The Concept
Why Wanyiyin is different
Three deliberate choices make Wanyiyin something other than one more dating app: human verification, a token economy, and support from our agency team.
Our story
An answer to a structural problem
What we saw
Dating apps in West Africa share the same structural flaw: fake profiles, safety risks, shallow conversations. Nobody can be sure the person on the other side is real.
The founding idea
Wanyiyin was built around a single obsession: create a space you can trust, where every member is a real, verified person.
Our answer
ID checks done by hand, the Circle system and support from our agency team are the three pillars of an experience nothing else in West Africa offers.
The Circle system
Your Circle sets your visibility
A Circle is a one-off token purchase. No monthly subscription, no automatic renewal. You can move between Circles whenever you like, and the tokens you already own stay yours.

The economics of qualityTokens are not a barrier,
Tokens are not a barrier,
they are a filter
On free apps, anyone can message you in bulk. Here, sending a message costs the sender something, so reaching out is a deliberate act rather than a reflex.

The Agency Service
Beyond the app: people who help
This is what sets Wanyiyin apart. After 72 hours of conversation and mutual interest, a meeting request becomes available in the chat. If both members accept, one of our advisers takes over.
Level 1
Arranging the date
An adviser suggests several time slots and a choice of partner venues approved by our team.
Level 2
Discreet practical support
Booking confirmed, directions sent, and a unique confirmation code to show on arrival.
Level 3
Discreet safety presence
At either member's request, we arrange a discreet presence. An emergency number stays reachable throughout the meeting.
Our partner venues
Fine restaurants, lounges, cultural spaces, rooftop terraces: every venue is a registered business, public or semi-public (never a private place for a first meeting), accessible, and staffed by people trained to look after our members.
Wanyiyin acts as the organising intermediary. Personal safety during an in-person meeting remains each member's own responsibility.
