In Lagos today, incessant traffic, road hazards, traffic violations, and disregard for the lives and property of other road users are par for the course. Many fatal accidents have been borne out of numerous avoidable traffic violations. That is why Whistle was born.

Whistle is the first and only app that helps citizens validate vehicle paperwork, escalate accidents and traffic disruptions, and report traffic violations – and pays them for reporting.

With the Whistle app, users are able to:

Report dangerous vehicles and dangerous driving

Report traffic congestion and get the appropriate authorities to clear bottlenecks

Report Accidents to secure aid for accident victims and ensure the road is clear for smooth traffic

Flag vehicles driving with expired paperwork and instantly notify authorities to issue fines where applicable
With the Whistle.

The first app of its kind in CivicTech, part of what makes Whistle unique is that the app has an integrated virtual wallet that houses the rewards Whistlers receive for sending in reports.

This means that for reporting a vehicle without valid papers for instance, the Whistler will earn a share of the fines paid by erring road user. Every report submitted by a Whistler is backed by picture or video evidence which is seamlessly escalated to the appropriate authorities to provide a swift resolution.

Any Nigerian will be able to quickly alert the authorities to vehicles that are likely to cause carnage on the roads. The submissions will automatically provide the responding officers with the precise location of the dangerous vehicle. Alerts for traffic congestion and will work in a similar fashion.

The strength of the app lies in crowdsourced information, connecting the citizens with the law enforcement agencies that will ensure sanity is re-introduced to the roads.

The app is currently only available on Google Play store, and the Whistle team assure that the ios version is in the works.

Wow, this is such an amazing innovation... Great work

I am so downloading the app and telling my friends about it, enough of complaining about rough drivers daily when I can easily report them now...

This is extra dope and it even comes with an earning reward, super dope, kudos to the innovators

A good one I must say. Innovation that will help this country

This is a great development. The app will help in calling Citizens to order.

This innovation will help in curbing crimes that are being perpetrated by some unscrupulous elements. I will give it a try by downloading the app

It's my belief that Whistle will not disappoint in rewarding Citizens accordingly as promised.

With the way this country is going, this is the best thing that should be on your phone

Good one. This wil really help lagos drivers…

You too can own your own mobile app or product.

This is beautiful development.

Yo that’s tight son



Don’t roll with me like that thou cuz if I catch you in the traffic I’ma whack you

Nice idea

paid commenters na him just full the FP. While you all are praising the app I can also see how it could be manipulated.

So what now happens after reporting?
Does the app record video/pictures of the incident (which is distracted driving on it's own and a traffic offence on it's own).
Does the video get sent to some FRSC or Vehicle inspection databases?
Will the FRSC be able to track down an offending vehicle?

The reporting accident and traffic build up at least is useful although google maps already has that feature.

Exactly.
Plus do you notice the OP is literally the same person posting comments.


Chocolate and wine while engage in activities on your profile picture won't be a bad idea actually.

Nice one! But still not the best. There shouldn't be any situation where people are made to openly snitch on fellow citizens for money. This could cause problems. When the app becomes popular, people will resist others taking pictures/ videos of their plates. It's meant for the lazy authorities to do that themselves.

I go report both the good, the bad and the ugly since there's monetary gains

Great business opportunity. Na to download and begin snap and send all vehicles for lagos be that. I just hope that when I snap and send those convoys of politicians with their reckless driving and traffic infractions, you people will really fine them

It remains the one to monitor and report erring Police Officers. Ben Hundeying alone cannot have all the reports
