The game

Naija politics, the fictional edition

Who Dey Rule? is a swipe-to-decide political life sim that laughs with Nigerians, not at them. Each month a new face walks in with budget palava, potholes, NEPA wahala, flooding, primaries, defection season or a godfather's "small request". Two choices. Real consequences.

  • Fast one-thumb swiping: one card per month, two choices
  • Stories from every corner: North-West, North-East, North-Central, South-West, South-East and South-South
  • "Naija Twitter" reacts to every decision you make
  • Short sessions, perfect for traffic, queues and "the meeting will start soon"
  • Works offline. No account, no ads, no tracking
Gameplay: four meters at the top, and a card from reporter Zainab Bello asking you to respond to a viral video, with two swipe choices

Four meters

Keep everybody happy. Small thing.

Every swipe moves four meters. No choice pleases everybody, and if any meter hits zero, e don finish.

People

Do the voters still believe in you?

Party

Will the godfathers still return your calls?

Purse

How "comfortable" are you getting?

Peace

Is your area calm, or is there tension?

Careful, Honourable: let your purse get too full and the anti-graft agency comes knocking. Balance is everything.
