New Nigerian Social Media Platform Lekeelekee Launches to Promote African Creativity

Lekeelekee, a new social media platform, is introduced by media executive Nduka Obaigbena in Nigeria. Scheduled to go live in January 2026, the platform aims to challenge the dominance of US and Chinese global content distribution.

Obaigbena emphasizes promoting African creative industries and safeguarding Nigeria's economy from external risks. The platform is designed to be a fast, lightweight, and powerful super app for network communication.

Despite numerous social media platforms available, Lekeelekee aims to offer a unique space for African content creators.
