We built 234Grammar because we were tired of international tools flagging our perfectly valid Nigerian expressions as “errors.”
The Problem
International grammar checkers weren't built with Nigerian writers in mind
Most grammar tools charge in dollars. Virtual cards fail. Exchange rates change daily. You shouldn't need a dollar card to check your grammar.
❌ Card declined
You've probably seen this too many times
"I'm coming" gets flagged as wrong. "Drop your contact" is an error. These tools don't understand how Nigerians actually write.
"I'm coming now"
❌ Other tools: "Did you mean 'going'?"
75 million Nigerians speak Pidgin. BBC has a Pidgin service. But not a single grammar checker supports it. Until now.
"Wetin dey happen?"
✓ 234Grammar: Correct Pidgin!
We got tired of explaining to international tools how Nigerian English works. So we built our own.
Our Story
It started with a simple frustration. As a Nigerian developer writing daily — code documentation, client emails, blog posts — I kept hitting the same wall: every grammar checker treated Nigerian English like broken English.
“I'm coming” would get flagged. “Hold my hand small” was an error. “Senior man” was apparently wrong. I found myself either ignoring every suggestion or rewriting perfectly natural sentences just to make the tool happy.
And then there was the payment problem. Dollar pricing. Failed cards. The whole wahala of trying to pay for a tool that doesn't even understand how you write.
I thought: “Why am I fighting a tool that's supposed to help me?”
So I built 234Grammar — free, with AI built in, and it actually understands Nigerian English and Pidgin. No more red squiggles under valid expressions. No more dollar cards. Just a tool that works the way we write.

“I built 234Grammar because I needed it myself. Every feature is something I wished existed when I was writing.”
Our Mission
“Make grammar checking accessible, affordable, and culturally relevant for every Nigerian writer”
Free for everyone. No dollar cards. No sign-up required for basic use. Grammar checking that just works.
Built by Nigerians who understand how we speak, write, and communicate — including Pidgin.
Professional-grade grammar checking and AI-powered writing tools, without compromising on Nigerian English.
Values
The principles that guide how we build 234Grammar
We don't treat Nigerian expressions as "errors to fix." Your English isn't broken — it's just different. And that's exactly how it should be.
Grammar checking runs locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device. AI features only send the text you select. We don't store, read, or sell your writing. Ever.
Every feature request matters. We listen to Nigerian writers, students, and creators. This tool exists because of you, and it's shaped by your feedback.
Everything you need is free — grammar checking, AI tools, exports. Pro is just ₦1,500/month for extra storage and support. No hidden fees. No dollar cards.
