Whether you're leaving a student apartment, relocating for a job, or simply upgrading your space, one thing is certain—furniture is a hassle. It's heavy, expensive, and often time-sensitive. And in Nigeria’s informal digital marketplaces, it can also be risky.

We've all seen the WhatsApp group messages: "3-seater couch, ₦35k. Must go by Friday!" Or worse: "Buyer never showed up." "I paid, and they disappeared."

The Problem Isn’t Supply—It’s Trust.

Furniture is one of the most commonly traded items in informal online groups, but these platforms lack built-in protections. There’s no verification, no escrow, no reviews—just strangers hoping for honest deals.

That’s where Ajé comes in.

Ajé is a bot-powered marketplace that runs inside the messaging platforms you already use—like WhatsApp and Telegram. It lets you post, find, and buy furniture locally with the confidence of built-in safety tools:

  • Escrow wallet: Ajé holds payment until the furniture is delivered and confirmed.

  • Seller verification: Traders are vetted, and repeated scams are flagged.

  • Trade tracking: Keep tabs on pickup, payment, and delivery—all in chat.

Whether You're Buying or Selling—It’s Easier with Ajé

If you're selling furniture: Ajé helps you reach real buyers nearby, reduces no-shows, and ensures you get paid.

If you're buying furniture: You can inspect before releasing payment, communicate easily, and avoid fraud.

Thousands of users are already moving out, scaling down, or starting fresh—Ajé gives them the tool to do it safely.
