South Africans are bigots. First it was PayPal, then MTN and their exorbitant data and call plans, and now OLX has sacked Nigerians from their jobs. Retards

not south African but Buhari government and his stupid and myopic policy keep pushing companies out of the country.

So many multinationals have closed business in Nigeria hurting our FDI. My Pvc will surely vote out the incompetence

This is an opportunity for any vibrant entrepreneur to tap into... olx came up as alternative to Craigslist... let's av a replacement. Jiji would av bn, d site and app are tiring. Not well programmed

Have you heard of the alternative to ebay?

See link below and in my signature.

nonxo007:

My brother pls calm down, its not south Africans fault, is it that we Nigerian don't have the brain to start up companies like these ?? But the way the country is structured and run its almost impossible, no funding etc...so let's blame ourselves than blame south Africans

One has actually started. It's the Nigerian altenative to ebay. Even better your money is protected.

Na wa ooo...But at least they will stop charging me 10k per month for posting my cars on their site.. Glory be to God

nex:
Let them say the truth. 419 fraud is too much in Nigeria. Too many people were defrauded via OLX, and this reduced patronage. They too failed to do background checks on sellers, and apply systems which could stem fraud.

Exactly the issues we have addressed in the Nigerian altenative to ebay.

Nobody will charge you anything to post your car in the Nigerian alternative to ebay. See link below and in my signature.

We Nigerians should develop an enduring alternative business instead of just whining...

After all the talk about TSTV being an alternative to DSTV there's nothing to show for it

We have developed an alternative to ebay. See link below.

lakesider:
The truth of the matter is that non functiona of nipost killed Olx .in other countries , the post is the backbone of online business

NIPOST works...I'm a witness. Infact I recommend them for parcel delivery service. Ask and use their registered parcel delivery service. Emphasis on REGISTERED. Sell any thing and every thing to anybody anywhere in the country. See link below and in my signature.

At least we still have Jiji and Efritin, let's just pray they don't toe the same path.

Forget OLX since Zokija is leading the way in naija but only for phones and tabs I guess .

frankobaba:
SEE WETIN BUHARI AND HIM SUFFER HEAD GOVERNMENT DE CAUSE. VERY SOON WE WILL ALL LEAVE NIGERIA FOR HIM TO RULE HIMSELF ALONE.

Yes we'll do that

Bros if I hear! No let people swear for you ooo, olx help so many people including me....

lol.... olx started too free... a hundred naira from every add could av sustain it... check how ebay runs.... ebay has a percentage on every add. Olx is a digital venture, no continual investment except for maintenance and staffing. They av no reason to fold up.... have u observed dey now have adds on d site, after every adds picture... this ought to av bn in place for a while... i think d strategies employed were not dat ok... imagine top up adds sell for 1000 upward... most Nigerians don't like spending dat much... d fee could av bn 500., just like recharge card. More Nigerians will buy.

Banned my two emails already

OjaIbadan is here as a newly created free classified ads platform. Let's patronize our own. Enough is Enough.

You saw no reason to remain in my country, I saw no reason to keep you in my phone

Letoma:
why will they not close their Nigerian office, Internet fraudsters from Nigerian have hijacked, the platform, for too long,and they become helpless, the last options is for them to close it.

DriveByKiller.. This another one

They didn't fold up

They left a hostile business environment

still operating in other countries ...exact same model.
EBay or kachikwu is not the model OLX wants to run on.

Just like the international airlines, Colgate & several other companies have relocated to Ghana (maybe you have story for them too?)

Nigeria is a very hostile business environment, don't screw yourself up!

so I should quote those who share my own opinion as a proof too?

For every 419 you find in OLX, you have also in jiji. And they don't even number 20%.

You are being economical with the truth . atleast there are almost 60% scammers there and most things you buy are faulty .

you ever bought anything fake on olx? I haven’t. Even when I buy by proxy. It simply means you paid before getting your hands on the goods or couldn’t decipher a fake product from a genuine one.

60% of scammers in olx!!! You have to be shiiting me.

I have bought an iPad there before, I had to give it out when it became a nuisance and won't work well. I won't say what I haven't experienced. Its been long they wanted to sell OLX. I once heard from a reliable source that payporte was approached to buy olx but they refused. Why did u think they rejected it
