My name is Olalekan Opeyemi Kazeem. I built VaultMart, and I’m the person you can hold accountable if anything goes wrong.
Buying things online in Nigeria has been broken for too long. Someone sees a phone on Instagram, sends ₦150,000 to a stranger, and hopes for the best. Sometimes the phone arrives. Sometimes the seller blocks them. There’s no in-between, and no recourse.
I didn’t get scammed myself, but I watched it happen to people around me. Friends, family, strangers in WhatsApp groups. The same story playing out over and over. I had the technical and business skills to build a fix. So I did.
VaultMart is built on one simple idea: when you pay for something, your money should not reach the seller until you confirm you actually got what you ordered. That’s what escrow is. That’s the entire product. The rest is just details.
I’m running this as a solo founder, in public, with my real name attached to everything. If VaultMart ever fails, I have nowhere to hide. That’s not bravery — it’s just accountability. If I’m asking Nigerians to trust this platform with their money, the least I can do is be findable.
I read every support ticket. I respond to every email. If something on VaultMart doesn’t work the way it should, I want to know. The only way I can build something Nigerians actually trust is by being available when it matters.
