On the trail of successes they have achieved as one of the pioneers of
online retail in Nigeria, co-founders of Jumia , Raphael
Afaedor and Tunde Kehinde have been featured in April’s edition of Forbes Africa magazine. In this awe-inspiring
piece the duo talk to Abisola Owolawi about finding their dream, rising
against the odds, their challenges and their rise to building Nigeria’s
number 1 online retailer.
In another exciting sequence, the website has grown to be the 5th local
content website

The 10 month retail store has seen exponential growth in size of baskets
and traffic to its site. Inadvertently leading to growth in all areas
of its operations from staff, fleet, warehousing facilities, to more
recently the addition of 3 locations

to pioneer the Nigerian retail market, with a vision to being the
answer to retail both offline and online in sub-Saharan Africa. As a
