(TT) – LekeeLekee is a ‘Coming Soon’ social media platform being launched out of Africa, which is intended to serve African users and the world with features built for African realities for low-data and fast performance.
What is LekeeLekee?
- LekeeLekee is a ‘Coming Soon’ social media platform being launched out of Africa, which is intended to serve African users and the world with features built for African realities for low-data and fast performance.
- It is designed to combine features of social media (feeds, video, communities) with messaging, payments, mini-apps, creator monetization and ad tools — essentially aiming to be a hybrid platform, not just a simple social feed.
- The founders or backers are ARISE Media Group and THISDAY Media Group, two media companies with presence in Africa. The platform describes itself as “founded by ARISE & THISDAY Media Group.”
- The name “LekeeLekee” is stylized; it’s often presented with uppercase “L” and repeated (LekeeLekee). The site describes its ambition as “the platform and super app built out of Africa, for the world.” lekeelekee.com
- The platform is currently in private beta mode, with rollout planned in waves.
The Legal & Corporate Structure
- The company is legally incorporated as LekeeLekee Technologies Limited in Nigeria, under Company Registration Number 8622032. lekeelekee.com
- Its registered office is in Abuja, Nigeria. lekeelekee.com
- The “Terms & Privacy” page clarifies that user content remains owned by the user, but by using the service users grant LekeeLekee a license to use, reproduce, distribute, etc., their posted content. lekeelekee.com
- The Terms of Service are governed by Nigerian law, and disputes are in Nigerian courts. lekeelekee.com
The Vision, Mission & Differentiation
- A core thesis is that many global social media / tech platforms are built for high-bandwidth markets and often don’t account for the connectivity constraints in many African regions (data cost, patchy networks). LekeeLekee aims to design around those constraints (low-data, efficient, fast).
- They frame a kind of “digital sovereignty / local ownership” argument: that African users and creators should have platforms built in Africa, with control over infrastructure and value, instead of relying entirely on foreign tech giants.
- They plan to integrate monetization tools, regional ad networks, creator tools, mini-app ecosystems, commerce, payments — effectively a super-app, not just social. lekeelekee.com
