The rapid shift in the trade system in Nigeria has all been too effective as to be considered guilty of any pitfalls. Granted, online marketing has been a success and with huge market platforms like www.olx.com, www.efritin.com, selling new and used items have become easier and more flexible than at any other time in history. Students owning items they wish to sell off have however long been left out, and have had to continue to rely on scribbling posts about items they want to sell around the walls on campus. Nigeria's #1 student online market place- www.studentsthingy.com has risen up to the plate and is offering every Nigerian student Nigeria's first exclusive student market place. So whether a graduating student wants to sell his assets that will no longer be of need to them or students selling or swapping hostel spaces for their favorite hostel block, it can all be carried out on www.studentsthingy.com.
