What Is Ojawaju And How Does Ojawaju Work?
Moving to a new country, or city, can feel unfamiliar and daunting, especially as an African migrant, and then you have no idea where to find familiar people or stuff. Where to buy pepper soup, nkwobi, fufu, palm oil, nyama choma, luwombo, or achu soup.
Well, Ojawaju wants to help you make your new city a new home easily.
