If you look around a city like Lagos in Nigeria, it’s easy to see the frustration on the faces of most young adults. Between 1.2 and 2.2 million young Nigerians join the labour force every year, and less than one-third of that number get corporate employment.
These days NYSC has introduced the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development called SAED. Corpers learn a skill (e.g. bead making), and slowly turn that into a business. But there is a greater opportunity.
Currently there are about 90 million Nigerians on the internet, this means that what a seller needs will now be to have a storefront on the internet that he can post inventories to and start growing an online identity and brand for their shop... Potentially you can sell to 90 million Nigerians.

The problem is that there are already existing marketplaces where sellers sell online, however these marketplaces also have inventory of their own and because of that, they starve individual shops of an identity and more importantly their customers cannot return to buy from them because they don't remember them.
Returning customers = Growth.

BUT

Something is cooking, it's called Zoafia, it's a storefront and marketplace that allows sellers to list inventory, sell, grow their shop's online Identity, and keep their customers coming back. Zoafia does not own inventory of its own, therefore won't compete with sellers' shops. If you are a seller, with Zoafia your customers can find your brand easily, they can follow your shop to see every new inventory you have. Zoafia also has a marketplace where your shop will appear once you open your shop. This means that old customers will come back to buy, new customers can discover your shop. THIS IS THE REAL MEANING OF ONLINE BUSINESS GROWTH.
