Building a startup in Nigeria is one thing. Building something that actually solves a problem is another. For a while now, we’ve been working on something called Okrika, and I want to share a little of what we’re trying to build. Think about how people buy and sell things online today. You post a product, struggle to get people to see it, wait for messages, and sometimes lose potential customers simply because you weren’t available to respond. For small businesses and everyday sellers, getting noticed can be harder than actually finding something worth selling. That’s one of the problems we’re trying to solve with Okrika. Okrika is a social marketplace bringing social media and buying and selling together in one place. Instead of just uploading products and waiting for buyers, people can discover products through a social feed, follow sellers, post content, interact, chat, buy, sell, and even swap items. We want to make it easier for ordinary people and small businesses to reach customers without needing a huge advertising budget or thousands of followers. But we’re taking it a step further with AI. In this video, I’m testing Okrika AI Call inside the marketplace. The idea is to give businesses an AI assistant that can speak with customers, handle enquiries, and help them stay available even when they’re busy. We’re still building, testing, fixing things, and learning along the way. Not everything is perfect yet, but the vision is much bigger than just another marketplace. We want to build a platform where anyone can start selling, get discovered, connect with people, and grow something meaningful. The Okrika mobile app is on its way. We’re starting with Nigeria, and there’s a lot more we’re working towards. I’d genuinely love to hear what you think about what we’re building.

@Nonso_dt @Shalom_HeyEliy

A lot of Nigerian businesses don’t have a product problem. They have a reach problem. You can have something genuinely good to sell and still struggle to find the right buyers. And buyers have the opposite problem: thousands of posts everywhere, but finding the exact thing you actually want can still be stressful. That’s why we built Okrika — okrika.store @Okrikapp Sell what you have. Use Hunt to tell Okrika exactly what you’re looking for. Let Okrika AI help you discover better options faster. Follow people, post Status, chat, make offers and build a real audience around what you sell. And when the deal is done, Okrika Deliver helps move it where it needs to go. Okrika isn’t just another place to list products. It’s where buyers, sellers and communities can actually find each other. Buy. Sell. Hunt. Connect. okrika.store @Okrikapp If you’re an influencer, creator or community builder and you’d like to work with Okrika, send us an email at [email protected].
