Why Skilarts exists
My dad needed a carpenter. He had to go out and look for one himself, asking around, hoping for the best. Every Nigerian knows that story. The good electrician, mechanic or tailor is usually one phone call away. You just need someone you trust to give you the number.
Skilarts writes that word of mouth down. Every artisan here was recommended by a real person who has used them, and that person's name and socials are right there. Good artisans get more work. Neighbours get help they can trust. Bad actors get found out.
How we keep it honest
- Only first-hand vouches, with evidence where possible.
- Artisans need 10 jobs for 10 different people before they're listed.
- Every new listing spends a few days under review.
- Community notes, reports and a public banned list.
- An audit log of every admin action.
What we're not
We're not an agency and we're not part of your deal with any artisan. We connect you, and you verify. If something goes wrong, tell us so we can protect the next person.
