the news isn't fake. Nigerians are their biggest "spenders". its clearly stated that others buy too.
Pidggin:
So only Nigerians buy from them or what? This news is fake.

You seems not to read through lines.
We are wasting our resources improving other nations economy of which ours is rotten. Then you are here blaming who wants best for our country. Is it a taboo for Americans or Englanders to come to Alaba or Onitsha to buy our products? Must we buy theirs?
Even if you are a biafran as you claim. Is this how you will want your country to be govern? Think guy.
Guy drink water and read again, the Market is in E london,its a cheap street market where its original aim was for people to bring goods they no longer need and sell them at cheap rate, it was meant to be just a laugh.Example of such is the Oshodi market.People who go to that market are People who live and work In that part of London only, its not an export market, there are no whole sale there,its full of cheap stuff fit for broke people.

Are we saying a whole market in UK cannot survive just because Nigerians don't have money to patronize the market?

you're just not liberal. statistics from the UK govt says that Nigerians are the 2nd highest spenders in the UK. go do your research. do you know how many Nigerians live in the UK? what about the ones that only go for shopping purposes.

Nigerian community in the UK is nothing to write home about.It is everyone for himself no networking,yet every year student arrive in their drones to study.This is one of the reasons Nigerian business donot grow.People never want to associate with anyone unless they are from the same family.This why we loose oppurtunity for network and marketing.
In Leeds,for instance which is the UK 3rd largest and one of its fastest growing cities there is no single Nigerian resturant or retail shop for Nigerian goods.

My opinion is for the Nigerian community/businesses to attend/sponsor fairs/events at UK universities so as to network with the student community in those schools,this will help greatly.

Am not into beer parlour arguments.

Here is a link. Satisfy yourself
https://www.nairaland.com/post/39713170

International daily limit on cards : $1000.

Type epistles of super stories and foolish analogies, I don't care

So a story told by someone on Nairalalnd is the best "authority" you can use to assert your claim?
You are foolish beyond redemption! grin grin
How are you sef?
Illiterate Gala seller, how would you know the difference?
Beer parlour indeed.


Okay, let us even assume, for discussion purposes, that the story is absolutely true.
Did you not notice that that limit applies to CARD TRANSACTION?

That is why l said "shopping money / BTA" in my earlier post.
Go back and confirm that line in the post.

Truly, ignorance is an illusion of Knowledge, or people like you!

If the person in that story wanted to pay for goods worth One Million Doll[b]ars, he does not need to use his Credit Card.[/b]
WHY? The charges are exorbitant.

A cheaper and the recommended alternative is to use a bank transfer!

I am convinced you have comprehension problems otherwise you would have seen the same thing in my post where l said all you need to do (and l have done this a number of times this year) a Bank transfer.
Get the sellers IBAN and BIC (International bank transfer codes) and instruct your bank to wire the money to them. SIMPLE.

Credit /Debit Card are meant for Shopping and over the Counter purchases but foolish people like you want to use it to by a tractor!
grin grin

Anyway, you guys can continue to wallow in ignorance and #Wail all day long, e nor concern people like me! grin grin undecided undecided

The policy will stay for as long as needed. Anyoen not happy with it and who does not want to use their Bank for payments, can go hang on a Mango tree.
PMB nor send una.

Re: London Market Closing Due To ‘low Patronage’ From Nigerians by trapQ: 4:43pm On Nov 15, 2015
you're the one that is wrong. I've lived outside this country and I also know the system. The system of govt Buhari is adopting is called "trade protectionism". Now the daily limit maybe 1000usd, but you can spend "any" amount you like by bank transfers. That way the money can be traceable. This is the truth. Be enlightened.

Not the biggest of issues.
Look for a UK based Nigerian bureau agent and get the money swapped for you.

It's difficult with exchange restrictions but hardly a big part of why a market should be shut down.

Re: London Market Closing Due To ‘low Patronage’ From Nigerians by trapQ: 5:04pm On Nov 15, 2015
Be enlightened. This system of economics is called "trade protectionism". Every country that is a world power today adopted this policy at some point.
Okbaba:


It surprises me when Nigerians talk like this. We are in a global community where intertrades take place. It is not about killing one economy to build another. In as much as I encourage consumption of local product, it is not a crime to buy a product that meet your taste be it local or foreign. It should rather be a challenge to Nigerian producers to meet up with consumers taste at home and abroad. Afterall, no economy is self sufficience. We should not also forget that that Nigerians are also exporting to other countries and we expect them to petronize those goods and services. What you sow is what you will reap.

I do not know if we have ever imagine what will happen to our economy if the western world stop importing our petroleum products which constitute over 70% of our GDP.

I am of the opinion that the Nigerian government should concentrate efforts in ensuring that Nigerian made good are produced to global standard and are tailored to consumers taste. The consumers should be left to make their choice ( after all they are still patronizing medical services abroad and no one has stopped them). We should strife to achieve positive trade balance in a decent and fair manner through well planned economic structures.

We should avoid all form of modern slavery.

I'm beginning to see how important Nigeria is to the world especially when it comes to their patronages. How I wish this will continue this way. Whoever say Buhari isn't working is a bloody lair.

I'll be very glad if things like this will happen Germany then the whole world 'll start seeing the importance of Nigeria to their economy.

Na only Nigerians dey there

I know d market. Its in Liverpool street and large. Takes about 10/11 streets. Its like a mini balogun market. Yoruba women everywhere. Even d Arabs and polish pple selling shoes there will speak Yoruba to u. True story. You find all sorts of swiss lace and Italian shoes & bag set there. On a normal day its ALWAYS teeming wt crowd and in d summer shoppers come wt their boxes to buy swiss lace & shoe sets in bulk to take to Nigeria. Its sooooo cheap. I went there when I had a Naija wedding to attend in London. Lace DT goes for like 100,000 for 5 yards in Lagos, I bought for 50pounds. Calculate DT crazy profit! U will even find Mr Ade tailoring services in d market sef. Lmao! If u want to sew native in london u go to liverpool street. DT market has existed for decades. Shame its shutting down.

You nor bow. If I didn't know about the market, I would believe this funny story.
How many people are employed by that street market?

It is Nigeria shop owners and some other foreigners that will have less money.

That could mean a slight reduction in the $12 billion dollars Nigerians abroad remit to Nigeria yearly.

As for UK's $2.945 trillion economy, no dent at all.

We should focus creating jobs and increasing our GDP per capital to increase disposable income and reduce poverty.

Instead of putting sophisticated measures in place to fish out corrupt money, we also chose the lazy and poverty-creating blanket ban.

State governments too lazy to introduce safety measures for commercial motorcyclists just did blanket ban.

No consideration for ordinary citizens.
