@Rodgers, good point. Although to be fair, Subomibaba did say that BuyCommonThings promised to expand to the mainland this year. So we should probably keep opur fingers crossed, mmmm?

SubomiBaba: @feelamong: what you said is true--as long as you are not talking of groceries and household items. For groceries, the BABA to beat is BuyCommonThings.com. Their prices are way, way, way cheaper than Konga.com's in groceries and household items--as much as 45% cheaper for some products! And they deliver SAME-DAY--generally, about 8 hours after your order--and 100% free!!!! *screaminnnggggg* And their service is matchless and unbeatable. (Only problem for now is that they presently only serve the Islands but have indicated they will be covering the whole of Lagos by the middle of this year.) Their prices are even cheaper than ShopRite's! Can you beat that?

Interesting! We will check them out...thanks SubomiBaba!

Have you ever had an experience where you got a discount or a price reduction on your flight?

I know most of us must be looking for the perfect opportunity to fly out of the country (within Africa or abroad), especially in this yuletide season. Truth is, even I want to travel sef.

But the cost itself is killing! I got some tips for flying out of the country cheaply, and wrote about it here: http://quicksell.com.ng/how-to-get-cheap-flights-from-nigeria-this-new-year/

Still, I am not satisfied. Has anyone experienced any cheap flight rates lately? Please let us know.

Thanks!

Jcob, true that. I wonder if you left them a complaint though? Most times, they might need feedback to know just what they are doing wrong.

feelamong: I have used both..Jumia prices are just not it; for someone that is price sensitive, Konga is the place to shop. Moreover I found Konga service a lot better, they deliver within 24 hrs. The only drawback for Konga is the fact that they do not have a wide array of goods to sell. This is exactly where Jumia beats them hands down!

@feelamong, thanks for that bit of information. I'm sure the newbie shoppers would take a cue.

SO, kerie_lily, how would you feel if Jumia closed business indefinitely today?

Jcob: I will give it to Konga.com. Got my orders delivered in less than 24 hrs, well arranged and cash on delivery. Tried using Jumia but had to cancel my orders when i didnt get delivery on the 10th day. Konga understands the market better in terms of efficiency and effectiveness!

How many times did you use Jumia? And were there any apologies from Jumia? Technically though, Jumia has a 14-day delivery schedule sha...

In terms of organization and cataloguing, Jumia trumps Konga. With respect to diversity, Jumia wins again.

What about with respect to website design? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

How we came about this review? Well, QuickSell watches all major and minor businesses in Nigeria, and we gather periodic reports on them and showcase the best discounts around. Our job is never complete, though.

Which has the best discounts? Jumia or Konga? http://quicksell.com.ng/jumiavskonga/

It's Christmas season, and while we are shopping, we always try to keep the need for discounts and bonanzas at the back of our minds.

If you do not know Jumia already, are an online shopping mall, and the same definition goes for Konga.com. barely a year old in Nigeria, they are quickly growing to prominent positions in the eShopping business.

But which of them will you rather shop with? Click Here to read a comparison of the two sites and drop your thoughts: http://quicksell.com.ng/jumiavskonga/

Nobody is perfect, this is another reason there is no perfect relationship, we can only learn to cope, tolerate, and deal with one another mutually, so also understanding our differences. However, we should always thank God for our imperfection because that makes us human.

It is not only ladies that use guys, guys are also involved in such act, but its rampant among ladies. You can keep having issues with her, thinking why everything seems not to be working out in the relationship.
You never can tell, she might be using you.

1. Think about the time you spend with this person. What is the conversation like? Are you usually doing things that interest both of you or is it more one-sided? Look for some warning signs. If the majority of your time with the person involves you hanging around with their friends and never spending time just the two of you, then that person may be using you. If your conversation is empty and hollow, then there’s a chance this person doesn’t enjoy your company at all and is in fact using you.


2. Next, ask yourself what this person could be using you for. Do they have low self-esteem? Are they insecure? In this case, ask the girl about her history. If she has had many relationships that usually do not last long, then there’s a good chance she’s insecure about herself. She feels as if she needs to have a significant other and does not really care who that person is as long as it’s somebody. So, if there’s been an abnormally large amount of former relationships, take that as a huge warning sign.

3. Is money involved? There are many situations where people use other people for money. Are you constantly buying things for this person? Do you always pay when you go out and do things with this person? Does this person respect you, your time and your money, when you do spend time with them? If you find yourself constantly paying for everything, there’s a chance the girl may be using you. In addition, if you are always doing what she wants to do, such as always seeing the movies she want to see, that is also a warning sign you are being used. There should be a happy medium. Today, the rigid gender-roles of more conservative days are no longer the status quo. Any couple, be it man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, etc. should alternate in buying each other dinner and buying gifts. The same theory applies when deciding what you are going to do, you should take turns. If this isn’t occurring, there’s a chance you may be being used.

4. Think about whether or not this person shows a healthy amount of interest in you. Are your phone calls returned in a timely manner? Do they consider you a reasonable priority? Do they show an interest in you and your feelings? If the girl seldom returns your calls and only calls you on her time, there’s a chance she is using you. Also, if she just writes you off whenever you’re not spending money on her, there’s a good chance she’s using you.

5. Think about when she contacts you. Is it because she wants to spend time with you, or is it because she wants something from you. How often does she need a favour?

6. Make a decision. Is she or isn’t she using you? If she is, you need to act. Let her know how you feel, be honest. By talking to the person and hearing their perspective, you may find out you were wrong. Perhaps the person was going through a difficult time and clung to you and took a bit of an advantage without realizing it or meaning to do so. It’s very possible. This step is most important, you should let the person know instead of just ending things with them. Only by doing so will you know without a doubt whether or not you were being used.
