For Nigerians abroad still tied into the financial life back home: the contributions, the pools, the family obligations, the small monies that hold the long distance together.
You left, but you didn't leave. Lagos is a flight away, and so is your mother's birthday, and your cousin's wedding, and the family ajo your aunt has been running for fifteen years. The money still moves between you and home, only now it crosses currencies, time zones, and the awkwardness of not being there.
This page is for that part of your life. The part that hasn't gone anywhere.
The asoebi pool for a wedding you can't attend. The school fees you're contributing to for a niece you've only met twice. The savings circle that has six members in Lagos and you in Los Angeles, where they meet on Sunday afternoons and you join the WhatsApp chat from your living room at 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
The exchange rate that always seems to move against you. The remittance fees that, over a year, add up to one decent flight home. The way contributions take three days to arrive sometimes, and you spend those three days quietly worried about whether the bank stopped the transfer or only delayed it.
And underneath all of it: the gap between being part of and being there. The financial life back home is one of the most concrete ways the gap closes. When the money lands and the family knows it's from you, the distance is shorter than it was that morning.
Kehbar keeps one shared record, the same on your screen abroad and theirs in Lagos. Money that moves through Kehbar is in Naira, handled by licensed Nigerian banks, so if your family ajo runs in Naira and you fund from a Naira account, you contribute like anyone at home. And when you send money another way, in pounds, euros, or dollars from your bank abroad, you record it in Kehbar so both sides see it land. Kehbar doesn't convert currencies; it keeps the totals honest, whichever route the money took.
For circles where you're a member but not the admin, Kehbar makes the participation effortless. You see the same picture as everyone else: whose turn it is, when contributions are due, what's been paid. You contribute when prompted; payouts arrive in your account when your turn comes. You're as present as the person sitting in Lagos, even if you're thousands of miles away.
For one-off contributions (wedding asoebi, a school fee top-up, a cousin's emergency) you create an agreement and send the invitation. If it runs in Naira and you fund from a Naira account, the money moves through Kehbar; otherwise you send it your usual way and record it, so both sides see the same thing.
You'll receive an invitation by email. Accept it, link your bank account, and you're in. The first contribution gives you a sense of how it'll run; from there, it's the same rhythm as the rest of the group.
If you're starting something (a contribution to a sibling's wedding, a regular send to a parent) you can create the agreement and invite the other party. Money that moves through Kehbar is in Naira; anything you send another way, you record, so the running total stays complete.
The contributions, the pools, the family obligations, held cleanly across the distance, in the same picture both sides can see.
