This truly groundbreaking social media study written by Charlene Li and Wetpaint, uses a robust statistical analysis to measure how Business Week’s top 100 brands are using social media to achieve financial success.

The Nigerian Ebay is Here

It was drizzling this Thursday afternoon when I met with Tony Daley the young Nigerian social entrepreneur and web designer who is the creator and owner of Naija Listing, Nigeria’s answer to the successful Ebay of America. He told me all about it.

Naija Listing like the American Internet company is an online auction and shopping website where people and companies can buy and sell, search and post jobs in the various segments of listings. There is a long list for the personal and commercial benefit of everyone and every company. Naija Listing is an online business directory, an online shopping mall and with a shoppers guide, a jobs bank, and so much more.

Naija Listing is a more niche commercial site than Nairalist of Seun Osewa whose own is the Nigerian answer to Craiglist. There is one major thing that Naija Listing has and this is the regular updates on Tenders from the Federal Government of Nigeria. If you want a government contract, Naija Listing has the information from the tenders board.
