Notes · October 2026
An open letter from Oyinbrakemi Praise Oyimi Omare
What I'm building next, why it starts in the South South, and what I'm asking for.
Read the letterBuilt for how we talk, pay and decide.
Twokriks is a research and product company. We build Y, the brain, and the products that teach it. Four of them are below.
The South South of Nigeria · six states · about 30 million people
Two creeks. The way we say it in Warri.
Everything on this page starts here, with how people in the delta talk, pay, decide and get cheated, and is built to travel from here.
Y is the brain underneath everything.
Y is built to hear people in their own language, work out what they need, and act for them safely. It starts with how people in the South South talk, pay, decide and get cheated. Built on open models we own. Never an app you download. Every product on this page teaches it, and banks, fintechs and builders license it.
Read about YWe prove things instead of claiming them.
Yfraud has been measured on 235,795 web addresses and 6,984 phishing emails, with 10,000 situations proved and 50 real cases labelled by hand. Our first paper, Counting What Exists, sets out how we build language data where almost none exists. The corpus holds two Ijaw dictionaries digitised to text, credited to their authors, and a Warri Pidgin wordlist of 336 entries, and collection of Pidgin, Urhobo and Ijaw speech has begun.

Banks, fintechs and teams get Yfraud and Y first. Speakers and builders get Creeks. Leave your name and we will write to you.
