From PIJAlance Magazine

Check a claim before you share it.

Paste something you saw on WhatsApp, X or anywhere else. We search the open web, official sources, our archive and Nigeria's fact-checking record, then show you what the evidence says — with the links, so you can see for yourself.

How it works
01

Paste the claim

Copy it exactly as you saw it — a message, a headline, a figure someone quoted.

02

We check the evidence

We look for official statements, trusted reporting and published fact-checks, and weigh each source.

03

See the verdict and sources

You get a clear verdict, the reasons, the links behind it, and a card you can share.

Not just true or false

Most claims aren't simply one or the other, so neither are our answers. Tap any verdict to see exactly what it means and how we decide it.

How we reach a verdict →

Every answer shows its sources

Each verdict comes with links to the evidence it rests on, whatever the verdict. If you disagree, you can check the sources yourself.

Sensitive claims go to an editor

Claims about deaths, elections and similar sensitive matters are passed to a PIJAlance editor, unless an official source has already settled them. We'll notify you when there's a final answer.

In testing This checker is new and still being tested. Answers are produced by AI, so treat them as provisional and read the sources before you rely on them. If something looks wrong, tell us — that is what this stage is for.
