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.

Everyone’s missing the real story here.
Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.
7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.”
Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.
Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired.
This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.
Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.
And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.
The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.
This is how amala should be served at events. Not that nonsense of amala with one piece of meat. Serving amala is not compulsory.
If you must serve amala, do it well.
