Created by a Ukrainian, Nigeria’s largest online marketplace for classifieds, has acquired its main competitor on the African market, OLX and its businesses in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda and Tanzania. Founded in Lagos in 2014 by Kyiv native Anton Wolyansky, Jiji lists 1.1 million items and has six million active users. With these acquisitions, Jiji’s population base expands by 50%, to 300 million. In face of Jiji’s growth, South Africa-based OLX pulled out of Nigeria last year.
