Marvieduke:
I would just say there is competition in the market where new products are been introduced..... They should just tell us they want to rebrand with a new name.

I like u....just felt it should be good we hang out

Some dundees are saying it has nothing to do with the last and current administration that has bastardised the economy.

Why would you exit a flourishing market, name one quality detergent better than sunlight....none!


If you can compromise the quality of your product you have no other option than to exit

Very unfortunate
You’ll still buy but imported
Jobs shipped to another country

When politicians and crooks like Dangote love forex how e go dey available for legitimate businesses?

Dangote will sell us fuel at the price of #50/lt soon and a bag of rice will go back to the 8k it was selling for when Jonathan was intimidated out of office barely 9 years ago.

It just feels like yesterday, Buhari came in promising Eldorado. But upon seeing that it isn't as easy as Jonathan made it look, they decided to devise a means that will ensure that Nigerians don't give them the Ghadaffi treatment>>>> TRIBALISM.

At this point, someone has to step in or else...
Anyone waiting for a revolution is just wasting his time. All the APC has to do is pay Sam Larry and his thugs to infiltrate whatever protest or revolution and cause mayhem.

You are intelligent. The write up captures everything.

Akwamkpuruamu:


My brother, when u consider the reasoning of some people you share same country with, you become speechless...

This is very true

Maybe indigenous firms can spring up to produce similar or even better products....
Let's just hope the government does not frustrate their efforts

ee don finally burst!

I told ppl dat d real Coca-Cola left since d mid 90s, wetin una dey buy drink since na saccharine mixed wit color topped wit anyhow gas to make una think say dem still dey operation in naija here!

Only Lacasera is d real deal uptil now!

We need liquid detergents. Powder detergents fade clothes too fast.be in in washing machine or hand-wash. Liquid detergents are needed

Emilokan weldone oh



After 8years Nigerians go get sense...

I hope it is Nigerian owned business is the ones taking market share from them .
Just like Biggie is doing to Coke and Pepsi which is the way to real economic growth for the nation.

Dialpad:
Welcome development, now indigenous companies can now take advantage of the situation.

I bet you and God is our witness that if Jonathan was in power now, you wouldn't have said this.


Most of you are so trabaliatic to the point that you are even enemies of your future.

Them take Una name go native doctor?

Nawaooo!

SmartPolician:
If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Understand: they have massive infrastructure investment, high personnel cost, and the Chinese are being allowed to flood the market with cheap products. In a recession, people buy what they can afford, without caring about quality. If it's cheaper for them to produce in Ghana, they are best served by renting off their factories and moving production elsewhere.

Nigeria is the loser in the end.

atiku4President:
Harsh economy will only grind the wheel of production to a halt

You claim it's harsh economy but there are now so many detergent products in the market compared over 20 years ago that it was almost only Omo, lux and joy. Let's be more practical when commenting and not be too pessimistic.

Chai! Some of the most popular products we grew up to see are going extinct in Nigeria.

Soon, we will be importing them from the UK.

Chai! Nigeria! We hail there!

When last did you buy Omo detergent? How many homes even use am unlike old days? The product couldn't withstand the market competition due to varieties of detergent in the market

You are on point with your assertion, these brands have never been up and doing since there Inception into the Nigerian Market, tge said OMO isn't even foamy, never liked it when growing up, thank God klin and Ariel came to my rescue as regards washing of clothes, OMO was nothing to write home about, they were living on the premise that they own Nigeria as you have joined, Unilever brothers,and as such could dish out substandard product to the market, that was one of their biggest undoings..
These has got nothing to do with the economy, they simply can't compete with the new cats in town, Dangote noodles too had to pack up for the big boys within that sector, the competition is strive.

casualobserver:
when i was young there were less than 10 soap brands, lux (which was horrible) joy, pears, tetmosol, imperial leather, palmolive and maybe 1 or 2 others....lux was the worst of all....all were preferable to lux.

Ariel, klin and other new detergents render it unpopular. They ought to have rebranded it long ago to remain in competition with others. They fumbled.

This is purely competition and has nothing to suggest that it is borne out of bad economic policies. Are there other alternative products in the market and why has Unilever consistently suffered loss in those products, a SWOT analysis will provide a clue that the company has failed on its research and development in rebranding and repacking the products. Customers have discovered better alternatives and probably at lower cost

Apart from bad gov policies,corruption amongst the management staff members of these multinationals too play a role.
My experience with someone that works with Friesland

Products wey newer products don push go background.

That's just it for Omo!
Lux was my bathing soap and I used to buy one pack at a time. I just discovered that the price gradually increased from around N600 to N1200, then it suddenly jumped to N1500 and I stopped buying it. Now, I just understood what happened, its production stopped.

Must they tell us

Beremx:
Omo still dey market? Can't remember the last time I saw the product in the market. They should have rebranded instead of stopping the production. Bringing back the blue color of the detergent would have been nostalgic

They floated another brand which was successful. Sunlight. Companies do that all the time. Floating other products to compete with the flagship product. At the end of the day, all the money comes to them. It's either you are buying Omo or sunlight or another of their products. The company is the winner at the end

Jesus please come to help us.

Do you understand business? Rebranded will cost money us they have competition couple with the fact that cost of production has gone astronomical high.
