They should have at that time and still possiby now televised their claims with comparision between Aba shoes and China shoes. With good evidence the tide would have blown towards their side. I think it is time they all co-sponsor a Made-In-Aba tele program showcasing all and all.

Patronise locally made products for our economy to grow. Let Government create enabling ground. And ban all importation of leather products. My opinion. #i love the aba spirit. If u do too. Click one like

heading to aba soon to replenish my wardrobe a little. Aba is were i buy clothes, even bespoke ones and it would take me eternity to find another person wearing same thing. I get a lot of admirations for my attire. People wanna know were it was made and who made it. when i say my aba designer, u hear "come on, be serious naa". Me na aba brought up oo, so i know what that city has got.

One day my boss bought Pams for 14k at one boutique in ph, i told him this same pams would go for much less in a boutique i know in A-line and powerline. He rhapsodized how the footwear was italian made. I told him in no disrespectful way, sir this pams is made in bakassi, Aba. He said the quality was just way beyond what can be made in Nigeria. He never knew the ingenuity of those guys in aba...

I strolled into aba and searched for it in those boutiques i know well in my years in ariaria. I got fit for 3k. Took the receipt (something i never do).

Wore it on a friday to office, my boss wan faint. He knows too well that back then i cannot cough out 14k on pams (glorified slippers). He saw the receipt, to even butress my point, i told him you can even speak to the seller on phone since his contact was on the receipt. I think the aba craftmen should just stick to their name and fly it. They are as good as that...people who export their shoes to europe, i wonder why the complex.

My fellow Aba people, let's consider some points that will move our market:
1) Let's make peace with the Federal Govt, they hold the key to our success. If they Ban importation of shoes, we will sell faster and better.

2) Let's us be wary of Ben Bruce and Saraki, they are using us to score cheap political points because the Economy is Bad!

3) Let's advertise our products well and look for other means to sustain ourselves!

Because rich men does not patronize made in Aba, and poor men want to be like rich men
So just deceive the poor with made in Italy, all will be well.

Its inferiority complex or lack of zeal to standout!

Some Aba shoe products are as good as any other shoe around the world but it beats my imagination that they produce and place another label on it in order to sell it. So sad...i blame this on the populace orientation tho

10- 30 usd shoes plenty for UK store well well and before naira lost its value, it's was not up to 5k. Our travellers bring them down and sell for 7-10k claiming it's us and won't last 2wks if wore daily.

For those saying inferiority complex, the irony is that anytime you write in English you're literally also saying ''made in England'' in favour of our African languages.

I have a boss that is into Aba-made things and strangely, the quality of the products are of good grade. I don't know why how people will abandon good stuff because they want to belong to the group of people wearing foreign products. I don't care about the labels on most of the thing i wear inasmuch it fits.

I for one use made in naija shoes though it was made here in Lagos.

For the Aba shoe-makers and other Aba entrepreneurs: this is the time to bring your goods so that people that are not based in the East can see and be able to access the products.. i for example, will not have the time to go to Aba to look for wears or other quality products that are probably cheaper than the foreign counterparts because of my busy schedule(s).

Ariaria traders meant to confuse both rich and poor of Nigeria. Both groups can be easily confused.


The last presidential election shows that both the rich and poor of Nigeria can be easily deceived.

I'm talking real Italian leather not regular high streets shoes...the argument is not about quality, it's the name & catchet "ITALIAN" made.. dazall.

I dont know why people quote & comment without full understanding of the context!!

Nothing is wrong with 3k shoes, I buy knockabout slippers of 2k but do you really believe genuine Italian leather shoes could ever retail at even 10k?

It's like a lady paying 8k for a bag & believing it's real Michael Kors/Coach/Fendi/Marc Jacobs / Channel/ Gucci bag just cos the name is emblazoned on it....

Aba shoes quality is not the Topic, it's the branding...

That dude is a classic case of inferiority complex. He feels everything made in Italy is stupidity expensive. And that's the mentality the average Nigerian has.

point is, a shoe can actually come from Italy and still cost less down 5k. Not all shoes from Italy cost 1million.
