Paste the product link and choose whether you want them to buy it for you or just ship it.
If you know eBay, there's a Chinese platform just like that.
Many "UK-used" iPhones, Samsung, or laptops sold in Computer Village actually didn't come from London.
Some of them came from this platform called Xianyu, also known as Goofish or Idle Fish: a used-goods marketplace under Alibaba.
Once you know how to navigate your way on this platform, you can get used iPhones, Samsungs, Google Pixels, cameras, laptops, and various gadgets at very low prices.
Each seller will indicate whether the gadget has issues or not, so you can decide what you want.
- Once you've picked the specific gadgets you want to buy, discuss with the sellers, and confirm what you're buying are in good condition. (Don't worry, some of them understand basic English.)
- After that, you'll need a shipping agent such as Superbuy and CSSBuy to help you secure the goods and send them to your country. (I'll drop the links in the comment section.)
- The agent can even help you inspect the goods, negotiate, and pay in yuan on your behalf.
- When the items land in the agent's warehouse in China, they'll ship it to Nigeria by air or sea, depending on the mode you want. (Air is faster but costlier; sea is slower but cheaper.)
Note that this platform is completely in Chinese, so you'll need to translate. They have a website and an app on the iOS App Store.
You can log in with Taobao, Alipay or Wepay.

If I got laid off tomorrow & had to replace my salary asap, here’s exactly what I’d do:
1. Go to Instagram and start a fresh account. Use a spare email. No one has to know.👇👇
If you want to buy clothes, accessories, and gadgets at cheaper prices with good qualities, this post is for you.
Here are the best sites and apps where Nigerians can shop for less:
- For clothes and fashion:
1. SHEIN (shein. com): ships directly to Nigeria. One of the cheapest places to buy trendy clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories. The prices are low but read reviews and check size charts before ordering.
2. Temu (temu. com): clothes, accessories, and more at prices that will shock you. Stack your coupons and limited time discounts before checking out. We have talked about this one before.
3. AliExpress (aliexpress. com): one of the largest online marketplaces in the world. Ships to Nigeria with free shipping on most items. Delivery takes 15 to 45 days so plan ahead.
- For gadgets and electronics:
4. Banggood (banggood. com): smartphones, accessories, earphones, smartwatches, and more at very affordable prices. Ships to Nigeria and runs flash sales regularly.
5. MiniInTheBox (miniinthebox. com): perfect for gadget lovers. Covers phone accessories, bluetooth speakers, smartwatches, drones, and more. Ships to Nigeria.
- For both fashion and gadgets:
6. Konga (konga. com): solid Nigerian platform covering fashion, electronics, and accessories. Pay with your naira card and enjoy flexible payment options including KongaPay.
7. Amazon (amazon. com): not everything ships directly to Nigeria but you can use a shipping forwarding service like Bazebo or MyUS to receive your items locally. Great for premium gadgets at better prices than what you see in Nigerian stores.
A few things to always remember before you order from any of these sites:
- Read the product description carefully.
- Check buyer reviews and real photos.
- Confirm your size before ordering clothes.
- For international sites, make sure you have a dollar card or a card that supports international transactions.
The same item selling for 50,000 naira in a local shop could be sitting on one of these platforms for 15,000 naira.
Get started and thank me later.
Above all, love God.
6. Check for accountability
No one is perfect, so the real test is how she handles mistakes. A mature woman can say I was wrong without turning it into a war.
She does not twist facts just to stay right. Accountability keeps small problems from becoming long resentments.
It also keeps trust alive after conflict. A relationship without accountability becomes emotional prison. A woman who can repair is a woman who can stay.
