The Mobile Market retails menswear and womenswear including shoes, handbags, jewelry, perfume, shirts, t shirts, ties, sunglasses, beauty essentials and a lot more.

The aim of the Mobile Market is to provide affordable fashion for the Nigerian youth; from Made in Nigeria goods to International Designer & High Street Labels. Rather than host events in a single location, the Mobile Market hosts periodic sales in strategic locations all around Lagos with the plan to expand beyond Nigeria’s commercial capital to major cities and campuses around the country.

The Mobile Market provides an avenue for small businesses and individuals to showcase their products and works, meet clients and at the same time provide shoppers with opportunities to shop at affordable prices by hosting fairs every month.

The mobile market creates an avenue for small goods traders and buyers to meet, network and trade in a fun and relaxed environment. Previous Mobile Market events have been successful and have since evolved to include various types of industries from fashion to art to electronics and lifestyle products.

The maiden event was on 16th of December 2010.

Behind all the well orchestrated public relations work around the launch of 3G and 4G services by various Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecommunications companies in Nigeria, none of them is offering real broadband to consumers, industry analysts have said.

But more importantly, internet consumers living in Nigeria are still paying far more for broadband services than their counterparts in mature markets, putting it completely out of the reach of majority of the populace. Industry analysts told Business Day yesterday that out of over 40 million Nigerians already connected to the internet, only about 12 million, representing around 3 percent, have access to efficient broadband internet.

This, according to them, is inspite of the falling prices of bandwidth capacity due to the growing number of undersea cables on the coastline. Industry estimates show that some $2.24 billion (N336 billion) has been invested in deploying underwater cables expected to lower bandwidth cost and improve availability, but Nigerian internet users still complain about the slow and exasperating access to the information superhighway. Richard Hurst, senior analyst at Ovum noted yesterday: “Demand for broadband services in emerging markets continues to be stifled by high prices. In some countries, broadband pricing was double or triple the price of an equivalent service in a more developed market.

“In addition, lower GDP per capita in Nigeria, means that broadband is only available to the highest socio-economic groups.” Commenting on the state of broadband service delivery in Nigeria, Chima Onyekwere, chairman, Linkserve, pioneer ISP, said: “When we defined broadband four years ago, we said that broadband was anything from 128kbs. “Today, we can not define broadband in that manner.

Broadband is actually 4 megabits (MEG) per second. Therefore, I can confidently say that no telcos or ISP is delivering 4 MEG to any consumer in the market.” According to Onyekwere, telcos don’t have 4 MEG available to them, and it is an illusion to think that Nigerians are enjoying broadband in its true form.

The two tech darlings are growing into fierce competitors with every new chapter in their quests for consumer domination. The latest page of this low-key yet high-stakes saga finds Google potentially going after Amazon’s Prime loyalty shopping program. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Google is in talks with major retailers to launch a service where shoppers would pay a flat annual fee in exchange for subsidized shipping. If this sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because Amazon has been perfecting that model for years.

Amazon Prime allows active online shoppers to pay $79 a year in exchange for free two-day shipping of any Amazon-warehoused merchandise. Hurried buyers can pay $3.99 for overnight deliveries. The leading Web-based retailer has never divulged the exact number of Prime members on its rolls, but it has referred to them in the “millions” earlier this year.

How can Google pull this off without centralized warehouses? Will the search engine titan face conflicts of interest by having a more direct hand in the fortunes of some of its advertisers? Why go after a model that Amazon seems to have all but cornered? Let’s answer the last question first. Amazon Prime shoppers are a loyal lot. When there’s something they need to buy, they go directly to Amazon.com’s homepage.

Why not? If Amazon or one of its merchant partners is selling it through one of its fulfillment warehouses, they’re already paying for unlimited access to free two-day shipping.

See the problem? Amazon Prime shoppers are no longer leaning on Google’s search engine — more specifically, its Google Product Search comparison shopping engine — to scour cyberspace for better deals. This is why you see giant corporations making silent alliances, much like we saw in the stripe merchant services a few years back. Similar attitudes are rising within google, anything that circumvents Google.com as an Internet launching pad is a threat.
