shoprite was chased out of East Africa by competition from kenyan supermarkets. http://www.monitor.co.ug/Business/Prosper/The-Shoprite-exit-was-evident-but-just-delayed/688616-2810688-15awubd/index.html

It's funny how they perceive themselves more civilized than other pipo in Africa, that these wacky sort of stuff wouldnt happen in their country.

I think there were rumours of Shoprite trying to get into Kenya by buying Ukwala. I don't know how far that has gone but South African businesses generally don't succeed in Kenya.

But they must be smiling all the way to the bank in Nigeria. Even Seun here is giving them free advertisement.

There so much confusion surrounding the takeover of that Company. I dont know whats going on! Initially, Tuskys was set to take over that supermarket chain in 2013/14. The govt later turned down that takeover bid. Last year I heard about the Botswana firm taking it over, it dint materialize. Now u are telling me about Shoprite!

I must be confusing the retailers. I see it was Choppies of Botswana. Shoprite was mainly in Tanzania and Uganda but due to its habit of stocking mainly South African made products, fell out of favour with esp the Tanzanian govt.

In May, the company entered Kenya, through the acquisition of 10 Ukwala Supermarkets, which it hopes will spread risk further away from the weakening consumer environment in its present markets.

Ah, mzuri sana ndugu....

I dont mind us being teased by pipo out there over some funny incidents that have happened here. However, I feel that u pipo have somewhat gone beyond the pail. It is to the extent of some of u even fabricating stories, or picking up some bizarre stories from other places in Africa and re-labeling the place of occurrence as Kenya.......
I was quite alarmed when somebody here told me that he thot of Kenya a freakish society, owing to the many weird stories about the country he has been encountering here.

asante sana bro... i believe everyone reading your comment will adjust and know that when fun turns unbearable insult, we need to respect each other feelings.

Why are people on this forum so obsessed with Kenya? Even when something happens in Nigeria, they still insist it's Kenya
As others have said there's no Shoprite in Kenya.

Lemme remind the 'saints' that the following events happened in Nigeria this week and I haven't seen Kenyans dissing Nigerians.
1. The Nigerian Central Bank governor's wife was kidnapped ...this is not something to be proud of.

2. Maggots were coming from the private parts of a lady somewhere in Ogun state....from the comments, she was used for money rituals.
Can you imagine living somewhere where you can easily be used for money rituals...scary!!

3. A Nigerian father was raping/sleeping with his 15 year old daughter. That's incest! Not something to be proud of.

Those stories were on Nairaland front page. So as you type "only in Kenya" remember that worse things are happening in Nigeria than in Kenya.

-Also remember there are higher chances of someone who lives in Nigeria to be kidnapped than someone who lives in Kenya.

-There are higher chances of someone who lives in Nigeria to be used for money rituals than someone who lives in Kenya.

-There is a higher chance of someone who lives in Nigeria to be defrauded than someone who lives in Kenya

-Someone who holds a Kenyan passport might be treated in a good way while someone who holds a Nigerian passport might be treated unfairly.

Some people on this forum come off as being totally ignorant of international issues and other countries. If you were not taught in school, it's okay. Google is free. Read and appreciate other countries.

In Kenyan schools (right from primary school), children are taught about other countries. By the time a kid finishes primary school, he/she knows about the whole of Africa.
-He/she knows about cocoa in Ghana, Gold in South Africa, Egyptian pyramids, the African Union, all regional organisations in Africa like COMESA & ECOWAS, petroleum in Nigeria, the system of government in Swaziland, pygmies in Congo, etc

That's why you see some people saying "Kenyans know a lot about us. We are the giants of Africa. They are interested in us, etc" So wrong!
Kenyans know a lot about Africa and the world, so it's not that they are interested in the giant. They can tell you about the Zulu, Yoruba, Ashanti, etc

So read and stop saying "I thought Kenya was a bush with roaming animals!" Or "I don't know where Kenya is on the map" or "Ordinary Kenya" What you call "ordinary" has running systems.

There's NO excuse for being ignorant. A quick Google search will show you that Kenyans don't live on trees!

Stop celebrating ignorance

It apperantly happened in Botswana, Shoprite botswana has confirmed that. what happened was, the couple work in shoprite in the bakery. So they had just passed by to show those who could not make it to the wedding, that indeed, they got married.

The wedding never took place inside shoprite, theynwere just passing by going for photos, then passed by their workplace which is shoprite. Shoprite confirmed that.

Asante sana dada yangu.The sheer amount of malice being shown towards Kenya here is mind boggling even when facts show otherwise.So much hypocrisy,double standards and belittling of others based on skewed viewpoints even when four fingers are pointing back at the accusers themselves.

Hawa watu wana kasumba ,chuki and a hollier-than-thou attitude.Nothing like checking facts because it won't fit in with their ready made prejudice.

Na wa oh! Una don vex oh! Sorry, na. No disrespect meant. It has gone over board, no doubt. No excuse for that. Peace and love.

Karibu sana
It's true.... most stories about "Kenya" some of which happen in Nigeria but are labeled Kenya are aimed at portraying Kenya in bad light .

The world is so small...thanks to the internet.

You know what people fail to understand is that whatever they post here is read by people from different parts of the world and some people can take it personal. Tomorrow a Nigerian might be treated unfairly because someone read a comment on Nairaland and caught feelings.
