In the last quarter of 2023 Mr. Akinbode called me and asked "Ifeanyi do you have the barber's number beside you?" I stammered and said "Nooo Sir"

He said he wanted to know when they open (in a sad and a low tone).

I really felt for him that night.

Few hours later, on my way back home, I realised that the new plaza they started building few months ago on my street is close to completion, with about 35 shops and office spaces.

All these shops will be occupied by great businesses with great potentials. Now how will their local customers and buyers find them?

Then it dawn on me that I can no longer push aside the idea of listarn, after my encounter with Mr. Akinbode and my constant observations of thousands of shops, local services and local businesses brewing up every day in every busy cities of Nigeria.

I really didn't want to start the listarn project, but now it seems that I had no other option.

Now that listarn is here . I strongly advice you to come on board and witness the effort we are making to connect you to great businesses, services and organisations close to you.

If you run a local business, then go to listarn.com/addls to submit your business on listarn and allow your local customers to find you easily.

I wish you the best.

Stick around for more.
