MyHomeEtal and MICRODIA Launch Strategic Partnership to Tackle Nigeria’s ₦15 Trillion Tech Accessory Gap

Nigeria’s consumer electronics market is undergoing a seismic shift from “disposable” tech to “durable” infrastructure.

In a move set to redefine the standards of the local mobile accessories market, MyHomeEtal Limited has officially been appointed as the authorized distributor for MICRODIA, the California-headquartered global leader in premium consumer electronics.

The partnership, formally launched on Thursday in Lagos following a late-2025 agreement, comes at a critical time.

The Nigerian mobile phone accessories market is estimated to grow from USD $0.69 billion in 2024 to USD $1.17 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.01%.

Meanwhile, as of February 2026, Nigeria’s e-commerce and consumer electronics market is projected to reach a staggering $10.49 billion (approx. ₦15.7 trillion), with smartphones contributing to over 82% of all online transactions.

Solving the ‘Battery Stress’ Crisis

For the average Nigerian, the smartphone is the primary gateway to the internet, yet unreliable power supply and sub-standard chargers remain the biggest threats to device longevity.

MICRODIA is entering the market with its proprietary SMARTAI Charging Technology, designed specifically to address the “battery stress” caused by conventional fast-charging.

The 30% Lifespan Boost:

Unlike standard chargers that push constant high voltage, SMARTAI dynamically regulates current based on a device’s real-time battery health.

According to MICRODIA, this can extend a smartphone’s battery lifespan by up to 30%, a significant value proposition in a market where the replacement cycle for premium devices has stretched to nearly four years due to economic headwinds.

SmartGuard Technology:

Designed for Nigeria’s warm climate, the SmartGuard Temperature Safeguard prevents overheating during data transfer and charging, a common cause of cable failure and device degradation in tropical environments.

World-Firsts Arrive in Nigeria

The partnership isn’t just about standard cables; it is bringing “bleeding-edge” hardware to the West African corridor for the first time:

SMARTCube Nano 100W GaN: One of the world’s smallest multi-port chargers, utilizing Gallium Nitride (GaN) to deliver high power in a pocket-sized form factor.

Thunderbolt 5 (2-Meter): An Intel-certified cable capable of ultra-fast data speeds, catering to Nigeria’s growing community of content creators and tech professionals.

Qi2.2 25W Magnetic Power Bank: Features next-generation solid-state battery cells, offering higher energy density and enhanced safety compared to traditional lithium-ion packs.

Elevating the Standard

Speaking on the expansion via a conference call, Louis Leung, president & CEO of MICRODIA, emphasized the strategic importance of the Nigerian market:

“We are deeply honored to partner with MyHomeEtal, a well-established and highly respected company that shares MICRODIA’s unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer trust. This collaboration represents a significant step forward for Nigeria’s consumer electronics market. By introducing our proprietary technologies and world-leading products, we aim to elevate standards, empower consumers with safer and more reliable solutions, and contribute meaningfully to the long-term growth and sophistication of the entire industry across Nigeria and the wider African continent.”

Olawale Odu, CEO of MyHomeEtal, highlighted the consumer-centric vision behind the deal:

“It is a privilege to join forces with MICRODIA, a brand whose dedication to excellence and consumer well-being perfectly aligns with our own vision. Together, we are excited to bring premium, genuinely innovative products to Nigerian consumers and help strengthen the local market by offering greater choice, higher quality, and long-term value to individuals, families, and businesses nationwide.”

A Blow to the ‘Grey Market’

Nigeria’s accessory market has long been dominated by unbranded “grey market” imports that often damage expensive hardware.

By introducing authentic, manufacturer-backed products with a robust logistics network, MyHomeEtal is targeting the premium and mid-to-high segments, dominated by brands like Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi, which together account for over 40% of the global active installed base.

To combat counterfeits, MICRODIA announced that all official products in Nigeria will feature unique serial numbers and registration cards.

Purchases validated via the MyHomeEtal system within two weeks will receive full manufacturer warranties, a move designed to build “peace of mind” in a market often wary of fakes.
