Onitsha Main Market, Ochanja and Bridgehead
Onitsha Main is the buying trip people dread and plan around. Send a verified runner with a ceiling you set — they pay at the stall, photograph the receipt, and escrow pays them back at the handover.

How sending someone works
- 1Post and fund
Say what you need, the most the runner may spend, and a fee. That total is held from your wallet. Nothing goes live unfunded.
- 2They run it
A verified runner accepts, checks in from the queue or the counter, and pays with their own money up to your ceiling.
- 3Hand over
They show a 6-digit code; you type it into your phone. That releases the money — their spend back, plus the fee. Anything unused returns to you.

Questions about Onitsha
- Are there Zendrun runners in Onitsha?
- Not yet. Lagos and Ibadan have the first ones. An errand posted in Onitsha waits on the board until a verified runner in the city accepts it.
- Can a runner buy for me at Onitsha Main Market?
- Yes, and it is the errand the city is made for. You set the most they may spend; it is held in escrow with their fee. They photograph the goods and the receipt, and anything above your ceiling they must ask about before paying.
- How much can a runner spend on a buying trip?
- Never more than your ceiling, and never more than their verification tier allows — a runner's limit goes up as they complete phone, ID and bank checks. Both limits apply; the lower one wins.
- How far does an errand reach in Onitsha?
- 20 km from the centre, covering Main Market, Ochanja, Bridgehead, Fegge, Awada and Nkpor.
