For journalists

Press & media.

Obilli is an independent classifieds marketplace and listing aggregator for Africa, run by a small self-funded team. This page states only what we can stand behind.

Factual background

  • Independent, self-funded, remote team — no offices and no outside investors.
  • Free to post and free to browse; funded entirely by display advertising.
  • Two kinds of listings: posted directly by users, and aggregated from public marketplaces with attribution.
  • Coverage spans several African countries and grows or shrinks with the sources we index.

What we will not claim

We do not publish user counts, transaction volumes or country totals, because we cannot verify them to a standard we would be comfortable seeing in print. If you need a figure for a story, ask us and we will tell you exactly what we can and cannot substantiate.
