Buy, Sell, and
Connect Locally.
Buy, sell, and discover products and services within your campus community. It's fast, simple, and trusted.
Rakata.ng was created to make campus buying and selling easier for students across Nigeria. From gadgets and fashion to accommodation, tutorials, and student services, Rakata helps students connect without stress.
The Story Behind Rakata
Built for Nigerian
Campus Life.
Rakata started from a simple observation: students buy and sell things every day, but there's no platform truly built around campus life in Nigeria.
Most students rely on WhatsApp statuses, random group chats, or social media posts to sell items. Buyers struggle to find trusted sellers nearby, and many good deals disappear quickly because there's no organized marketplace for students.
"We wanted to change that."
Rakata was built to create a campus-first marketplace where students can easily discover products and services around them. A place where finding a roommate, buying a used phone, selling lecture materials, or offering a service becomes simple and accessible.
Our goal is to make student commerce smarter, safer, and more connected — starting with campuses in Nigeria and expanding across Africa.
