This is NOT an African company. It is a European company operating in Africa. Still, kudos to Jumia for enabling a more efficient market place for buyers and sellers on the continent.

Jumia should concentrate on creating value than expansion

There is nothing African about Jumia, alle development HQ is in portugal and HQ is located in Germany. Almost entire management consists of europeans.

Its just a company that operates in Africa.

Nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn’t market themselves as African, because there just not!

Jumia founded by 2 Africans in Nigeria, started operations in Nigeria, expanded to Africa, to serve African market, taken over by Europeans for Europeans to exploit Africans. Give credit where due. As I say history is whitewashed in the present.
