Shop owners in the newly opened Ikeja city mall closed temporarily today to protest the imposition of parking fees on visitors to the mall. I was there this morning and most of the shops were shut down and had signs on the doors aying the were protesting extortion by the ikeja city mall operators. I spoke with some shop owners who said that the new fees would affect thier business adversely and was not part of the agreement with the mall operators. This is contrary to the business model of a shopping mall which depends on free moving customers leasurely shopping for goods after wandering and windowshopping. The fees this morning was N200 an hour, which means you have to shop in a hurry and depart from the mall before you attarct additional fees. |

I was there yesterday to buy few things with my wife...we were very shocked to learn about parking fee in the mall...commencing today Monday 11th June 2012. She was very furious about the idea. I dont think I've ever seen such a thing before. We just love this extreme form of capitalism in Nigeria....more like cannibalistic capitalism. |

It will definitely affect sales in the shops there. Worse still, it appears like the shop owners were not aware before moving. If this is true, it is definitely unfair. |

Only in Nigeria will a shopping mall charge shoppers for parking fees. But I doubt if anything can be done about it. Mega Plaza started is several years ago. It is the same thing with Shoprite at surulere (with some flexibility though). If you check very well, you will find out that some high ranking government official is involved either as the direct beneficiary of the proceeds or as the one that promised them of government support to go ahead with the cruel plan. God dey. 1 Like |

Was at Surulere's "shopping centre" (doesn't qualify as a Mall) for the first time on saturday. Not only is the narrow street just awful to allow free vehicular movt, the stupid carpark charged me N100 I was totally caught unaware. Not to mention the fact that I scratched my car trying to manoeuvre out of the rubbish park! Proceeded to The Palms & adequate parking space + no charges just made me angrier and vow never to go back to Ogusanya. Today I unfortunately had to see someone at the same Surulere shopping complex & parked in eagles club carpark only to be be accosted with a N200 bill!  I no gree pay o! My firm is currently building malls in naija & I'd find it absurd if my boss talked about maximizing profit through the exploitation of car owners. I mean, that's enuf to kill ur Mall sef! Cos nobody wanno pay for parking. U shud even attract peepo any way u can cos u can't survive on only the tenancy of the anchor shops. (Shoprite, Game, Spar, etc)a |

This is outrageous. How does it work? For those of us that hang out at the Bheerhugz lounge at the mall (particularly in the evenings), does it mean we would also have to pay parking fees? I know I stay there for up to 3 - 4 hours sometimes. Surely this idea is idiotic. Next thing they'll start clamping cars that park outside the mall. |

I sympathise with the shop owners and shoppers especially if they are not inform or it is not part of the deal. However, looking at how central the mall is to the Ikeja/Alausa business units the State Government (or whoever is the owner of the mall  ) could still charge a token for parking with some flexibility .For example, 1st 1 hour could be free while additional hours could be from N50. This will be better than their current N200/hour. Surulere Parking lot for Shoprite it is N100 per hour. |

I think its normal to pay parking fees at malls. I have paid in South Africa and Brazil. And its per hour though automated most of the time. They might have noticed that people are abusing the parking space in Ikeja. In SA I've been to places where first 15minutes are free afterwards you pay. Thats for people that just came to pick up something in a rush. You pay to machine that accepts cash. Brazil you pay manual and go through with a barcoded card. |

That is why I only shop/watch movies at The Palms not even Silverbird. Pay for parking, nigga please. |
| Re: Occupy Ikeja City Mall- Shop Owners Shut Due To Parking Fees by Nobody: 5:05pm On Jun 11, 2012 |
Am sure this is mainly targeted at people that comes to both Alausa Secretariat and the adjoining axis to conduct business that finds the Mall car park as convenient free parking space (free from the marauding LASTMA boys)....however if at all that is the case..the fee should be restricted to week days only..leaving out weekend when its mostly shoppers that are likely to be parking there. 0-45 minutes at #0 ..45mins- 1Hr at #200 is prohibitive...while graduating on hourly basis Meanwhile the patrons of Beerhugz will mostly be affected with this graduating bands fee model. |
