We hope this has helped. Good luck and happy trading!
Jiji, if you didn’t know, is Nigeria’s largest classifieds. And it seems they are expanding into Kenya through their Jiji.ke address.
As to whether Kenyans will embrace Jiji is a matter of wait and see. As an OLX user I expect a better user experience at Jiji.ke.
