Last month, I bought a washing machine and a microwave oven from Jumia which they delivered. The washing machine worked well, but the microwave on the other hand failed to heat my food, just showing lights. I emailed them about the issue, and they replied back and asked that I repack it. In 48hrs, the same delivery man who delivered came to pick it up. In less than 24hrs, they emailed and texted back that the item has been received and that they've converted it to a voucher and that I was free to reorder with it. I emailed back and told them I'd prefer a refund instead, and provided my account number. The following day I saw my money in my account.

Why am I saying this? These are new companies in a very challenging field operating in a country such as Nigeria where things don't work. We've got to be patient with these guys, and continually let them keep innovating. They aren't even making profits yet, just living on investors' money and hope.

I buy virtually everything, especially electronics from either stores depending on availability and pricing, and the experience has been okay so far, though you have to be patient sometimes.

The one area I will fault both companies is their deals and promo sales - they're mostly scams, and I don't know why they do this. Its either the promo products are sold out or they give a ridiculous price and then discount it to the normal price of the item - very dishonest. And both companies are guilty of this.

Overall, in the next 3-5years, these companies would be doing great. That I'm sure of.

I couldn't agree with you more on the promo scams, happened to me.

It was during Jumia 2000 naira mobile app promo. I ordered for goods and applied the promo code. Next thing I know is jumia sent a text that my order could not be delivered due to the supplier being out of stock. Okay fine let me use the coupon again since my first order is unfulfilled, the code did not work ooo.

Call their Customer care, they said there is nothing they can do about it.

Most of the promo are dishonest means to an end IMHO.

I just finished this thread from start to end. Thumbs up to the OP.

I have learnt some new things at the same time brushed up some old skills. Learning never stops.

I applied for this almost 30 years ago. I already had my Commercial Pilot's License at the time on Fixed Wing Airplanes and was looking to convert to Rotary wing. The requirement for flying experience is for those who do not have a Bachelors.

This is one of two Nigerian companies that I ever applied to work with and the interview was very well conducted, based on knowledge and not who you knew. I made it to the last batch and I admit that the last 3 who were selected performed better than me in some of the tasks undertaken.

Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose!

30 years ago I wasn't even born then. You be baba oo
Pls do you have any file or link on history of fixed wing/rotary wing on Nigeria that you are willing to share. Help a young pilot.

If she admitted that she was prost!tute (just like you are alleging), the guy wouldn't have furnished an apartment for her!

Some girls are just hypocrite, even the sex they so think they are giving out na them dey enjoy am pass oo.

Mekybliss:
That guy is materialistic. Please tell him to refund the sex

Which century are you from ma? When does sex turn into a one man thing. Sex as I know it is enjoyed by both parties. You ladies will just act like you don't enjoy sex,like you don't have nerves in your vag wall or even clit.

Nice tut, just that 99% won't follow through, some will stop at the beginning some at the middle and some close to the end.

Don't blame them, they tend to act only on their emotions and shut down every logical reasoning
