Bad market, but seriously online shopping is not an African thing (I think) due to fear of being scammed.
It's an African thing, goto Nipost and see for yourself. Everyone is now shopping on Aliexpress. Jumia killed their business with lies and deceit. You'll see a bag for 1k and buy it, only for them to bring a toy bag for you! Haven't you seen their ads? iPhone 11 440k now #1000, very deceitful ads. They hide their description from very important information just so that you'll buy it and if it's not what you wanted returning it will be so difficult.

Nigerians should not panic, Nigerian market is the largest consumer market in the world after US, China and India. It will surprise you to know that Nigerian market is more profitable than UK, Germany, French markets combined.


And even if Jumia shuts down in Nigeria, it will be good news for local Nigerian merchants who now run their own e-commerce websites, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and even WhatsApp direct marketing to the ever increasing Nigerian consumer market, but I don't see Jumia leaving Nigeria anytime sooner....if Konga couldn't shutdown with all the losses and management failures some years back, Jumia will not leave Nigeria soonest.



Meanwhile, we can help you buy and ship from China, Turkey to Nigeria....and we can also help you to ship from USA to Nigeria.

And if you are a big organization, big importer who ships directly to Nigeria from any country, Mimilogs Nigeria can help you clear the goods faster and cheaper than ever!

Chat us on WhatsApp or visit our website for detail...check profile pic wink

High level of illiteracy is why many of these startups are closing shop in Africa.
Many of these products are meant for literate minds and not just educated fellows that fills the landscape of Africa.

Ohk, I understand now.
It's true tho.They should have solidified on their stronger markets like Nigeria, Egypt,SA , Kenya etc.. instead of chasing artificial growth throughout the continent.
How can their services still be poor in Nigeria and they'll be burning resources expanding into countries like Tanzania and Cameroon.

That's it... A lot of orientation needs to be done. Policies need to be put in place too.

Yeah. That's why at KwaraSell.com the model enables people to buy from sellers that they already know.
Like you can easily buy from your favorite restaurants, pharmacies or boutique etc by merely visiting their SmartShop on KwaraSell.com...with doorstep delivery of just N200 anywhere within a city!

Amazing, yeah?

Their services are relatively poor and their delivery agents are somewhat unprofession. They have a habit of begging for tips and sometimes unofficially rescheduling deliveries. Also on several occasions, my orders were cancelled without notice. I got sick of them and moved to Konga. I have made so many purchases on konga and have never been disappointed.

You might also want to check out KwaraSell.com... wink

Well educated, trained and professional delivery men and women. And delivery is just N200 anywhere in a city.

Plus no fear of scamming...since you will be buying from your already known sellers.
Or quality verified new sellers.

The same items being sold on Jumia is same sold on Amazon, eBay,etc......what's killing Jumia and every other business in Africa is lack of middle-class population. So long as poor population is less than middle-class population in Nigeria and Africa, every business established in these environments will continue to suffer unless they are linked to government funding, sadly cry
