Nigeria just set a big delivery record. 🇳🇬 According to a 13 November 2026 report, Nigerian delivery platform Chowdeck completed more than 100,000 deliveries in a single day for the first time, during its November “Black Friday” campaign. Here’s the fair gist — and the simple Uyo action you can take this Saturday.
Order Lunch or Send a Parcel on WhatsApp
What happened: 100,000 deliveries in one day
As reported by Technext (Mubarak Bankole), Chowdeck co-founder and CEO Femi Aluko shared on Friday, 13 November that the company had passed 100,000 deliveries in one day for the first time. The report says this followed the company’s first November Black Friday promotion on 6 November, when it handled over 73,000 orders in a day.
The campaign, called Project 100K, turned every Friday in November into a Black Friday with discounts and vouchers. According to the report, it covered not only restaurant meals but also groceries and everyday items. Technext also notes that Chowdeck, founded in 2021, operates in Nigeria and Ghana and has been growing its grocery business.
The report ends on a fair point: keeping that volume up depends on riders, restaurants, grocery vendors and operations teams delivering on time and keeping customers happy.
iDeliver has no connection to Chowdeck — we’re reading the news and what it means for getting food and parcels to your door in Uyo.
Why an Uyo reader should care
A six-figure delivery day tells you one thing clearly: Nigerians love having meals, groceries and everyday items brought to them. Ordering from your phone isn’t a Lagos luxury anymore — it’s how busy people across the country eat lunch, stock the kitchen and get errands done.
And the fair point in the report is the one that matters most to you: a record means nothing if your rider is late. What you want on a Saturday in Uyo is simple — the right order, at the right gate, on time.
The Uyo version: one app, the Core4
- Meals — Saturday lunch from kitchens around Uyo: rice and chicken, swallow and soups, grills, small chops.
- Groceries — foodstuff for Sunday cooking and pantry staples, delivered to your door.
- Gadgets — chargers, power banks, earphones and phones.
- Anything — the local parcel or errand: a gift to a wedding venue, a document across town, an item to pick up from a friend.
You see the fare before you confirm, follow your rider on the live map, and share an OTP at handoff when required. Pay with wallet, card or cash on delivery where available.
