I have said it long before, the President should stop his 7 point agenda and concentrate on ONE (1) point agenda ELECTRICITY and everything else will fall in place,
Nothing works in this country - NOTHING! Even to beat Tunisia on our own soil is not possible. Na wa for Naija o!

hmm, not sure what the impact is (btw I rarely drink soda these days), but if it opens the door for other soft drink manufacturers then we'll see what happens from there. How many employees did the factory have?  |

besides, the title is misleading.
Coca cola has been the only concentrate factory in Nigeria for quite sometime. Not the last, since there were no competitors.
That fact in itself is quite strange.
However, how is pepsi coping in Nigeria with no factory yet its still sold in most places.

Has multi national companies like coca cola been truly concerned about the welfare of Nigeria and its citizens?or have they been simply after what all businesses are set up for:PROFIT MAXIMIZATION?these are capitalist exploiters!how many companies,soft drink that is,have been swallowed up or sent out of business by coca cola?i know of two at least.Now they are not satisfied with the profit they are making.in as much as i wouldn't support our goverment nonchalance in virtually all areas of governance,i have two words for coca cola: PISS OFF!!

i don't think people care about multi-nationals that much. the problem here is that Nigeria is a tough place to sustain a business. If multi-nationals with their huge capital are pulling out then how do you expect small businesses to survive. non only does coca-cola lose, the nigerian companies that are contracted by coca-cola lose to |

I think all these things are related to the global economic meltdown. I'm not saying the Nigerian situation isnt contributing however. Coca cola also closed its Ethiopia plant earlier this year, with almost no warning to employees. They cited a foreign currency shortage, among other things. Coca Cola bottling plant in Ethiopia shuts down
ADDIS ABABA (Addis Fortune) – The newly operational production unit (left) with a capacity to fill 30,000 bottles per hour stays idle as East Africa’s door (above right) stays closed and trucks lined-up empty (below right)
For the first time in nearly half a century, bottlers of Coca-Cola and sister beverage brands closed their plant on Thursday, March 12, 2009, sending 1,000 workers on a forced annual leave, but with full pay.
The plant, located in Addis Abeba on Dejazmach Balcha Aba Nefso Street, and one of the two operated by East Africa Bottling Share Company (EABSC), was closed after instructions given last week to the Acting General Manager, Izan Bombom. The management told Fortune that the closure would be "temporary;" however, no one seems to know when production will resume.
The plant was quiet on Friday; machines were no longer running, and medium-sized distribution trucks, flourishing the company's logo, were parked idle inside the compound. The scene outside was more revealing. The line of heavy trucks and trailers, that had been waiting for their load for the past three weeks had not yet disappeared.
But there were no workers to load them. Only a very few management staff members were still in their offices, and security personnel were guarding the facility when Fortune visited the complex.
Employees hope that this is just a temporary drawback.
"I expect to get my job back very soon," an employee in the Supply Chain Department of the company, told Fortune. "In case this is not an alternative, I am hopeful that the company will do something for us."
The supreme body of the company, the Board of Directors, are scheduled to meet next Tuesday, March 17, to discuss the crises, in addition to the regular agenda of reviewing EAB's performance for 2008, sources disclosed.
The news of the closure of the plant was shocking to some of the shareholders. Dereje Yesuwork (Jambi) and Munir Duri, were two of the five shareholders informed about it by this newspaper when approached for comments.
"It can't be true," Dereje reacted on the night the plant was closed.
The company said it was forced to stop bottling beverage brands — Coca Cola, Fanta, Coca-Light, Sprite, Orange and Fanta Ananas (Pineapple) — and shutdown the plant because it is unable to import raw materials for production due to the shortage of foreign currency the country currently suffers from.http://www.ethiopianreview.com/content/8925 |

you really made me laugh.
You are laughing? believe it or not what that guy said will come to pass in Nigeria. It will come to a point when Nigeria populace cannot take it anymore and i'm afraid the time is coming very soon. Nigerians are still enduring now because other nations are still buying our oil and there is some money for people to spend eventhough the money is getting little by day, oil is less than N70 per barrel and by the time the other nations figure out a way to do away with our oil by using other means of energy like ethanol or alternative energy Nigeria will never be the same again. And that is when average Nigerians will take the laws into their own hands and go after those responsible for squnadering the wealth of the nation. |

I feel for Nigerians that in that country especially my few remaining families there. Anywaysha, I pray that God will touch the heart of the leaders to see that time is running out for Nigeria used to called the giant of Africa. The earlier they realize it the better. God bless. |
