| Nigerians are increasingly moving towards internet commerce. Most purchases are made via smartphones. |
 | |
| Online security is the number one concern for consumers. |
 |
| The convenience of online retail is the most appealing aspect. |
 |
| Young professionals are most likely to embrace e-commerce. |
Readers should be aware that the Nigerian cyber crime industry is worth $9.3 billion, at last count. Conversely, spending on cyber security falls noticeably short at just $930 million for the entire continent.
The demographic dividends of a young, upwardly mobile domestic population that embraces the opportunities afforded by smartphones, the convenience that comes with online retail and banking services will need to be matched by an increase in cyber security spending and cyber crime awareness.
Nigerians are already overwhelmingly plagued by malware aimed at smartphones. An increase in the importance of smartphones in everyday life will increase the need for solutions to smartphone security issues.
