  • 6 tips to Buy Safely from Tonaton, Pepapa.com, Jiji or any other Classifieds site

    6 tips to Buy Safely from Tonaton, Pepapa.com, Jiji or any other Classifieds site

    Tonaton, Pepapa.com and Jiji (formerly OLX ) are among the biggest online classified websites in Ghana. We have already compared Tonaton and OLX in the past and done a review on Pepapa.com.

    With a lot of sales and purchases been transacted daily on both Tonaton, Pepapa and Jiji, we present readers of Mfidie.com with 6 tips to help you stay safe on the platforms.

    1. The cheaper, the riskier.
      Always buy items whose price does not deviate much from other items in the same category. If it’s too good to be real, it most probably is not real.
    2. Never make a down payment before meeting the seller. Never!
    3. Always meet in person and at a Public Place too. This gives you the chance to check what you’re buying. You are less likely to suffer from “Kwashee” if you are meeting at a public place.
    4. Check the item(s) carefully. Cross check with the ad if necessary. Make sure all items listed in the ad is what you actually have before you.
    5. Ask for “papers”. This is most applicable when buying a car, or electronics. Ask for receipts if it involves a huge sum and try take a photo of the seller with their consent first. If documentation is important for what you are buying and the seller can not get it for you, it is better you don’t buy at all.
    6. Avoid following people to their “homes” or “offices” and go with a friend (especially an expert in what you are buying) if you are not comfortable going alone. Don’t trust someone too much just because of what they say. Stay alert and trust your instincts.
    Remember to make safety a priority when making online transactions.

  • 2 “Made In Ghana” Games on the Play Store I love to play

    2 “Made In Ghana” Games on the Play Store I love to play

    Ghanaian games or apps in general on Google Play are not so much, and the few that have made it there are usually criticized for having either too many adverts or very poor User Interface. Truth be told, a lot of the Ghanaian Developers are more interested in making web apps than apps for Android and iOS.

    This past weekend, I decided to download a lot of Ghanaian Games from Google’s Play Store. I asked a few friends for recommendations and I had quite a good list to explore. Overall, I played about 6 different Ghanaian Games but here are the two games that I have not removed from my phone yet. I have enjoyed playing them and will continue to play them for quite some time.

    1. Oware3D

      Oware is a Mancala styled game that is played in West Africa and some parts of Asia. It’s an interesting game full of very simple and complex calculations and anticipations. Your goal, as with other Mancala style games is to capture more seeds than your opponent.

      Oware 3D by Kobby’s Hobby made it to the scene at the 2013 MTN Apps Challenge and it is currently one of the best Android Games coming out of Ghana.
      The game has both single player mode and online multiplayer mode (which is still in its BETA). The game has High Definition (HD) Graphics and a very nice fluid gameplay.
      Last Saturday, I had a friend over at my place and we played Oware 3D on my phone in the local two player mode.

      If you do not know how to play Oware, worry not – the game has a very nice interactive tutorial to get you through understanding the concept quite easy. Other noticeable features of the game is the ability to invite someone via Facebook and to chat with someone during an online Multiplayer game session.

    2. Cedi Rush

      Cedi Rush is a 2D game developed by Heptagon Technology. The storyline for this game is quite simple. It features a character known as “Kwame Ninja”, who is a penniless homeless guy. You play the game as Kwame Ninja in a quest to amass wealth in a cedi rich jungle whilst escaping the many obstacles. The game promises an amazing journey!
      The Ghanaian Game Cedi Rush on the Google Play Store

      I have played this game for quite a while and what I do love about it is the ability to run on very low specs android phones (It played very welll with my phone on Battery Saver Mode). There is also a high score reminder that lets you know and seeks to challenge you to beat your high score. Check this: The game has a 5.0 rating on the Play Store.
