Ughh ... I typo'd on the title to this SN post, and now it is too late to edit that. Azteco's Twitter account is, of course, @Azteco_.

Wallet of Satoshi does support Lightning Address for spending / withdrawing, however they do not support it for receiving.
Here's another post on SN describing Lightning Address a bit more:
Do you have a Lightning Address yet? Every account on Stacker.News does #7882

So in looking at the service, the amount field has a range of NGN 500 to NGN 9995. That's a range from about $1 to just $20. So this will be useful for certain purposes like smaller remittance payments, and for buyers who dollar cost average, but of limited use for things like travel, vendor payments, trading, etc.
Good to see it be available, though.
