Jumia, Bolt, Foodcourt, etc., have tried but all faced obstacles. This particular sector is extremely difficult.
“Rising demand for convenience”, “smartphone penetration”, etc.
All these factors may lead you to believe it's all that.
Yinmu.. A truly difficult market with very uninspiring economics.
I was telling one of my junior colleagues recently that a critical skill she must possess is “understanding how businesses run”, and the key concept to master is “working capital”. Once you grasp that, you'll see things clearly (working capital is often most of these businesses’ undoing).
It genuinely saddens me when businesses have to pack up.

Abdul Samad Rabiu added a Bombardier Global 8000 to his fleet. Around $80 million.
Easy to file that under billionaire flex. But look closer.
The Global 8000 is the fastest civilian jet since the Concorde. It flies Lagos to New York nonstop. No stops, no refuelling, no hours lost on the ground.
Rabiu runs cement, sugar, ports and energy across Africa, the Middle East and Europe. For a man closing deals on three continents, time is the one resource he can’t make more of.
So it isn’t really about the jet. It’s about speed. When your business is everywhere, getting there faster is the edge.
The wealthy don’t buy toys. They buy back their time.
Seriously, get married and have a dual income household on time. The longer you postpone this, the harder it is to compound the benefits. It is the greatest middle-class hack to wealth. Forget all the stupid gender extremism here. Fall in love, get married, build together.
Mr. Wa Zo Bia, CEO of Wazobia AllUniverse Ltd, has received approval from the SEC to issue securities into the Nigerian capital market. In collaboration with his brokers, Contisx Exchange* has been selected as the platform for this issuance.
On Contisx, a presentation date is scheduled on Contisx Live. On that date and time, Mr. Bia and his broker will present the offering. Through Contisx Live, the event will be broadcast across our website and connected to mobile devices, smart TVs, and other digital platforms, enabling broad participation from anywhere.
During the live session, the issuer will take questions, provide insights, and engage directly with the market. At the same time, registered investors, onboarded through brokers and dealers, can place bids, make offers, and trade in real time, from their approved brokerage accounts.
For bonds, commercial papers, equities, and most securities, Contisx Live will bring issuers and investors closer together, enhancing transparency, access, and market confidence. Issuers can also use Contisx Live to present financial results and engage shareholders, removing information asymmetry.
And you know what? We have integrated Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Pidgin and English in the interactive engine. Simply, we hope to remove language barriers for We The People to participate. Afterall, they do not speak English in Oriendu Market in Ovim, and it makes sense if we desire to get those amazing men and women into the capital market, we need to ensure services are available in core Nigerian languages.
Visit Contisx Live https://t.co/61Ty3w2HQ5 and see why we need to work together. We're speaking with brokers, dealers, broker-dealers, banks, market makers and stakeholders in the industry. Let us talk as we showcase our technologies and how together we can advance Nigeria and broad Africa. We are launching in Sept 2026.
