Nigerian creates road traffic app

Necessity is the mother of invention. That could be a better way to describe new mobile developments in Nigeria today. Nigerians have invented innovative mobile applications, gadgets and devices out of the frustrations they have either experienced or a need not being met.


Dele Oluwole has made good use of the chaotic traffic situation in Nigeria to create an app. Although, not been parmanent in the country for the past ten years sourjouning Denmark, Great Britain and New Zealand, traffic reports back home were however frustrating and immediately evoked the desire to think home. He created a mobile application called JonnyWaka 316, meant to help improve road user experience, safe, efficient road management and reduction of road hazards.

Developed for road users in Nigeria, Oluwole said JonnyWaka is a FREE mobile app to download. The app is designed to help users avoid incidents like traffic jams, armed robbery, flood, among other road hazards.

Law enforcement agencies like the FRSC and the Nigerian Police can also use this app to aid in combating road vices. With the app also gives road users can also upload traffic incidents like accidents, flood and armed robberies on the site.

There is also a provision on the app site, for users to take a shot of accident scenes and upload immediately to help people avoid those roads/routes.





Innovative! Nigerians are really upping their game in the area of application development.
