Nigerian-owned messaging app, SoftTalk Messenger, is empowering African content creators with a new monetization program that rewards engagement and community building, while preserving users’ privacy.
Developed by Simple Azenabor, a Japan-based Nigerian software engineer, SoftTalk Messenger is fast positioning itself as Africa’s answer to global messaging giants, combining secure communication with income-generating opportunities for creators.
In a statement to introduce the monetization program, Azenabor said group administrators and digital community leaders can also earn directly from audience engagement through the SoftTalk Creator Partner Program.
The statement reads: “SoftTalk Messenger, the Nigerian-Owned messaging app redefining digital communication, is making waves with its creator-first monetization program and privacy-enhanced features.
“Developed by visionary Nigerian Japan-based developer, Simple Azenabor, SoftTalk Messenger is rapidly becoming the go-to platform for creators seeking income, independence, and impact.
“SoftTalk Messenger’s Creator Partner Program rewards creators for building active, engaging group chats. With earnings based on engagement scores, calculated monthly; creators can now turn conversations into sustainable income by joining SoftTalk Creator Program.”
“You create. You engage. You deserve to earn,” says Azenabor.
“SoftTalk Creator Partner is built to honor the value creators bring to digital communities.”
On the platform’s privacy-first communication, the Nigerian developer noted, “Unlike traditional messaging platforms, SoftTalk Messenger allows users to chat and call without revealing their phone numbers. By using @usernames, creators and users alike enjoy enhanced privacy and protection from spam and identity breaches.”
He added, “SoftTalk Messenger is designed with African users in mind, solving long-standing challenges in communication, commerce, and now content creator monetization. From secure messaging to marketplace tools, the app empowers users to find & meet new friends, trade, and grow—without borders.

On how creators can now earn without middlemen, Azenabor said, “For creators, SoftTalk Messenger introduces a game-changing advantage: direct monetization.

SoftTalk eliminates this barrier, allowing creators to earn & keep 100% directly from their engagement, with no intermediaries.”
