June is for builders.
The people answering customer messages.
The people packaging orders.
The people following up on payments.
The people figuring things out as they go.
If you're building something this month, we hope June rewards your consistency.
Happy New Month from Merx🌎
Celebrating faith, sacrifice, and community.
Wishing everyone observing Eid al-Adha peace, joy, and meaningful moments with loved ones. 🌙
Eid Mubarak from all of us at Next Africa. #EidMubarak
It’s a new week.
More conversations.
More decisions.
More chances to do things better.
If you’re building, selling, or figuring things out as you go — keep at it.
Progress isn’t always loud, but it counts.
Let’s make it a good one.

We spoke with Nigerian online sellers.
One issue stood out: Trust.
Payments aren’t real-time. Orders live in chats.
Transactions lack structure.
The market is growing— but the infrastructure isn’t.
This video shows the gap.
We’re building the fix.
Spent time inside Nigerian seller WhatsApp groups not observing from the outside, but seeing how transactions actually happen.
5 patterns stood out. The key takeaway? Social commerce in Nigeria is booming… but still mostly unstructured.
Which of these feels familiar to you? 👀
@startupIn60@SemudaraAbayomi We are building @MerxAfrica - E-commerce Commerce OS for online sellers to use receive escrow payment, creating a storefront to receive orders 24/7, handle logistic all from a single app.
Happy Easter Monday.
A reminder that every new week is a fresh start.
No matter how last week went—show up, stay consistent, keep building.
Wishing you a productive week ahead.

Today is Good Friday.
A moment to pause, reflect, reset.
But for many Nigerian online sellers—
the work doesn’t stop.
Orders. Messages. Hustle.
Whether you’re resting or still pushing, we see you.

New month, new opportunities!
April marks the start of Q2 - let's refocus and drive growth.
What strategies are you implementing to boost your online business?
#NewMonth#NigerianEntrepreneurs#SocialCommerce
Disputes with no clear resolution.
Yet every day, thousands of Nigerian entrepreneurs are building businesses on top of this.
It works, until it doesn’t.
If you run an online business, what’s one challenge you’ve faced managing customers through DMs?
There’s a side of Nigerian online business people don’t talk about enough.
The part that happens inside DMs.
Where:
➡️ Orders are discussed
➡️ Payments are “confirmed” with screenshots
➡️ Deliveries are followed up manually
➡️ Disputes are settled with long chats and voice notes
No system.
No structure.
Just conversations trying to function like a business.
For many sellers, this is where the real work happens.
And it’s also where things go wrong.
Missed messages.
Unclear payments.
New week. New opportunities.
Across Nigeria, sellers are replying DMs, packing orders, and making sales.
Every transaction runs on trust.
At Merx Africa, we’re building the infrastructure that protects it.
Let’s make this week count. 🚀
