Big launch at the office today!
So you see, HR technology in Africa has largely been built for people who sit at a desk, whereas most of Africa's workforce doesnโt. Even the guys who do, sometimes donโt want to log in to a whole new system to carry out simple tasks.
So today, @getPaidHR is launching WhatsApp and USSD access across Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. Employees can now check or download their payslips, request leave and access their earned wages without downloading an app or logging into a portal.
For employers, this means every worker gets the same HR experience as your office staff, whether they are on a site, in a warehouse, at a branch or on a shift. It needs no new hardware and no new app.
Personally, this is a massive milestone for me. Iโve always wanted to break the barriers and obstacles of adoption on our platform and Iโm more than proud of the team who worked on this to give thousands of people on the PaidHR platform more access to the life-improving tools we built for them. Shout out to @lekanutty and the whole team.
Introduce me to your HR team, finance or ops teams. Letโs elevate the work experience for you and them.

Lagos Life launched on October 1st. Just 9 days later, over 4.7 million people have played the game.
Today, Iโm excited to announce that Vatar, the parent company behind Lagos Life, has closed a $500K angel round led by AB Hassan (@ijbguy), Nathan Nwachuku (@_KingNath), and GB Agboola (@TechProd_Arch).
Lagos is just the beginning. Weโre building entire worlds, and thereโs so much more to come. ๐

1) I am a proud father today.
The young woman behind Lagos Life, the phenomenal game that pulled in over 2 million players in its first days, started her tech journey in our nondescript training room in Aba, Abia
Her name is Shalom. This is her story & ours.
This is a thread 1/25
This is amazing! Africa has incredible talent, and stories like this remind us of whatโs possible when we give young people the right opportunities. Would love to connect and explore how we can help scale this even further. ๐๐๐ฟ
