How we pick

Every list on Gbam is built the same way, and we would rather show you the method than ask you to trust us.

1. We start with what is actually on sale here

A product that is not listed on Jumia, Konga or a seller that ships to Nigeria does not make the list, however good its reviews are abroad.

2. We compare the real prices, on the day

Every price on this site is read from the seller’s own page and dated. Nigerian prices move quickly, so a list without a date is not worth much.

3. We say who each pick is for

The best product for a student on a budget is not the best one for someone working from home. Each pick says who it suits, and who should skip it.

4. We name what is wrong with it

Every product involves a compromise. If we have not mentioned one, assume we have not looked hard enough.
