Jakada was built by Nigerians in the diaspora who were tired of asking favours and losing sleep over things left undone in Lagos.
You’re in London or Houston. Your parents’ property in Lagos hasn’t been checked in months. A document needs collecting from LASRRA. You need to send something meaningful for your cousin’s graduation — but sourcing it from abroad is impossible.
You ask a cousin. They’re busy. You ask again. It falls through. You worry. You feel guilty. You let it slide — until next time.
“We built the service we always wished existed.”
— Jakada founding team
A platform connecting you with verified, on-the-ground taskers in Lagos who complete physical tasks on your behalf — with proof.
You book online
Fill in your task in minutes. No account needed. Pay securely by card.
We match a tasker
A vetted Lagos-based tasker accepts within the hour and receives your full brief.
Live WhatsApp updates
Real-time messages, photos, and video as the task progresses. On your phone, wherever you are.
You confirm & release
Happy with the result? Confirm and your tasker gets paid. Simple.
Four principles that shape every decision we make.
Radical accountability
Every task is documented with photos, videos, and timestamped updates. Your tasker checks in at each stop. Nothing happens off the record.
Vetted, not just listed
NIN and BVN verified. In-person onboarded. Guarantors on file. We know who our taskers are — and so do they.
Your money is safe
Payment sits in escrow until you confirm the task is done. Auto-confirmed after 6 hours if you don't respond. You're always in control.
Built for the diaspora
We speak your language — literally and figuratively. We know what it means to have things left undone back home.
Book a task in under 5 minutes. No account needed. Pay only when you confirm it’s done.
