Our Story
From “DM for Price”
to Real Commerce
This is the story of Aisha — and thousands of Nigerian businesses like hers — who turned chaos into a professional storefront with Valerie.
Bodija Market, Ibadan
Picture a woman named Aisha in Bodija Market, Ibadan. She sells beautiful dresses. Her customers love her products — but every day is the same struggle.
Someone sees a dress on her WhatsApp Status. “How much?” She replies. “Available?” She replies. “Send account number.” She replies again. By evening, hundreds of messages have entered her phone.
Hundreds of messages. Lost orders.
Some customers disappear after asking for the price. Some send fake alerts. Some orders get lost in chats. Business is growing — but chaos is growing faster.
One link. One store. Ten minutes.
In less than ten minutes, Aisha creates her own online store — uploads dresses, sets prices, adds sizes, and shares a single link. The next morning she posts: “Visit my store on Valerie.”
