@topic,

I was in Naija this year and went by this area when it was under construction.  What struck me most was the fact that the shopping mall is going to add to the traffci congestion in this area.  Did anyone do a traffic flow analysis to ensure this area does not become a parking ramp for cars that should be moving? 

While the development of such infrastructure is laudable, it bothers me that we do not plan to develop surrounding infrastructure to cater for the incidental increase in demand.

pro01:

I tell you, that is my biggest concern, being that I'm quite familiar with that route. The traffic might just be insuperable every day except Sundays

dagboss:

And Ayobo -Ipaja axis too, eko don baje finish for this area o

Intrepid!:

KFC = Overpriced, crappy food. NDLEA and NAFDAC suppose collabo close those jokers down!

baslone:

Whaooo  ! Thought it was just me!!! KFC is just hype! Nonsense rolled and fried in Flour! Besides being overpriced, the time ain't worth it.

Little wonder you hardly meet a queue in there.

^^^ Pls u guys should not crucify largerwhenindoubt, I understand where he's coming from; seeing as shoprite surulere is the closest he's ever come
to anywhere resembling yankee, he expected to see young & funky guys wearing baggy jeans, T-shirts with bling-bling and fancy looking timbaland boots & probably head-warmer. Instead he saw alaba boyz wearing bathroom slippers shouting at the top of their voice what a shock!!! ;

lagerwhenindoubt:

abi, you can imagine my shock - no where to pose with IPAD or sit in the open showing off no mind dem dayokanu gangsters going to shoppign malls looking like brooklyn or compton gangsters and Eko-ile the Rascal (na joke ooh)

I grew up in the Bode Thomas/Adeniran Ogunsanya axis of Surulere
between the 70's and 80's.

We did not need to wear our best cloths to go shop at the then Adeniran Ogunsanya
shopping complex where Shoprite is now.

We need to come out of this fake lifestyle and be real.
A lot of harm has been done to the simple and easy going Nigerian
of years gone bye by these people that have lost their identity all in the
name of being "big boys and girls".

It has become a big deal now to shop in these so call elite malls.

As kids then we have the pleasure of experiencing these things then  
in places like Kingsway Stores, Leventis, UTC, Bhojhens (can't get the spelling now), PZ etc.

Nigerians should wake up and say no to this neo colonial mindset.

Look man, people don't have to put on their Sunday best and go to the mall although I think one should look appropriate when going to the mall. During summer, I wear flip-flop because when it's super hot, Some people wear tank tops to the mall, shorts, slippers or flip flops, etc , it sure doesn't make them any less than you are, different things work for different folks.


Dont mind them bro, visit Darwin in Northern Australia you will see many Aborigines wearing bathroom slippers entering and going out of shopping malls, cafes and elsewhere dead drunk as early as 10am even in Australia! I dont think wearing a bathroom slippers to a mall is a big deal in as much as the wearer does not wear the type you will see with a scavenger on duty at the Oregun/Ojota gabbage dump site, and do not forget that bathroom slippers is Xtmas wear for some people
