The problem

Other apps show you everyone. Tribalink starts with your roots.

On most platforms your culture is a hashtag and your community is a guess. Tribalink asks where you are from, confirms you are real, and puts your people at the top of your feed.

Wherever you live, your roots stay close. Meet the people who share your language, your food and your stories.

One community

Every culture, side by side

Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw, Tiv and more than a hundred other tribes. Your feed starts with your own and opens up to everyone.

Features

Built around your culture

Your feed starts with your people

Posts from your tribe and LGA come first, with your state and the rest of Nigeria mixed in so you keep discovering.
