An Emotional Affair- By Ufuomaee

Lola was home alone again. It was 10pm at night and Bolu was not yet back from work. The food she had prepared for dinner at 8 O’Clock was well and truly cold by now. At nine, she’d given up the wait, and decided to have her dinner all by herself. She had become used to this nightly ritual after three years of marriage.

She had always known her husband to be hardworking, but at least when they were dating, he had made the effort to take her out or spend time with her at home. She would never have guessed that her years of marriage would be the loneliest of her life. From the moment they got back from their honeymoon, work became top priority for him.

Sometimes she wondered why he had even bothered to marry her? Was it a maid he had wanted? A house keeper? Was his family on his case about settling down? Did he even love her? These were her usual thoughts, night after night, as she fought the voice in her head telling her that she wasn’t loved…that she’d been deceived to have married Bolu Adetayo.

With a sigh, she got up from the sofa and switched off the television. She looked at her phone, no missed call. She considered calling to check on him, but she was sure she knew what he would say. “Just rounding up, love. Will be home in a flash!” or something to that effect. She was tired of nagging him about never calling or texting, and she’d long past given up feeling concerned about his well-being, and worrying maybe something bad had happened to him.

Reluctantly, she did the least she could do and sent him a text message. “I’m off to bed now, hon. Your dinner’s in the microwave. I hope all’s good. Come home safe.”

As she finished the message,

If you want to know what a place, where you can buy absolutely everything, looks like, just open Jiji.ng. Moreover, it allows to buy everything without even leaving your home. Just take a laptop or a Smartphone and start discovering. Open a category you are interested in and find the best offers by applying some of the suggested filters.

For some, Jiji looks like something magical. Of course, there is always some magic in convenience, but actually it is an ordinary market in a new domain. Counters here are virtual, and you cannot touch an item, only read a detailed description and look at its photos. However, the advantages are obvious. Users post ads for free, and the audience grows from local buyers to every person in the country, who knows how to use the Internet.

Jiji is a marketplace, not a web store, and this fact is very important. Because of this, Jiji doesn’t sell anything, but creates all necessary conditions for it. The main principle of this website is to take care of users’ privacy and security and provide them with the opportunity to communicate with each other directly.

You can find a lot of interesting offers on Jiji. But when it comes to electronics, this website has a lot to surprise with. If you think that some things aren’t affordable or can wait longer, think once more. Or just type “Xbox 360” in a search line and get an incredible console. In addition to usual fun and entertainment, you become a real hero of every game due to the innovative functions. Or you can buy it for someone you care about. It is definitely the best present ever.

Jiji is shopping spot No.1 in Nigeria with more than 530,000 active ads and over 10,000,000 monthly visitors. But all we can think of now is how many games do we need to buy straight away. To buy on Jiji, by the way.

Letter To Nigerian Bloggers!!!

By Oluwatobi Adekunle 

Blogging has been around for a while now in Nigeria and it’s obvious so many people even organizations are taking advantage of it. consequentially, the rate at which young Nigerians are creating blogs is at an alarming rate even when many of them seem not to really understand the nitty gritty of it. However, This can be attributed to the general opinion that blogging is a remunerative and booming online business that could turn anyone millionaire overnight. If i hear, ask BellaNaija how long she has been into blogging (in a passive voice).

It is not bad when you blog to make money online especially when you are equipped with the right content, but it becomes dire and disheartening when you are looking for content by all means even if it means publishing a defamatory story. This is common with most entertainment and gossip bloggers. They have

OKOYA's Daughter, HADIZA OKOYA Floats Online Mall

•Says "My Dad Has Been Grooming Me For Business Since Age 17”

Hadiza Okoya

Billionaire industrialist Alhaji Rasak Okoya’s daughter Hadiza Okoya Akala, and former Senate Chairman on Privatization, Senator Gbenga Obadara’s daughter Moremi Obadara has just joined, the league of online business owners.

Moremi Obadara

The two hardworking and business oriented ladies recently set up “Whatvendor”, an online market space which offers a link to stress free event planning cutting out the middle man for essential party  needs. Whatvendor which according to Hadiza Okoya is an online platform providing easier accessibility to event vendors, ultimately allows the underdogs in the industry to promote their craft therefore generating them a better income.


Qismat Yinus spoke to Hadiza Okoya about her first of its kind online business venture in Nigeria. The soft spoken stylish lady talks about  ‘what vendor’ and it benefits in this interview.

You recently set up an online mall alongside your friend Moremi Obadara, what is this business all about?

Whatvendor is an online platform providing easier accessibility to event vendors. This  ultimately allows the upcomers in the industry to promote their craft therefore generating them a better income. On the consumers side, it helps us get better value for our money. The laws of economics would tell you that the more supply the less demand therefore driving the value down. Ideally we live in a society where people are being charged 300 thousand naira for bridal make up,whereas a normal face of makeup which looks like bridal make up might cost 12,000 plus.
Understandably you must factor in the transportation and early wake charges which if anything should be 80 to 100k, but unfortunately we only see the popular make up artists therefore demand is high, driving up prices, whereas Whatvendor allows people just as good to be recognized.
Nigeria is growing at a rapid speed and yet we still only recognize certain event planners or decorators who will charge like 3 million naira up for their services alone not even food and drink eventhough the people
