Selling crypto in Zaria
Zaria is two towns in one. The old walled city, seat of the Emir of Zazzau, carries centuries of history. Around it, Samaru, Sabon Gari and Kongo are full of students and lecturers, because Zaria is home to Ahmadu Bello University, one of the largest universities in Africa. If you are part of that campus world and hold crypto, Snapiro lets you sell it from your room in Samaru without a trip to Kaduna.
ABU and the other schools
ABU has its main campus in Samaru and another in Kongo. Zaria also has the Federal College of Education, the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology and several other schools. Many students here pay for data, transport and food from small online earnings, and a ₦4,000 sale is handled with the same care as a large one.
Samaru, Sabon Gari and the city
Samaru is the student heart of Zaria, with shops, printing centres and lodges around the ABU gate. Sabon Gari is the busy trading area along the main road, and Zaria City, behind the old walls, is where many long-time residents live and trade. The app works the same in all three.
Getting paid in Zaria
After the deposit lands, move the naira to your bank, or to a wallet like OPay if you prefer to collect cash from a POS agent in Samaru. Zaria is supplied by Kaduna Electric, so lodges with prepaid meters can be topped up from your Snapiro wallet.
For ABU students
- Get your account verified before the semester gets busy.
- Do not send twice if the campus network is slow. Check the deposit history in the app first.
