Let’s be honest. Living in Lagos right now isn’t easy. Between food prices that always seem to be on the rise, fuel costs, and the stress of just getting from one place to another, something as basic as stocking your kitchen has become a real chore.
Most of us want to eat well and save money. But that’s becoming harder by the day. You want the convenience of getting your foodstuff delivered, but everything online just seems… more expensive than just going to the market to get your things jejely by yourself. And yes, people say “buy in bulk to save more”—but who has the freezer space or cash flow to buy a full bag of rice or basket of tomatoes in one go?
Meet Iyaloja Direct – Offering Cheap Grocery Delivery Lagos Service For Foodstuffs, Delivered to Your Doorstep. I stumbled upon Iyaloja Direct months ago, and after a few orders, it is clear that this isn’t just another online grocery delivery service in Lagos. It’s built on something familiar, something our mothers and grandmothers used to do – foodstuff sharing.
In those good old days, women in the community would gather their money, go to the market together, and buy foodstuff in bulk. Then they’d share it. Everyone got good value without needing to buy everything alone.
This smart and innovative company has simply brought that same communal model online. Now, you can join Iyaloja Direct “market runs” every week, order the quantity you need and have your foodstuffs delivered to your area, whether in Lekki, Surulere, Yaba, Festac, Ikoyi, Ajah, Ikeja, Sangotedo etc. Maybe it’s half a paint of tomatoes, a quarter bag of rice or half bunch of plantain. The team at Iyaloja Direct go to Mile 12, Oyingbo, and Ketu markets, negotiate bulk prices for the nest foodstuffs, and bring it right to your doorstep. All without costing you an arm and a leg.
No stress. No overpriced food. No Lagos market wahala. With Iyaloja Direct weekly foodstuff sharing in Lagos:
You save up to 40% on everyday food items because you’re buying as part of a group
No matter how small you are buying, you enjoy bulk prices because many people are buying at once
You don’t need to leave your house (or take a Keke to five different markets).
And if something’s out of stock or cheaper, you get a quick refund—no drama, no chasing.
