A Nigerian food-trade intelligence service tracking prices across 67 markets and collecting trader demand signals through a multilingual WhatsApp assistant.

Why it surfaced

Lokoja turns ordinary market questions into structured signals, distinguishing a 30-tonne lorry enquiry from a retail bag purchase. Its strongest detail is the combination of local language and local units—Hausa, Pidgin, Yorùbá and Igbo alongside buhu, apo, akpa and taya—with corridor economics that subtract haulage from the apparent margin.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
