Migo Emerges as West Africa’s Most Trusted Gift Card Trading Platform, Offering Instant Cash for Apple, Steam,Razer Gold, and 50+ Gift Card Brands
The Migo – Sell Gift Cards app is redefining how Nigerians and Ghanaians convert unused gift cards into instant cash — with the best exchange rates, bank-level security, and payments delivered in minutes.
Migo, a leading fintech platform in West Africa, today announced a major expansion of its gift card trading services, positioning itself as the definitive solution for Nigerians and Ghanaians seeking to sell gift cards for cash at the best available market rates. The platform now supports over 50 gift card brands — including Apple Gift Card, Amazon Gift Card, Go2Bank Gift Card, Google Play Gift Card, Visa Gift Card, Steam Wallet, and many more — with instant payment directly to Nigerian bank accounts and Ghanaian mobile money wallets.
West Africa’s Gift Card Market Is Booming — and Underserved
Gift cards have become one of the most widely circulated financial instruments in Nigeria and Ghana. Driven by growing diaspora remittances, the rise of remote work, international e-commerce, and corporate reward programmes, millions of dollars worth of gift cards flow into West Africa every year.
Apple Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, Google Play Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards, Steam Wallet Gift Cards, eBay Gift Cards, Vanilla Visa Gift Cards, American Express Gift Cards, Sephora Gift Cards, Go2Bank Gift Cards, and Razer Gold Gift Cards are among the most commonly received cards in the region. Yet the vast majority of these cards cannot be used for everyday purchases in Nigeria or Ghana — they are locked to US or UK retail ecosystems.
Millions of naira in gift card value go unused every month across Nigeria and Ghana because recipients do not know where to sell safely.
Until recently, those looking to convert gift cards to cash had few good options. Social media groups on WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Marketplace were riddled with fraudsters. Unregulated local dealers offered unpredictable rates and slow payment. The market urgently needed a trustworthy, technology-driven platform.
Migo was built to fill exactly that gap.
Migo – Sell Gift Cards: Built for Nigeria. Built for Ghana. Built for Speed.

FoodCourt, a Nigerian cloud kitchen startup backed by Y Combinator, has suspended operations after months of unpaid salaries and mounting debts to vendors triggered a staff strike and forced the company to halt customer orders, according to a report by TechCabal.
The publication reported that customers first noticed on March 4 that they could no longer place orders through the FoodCourt app after the company disabled ordering as kitchen workers, delivery personnel and branch staff embarked on strike over unpaid wages. The company also owed outstanding payments to vendors.
By April 19, FoodCourt had temporarily shut its last operating branch after suspending activities across its Lagos and Abuja locations while seeking fresh funding and restructuring the business, according to the report.
The company’s chief executive, Mr Henry Nneji, said the decision to pause operations was not caused by a single issue but by a combination of operational, organisational and working-capital challenges.
“It’s important to clarify that the decision to pause operations wasn’t driven by one single issue. We reached a point where it became clear that continuing to patch those issues while operating wasn’t the right long-term decision,” he said.
“The objective is to build a stronger business than the one that existed before the suspension. We fully intend to bring FoodCourt back,” he added in an emailed response.
The company acknowledged outstanding obligations to employees, vendors, riders and service providers, but declined to disclose the number of affected workers or the total amount owed. It said efforts were underway to resolve the liabilities as part of its restructuring process.
It was also reported that the startup’s financial difficulties worsened after expansion into additional locations increased operating costs, while its cloud kitchen model came under pressure from rising labour, logistics, food and marketing expenses.
Despite the shutdown, Mr Nneji said FoodCourt intends to relaunch after completing its restructuring, adding that the company believes demand for its products remains strong.
Founded in 2021 by Henry Nneji and Paul Adokiye Iruene, FoodCourt operates cloud kitchens under multiple virtual restaurant brands through its consumer app. According to TechCabal, the startup had previously disclosed raising $1.7 million, delivering more than one million meals and reaching $4.3 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2024.
