Introducing Gowagr: The Stock Market of Opinions

3–5 minutes

The world is talking, don’t just watch. Gowagr lets you profit off your insights by trading on real-world events.

Centuries ago, long before we had stock tickers or smartphone apps, people were already trying to guess the future and put something on the line for it. For instance, ancient Grecians would go to the Oracle at Delphi, asking if their armies would win or if the harvest would be good. The answers came wrapped in mystery, but people still made choices, traded, or fought based on what they believed the future held.

Fast forward a couple thousand years, and that same instinct hasn’t changed. In 1907, statistician Francis Galton ran a small experiment: he asked hundreds of people at a county fair to guess the weight of an ox. Individually, the answers were all over. But when he averaged their estimates, the result was just one pound shy of the real weight of the ox!

That discovery birthed what we now call the wisdom of the crowd; the idea that when many independent minds weigh in, their collective judgment often outperforms even the experts and especially more so, when informed and adequately motivated.

Delphi is no longer readily accessible to humans…

We still want to know what’s next and that is a characteristic we’d all probably never shed. It’s therefore very clear that we still need something aligned with that principle. A kind of truth engine, a stock market of opinions, or put simply, a prediction market that provides real-time updates on real-world events. One that doesn’t require a trip to Greece or whispered riddles from Delphi.

Imagine that same idea, but built for our world.

Well, stop imagining.
That platform is already here.
And its name is Gowagr.

Gowagr, the prediction market that is culturally relevant

Gowagr is a prediction market platform that allows you to predict the outcome of future events and get cash payouts if you’re correct. But unlike many, it’s one that feels close to culturally charged moments and inspired by the way you already debate, speculate, and share opinions every day.

Yes, you.

Here’s some of the market examples you can find on Gowagr:

Will Nigeria qualify for the 2026 World Cup? Will the Lagos State Government commence the green line project before 2026? Who will win Tanzania’s presidential election? Will Elon Musk remain the richest person in the World by year’s end? and more.

You have an opinion on quite a lot of these issues from politics and music to sports and cryptocurrencies. And somewhere between those arguments, real insight emerge. Gowagr is designed to capture that energy and turn it into something structured: a space where opinions become trades, and conviction finds proof.

We want to shape the next layer of financial and information infrastructure — turning collective belief into measurable values that reveal insight, accuracy, and public sentiment through money and conviction.

Note: Gowagr does not set the share prices; it’s solely based on the buy and sell activity of other traders.

Did we just hear you ask “how does it work?”

Well, we’re not shy to say that Gowagr is incredibly intuitive. Once you download the app and set up an account, you’ll land on a home page filled with ongoing market questions.

Typically, markets are simple, clear, and familiar; and these questions are assigned possible YES or NO outcomes that reflect what you believe.

If you think something will happen, you buy Yes shares. If you think it won’t, you buy No shares. The price of each share changes based on what others are thinking — the collective mood of the crowd, captured in numbers. And guess what? You can always sell your shares anytime before the event ends for profit or to cut your loss.

If you’re right when it resolves, your shares pay out at ₦100 or one dollar (depending on the currency you are trading in). If you’re wrong, they go to zero. The difference is your profit or loss — simple, transparent, and fast.

Trade on anything… and EVERYTHING!

You already argue about these things every day on X, with your friends, at the ball house.. and literally everywhere else!

Now, with Gowagr, you have the platform to turn your insight into profit.

What say you?
