Black Friday: Common Sense Is Not Common In Nigeria by Youngzedd(m): 7:09am On Nov 29, 2015
When will many(60:40) Nigerians start reasoning straight. Online stores were shouting up to 80% and you think they will slash all products to 80% including iPhone 6, Samsung galaxy s6 etc, mehn you're crazy.

Who in his right sense will sell such discount on this high dollar rate. Who in his right sense will sell any product below cost me?

Last Friday made me to understand fully that common sense is not common in Nigeria.

Go rob the online stores, greedy set of people.

50% discount is not realistic, not to talk of 80%, get it now.


No harm meant, but I gotta tell ya all da truth.

80% OFF?


Even if you were given discount, Note that it isn't the cost price not to talk of below cost price.

It means you know nothing about Black Friday, the western world shops that they are copying do sell at crazy prices. It is once a year and the benefits of the awareness covers any temporary loss in the long run.

Someone with a fast finger bought Infinixh Hot 2 for about 9k

Marketing strategy, don't be surprised that only 5 pcs was sold at that price.


To be frank with you, I planned for this Black Friday, checked the normal price of goods I wanted to buy, I was surprised to see same price on Black Friday, and the they hiked the price and still put the normal price. What some of them did was to sell 4 pcs at cheap price to make people believe they did something in black Friday.

After going through different store and saw what they did, I decided to buy nothing.


This are foreign online store I monitored. This is why I like eBay, everyday is black Friday grin

And they made millions believe on unrealistic discount.

That phone you were talking about, go to phone section, people were annoyed that all products with discounts were showing sold out in mid night.


I also noticed it at mid nigh, my question was, who bought those phones and how many pcs were made available.

Guys i did not bother myself on this bcoz last yr wen jumia started it, i tried a lot of products as from 12am nd dey were all sold out. How many pple actualy bought dose products? Its just a ploy to attract so much traffic to dere sites. Next time dey shld indicate how many are in stock or else pple will knw dt it is all scam.
