While a handful of companies dominate this niche, several other firms are getting in on the act too. One of them, Ajebo Market, is having some success in this respect. The Ajebo Market e-commerce store sells men’s fashion products; it caters to a specific segment of the population. Offerings range from men’s shirts and trousers to shoes, sandals, bags, and watches. That’s basically all the basic clothing and accessories that a man would want. Not many online fashion stores have made the male audience their principal market. You’re far more likely to find fashion e-commerce websites displaying women’s wares. But Agiri Ibrahim, who founded Ajebo Market in 2013, believes that his company is meeting important needs. Ibrahim’s entrepreneurial journey goes farther into the past than his setting up Ajebo Market. While he was a university student, he retailed clothes just to get by. But after he completed his NYSC program, he decided to become a full-time fashion merchant with a web presence. He began selling on social media platforms, and later launched the Ajebo e-commerce website, where a lot of the transactions now happen.
