Adverts › Need Someone To Run An Errand In Another City? Here's A Better Way To Outsource by emmanueludu(op): 11:22pm On Jul 04
Every day, thousands of Nigerians face the same challenge.

You need to get something done in a city where you are not physically present.

Maybe you're in Abuja and need someone in Lagos to inspect an apartment before making payment.

Perhaps you're in the UK and need someone in Benin City to collect important documents.

Or maybe you're in Port Harcourt and need someone to buy an item from a market in Ibadan.

The biggest question is always the same.

**Who can I trust?**

Most people end up posting in WhatsApp groups, asking friends on Facebook, or calling relatives to see if anyone knows someone nearby. Sometimes it works. Many times it doesn't.

That is exactly why **Taskeeu** was created.

## What is Taskeeu?

Taskeeu is a platform that allows individuals and businesses to **outsource location-based tasks** to trusted people who are already in the location where the task needs to be completed.

Instead of travelling hundreds of kilometres or relying on random referrals, you simply post your task, set your budget, and qualified local taskers can apply to complete it.

Whether you need someone in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu, Ibadan, Benin City, Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg, or anywhere else in Africa, Taskeeu connects you with people who are already there.

## What Kind of Tasks Can You Outsource?

Taskeeu is not just another delivery platform.

It helps you complete tasks that require someone to be physically present.

Examples include:

* Property inspections before renting or buying.
* Land verification.
* Apartment inspections.
* Business address verification.
* Store visits.
* Market purchases.
* Grocery shopping.
* Picking up forgotten items.
* Collecting certificates or important documents.
* Passport or transcript collection.
* Queueing at government offices.
* Event attendance.
* Taking photos or videos of a location.
* Local research.
* Mystery shopping.
* Business errands.
* Personal errands.
* Family errands.
* Student errands.

If it requires someone to be in a particular location, Taskeeu can help.

## Why Not Just Ask Someone You Know?

Many people don't have family or trusted friends in every city.

Even when they do, people are busy.

Some don't answer calls.

Others simply forget.

With Taskeeu, you can find someone specifically available to complete your task professionally.

## Who Uses Taskeeu?

Taskeeu is useful for:

* Nigerians living abroad.
* Busy professionals.
* Business owners.
* Students.
* Property buyers.
* Land investors.
* HR teams.
* Churches.
* NGOs.
* Parents.
* Online shoppers.
* Companies expanding into new cities.

## Need Someone to Inspect a Property Before You Pay?

Property fraud is one of the biggest problems in Nigeria.

Before sending hundreds of thousands or even millions of naira, wouldn't you rather have someone physically visit the location first?

A local tasker can:

* Confirm the property exists.
* Take recent photos and videos.
* Verify the address.
* Speak with occupants or agents.
* Report back before you make payment.

Sometimes one inspection can save you from losing a significant amount of money.

## Need Someone to Buy Something in Another City?

Maybe a product is only available in Lagos.

Maybe a local market in Aba has what you're looking for.

Maybe a seller won't ship.

Instead of travelling, simply outsource the task to someone already in that city.

## Need Someone to Collect Documents?

Many Nigerians need help with:

* University transcripts.
* Certificates.
* Government documents.
* Business paperwork.
* Personal document pickup.

Instead of taking time off work or travelling long distances, let someone nearby complete the task.

## Why Businesses Can Benefit

Businesses also spend time and money sending employees across cities for simple tasks.

Taskeeu makes it possible to outsource:

* Site inspections.
* Vendor verification.
* Branch visits.
* Customer verification.
* Local errands.
* Business research.

This saves both time and travel costs.

## Looking for an Errand Service in Nigeria?

If you've searched Google for:

* Errand service Nigeria
* Hire someone in Lagos
* Personal assistant Nigeria
* Property inspection Nigeria
* Document pickup service
* Business verification Nigeria
* Someone to run errands
* Hire a local tasker
* Remote errand service
* Outsource tasks in Nigeria

then Taskeeu was built with exactly these needs in mind.

## Join Thousands of Future Task Posters Across Africa

Whether you need someone to inspect a property, collect documents, purchase an item, verify a business, visit a location, or complete an important errand, Taskeeu helps you find trusted people already in that location.

Visit **https://www.taskeeu.com** today.

Post your first task.

Save yourself the stress of travelling.

Let someone already there get it done for you.

Adverts › Birthday Coming Up? Create A Free Online Group Card & Let Friends Surprise You by emmanueludu(op): 11:35pm On Jul 03
One thing I noticed is that many of us receive birthday wishes across different places. Some come on WhatsApp, some on Facebook, some on LinkedIn, while others send private messages. After a few days, everything gets buried.

I recently discovered a platform called Thankeeu.com where you can create a beautiful online birthday card and simply share one link with your friends, family, classmates, colleagues, or church members.

Everyone can add:

* 🎉 Birthday wishes
* 📸 Photos
* 🎥 Videos
* 🎙️ Voice notes
* 🎁 Monetary gifts (optional)

Instead of sending messages everywhere, all the love is collected in one place for you to keep forever.

You can also create one for your friend, spouse, colleague, sibling, or parent and surprise them.

It takes just a few minutes to create.

👉 https://www.thankeeu.com

Here's a sample card so you can see how it works:
👉 https://www.thankeeu.com/sample

If your birthday is coming up, give it a try. You might be surprised by how many heartfelt messages your friends have been waiting to share.

Feel free to share this with anyone celebrating a birthday soon.

Taskeeu (formerly selbolt) is recruiting 10,000 Professional Taskers across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and every other African country.

* Purchase an item from a local market or store.

If you're reliable, professional, and looking for flexible earning opportunities, we'd love to have you.

Adverts › Why Is It Still Difficult To Find Someone Reliable To Run Errands In Nigeria? by emmanueludu(op): 2:00am On Jun 30
Whether it's picking up documents, buying groceries, inspecting an apartment before paying, helping elderly parents, queueing at government offices or moving items across town, many Nigerians still rely on WhatsApp contacts and referrals.

Sometimes nobody is available.

Sometimes the person disappoints.

Sometimes you don't even know who to trust.

That's exactly why we built Taskeeu.

Instead of asking random people online, simply post your task and let available professionals apply.

You remain in control of who you hire 👉 https://www.taskeeu.com
Adverts › How Boma And Chukwuemeka Almost Lost 200 Wedding Messages Because Of Whatsapp by emmanueludu(op): 7:47pm On Jun 26
People, I have gist for you today. Serious gist. The kind that will make you laugh, shake your head, and then quickly save a link before you close this tab.

My friend Boma got married in December. Beautiful girl, Boma. Delta State girl with the kind of smile that can settle an argument. Her husband Chukwuemeka — Emeka for short — is Anambra. The wedding was in Lagos. Everything about this story is very Nigerian, so stay with me.

I was one of her chief bridesmaids. So I was in the inner circle. I saw everything. And I am here to tell you exactly what happened, because I think many of you are about to make the same mistake she almost made.

Three weeks before the wedding, Boma's aunty — Aunty Chisom, the organised one in the family — suggested they create a WhatsApp group where people could send wedding messages and contributions for the couple. Beautiful idea. Very thoughtful.

The group started with 30 people. Then 60. Then 112. Then somehow 200 and something. I do not know how Nigerians find their way into groups but they always do.

At first it was sweet. People were sending beautiful messages. "May your home be filled with joy." "God will bless your union." "Emeka you better treat our daughter well o!" The usual. Boma was screenshotting everything and smiling.

Then the chaos started.

First it was Uncle Biodun from Ibadan who sent a voice note that was eleven minutes long. Eleven. Minutes. In a group of 200 people. Then five people replied to the voice note with their own voice notes. Then someone started arguing that the wedding date clashed with a football match. Then another person was asking for the account number for the asoebi. Then someone's child somehow sent 47 stickers in a row.

By the time Boma tried to go back and find the heartfelt message her grandmother sent from the village — the one Mama wrote in broken English with so much love it made everyone cry — it was completely buried. Gone. Swallowed by arguments about aso-ebi colours and voice notes from people nobody could identify.

She called me crying one night. Not wedding stress crying. Genuine grief crying. "Uju, I cannot find what Mama wrote. I have been scrolling for one hour."

We scrolled together for another 45 minutes. We never found it.

Boma's younger sister, Tari — small girl, big brain, the one who is always on her phone — was watching us scroll and said very quietly: "You know there is a better way to do this, right?"

Tari had attended a friend's wedding in Port Harcourt where the bride did something different. Instead of a WhatsApp group, she used a platform called Thankeeu

The bride sent one link to all her guests. Just one link. Everyone — family in the UK, friends in Abuja, old schoolmates in Canada, church members in Lagos — clicked the same link and added their own message. Not in a group. On their own private message card. With their name attached. Photos. Some people recorded voice notes. Some sent GIFs. And all of it stayed in one beautiful place, organised, forever.

Boma stopped crying. "Wait. Send me that link."

Tari helped Boma set up a Thankeeu card that same night. It took less than ten minutes. She chose the wedding design — there was a beautiful one with gold and white that looked like it was made for them. She typed in a short message at the top explaining what she wanted people to do. Then she added Emeka's name and hers.

She got a link.

Just a link.

She copied it and sent it to the family WhatsApp groups. Not a new group — just a link in the existing groups. "Please click this link and drop your wedding message for me and Emeka. It takes two minutes and no account is needed."

Within 24 hours, 67 people had signed.

Within 72 hours, it was over 140.

Her grandmother in the village — the same Mama whose message got buried in the WhatsApp chaos — her daughter helped her type a new message on the card. Mama wrote two paragraphs in Urhobo, then her daughter translated it into English underneath. It sat there, beautiful, with Mama's name on it, for anyone to see.

Emeka's father, who is a very serious Igbo man who does not do emotions in public, recorded a voice note on the card. When Emeka heard it on their wedding night, he had to go to the bathroom for five minutes. His mother told me later that Baba had recorded it four times before he was satisfied. Four times. The man who never cries, recorded four voice notes for his son's wedding card.

Their friend in Birmingham sent a video of herself and four other of Boma's university friends singing a wedding song they composed themselves. A whole song. With harmonies. Because they could attach it directly to the card.

Now here is the part that really got everybody.

You know how Nigerian weddings have the contribution issue. People want to give money but the logistics are always scattered. Someone posts an account number, 40 people send to different accounts, someone's transfer bounces, another person sends the wrong amount, the couple is trying to reconcile payments during their honeymoon.

Thankeeu has a gift pot feature built right into the card.

Aunty Chisom — the same aunty who started the original WhatsApp group — discovered this feature and personally mobilised the family. She told everyone: "Instead of sending money randomly, add it to the gift pot on the card. That way Boma and Emeka receive everything in one place."

By the wedding day, the gift pot had over ₦180,000 in it. From family members in Nigeria, in the UK, in the US, in Canada. Everyone paid through the platform using their local payment method — Nigerian guests paid with their bank cards and USSD, the ones abroad paid in their own currency. The couple received everything cleanly to their account.

Aunty Chisom cried when she saw the final number. She said, "This is the first time in my life I have organised a contribution and nothing got lost."

At the wedding reception, Boma and Emeka did something I have never seen at a Nigerian wedding before.

They set up a screen at the venue. And they opened the Thankeeu.com card on the screen.

The DJ lowered the music. And the couple scrolled through their messages together, in front of everyone. Reading out names. Playing voice notes through the speakers. Showing the video from Birmingham. The whole hall went quiet — 300 people, quiet — to watch two people read their wedding messages in real time.

When they played Baba's voice note — Emeka's father who never shows emotion — you could hear it clearly through the speakers. His voice was shaking slightly. He said, "My son. I am proud of the man you have become. Take care of this woman the way your mother has shown you. I am watching."

I am not ashamed to tell you that I cried. And I was wearing full glam makeup. It was a disaster.

But it was the most human moment I have ever witnessed at a wedding.

If you are engaged right now, or you have a friend who is planning a wedding, please share this post with them.

Here is what Boma said to me after the honeymoon. She said: "Uju, the dress, the food, the decor — I do not remember the details as clearly anymore. But I remember every single message on that card. I have read them fifty times. That card is the only part of my wedding that I can carry with me forever."

Go to thankeeu.com. Create a wedding card for yourself. It takes less than ten minutes and you do not need any technical knowledge. Share the link with your family and friends the same way you would share your wedding hashtag or your asoebi details.

Let people write to you properly. Let Mama record her blessing in her own voice. Let your university friends send their inside jokes. Let your father-in-law say the thing he has been meaning to say. Let it all live in one place, forever, where nothing gets buried by arguments about aso-ebi and football schedules.

Your WhatsApp group will still exist. Your messages will still scatter. That is Nigeria, and we accept it.

But your Thankeeu.com wedding card will be there in ten years. When your children ask what people said when you got married. When you want to hear your grandmother's voice again. When you need to remember that on that day, 200 people stopped everything they were doing to tell you they loved you.

That is worth ten minutes of your time.
Adverts › How I Helped My Colleague Receive ₦180,000 In Birthday Gifts From 36 Coworkers by emmanueludu(op): 6:23am On Jun 21
Fellow corpers, let me talk to una about something wey dey pain all of us.

Every 3 weeks for CDS, someone is leaving. Your platoon commander is rounding up. Your CDS coordinator finished her year. Your batch mates are passing out. Someone is sick in camp. Your host family did something nice.

And every single time, the same thing happens:
"People let's contribute for Aunty Blessing, minimum ₦1,000, send to 0123456789 GTB before Thursday"
Then the drama begins. Who has sent, who hasn't sent, who sent ₦500 instead of ₦1,000, who said they'll send tomorrow and didn't, who blocked the collector on WhatsApp because they don't want to send.

By the time you gather the money, the person has almost finished their service year.

I found a way to make this cleaner and I want to share it with corpers specifically because we deal with this more than anyone.
Thankeeu (thankeeu.com) lets you:

Create a group card with a link — share it on your corper WhatsApp group. Everyone clicks it, writes their message, adds a photo from camp (those camp photos from orientation are priceless), and contributes any amount via their phone — no account number needed, no bank transfer stress, they pay with their card or USSD right there.

The person gets a beautiful card with all the messages and photos on whatever day you choose. They can withdraw the money collected straight to their account.

For a platoon of 30 corpers contributing ₦1,000 each that's ₦30,000 — properly collected, no drama, no one carrying anyone's money.
I've seen corpers use it for:

Passing out gifts for batch mates
Farewell cards for platoon commanders
Get well soon cards for sick corpers
Baby shower cards for pregnant corpers
Thank you cards for host families

If you're currently serving, try it for your next CDS collection. It will save your life and your relationship with your fellow corpers.
Any corpers here? What state are you serving in?
Career › HR Managers In Nigeria — How Are You Currently Handling Employee Birthday Cards? by emmanueludu(op): 12:51am On Jun 20
I want to have an honest conversation with HR professionals and People Ops people on this forum.

How are you currently handling employee birthdays and special occasions like:

Leaving/retirement celebrations
Work anniversaries
Promotions
New baby congratulations
Get well soon for sick staff

Because from what I've seen across companies in Lagos, it falls into one of these categories:
The WhatsApp Collection Method

Someone creates a group or sends a broadcast. People send money to one person's personal account. That person manually tracks who has and hasn't sent. Chases people. Eventually buys something. Very stressful, very manual, very dependent on one person's goodwill.
The Paper Card Method

HR prints or buys a card, it goes desk to desk for signatures. For remote or hybrid teams this is basically impossible. By the time the card gets back half the people have left for the day. Some people write the same generic "happy birthday!" because they don't know the person well.
The Do Nothing Method

The company just ignores it. No card, no collection, nothing. Employee feels invisible. Affects morale and retention.
The Expensive HR Software Method

Some global platforms do this but they don't support Naira, they don't support Nigerian banks, and they cost $5-15 per employee per month which is ₦8,000 - ₦25,000 per employee per year. Makes no sense for Nigerian companies.

I've been working on a Nigerian solution to this — Thankeeu.com for Teams. It connects to your staff list, automatically creates and circulates group cards for occasions, lets everyone contribute to a gift pot via Flutterwave, and the recipient withdraws directly to their bank account.

I'd love to hear how HR people on here are currently handling this. What's working, what's not, what would your ideal solution look like?

This is genuine research — not trying to sell anything, just trying to understand the problem better.
Romance › How I Organised A Surprise Birthday Card For My Girlfriend From All Her Friends by emmanueludu(op): 12:43am On Jun 20
My girlfriend's birthday was last month. She's the kind of person who always organises things for everyone else and never expects anything in return. I wanted to do something she'd actually remember.

The idea: get all her close friends to write her heartfelt birthday messages, collect money from everyone, and have it waiting for her when she wakes up on her birthday morning.

The problem: organising 25 women on WhatsApp is harder than organising a small country.

I couldn't add everyone to a WhatsApp group because she'd see it. I couldn't send a broadcast because some of her friends have her on their broadcast list and she'd hear about it. One of her friends almost ruined everything in 2021 when someone screenshot a surprise party planning group and sent it to the person.
So I found a different way.

I used a platform called Thankeeu.com . Here's exactly what I did:

I created a card on thankeeu.com — chose a birthday design, put her name, wrote a short note explaining to everyone what I was doing
I got a private signing link — only people with the link could see and sign it

I sent the link individually to 24 of her friends via DM with a note: "Don't tell Shade, this is a surprise, sign the card and add a message, you can also contribute to her gift if you want, deadline is Wednesday night"

Over 3 days, 21 out of 24 people signed. They added messages, some added photos of their memories together, two added voice notes
I set the delivery for 7am on her birthday

She woke up to an email with a card full of 21 personal messages, photos, and ₦156,000 in a gift wallet she could withdraw to her bank

She called me at 7:15am crying.

The whole thing cost me ₦5,000 for the card fee. The friends contributed the rest.

For anyone planning something similar — the key is the private link. Nobody can stumble on it. The person only gets the card when you decide to send it. You control everything.

thankeeu.com if you want to try it. Works for birthdays, anniversaries, farewells, anything.
Adverts › How We Collect Office Birthday Money On Whatsapp And Why It's A Complete Nightma by emmanueludu(op): 12:36am On Jun 20
Make I gist una something wey happen for my office last month.

My colleague Tunde's birthday was on a Friday. Our team lead sent a message on Monday — "people let's collect money and get Tunde something nice, minimum ₦2,000 per person, send to my GTBank account 0123456789."
Simple enough right?

By Wednesday only 8 out of 23 people had sent. The team lead is now sending follow-up messages. Some people are ignoring. One person sent ₦1,000 instead of ₦2,000. Two people said they'll send "later." One person accidentally sent to the wrong account.
By Thursday night we had ₦22,500 out of a potential ₦46,000.

Friday morning — Tunde is in the office. We haven't bought anything yet. Someone runs to shoprite at lunch. We get a cake and a perfume. We sing happy birthday in the conference room. Tunde smiles and says thank you. Inside him he probably wondered why 15 people didn't bother.
The team lead is now personally owed ₦13,500 by 9 different colleagues. She will spend the next 2 weeks chasing people.
This is the story of EVERY office birthday in Nigeria.

I got so tired of this pattern that I actually built something to fix it. It's called Thankeeu.com
Here's how it works:

You create a card online (takes 2 minutes)
You share one link on WhatsApp
Everyone clicks the link, types their message, adds a photo or voice note, and contributes any amount they want via card or bank transfer
The birthday person gets an email on their birthday with a beautiful card containing all the messages
They log in and withdraw all the money directly to their bank account

No chasing. No sending to personal accounts. No awkward "have you sent?" messages. No team lead carrying anyone's money.
We've had groups of 40+ people sign one card and pool over ₦200,000 for one person.

I'm sharing this because I know at least 10 people on this thread have the same problem every month. You can check it out at thankeeu.com — the card creation is free, you only pay a small fee when you're ready to send it.

Events › Re: Event Planners, Pls Update Your Contacts. by emmanueludu: 9:50am On Jun 16
UPDATE: For your birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, convocations , weddings and so on, there is a webapp called https://Thankeeu.com now that you can use to collect heartfelt messages, wishes, voice notes, videos, GIFs, pictures and gifts all in one place through a simple sharable link, instead of having them scattered all over social media every year.

We miss a lot of important messages, and gifts on our birthdays. It works in and out of Nigeria and accepts naira payments. There are other alternatives like Thankbox.com, but it's too complicated for our setting.
