u know nothing bro!


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

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:
The venture isn't totally a waste.
The mall is state govt owned, and the franchise given to shoprite and other outlets. If they can do biz profitably there, the state govt can convert it to another use.
The place is large enough for a tech-hub and other 21st century enterprise.[/b] I would have sited a mini silicon valley there.[b]

Abagworo:


Shoprite failure in Onitsha only proves that there is low population of middleclass in the city. Maybe almist everyone is trying to make ends meet. I personally find it very difficult entering a filthy open market and it is so for most upper middle class in Port Harcourt. Mile one, Oil Mill, Creek Road etc are well patronised but yet there are hindreds of thousands left that have barely been to the open markets in their life time.

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 , 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.

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.

Sponsored report. I was in Onitsha mall last weekend. I took this pix. The mall don't even contain the crowd

willibounce1:
See flattinos trying hard to defend the issue at hand. I have always said it. The only thing most flattinos know how to do is to brag and do wuruwuru business. They make small change and make the loudest noise.

How can they be able to afford things at shop rite when they are used to buying fake goods due to poverty. They even eat fake snacks. Na dem go out garden egg for inside egg role. Na person wey don chop belleful dey go shoprite Na. The only thing they go to shoprite to do is to take pictures with the fake clothes, dress up like childish juvenile and buy 2 for 50 naira biscuit, then upload pictures on NL and Facebook with captions " choplite" things...

More from last week outing to the Onitsha mall.

Decryptor:
Hehehehehe! I'm not surprised! We are Anambrans. Things like Shoprite no dey freak us cos there are big supermarkets all over Onitsha alone where you get all you want. Whatever South Africa brings into Nigeria to Shoprite, an Anambra man has it already in his backyard.

Unlike the zone of the popular e-warriors here on NL who are lazy and get over-excited over the mere sight of Sneakers Chocolate Bar.

mazimee:
I really was expecting this report. I laugh those that took shops at Shoprite. It was a heavy mis calculation on their part.
Onitsha is surrounded with different busy markets that specialise on all kinds of goods. Majorie domestic goods.

The beauty of these markets is the fact that their locations are at strategic sites which are very close to different places.
Someone living at Fegge has Head Bridge, Ochanja and Main Market as the closest market run to for his needs.
Another living in Odoakpu has Ochanja or main markets for his needs.
Another living at Woliwo has Ochanja and Relief market for his needs.
Someone living at Awada can trek to Relief market or Head Bridge or even Electronics for his home gadgets.

Shoprite saw these markets still wanted to compete with these markets when they are not selling at a cheaper rate?? . I laugh at their stupidity.

RockHard:
Na low-purchasing power cause am. Na outsiders dey patronize Onitsha markets pass. The locals no get money to patronize the likes of Shoprite not to talk of luxury stuff.

Ara adugbo e ma gba wa o!!! Look at this beastly nit-wit forming champion on nairaland??

Why would I go to Shoprite to buy a can of [b]processed [/b]green peas for thousands of naira when I can enter Ose market and buy [b]fresh [/b]peas for a third of that price? Shoprite is there for that mugu that wants to thrill his GF on a date. Besides that, make then carry go
