The campus economy
deserves real
infrastructure.
Unigram is the verified marketplace, feed, and job board for Nigerian university students. Every user is matric-confirmed. Every listing is from a real student. No more WhatsApp chaos.
The problem
WhatsApp wasn't built
for campus commerce.
No Trust Layer
Anyone can join a WhatsApp group. You can't verify a seller is a real student before you hand over money.
No Discoverability
Listings drown in chat noise. You can't find what you need even when ten sellers have it.
No Structure
Skills go unmatched. Announcements compete with memes. There is no channel for campus work or official info.
How it works
Built around how campus
actually works.
Faculty-first. Verification-first. Designed for the ₦400B economy that already exists.
Register with your matric
Your matric number is validated automatically. Then upload your student ID card. Once verified, every action you take is tied to a real student.
Browse, post, and trade
Your feed shows your faculty first, then campus-wide. List products in the marketplace, apply to jobs, post in the feed. Everything in one place.
Message directly, in context
Every conversation stays tied to its listing or task. No sharing personal numbers. No losing context in a general DM.
45,000 enrolled at BUK

Two-tier verification
Matric check + ID card review on every account
Five sections
Feed · Marketplace · Notice Board · Jobs · Chat
Features
Every part of campus life,
in one place.
Not five separate apps. Not five WhatsApp groups. One platform where every user is verified.
Verified Social Feed
Posts from your faculty appear first. Then campus-wide. Sellers build trust before buyers ever message them.
Student Marketplace
Textbooks, electronics, food, fashion — 9 categories, all from matric-verified sellers. No strangers from the internet.
Official Notice Board
Faculty announcements, academic timetables, sports fixtures. From verified Campus Sources only. Not competing with noise.
Campus Job Board
Post a task. Apply with a pitch. Design, code, tutor, photograph — skill-matched gigs between real students.
Contextual Chat
Every conversation stays tied to its listing or task. No lost context. No personal numbers shared.
Faculty-First Algorithm
Same faculty and level: highest priority. The 300-level Computing feed is different from the 100-level Business feed.
The Founder Badge
First 200 Tier 2 verified users earn ✦ Founder — permanent, visible on every post and listing. Never earned again after.
Verification
Verified means
verified.
Not self-reported. Not email confirmed. Matric-validated and ID-reviewed by our team.
Tier 1 confirms your matric looks valid. Tier 2 confirms you are the person it belongs to. Both run before you can post, list, or apply.
Matric Validation
- Format check
- Faculty code match
- Level vs entry year
- Duplicate lock
ID Card Review
BUK goes first. Every campus comes next.
