About Shaqimali

A passion for authentic African culture, food, and community — built into every product we sell and every shipment we make.

Born From Love for Africa

Shaqimali African Store started over a decade ago with a single goal: to make authentic African food products accessible to every African, wherever they live in the world.

Our founder, a proud Nigerian, moved abroad and struggled to find the same quality of palm oil, crayfish, and ogbono that tasted just like home. That frustration sparked an idea — and Shaqimali was born.

Today, we serve hundreds of customers across Nigeria, the UK, the USA, and beyond — supplying bulk food items, wholesale drinks, and handling international vehicle shipping. We've grown, but our values remain the same: authenticity, quality, and community.
