Is it true that there is now KFC in Lagos, Nigeria. I saw it in today's Punch newspaper, when Dangote's drink company was congratulating KFC for opening its first branch in Nigeria.


I think it is family related because families might go to KFC, lol

Are u sure he was not refering to Kevin Fans Club (KFC) mnet bba4?

KFC is disgusting (probably because their hormone infested chickens). They should put a Popeyes or Louisiana Fried Chicken in Lagos.

I see obesity and cholesterol level shooting up if this is true.

City Hall Onikan.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), one of the global leaders in the fast food service industry, opened its first outlet at the City mall in Onikan, Lagos on Monday, December 14.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Adeniyi Oyemade, performed the formal opening ceremony on behalf of the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola.

The brand was brought to Nigeria, via Devyan International Nig Ltd (formed from a joint venture between RJ Corp of India and Chellarams Plc) and an agreement with Yum Restaurants International (YRI), who are the franchise owners of the KFC brand.

Marc Schreuder, the chief executive officer of Devyan International said the tripartite partnership, was born out of the recognition of Nigerians' crave for excellent and quick service along with quality foods without leaving the country shores. Bruce Layzell, the business development manager of Yum Brands added that the quality of service from KFC outlets in other parts of the world is what they will offer in Nigeria.

The new fast-food spot would open seven days of the week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m,

Harland Sanders founded Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1952 at Louisville, Kentucky, United States. KFC has been operating under Yum Brands since 1997, when the company spun off from Pepsi-co as Trico Global restaurant Inc.

[size=16pt]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY WANT TO COME AND KILL NIGERIANS WITH THERE HORMONE AND POISON INFESTED CHICKENS. PLEASE FASHOLA SHUT DOWN THIS PEOPLE BEFORE THEY GIVE ALL OF US CANCER. [/size]

@ Pittbaby

KFC grilled chicken is not really grilled, haven't you seen the el pollo loco commercial where they expose them of putting artificial grill marks on their chicken?

KFC in Nigeria
Please, someone tell me this is a joke.

Chicken giving cancer. LOL! It is true that america leads the world in cancer cases but that is ridiculous. The food quality in Nigeria is far less than par. At least the quality of the food served in this joint will be closely monitored. I also doubt that the chickens used to supply this store will be flown in from American farms. They will be farmed on African soil most likely. You should worry less about this fast food joint and more about improving Nigeria as a whole. It is not the cleanest or easy place in the world to live. Some true to heart Nigerians worry for the wrong reasons. Nigerians are without a doubt one of the most intelligent races of people on the planet yet Nigeia is one of the most ass backwards, under-developed countries in the world. If you like the food eat. If not, don't eat it. Fastfood has been around in Nigeria forever. LOL. The roadside vendors, that is fast food. Think about it. Think of how unsanitary it is to prepare and serve food on the busy roadsides of Nigeria. But I am sure you have eaten from one of these vendors.

Welcome change! Embrace it. Good or bad Nigeria will learn, grow and prosper from the introduction of new business models.

chaircover:

Lets not forget that many of our traditional fast food meals are fried anyway; akara, dodo, puff puff, chin chin, dodo Ikire, robo, plantian chips, dundu etc

If eaten in moderation, then there shouldn't be any problems.

The cost will most probably out of the reach of most Nigerian's anyway; Not many people can afford to pay N5,000 for a meal for 2 on a regular basis.

U dey make man salivate.

It a bad idea havin that nasty KFC in Nigeria
I can see the obesity rasing

I don't think it's gonna make any difference. There are lots of fast food joints like KFC already in Naija, like Chicken republic, Tastee fried chicken etc. Its just the brand they are bringing.

I am not a protectionist at all but i think that there are some of our industries that we seriously need to protect from foreign competition like the "light" industries like textile, agricultural and fast food industry.

I love Nigeria!!!

Another excuse for obessed kids and lazy girls *hisses*

No, I will say another opportunity for lovers to prove/show off their undying love for their love-victims.

I guess the Xmas catching sentence in Naija for guys will be 'Let me take you out on a date to KFC' 

Yeah heard about this ish the other day. . . .

Fast food outlets are all over the place, one KFC outlet wont make any much difference to the existing situation!

even teir noodles are bad my mom made them and i told my mom never give me dangote again

yes o!! its in onikan, took the kids there while in 9ja 4 xmas, we couldnt believe it but its not the same sha, still the hard 9ja chicken or fowl, just like 9ja Nandos, lol

Yup it's there at City Mall, Onikan. I had it and the chicken and burgers were as good as the UK's or even better as they also had a hot and crispy or something that's not offered here. I think they have the best fries in 9ja. However, the queues were too long, about 30-45mins waiting time but that was when they'd just opened.

It's too expensive so shouldn't result in obesity issues like they do in the US and UK; most people won't be able to afford it easily on a daily basis, can only be a treat.

The lucky Indian that got the franchise. God give us all direction and grace to follow.

I don't see what the fuss is about. If KFC is good enough, it will survive. Chances are people will go for it because it's a novel idea, once that wears off KFC may simply fold. I have seen this happen before.

So far there's only one branch, best to adopt a "watch and see" attitude.

Another place to go this valentine's day.

Yep, one in City mall and another one in Palms

Congrat Nigerians. I can't just believe it when i was looking at some pic's of Lagos carnival on Face Book and i saw their advert, whooa. I love streetwize 2 so much.

We also need Fish n Chips in NJA tooo

Ive been going there. . . .the place looks like a 'pick-up' joint.
Only a few kids will be adversely affected by the estrogen in the chicken (if any) the grub is damn too costly for the average joe.
