then absent for months at a time. The road remains dangerous. Fatal accidents are documented on this corridor every month. The Bureau of Public Procurement records show at least three separate contract awards on this route. Where the cumulative expenditure went remains publicly unexplained. See-gnal is preparing a Freedom of Information request to the Federal Ministry of Works.

Graphics, cartoons, illustrations, video, music, spoken word, and visual art — critiquing government performance against its declared promises and proposing solutions. Art as the most irreducible form of civic pressure. No writing here — that lives on OpenMic. This is the canvas, the stage, and the studio.
