‘Pajawiri ‘, the mobile application designed to track kidnappers and kidnap victims in the South-West zone of Nigeria has started generating bad reviews less than 24hrs of unveiling it.
The mobile application unveiled by the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua and proponent of Yoruba Nation agitation, Professor Banji Akintoye to track kidnappers in the South-West zone has started generating bad reviews following the inability of those who downloaded it to register.
Checks by TheDispatch revealed that registration on ‘Pajawiri application’ has been hindered by making ‘Referral Code’ compulsory by the developer.
Further checks revealed that over 5000 people who have so far downloaded the application in less than 24hrs of its unveiling were unable to register because of the ‘Referral Code’, which is compulsory.
Most of the reviews berated the developer of the app for making “Referral Code’ compulsory rather than optional.
Many of the reviewers urged the developer to urgently attend to the issue of ‘Referral Code’, which seems to be a major obstacle to registering on the application.
It would be recalled that the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, and arrowhead of Yoruba Nation agitation, Professor Banji Akintoye yesterday unveiled the mobile application, Pajawiri, designed to track kidnappers and kidnap victims in the South-West zone of Nigeria.
Akintoye said the application will expose criminal elements wherever they are with their victims, once the victims have the application installed in their phones, either on or off.
He added that the security system, which can be downloaded on Play Store, also has another system called ‘Afinihan’ that can be used by those without android phones to link up with those with the full application.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony held in Ibadan, Akintoye, who joined the event virtually from the Benin Republic, said the emergence of Pajawiri is evidence that the Yoruba people are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued.
“We have now proven to the world that we cannot be captured nor be subdued. We are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued.
“It is these innovations and intellectual powers that we will deploy to get ourselves out of the quagmires of Nigeria,” the 86-year-old said, according to a statement by his spokesman, Maxwell Adeleye.
Speaking further: “Those in possession of the ‘Pajawiri’ app on their telephone, will be able to activate the app instantly, whenever they find themselves in danger. By activating the app, they will be able to alert their families, their friends and their neighbours that they are in danger and that they need help.
“In that way, no Yoruba person needs to be alone anywhere on their farms, schools, market places, shops and anywhere else. Any person who finds himself threatened by danger and who is in possession of Pajawiri will be able to alert other persons for help.”
