About us
A marketplace built around how Nigerians actually trade
Ogasela started with a simple question: why should finding a trusted buyer or seller near you be so hard? We're fixing that, one listing at a time.
Who we are
From market stalls to your pocket
Ogasela is a product of Float Solution Hub, a Nigerian technology company based in Lagos. It's a mobile marketplace where anyone can buy and sell almost anything: phones and gadgets, fashion, furniture, vehicles, property, jobs and services, with people near them.
Nigeria has always had thriving markets, from Balogun to Computer Village, from Alaba International to Onitsha Main Market. What it hasn't had is a single, trustworthy place to bring that energy online. Too often, buying from a stranger online means paying up front and hoping for the best.
So we built Ogasela around trust: verified sellers, conversations that stay in the app, a team that reviews ads and handles disputes, and Office Pickup, where we hold the item and check it before you take it home.

Our vision
A Nigeria where anyone can buy or sell anything, with anyone nearby, and trust the deal.
Our mission
To make local trade simple, safe and fair, by pairing an easy mobile marketplace with real verification, inspection and support.
Our objectives
What we're working towards
Give every seller, from a market stall to a growing business, a free way to reach buyers in their own city.
Make it normal to check who you're dealing with, through seller verification, reviews and in-app chat.
Take the risk out of paying for things you haven't seen, with Office Pickup and inspection at our branches.
Cover all 36 states and the FCT, so a buyer in Jos is as well served as one in Lekki.
Put simple AI tools in every seller's hands, so a great ad doesn't depend on being a great copywriter.
Earn trust by being open about fees, protecting personal data and resolving problems fairly.

How we operate
Open about how it all works
Free listings, paid reach
Anyone verified can post on the Free plan. Sellers who want more photos, a longer run or a higher spot in search choose a Basic, Standard or Premium plan, paid by card, bank transfer or USSD through Paystack.
Office Pickup
For eligible categories, buyers can pay Ogasela the item price plus a 3% service fee. Sellers drop the item at an Ogasela branch, our staff inspect it, and the buyer collects it or has it delivered.
A team behind the app
Our staff review seller verification documents and ads, investigate reports, work disputes through to resolution, and run our pickup branches. Software flags the risks; people make the calls.
How we make money
From optional ad plans and promotions, and the Office Pickup service fee. We don't take a cut of deals you make directly, and we never sell your personal data.
What we stand for
Our values
Community first
We're building for the trader in Alaba, the student in Nsukka and the hustler in Port Harcourt, not just the big cities.
Trust by design
Verification, in-app chat, inspection and a real support team exist so you can transact with confidence.
Simple, always
Listing an item or finding a deal should take minutes, not hours. We obsess over removing friction.
Made in Nigeria, for Nigeria
From Naira pricing to state-by-state discovery, Ogasela is built around how Nigerians actually buy and sell.
