I travel from one area in Nigeria to another to find out the locations of the warehouse of online shopping stores of the big guys. However,, my major research was done on-net.

The site rank #1 on Google search result for the phrase, “online shopping in Nigeria”. However, jumia.com recorded some poor customer review on pricy product sale and delay delivery of products. These have put Jumia.com behind Konga.com.
Taafoo.com took the third lead on my list of online shopping sites in Nigeria
