Popular Nigerian Celebrities are joining forces with Nigeria’s #1 eCommerce community for buying and selling,
Kaymu.com.ng to help make a difference in the lives of motherless children. This initiative was pioneered by Kaymu to commemorate the launch of the eCommerce community in Nigeria and to encourage the spirit of giving back amongst Nigerians.

What can Kaymu do for you?

eCommerce site that facilitates buying and selling online across Nigeria. It offers sellers the opportunity to own a shop online where they can sell more of their items to the growing numbers of Nigerians online, currently over 60 million and offer buyers the opportunity to get incredible deals on all items ranging from fashion to electronics and even unique collectibles or gifts.
Soon after launch, already over 6000 products have been listed, ranging from

The values of the Kaymu community of buyers and sellers are:
- People are basically good.
- Everyone has something to contribute.
- An honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.
- Kaymu recognizes and respects everyone as a unique individual.
- Kaymu encourages you to treat others the way you want to be treated.
In that spirit, Kaymu encourages trade between individuals and professionals in Nigeria via the internet. The site empowers everybody to connect and engage in commerce with others and make a living out of it.
To ensure that all members are honest and follow its community values, Kaymu has implemented a rating system where individuals rate one another based on their experience when making transactions. Nobody with bad service or products can hide. Great people stand out and are rewarded for their dedication and make more money!
In addition to that, Kaymu keeps the community clean by having a team of community guardians detect potentially dishonest sellers or buyers and removing them from the website.
Celebrities donated in that spirit to act as role models and show that indeed everyone can contribute to making this world better bit by bit!
