Africa's first indigenous social media platform. Built in Nigeria, for the continent and everyone who calls it home.
African culture is one of the most exported things on earth. Our music fills stadiums on every continent. Our films are watched in languages we never dubbed them into. Our comedy, our fashion, our slang travel further and faster than almost anything else we produce.
And almost none of the platforms carrying it are ours.
That means somebody else decides what gets seen, somebody else keeps the data, and somebody else earns from the attention. When their rules change, our creators find out the same day everyone else does.
CelebIsland exists so that at least one of those platforms belongs to us.
Of Africans, by Africans, for Africa. We are built in the spirit of a United States of Africa one continent, many nations, one shared future. Not a Nigerian platform that tolerates other Africans. A continental one, open to anybody who wants in, wherever in the world they are reading this from.
All of us, or none of us. Every region, every language, every faith, every state. If a platform only works for people in one city, it is not a continental platform. We build for Lagos and for Aba, for Enugu and for Kano, for Accra and for Nairobi, and for the diaspora.
Data for Africa. The information created here is African information. We use it to build better tools for the people who create it, and we tell you exactly how, in plain language, in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal data.
Creators get paid. Attention without income is exploitation with better branding. Everything we build is judged on whether it puts money in a creator's hand.
A social feed, pages and groups. Reels and Watch for video. RadioBanger and Celeb Airwaves for live radio and podcasts. Spaces for live conversation. Campus, with Nigerian universities in their own directory. Market for selling, Jobs for hiring, plus Events, Blog, Forum and a Wallet and Pro membership for people who need more room to work.
CelebIsland is operated by The Xoft Company. It was founded by Kelly Hansome, who spent his working life inside the Nigerian music industry and built this platform because of what he saw there.
