ighoosagie: some moderators here on NL re as*sss* hole,
Banning without reason, feeling like God,
Dis is a forum 4 crying out loud, just lik a Senate house, everyone can't agree 2 a thread, some re supportive, some opposive , others neutral . U guys shld reevaluate ur self n b more professional.
I see no reason why I should get a ban always, being restricted n held against my will in dis new era, metcheew. If one can't get freedom of expression, then d purpose of it called a forum is defeated.
That moderator dat gave me a hr ban yesterday , without apology u re a big fool. Ban me forever if u lik, because little power seun gave u is already making ur head go big lik dat of banky W. Mumu.
God bless nairaland.
God bless Nigeria.

International Shopping Mall? What kind of a shopping mall would that be? Just wondering oo, please dont attack me. undecided
Re: Work Begins On Onitsha Shoprite. by adconline(m): 4:22pm On Jun 29, 2013
These malls are built by different companies like Broll South Africa and Palms Mall Builder. Shoprite is just renting a retail space. If its owned Shoprite, they will not allow a competitor like Game to rent a space.

The Nigerian Woolworths is a South African retail chain. Australian Woolworths was called Safeway untill 2008. The names are similar but no its not the Australian one.

^^^It may well be the case that Onitsha market can sell cheaper goods; but people will be going to Shoprite for the experience.....and they wouldn't need to be an experienced haggler to get a 'fair' price.

chino11: Good one. Onitsha markets are gradually turning into Malls, I noticed this at Main Market Onitsha.

U guys are jokers. What is good about having a super store in a locality? There's nothing good about that, rather, there's everything bad about it. For your information, the presence of Shoprite in Onitsha will definitely lead to the death of so many mom and pop shops within Onitsha and beyond. Shoprite basically sells the same type of products as these mom and pop stores, and obviously, when people are faced with the choice of shopping at Shoprite or at a mom and pop's, they will go for the former. It is never good for the local economy and that's why you see some county governments in the western world resist the siting of these super marts in their locale.

You need to study situations more before commenting. Theoretically nothing stops Nigerian firms from investing in SA. Both nations have reciprocity agreements. The main factor holding back such Nigerian investment is that South Africa does not offer the type of returns for companies as do many faster growing economies on the continent, like Ghana, Kenya, even Liberia. These are where you find Nigerian firms establishing branches, and making serious profits. The South African market is relatively saturated, meaning more competition and lower returns. Businesses hate competition. They will invest where they can capture the largest possible market share.

I see you as the true anambra son. How come Peter Obi suddenly started an 8 floors hotel, an ICC, a shopping mall and road construction in onisha at the 11th hour of his wasted 8 years. Self deceit is worst than suicide. I will urge the next governor of anambra to come with ideas in the clon of Prof. Soludos' to move to enugu and akwa ibom for lessons on development. We progressive Igbos expect the next governor of anambra to develop the greater anambra that will transform the state to a one city state, dualize all the entries into awka and nnewi and collaborate with networth citizens of anambra for a robust investment drive.

Shut u my friend! Has it killed Lagos economy? Some of you reason from anu.s.

The coming of Shoprite in the economic nerve center of SE- Onitsha is more than a welcome development becos it will further make room for competition and general growth of economy. The people that shop in the city of Onitsha are mostly people that come from quite distant states and in most cases other African countries. Making the city another Dubai of Africa.

The vibrancy of Onitsha economy does not depend on residents only or civil servants in Awka. Over 75percent of funds that flows into Onitsha comes from outside of the state.

Keep whinning and crying out bitterness and envy because another Shoprite is coming to Awka apart from the ongoing construction of the Ikenga Shopping Mall also in Awka. Shoprite is equally spreading to Nnewi too.

Afam4eva: I think this Shoprite ish is good for Onitsha because i know business men in Onitsha will not sit down and allow Shoprite to put them out of business. The kind of competition that Onitsha will experience, i cannot imagine. You will see Business men erecting gargantuan structures to outdo each other.
YOU GUYS talk too much. Why have they not erected these structures all this time? Waiting for Shoprite to come

Conversely those state should come and borrow ANIDS development plan in Anambra. Development is beyond road painting and planting grass. AK citizens with all the oil money are still my cook and gateman, so much poverty in the face of huge allocation. As for Enugu state the state is about 15percent urban and 85percent rural. The gov has succeeded in working on only 15percent of the state for 6yrs.

Obi is an all rounder working on the 177 communities and three major cities of Awka , Onitsha and Nnewi at the same time. Its a feat worthy of emulation.

My post addressed only 2 issues: that as a matter of fact, there are no similar Nigerian companies in SA (your justification for this is irrelevant here).Secondly, that the Nigerian govt (at both federal and state levels) practically worship foreign investors / businesses...and they fail to extend the same treatment to local businesses.

I verily believe that no society can develop if the key sectors of the economy are in the hands of foreigners.
