iSellr.ng, Nigeria’s Next Rated E-commerce Giant

According to Britannica, E-commerce, which stands for electronic commerce, is the act of maintaining relationships and conducting business transactions that include selling information, services, and goods by means of computer telecommunications networks. Following Paypal’s ban of accounts with Nigerian IP addresses in 2005, E-commerce in Nigeria suffered some retrogression and was reduced to the barest minimum because there was no alternative way through which electronic payments to be made.

Anyways with the invention of internet banking launched by Guaranty Trust Bank and First Bank, a glimmer of hope shone on Nigerian E-commerce. Now there are several sites that have been bubbling in the e-commerce industry, the likes of Jumia, Konga, Payporte, Jiji, and many more. Today we want to introduce you to Nigeria’s Next Rated E-commerce Giant, a retail/e-commerce website called iSellr Nigeria.

iSellr Nigeria or iSellr.ng, is gradually building what 1 million people love not what 100 million people “kind of like”. The brand is changing the scam atmosphere found in Nigeria e-commerce customers. A new breath of fresh air filled with trust and passion for the need of our customers. That’s why their tagline is “you come first.”

Brief History

iSellr Nigeria was founded in 2017 by a fast-growing Nigerian entrepreneur and businessman called Onyenweuzo Chuka Victor. In a conversation with WE, Chuka iSellr, as he is popularly known, revealed

“iSellr was founded in 2017 while I was taking a shit. As they say, the greatest ideas come when you are in the toilet… lol! The name was conceived from there, work started. We started comparing names on the internet to make sure it was unique and no one has used it. We understood your name is the first step to make an impact. And we smashed that area perfectly. Next was the blueprint, how would iSellr stand out. That was the challenge. After months of work, iSellr evolved and became an online store where you can get anything you wanted. We are still expanding and reaching. There’s absolutely nothing you can’t achieve with the right frame of mind and dedication.”
