Trade the future.
Turn insights into profit.
Batiwi brings the power of prediction markets to Nigeria. We believe markets are the best way to aggregate information and forecast the future — and now every Nigerian can participate.
Our Mission
Batiwi's mission is to make prediction markets accessible, transparent, and rewarding for every Nigerian. We connect the wisdom of thousands of informed citizens to produce better forecasts on the events that shape our lives — politics, sports, entertainment, business, and more.
We are headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, and are building the infrastructure for a new generation of African prediction markets.
What Are Prediction Markets?
Prediction markets are trading platforms where people buy and sell shares in the outcomes of future events. The price of a share reflects the collective probability estimate of that outcome — if a Yes share on an election result trades at ₦70, the market is saying there's a 70% chance that candidate wins.
Research has shown that the “wisdom of crowds” often produces remarkably accurate forecasts — more accurate than individual experts. By aggregating the knowledge and opinions of thousands of participants, prediction markets surface information that no single person could know alone.
