Hi everyone, just got back from Lagos and had to share this with you all.  Amazing!!! My cousin took me to a shop in Lagos where everything was N500.  I could not believe my eyes really, we got stuff from Mothercare (the labels and price still on), shoes, clothes and toiletries.

Nigerians are really amazing!!!  How can they sell stuff so cheap? From the UK oh! not even China.  I really enjoyed the experience of shopping there but it got me really worried about my plans to open a shop in Calabar.  It will be impossible to compete with that sort of pricing.

Any business tips would be appreciated.  Are there lots of shops in Nigeria now selling at these cut-throat prices??

where is this place?

It is in an arcade in Ogba but I cannot remember the name. It is opposite the Blue X hospital.

ok thanks, I know that arcade, however will need to ask around for the N500 store, tks for the piece of info.

hi Jino

sorry for going off topic, I was just curious to know how the roads were in the ogba area and lagos in
general. Any improvements ?  I haven't been home in a while and the roads around that area were
pretty bad then.

Many thanks. 

Actually the roads were fine, not too much traffic. I stayed with my cousin in Adeniyi Jones and she took me to this shop. We
drove for maybe 15mins? She did say they were done recently but the rains came down and,

Nigerian contractors for you there.

damola1:
if you know the arcade then you should find it no prob.  The shop is inside the Arcade on the ground floor - do you live in Ogba?

Because my cousin said everyone in Ikeja goes there but they do not tell the Island people. Lol.

Could someone please give directions i'd love to have my own share o

Hello

okay everyone, here is the address of the shop - Shop 19 Ogba Shopping Arcade, Ijaiye Rd Ogba Ikeja.

opposite Blue cross hospital or some eatery (Tastee maybe, not sure). The shop is on the ground floor and there is parking. It is open everyday except Sunday until about 6pm.

I was there on Tuesday so it is defn. still operating and everything in the shop was being sold for N500

This sounds serious, do they sell cars there?

and why would you ask that or , are you Trying to be funny

Can someone please define EVEYTHING on this post?What kind of goods do they have in the store because at my bus stop u can buy almost anything with N500 e.g shoes,shirts,slippers,watches,wall clocks etc

Unbelievable, the shop is still there. Could not resist checking it out on my recent trip.

@JINO
The shop is still there?, u didnt mention if the PRICE of items have changed, or has it not?

The price of the items are still N500 each and the selection/variety was very impressive. Kudos to the owners as it just goes to show that there are still Nigas with hearts. I think people just go there all the time cos it was still as packed with customers as the first time I went there.

As for this shop, you have to visit it to believe it,

I C, Will they be there this Saturday? and let me know what they sell at that price?

It's November already, and I'm curious - do items there still sell for N500? Is this shop still operating at all?

By the way, I noticed the poster (Jino) has clearly avoided the question boggling the minds of many here (inadvertently, perhaps) - Pray tell, what exactly are the "every single item" being sold in this 'mystery shop'? An explicit response to this pertinent question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

yes ooooooooooooooo,its still there

What manner of shop is that where[b] EVERYTHING [/b] goes for N500? You mean a blazer suit of say N8,000, or a standing fan of about N4,000 could be obtained for N500 . We need more explanation please.

All those of you asking for address, i pray you'll be able to come out of the so called shop safe and sound. Let's be wise abeg, awoof dey run belle.
