Wordpress WP_User_Query Pagination - wordpress

Question

I have a short snippet of code that queries the users of the website based on meta values. The code already works fine and perfect. Now, my only problem here is that I can't seem to figure out how to make the pagination work just like when you use pagination on worpdress posts. Your help means a lot to us. Thank you in advance and more power to stackoverflow
Here's the code that needs to have a pagination:
<ul id="ulfriends">
<?php
// The User Query
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args = array (
'number' => 10,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'sponsor',
'value' => $current_user->user_nicename,
'compare' => '=',
'type' => 'CHAR',
),
),
'count_total' => true,
) );
echo count($user_query->results);
// User Loop
if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
echo '<li>' . $user->first_name . ' ' . $user->last_name . '<br>' . $user->date_activation . '<br>' . get_avatar( $user->user_email, 165 ) . '</li>' ;
}
} else {
echo 'No users found.';
}
?>
</ul>

try this code
<ul id="ulfriends">
<?php
$no=12;// total no of author to display
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
if($paged==1){
$offset=0;
}else {
$offset= ($paged-1)*$no;
}
$user_query = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'Subscriber', 'number' => $no, 'offset' => $offset ) );
if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
echo '<li>' . $user->first_name . ' ' . $user->last_name . '<br>' . $user->date_activation . '<br>' . get_avatar( $user->user_email, 165 ) . '</li>' ;
}
} else {
echo 'No users found.';
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
$total_user = $user_query->total_users;
$total_pages=ceil($total_user/$no);
echo paginate_links(array(
'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
'format' => '?paged=%#%',
'current' => $paged,
'total' => $total_pages,
'prev_text' => 'Previous',
'next_text' => 'Next',
'type' => 'list',
));
?>
