Children of hate frustrations and perdition that don't want to hear or see any good news about our darling country will soon start wailing, shouting na lie.

They have promised their miserable and frustrated life to never read any good news concerning our darling naija.

Na dat bitterness and hatred go wound dem and every one on their family, no matter what part of the country they are from.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA šŸ‡³šŸ‡¬.

Slow and steady we will get to the nation of our dreams.

You assume that the South African and Tunisian economies are stronger than Nigeria's.

Most Nigerians underestimate Nigeria.

The future belongs to Nigeria. Foreigners know it, but Nigerians themselves don't.

By the way, in the last 10 years, South Africa's total combined economic growth rate is 1%. That means the economy has not grown at all in 10 years. Their economy is stagnant.

In the same 10 year period, Nigeria, despite all its challenges has grown by over 15%.

Nigeria - big, strong, and powerful.

While dropping from Africa's number one ecomomy to Africa's fourth... Kindly explain your definition of growth.

The guys at Jumia are not just creative in terms of business. They're just pro tech guys, business-wise they're not creative at all..

Africa/Nigeria is an emerging market, many existing successful businesses outside Africa can be copied and replicated here. You'll get that initial buzz and the name, but only creativity will keep you in the market long-run.

Indians are doing the same, copying existing techs and replicating it for the Indian market.

We don't really have creative creators here, or the creative ones are yet to start up something.

Jumia is supposed to be a profitable business if done right. A simple introduction of ads for sellers would increase profit for the brand.

Merchant awareness is poor. Most small business owners don't know they can create a store and sell on Jumia, even the ones that knows don't know how.

A marketplace is not a build and forget business model, it requires constant innovation and creativity. You've copied the blueprint, then what next? How do you go from here?

See the likes of payporte, abeg, konga, where are they now? They just copied the blueprint and build it. But you can only copy what you see, the inner workings of the business you can't copy that. It is left for you to use your creative mind and go from there.

You made lots of sense.

I would be surprised if they are making shi-shi in Nigeria.

I can remember one of my orders, Iā€™m not even sure if i paid up to N500 for delivery. It was transported to about 3/4 touch points before getting to me, from one end of Lagos to another.

It really baffled me, not just the cost of transporting it, the cost of handling, sorting, tracking etc. I kept wondering to myself, shey this people would make any profit like this or nobody is paying attention to this their current supply chain system.

When u come into the system, u will be surprised the kind of money they make from the vendors & thatā€™s why things are expensive in that platform! Jumia get 18% commission from each item u are buying from any funiture vendor & they collect delivery money from the vendor & buyer !!


Other countries canā€™t give them the kind of freedom they have in Nigeria because the system is too corrupt!!

If u have trusted vendor, itā€™s cheaper to buy directly from them than to get it through jumia !

Iā€™m giving you 100% reliable information because Iā€™m into the system

Everybody knows revenue is not profit.
Let me ask you this, where did Amazon get the money they used in setting up their cloud infrastructure? If you say investors, how would they convince the investors when they couldn't turn profit for 20 years?

Also, what made Jeff Bezoz a billionaire?

Y'all just read without understanding. Amazon e-commerce has been profitable for a long time. Maybe the profit margin is minimal because of the nature of the business, but it has been profitable.

Their cloud offerings has a lower running cost, that's why the profit margin there is higher.

It's like a business man that sells richarge card, the profit margin is very small. He needs to sell in large quantities to see huge gains. Now compare this to a car or phone dealer.

This is the same scenario playing out with Amazon.

The e-commerce is making profit for them too. It was never running at a loss like you initially opined.

No need overstretching something that is self-evident that everyone with a smartphone can verify.

You were largely wrong and the guy (or maybe girl) was largely right, accept it and move on.

I thought like you before this your argument, but I have now learnt a lot after doing the research myself.

It is not a big deal to be wrong. This is one of the better arguments on this platform and both of you should be proud.

Oh and the part I emboldened in your statement was never true. Generally ecommerce firms operating their model do not make profits straight from day one (or year one), almost impossible.

Some of you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Profit is not the only measure of value investors look at, loss making firms have always been highly coveted by them as long as they believe they will see potential and growth opportunities one day.

Practically all the recent tech giants, starting from Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and so on were all loss making for years before turning profits. That never stopped their owners from amassing serious wealth as investors continued to pour money in speculating on the value of those companies.

Anyway, lets talk about the man of the moment, Elon Musk (the bloody African) has been among top 10 richest men for quite a while, but it was always his Tesla shares that formed the majority of his wealth. Look at the chart below to see when Tesla started making profit.( i.e. it took more than 7 years).

Profit is not (and has not been for quite a long time) the only measure that investors use to ascribe value, simple.
