Lol.

Setting up a Shoprite in Onitsha,is like trying to sell water to the people of Bayelsa State(Bayelsa is covered by water),or trying to out drink an Urhobo man in a drinking competition or even trying to play an Ibo man Wayo.

crap crap crap. the mall isn't booming now is as a result of the economy, its affecting the purchasing power of the people. come to lag, cold stone ice cream and dominos pizza wey people dey rush wellaz before every weekend. these days their fast food outlets has been looking like a shadow of its former self. dont believed this crap written here, low patronage is something affecting the whole nation. peoples purchasing power has been eroded these past months. look around you and you will tell for urself #fear the news media ooooo

The richest city in Africa can't even keep a single shoprite branch outlet Afloat? LMAO
Even the ones in Akure, Ibadan and Ilorin are thriving, not to mention the numerous outlets in Lagos.
I always tell Nigerians, Igbos are more into informal and unregistered economy, any attempt to bring regulation, formalisation and order to any Igbo dominated venture or towns will fail woefully.

Onitsha will crumble finally when Asaba shoprite goes live y December. Thank God they have stop work at Nnewi's shoprite which is located at the worst place such thing should be.

I wonder who did the business consultation for Onitsha and Nnewi's shoprite. They are ill advised and so will later fold up.

Montaque:

You missed the enugu outlet, why is it thriving still? Or is enugu not an ibo state.
The point is that onitsha has many markets (49 regular markets at last count), so any such enterprise like a mall, plaza, call it shoprite or walmart will have little or low patronage. That's onitsha for u.

No shopping mall can survive in Onitsha as far we still have main market and other markets.

I always tell Nigerians, Igbos are more into informal and unregistered economy. Any attempt to bring regulation, formalisation and order to any Igbo dominated venture or towns , and only two things can happen:

*- Such effort will fail woefully, and they will continue with their "wuruwuru"/clandestine trading style.
*- The so called rich businessman will suddenly become poorer than a church rat.

It is never going to work.

Everything inside the Shoprite,Is manufactured locally behind the Shop rite,but only cheaper.

Shoprite in Onitsha not going to work.

Whoever that wrote this trash had not been to Onitsha shoprite before.
If i had seen this bull.poo around 3pm. I would have taken pictures of people almost fighting cos of que just to buy bread.
Onitsha shoprite shuts their doors and stop people from going in almost every sunday cos of over crowd.
If this writer had said ONITSHA MALL idles away, i wouldhave said he is right.
Cos right now, apart from few businesses like Kilimanjaro, Blueribbon, SLOT, Priceless etc. Most of the shops are yet to be taken.
Bros, take a walk to shoprite anyday especially weekend, u will have a different mindset. This writeup is trashy bull.poo & filled with mis information.

Investigation has also shown that while the ones in Awka and Nnewi are at different stages of activities, that of Onitsha has remained deserted and a ghost of itself

Your analogy using Bayelsa is flawed, I lived in Bayelsa and I'm telling you that they buy water from Delta and Rivers States. You know why? There water is not healthy for consumption and very hard water which will go through alot of processing because of the toughness nature, so the people of Bayelsa buy water from those States because those States are more on the hinterland than riverine like Bayelsa. In short they import water in Bayelsa, so next time get your facts right bro

nwaanambra1:
imagine what both of u are smoking?




u know nothing bro!


water is the fastest selling commodity in the entire Bayelsa State!

Trust Anambrarians, no time for doling out extra cash over some items you can get fairly cheaper in nearby shops. Besides Anambrarians don't sped foolishly like ndi owerri who looks unnecessary showmanship and good time!
