Kilonshele.com is a new e-commerce site that provides ticket sales, marketing and distribution services as well as connects the world to live entertainment events in Nigeria by providing up-to-date information on live events and giving fans opportunity to buy tickets conveniently.
The word “Kilonshele” (pronounced – kee-lone-sheh-leh) is a Yoruba word meaning “what’s happening?” or “what’s going on”?
While writing this post, the site was not accessible, so I guessed the founders deliberately put it off until the official launch today (6pm) at the Silverbird Galleria. So I couldn’t check out their features, technicalities et al. But my colleague over at Web Trends Nigeria did a review of the service.
However, I found that Kilonshele’s logo has an icon (on/off button) that is ubiquitous: too common, too popular. It can be seen everywhere: on phones, laptops, etc Again, the icon on the logo should have been a green colour, instead of red, since red signifies switching off, while green denotes switched on. Plus, the green colour represents anything Nigerian.
Beyond this, Kilonshele.com seems like a start-up to watch!
Update: When you register as a member, the red button switches to green. That’s when you’re switched on!

Hi Loy, nice write up. Concerning the kilonshele icon (the switch), it appears in red when you visit the site. However, when you initiate a transaction (e.g. buy a ticket) you are requested to register then the colour turns to green…meaning, you have now "switched in on". Try it out.
Hey Jide, thanks for stopping by. Tried it out….looks cool;-) Updated post!
