2. Ladipo Warehouse 2
Warehouse 2 in ladipo is where you can get the most cheapest phone ever in Nigeria. Many people are not aware of these. Uk/London used smart phones are more cheap in ladipo warehouse 2. This is where most of the computer village phone dealer buy from to resell. If you are looking on where to buy cheap phone in Lagos then you should consider ladipo Warehouse 2. The warehouse is located inside Ladipo market.
Note: Ladipo warehouse deal only on UK and American used smart phones and tablets only.
Warning: Ladipo is as bad as hell and the so called boys there are known as devil. three things you must have in mind when visiting ladipo market.
- Don’t Buy Untested: from our findings, none of the untested phone they are selling along the road are working or will work properly as expected. We advice you stay clear of untested phone along the road side of ladipo market, even if you are going to buy from warehouse we still advice you insist they test every phone you are buying or else you have too much cash to repair after buying and in some cases it might not even work at all.
- Don’t Buy Phone From The Boys Along The Road: The worst mistake you will make in ladipo is to have any thing to do with those boys selling phones along the road side in Ladipo. We insist you go direct to the warehouse.
- Don’t let any body take you to any of the shops in the warehouse: Normally when you get to Ladipo market, you will see boys hanging along the road side, these boys are still inside the warehouse hustling there, their jobs is to take a customer to a shop where he/she can buy phone. If you dare allow those boys to take you to a shop then you have automatically cheated yourself by yourself. You might want to ask how, well those boys has no shop, they are marketing in commission. When they take you to a shop, the seller will high the price of the phone in order for the guy that brought you to have his commission. This is when they will tell you N20,000 for a phone of 10-12k because the seller and the guy that brought you has already discussed how much to add to sales from his lead.
- Don’t pay till you have your phone and receipt in you hand: Don’t pay without handling you receipt and phone to avoid stories that touch.
The reason we listed the above safety tips is because we are quite aware of their of thejr behavior there, though buying from the warehouse is safe but you still have to play intelligently.
3. Computer Village
Computer village is second to the largest electronic market in Africa, it popularly known all over Nigeria. Computer village is the home for computers and phones. There is no type of phone you won’t find in computer village.
Computer village consist of different dealers, and they focus on computers and phones specifically. I have been hearing of computer village even when i have not had dreamed of visiting Lagos said “Daniel”, this is to elite you how popular computer village is in Nigeria.
How about the affordability of phones in computer village? Well we can say phone prices are cheap in computer village if compared with prices at shops in your location, most especially other states. One thing we like about computer village is that, their UK/American used phones are very neat just as new, and most of them offer warranty.

4. Konga
You must have heard of konga online shop before but if you haven’t, Konga is an online shop in Nigeria where you can order for a phone or other items and have it delivered to your doorstep. The good thing is that you don’t pay for the item till your receive it. These will cut short the stress of going in search for phone to buy in shops or market, as all you need to do is visit konga official website and search on the type of phone you want, register and order it then just relax and wait for your phone to be deliver to your doorstep.
Among all the online shopping website, Konga have the cheapest prices of items, and their phones are not an exception. Their prices are not too friendly but could be manageable since they are going to cut of the stress by delivering it to you.
One thing we don’t like about konga is the act of waiting for too long for an item you ordered for. in some cases it might take 2-3 weeks before they bring the item to you. We understood that they are trying to work on this expect but currently their best is still not making any sense.
Note: Konga only deal on new phones. You won’t be able to get a UK used phones on konga. Aside that, konga prices is some worth giving a try, it more better than other online shopping mail in Nigeria.

5. Jumia
Jumia is just as konga the only different is they are separate companies. Jumia is also and online shop where you can order for an item such as phone and have it deliver to your doorstep. Jumia also accept pay on delivery package which allow you to pay for the phone when only you receive it.
Jumia items are quite expensive but good thing about them is that they have a lot of items such as phones than others online shops. This means you will see lots of phone to select from.
Jumia also have the problem of late delivery, we will admit that Jumia start the whole mess but unfortunately jumia is really working hard to cut down duration of their delivery, while still expecting good result on these, we would advice to always use the method of pay on delivery in other not to have problem with them.
Note: Jumia don’t deal on Uk used phones or tablets as well, all their items are brand new and bit expensive, but this is the price you pay for cutting off the stress of going out to look for a phone to buy from physical shops.
