Our story

Know what you are renting before you pay.

Finding a home near campus should feel like a fresh start. 99 Crib helps you explore real accommodation listings, see property photos and videos, and rent through a process that protects your payment until move-in is confirmed.

About 99 Crib

We know student accommodation can be exhausting.

We had experienced how hard it can be to find reliable accommodation, and seen other students face scams or feel pressured to pay before they understood their options.

We founded 99 Crib to make that experience seamless. Our idea was simple: help students find accommodation near their university, give them real information about the spaces they are considering, and protect their renting payments through move-in confirmation.

For landlords, the same system creates stronger listings, more serious enquiries, and a clearer path from discovery to move-in.

Our mission

Remove uncertainty from student accommodation.

You deserve enough information and time to choose a home with confidence. We bring together physical verification, real property media, and escrow-protected renting so you can make an informed decision before you pay.

Our vision

A clearer path to a student home across Nigeria.

We want students across Nigeria to have access to reliable accommodation information and a protected renting process, wherever they study.

We are starting with our YabaTech and UNILAG pilot. Our ambition is to bring the same focus on honest information and payment protection to more universities as we grow.

What we stand for

Two commitments at the heart of 99 Crib.

Honest information and real property media

Your decision should begin with a clearer picture of the property. Before publishing a listing, our team visits to confirm that the property exists at its advertised location. Real property photos and videos help you explore the spaces you are considering before deciding to rent.

Protection of your renting payment

Paying for an accommodation is a significant commitment. During our pilot, a payment partner holds renting funds until move-in is confirmed. That confirmation step is central to our process, so your payment stays protected while you complete your move-in.

Our founding team

The people behind 99 Crib.

We are bringing our firsthand experience of student accommodation into a platform built around clearer information and protected renting payments.
