Three tools, one company
Start with the one that solves today’s problem.
Each product stands on its own. You do not need one to use the other, and every one of them has a free way in.
For schools
EduPort
Digitalize your school records.
Convert your paperwork into digital information. Automate your reports and records system, all in one place.
For citizens
Chikwo Justice
Know your rights. Know your next move.
A free app to help Nigerians understand their rights when dealing with officials, landlords, employers, and more.
Why Chikwo
The same tool, whether you are online or not.
Nigerian power and networks do not cooperate with software that needs a server to answer. Everything Chikwo builds writes to your own machine first, then catches the cloud up.
Works with no connection
Sell, record marks, and print documents with the internet down. Nothing waits on a server.
Your records stay on your machine
The database is encrypted where it sits. Your books and your students’ records are not someone else’s spreadsheet.
Sync runs in the background
When a connection returns, work you already did uploads on its own. Nothing is lost or entered twice.
See it from anywhere
Owners and parents do not install anything. They open their own page in a browser and see only what is theirs to see.
Backups you can hold
Every product makes its own encrypted backup file. Restore it to a new machine without waiting on support.
Talk to the people who build it
Support is WhatsApp and email, answered by the engineers who wrote the software, within 24 business hours.
RetailFlow
The notebook was never going to keep up.
Running a shop on memory and paper means lost sales, stock you cannot account for, and no real picture of whether the business is making money. RetailFlow replaces the notebook with one app that tracks every sale, every item, and every naira in and out.
Ring up a sale in seconds. Cash, bank transfer or ATM card, with change, part payment and store credit handled for you.
Know your profit, not just your revenue. Cost of goods is taken from the cost price on each sale, so your margin is real.
Grow without switching. The same system runs one counter today and five branches later.

Parents never install anything. Published results, receipts and notices appear on your school’s own address in any browser.
EduPort
Stop running a school on paper files that do not talk to each other.
Attendance registers, fee records, exam scores and report cards usually live in four different places. EduPort puts them in one system that teachers can use offline and parents can open in a browser.
Report cards done for you. Terminal reports, broadsheets and transcripts generate on the school machine, signed and stamped.
Fees made clear. Who has paid, who owes, and a statement a parent can actually read.
Your old records, digitised. Bring your existing files in through upload templates as part of setup.
Getting started
Four steps, and it is running.
-
Pick your tool
RetailFlow for a shop, EduPort for a school. Both have a free plan you can stay on.
-
Install or sign up
Download the Windows installer, or register your school online and get your own address on chikwo.com.
-
Add what you already have
Your products, or your students and staff. Import from a spreadsheet instead of typing it twice.
-
Work, then sync
Use it offline from day one. Published results and daily takings reach the cloud when you reconnect.
Honest comparison
What you give up with the other options.
Cloud subscriptions and old desktop programs both solve part of the problem. Neither handles a shop or a school where the connection is not guaranteed.
