Advertising with Maize Break

Why should you want to advertise on MaizeBreak.com? Because all of our readers are primarily male, between the ages of 18-55, and are all Nigerian businessmen with extra income to spend on their girlfriends and illegitimate children. They are the most coveted target market, and you have the opportunity to peddle your goods and services to them right here: on the most trusted news source for African affairs. 

I don’t think you need further convincing. Advertising here is clearly one of, if not the best business moves you will ever make. Just think, within weeks of posting your ad on this esteemed news site, your shops will be crawling with persons of questionable visa/immigration status, eager to line your tills with this weeks hard earned wages. It’s true. Africans love to spend money.

Wishing you peace and prosperity,

Auntie Emma
Marketing Director
