Jumia and Konga war is that of Tom and Jerry, there hardly comes to terms. Konga had to launch the Democracy Deals on 1st to 7th of June, the same period it was the Jumia Mobile Week Megathon in Nigeria. And it was a direct move to make sure its customers doesn’t switch, the firm had earlier ended its Mega App Sales a day before the beginning of Jumia’s Mobile Week Megathon.

Despite achieving a huge success in its Mobile Week Megathon, Jumia still had to force in Konga to be jealous of the infographic released during the seven days event across Nigeria. Well, no response yet from any of Konga or the founder, Sim Shagaya himself regarding the data released.

The #JumiaMobileWeek hashtag was hot as a trending topic across social media channels during the event and the infographic claims there were a total of over 100, 000 tweets with the hashtag. A figure that has an accompanying statement Even Don Jazzy has not trended that much.

There are so many online stores in Nigeria you probably had not seen or heard about but before then, not all online stores will really do well but finding the right genre can make you dominate your line of focus in setting up your online store.
So many brands are still very much missing in the world of online shopping mall but with internet usage in Nigeria rapidly at an increase rate, setting up a virtual store will definitely increase your sale and get you closer to potential customers.


Though spying is a marketing niche, you don’t just enter into online stores because you feel you should be there because of others but because you’d got something to sell. That is how these online stores had found their feet online in a thriving Nigerian online market.

Are you looking for a place to buy a land, rent or buy a house or any property? If you’re in Nigeria or coming into the country for a visit or business, below is an analysis of some of the places that could be of help.

At No. 1 is Lotpool.Com: it is a real estate portal for Nigerian properties. A very catchy simple user interface makes it also well optimized for mobile screen convenience. Options to sell, rent, buy or let.

Second on the list is Tolet.Com.Ng: innovative team set up and good customer relation makes it unique. A brotherly neighbour to Iroko.TV, Drinks.Ng and others, nothing is expected from it than uniqueness.

Taking the third spot is PropertyFinder.Com.ng: as an expatriate, the place you should be is PropertyFinder.Com.ng. You have the option to switch to your language of choice and local languages like Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba are all listed. Could anything be fun and sweet as when surfing online with your local language?

Occupying the fourth spot is http://sabinow.com/2014/09/03/nigerian-properties-5-places-to-consider-buying-online/

In recent progress in the world of internet, like every other known country, Nigeria had witnessed lots of innovation most notably in the e-commerce sector where several start-ups had emerged. Living in cities like Lagos and Abuja, it is obvious to state that at least, up to 50% people visits an ecommerce site daily and up to 25% buy or shows great interest to purchase product(s) from an online store. But the bothering question is to know which offers the best products and services at a ‘Nigerians-related’ price.

As the most giant new born in the ecommerce fight in Nigeria, deals.vconnect.com is really putting everything in place to make sure it becomes Nigerians first choice in the ecommerce market. One will happily grab a product from the deals site upon seeing the beautifully designed user interface which friendly combines colour red, white and great looking images to give customers a great surfing experience.
Many of us are conversant with sites like Jumia, Konga, Kaymu and the rest but the distinctive feature of deals.vconnect.com is its offline direct purchase system which makes it safe and trustworthy. I mostly fears for fraud paying online with my ATM but with deals.vconnect.com, that has been resolved.

With deals.vconnect.com, I only needed to select a jersey, fill a very simple form that comes next and submit. An SMS with my redemption code was immediately sent to me. I got my jersey at a very low price of N3500 with beautiful customized name instead of the store price of N10 000. It was a great 1st time experience.

Another thing I love about deals.vconnect.com is the quick replies to customer reviews of their products and services. That most online store in Nigeria lacks. Customer satisfaction is as important as business profits. If you ask me where next to shop online, sure the answer will be deals.vconnect.com because of cheap prices for great products and services unlike others that inflate prices so as to make more money. You can check deals.vconnect.com to know better.

I am not that lucky to be part of those that owns the big boys and girls phone but still counts myself lucky to have this small java enabled phone. Could browse and most importantly listen to my favourite radio station anywhere in the word using http://ubarab.param.mobi and also live tv. Thank God

And what do they do with the money? Embezzle it! Mtsheeew, yeye people.

Hmmm... Just thinking

The 'so-called' national service instituted as a means for youths to contribute meaningfully to their fatherland had turned into a means for some self-claimed superiors to feed their pockets and making some useless rules to prevent poor graduates into it. Not bad if the NYSC is scrap because it involves money wastage and putting lots into national hard labour. Can somebody help me advice Federal Government to please sum up all NYSC payments and pay all graduates after 3 weeks camping?

Funi. I need a green and black chicken with six legs. I nd it ASAP. I jus forwarded N10m into ur email now!

Not happy my Liverpool drew anyway. Its Nigeria 2:1 Mexico. Half Time!
