Jumia is not responsible for the pics on their platform.

If that's the case. Then Nigeria should have been sold off by now. Anywhere you go in these country you would see people using foreigners pictures for advertisement without permission. E.g Ronaldo pics for saloon advert, and also different musicians pics too. Bro's no law in Nigeria can back you. We are lawless on that part. Just negotiate and continue to do photoshoot for them.

First the govt perfects framework for suing GSM coys on DND levels, now this? It looks like it's gonna start raining lawsuits and payoffs pretty soon.

But, aren't the various marketers on the platform responsible for whatever media content they use for their displays?

Well, his lawyer's obviously collected an advanced-fee, and he's out here louding it on the net already armed with his understanding of media law. Let's see how it pans out.

Somebody about to get paid

He also wants to use the opportunity to advertise himself.
