Methodology

  • Live FX is aggregated from open.er-api.com, refreshed hourly. Market rate — for the CBN official, see cbn.gov.ng.
  • Pump prices come from the NBS Premium Motor Spirit Price Watch monthly bulletin (PMS + AGO + DPK).
  • Bus fares are scraped weekly via Playwright from carrier booking sites (GIGM live; others deep-link only).
  • /how-much bands come from one of two sources:
    • Jiji.ng listings — median of N real seller-posted prices per query, refreshed weekly via FlareSolverr. 25-75 percentile range published.
    • AI market estimate — typical range from market knowledge for verticals Jiji doesn't cover well (school fees, gov fees, services). Always clearly labelled as estimate.
  • Product prices are scraped from major Nigerian retailers daily. Matched against a canonical SKU catalog so the same product across stores can be compared apples-to-apples.
  • Single-price collapsed bands (e.g. cement showing ₦9,000 with no range) reflect Jiji listings being tightly clustered — sellers in price-matched commodities like cement converge to one number.
