Compiling a list of 50 real Nigerian products with their real names, barcodes, and image URLs is challenging due to limited access to comprehensive, publicly available databases that include verified barcode numbers and image URLs for Nigerian-specific products. Barcode data is typically proprietary, managed by organizations like GS1 Nigeria, and not freely accessible in bulk. Additionally, image URLs for specific products often require direct links to retailer or manufacturer websites, which may not be consistently available or stable. However, I can provide a structured approach to gather this information, offer a partial list of known Nigerian products, and guide you on how to complete the list.
Approach to Gathering the Data
Product Names: Identify popular Nigerian products across categories like food, beverages, cosmetics, household goods, and pharmaceuticals. These can be sourced from market trends, local brands, and consumer goods commonly sold in Nigeria.
Barcodes: Barcodes (EAN-13 or UPC-A) are unique to each product and assigned by GS1 Nigeria or resellers like Lite Barcodes or Barcodes Nigeria. Exact barcode numbers are not publicly listed for most products without scanning physical items or accessing retail databases. I can suggest methods to obtain them.
Image URLs: Images can be sourced from e-commerce platforms (e.g., Jumia, Konga), brand websites, or social media. However, URLs may change, so I’ll provide examples and recommend searching for current links.
Limitations: Without direct access to a GS1 database or physical products, I’ll provide a sample list of products and explain how to verify barcodes and images. For a complete list, you may need to scan products or contact manufacturers.
Sample List of Nigerian Products
Below is a partial list of 10 well-known Nigerian products with their real names, placeholder barcode information (since exact numbers require verification), and example image URLs where available. I’ll then explain how to expand this to 50.

Image URLs: The provided URLs are illustrative, based on typical e-commerce platforms. You should verify current URLs by searching on Jumia, Konga, or brand websites, as links may expire.

How to Obtain Exact Barcodes and Image URLs
Barcodes:
Physical Scanning: Purchase or borrow products and use a barcode scanner app (e.g., Zebra, Barcode Scanner Pro) to read EAN-13 barcodes.
GS1 Nigeria: Contact GS1 Nigeria (gs1ng.org) to request barcode data for specific products, though this may require a fee or membership.
Retailers: Check with major retailers like Shoprite or Spar Nigeria, who may provide barcode data for inventory items.
Manufacturers: Reach out to brands (e.g., Dangote, Nestlé Nigeria) via their websites or customer service for barcode details.
Image URLs:
E-commerce Platforms: Search for products on Jumia (jumia.com.ng), Konga (konga.com), or Jiji (jiji.ng). Copy the image URL from the product listing.
Brand Websites: Visit official sites (e.g., www.nestle-cwa.com for Milo, www.unilevernigeria.com for Omo) for high-quality images.
Social Media: Check Instagram or X posts from brands or retailers for product images. Use tools like “Save Image As” to get URLs.
Verification:
Use barcode lookup services like www.barcodelookup.com to verify barcode numbers against product names.
Ensure images match the product by cross-checking with multiple sources.
Challenges and Recommendations
Data Gaps: Exact barcode numbers are proprietary and not publicly listed for most products. You may need to physically collect products or collaborate with retailers.
Dynamic URLs: E-commerce image URLs change frequently. Regularly update links by searching for products on retail sites.
Local Brands: Some products (e.g., plantain chips) are from small-scale producers, making barcode data harder to find. Focus on major brands for consistency.
Bulk Data: For a full list of 50, consider purchasing a bulk barcode lookup service from www.barcodelookup.com or similar platforms, though this may not guarantee Nigerian-specific products.
Next Steps
Expand the List: Use the 40 additional product suggestions above and follow the same format as the sample table. Search for each product on Jumia or Konga to find image URLs.
Collect Barcodes: If you have access to a supermarket or store, scan products using a mobile app to record EAN-13 numbers.
Contact GS1 Nigeria: For authoritative barcode data, apply for a GS1 Company Prefix or request product data directly (gs1ng.org).
Automate Search: Use a web scraper (with permission) to extract image URLs from e-commerce sites, ensuring compliance with terms of service.
If you want me to generate a table for the remaining 40 products with hypothetical barcodes and placeholder URLs, or if you need help with a specific category (e.g., only food products), let me know! Alternatively, I can guide you on setting up a barcode scanning process or contacting Nigerian retailers for data. What’s your preference?
