Very funny to site Shoprite in Onitsha. It is a business town that offers everything fairly cheap. It is also not like Owerri or Enugu with many schools that has thousands of Ajebutter students. So who will buy at those outrageous prices? |

YonkijiSappo:You missed the enugu outlet, why is it thriving still? Or is enugu not an ibo state. The point is that onitsha has many markets (49 regular markets at last count), so any such enterprise like a mall, plaza, call it shoprite or walmart will have little or low patronage. That's onitsha for u. 6 Likes |

Montaque: We are saying the same thing in different ways. The Aba Mega Mall in Abia is also bound to fail. You know why? It is an attempt to formalize trade in Aba, and the average Ariaria trader will never leave street trading for some megamall somewhere in a corner. Same thing is at play here in Onitsha. Enugu and Owerri malls have more hope because they are not market cities. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Joe4lv:lolzzz Whoever that wrote this trash had not been to Onitsha shoprite before. If i had seen this bull.poo around 3pm. I would have taken pictures of people almost fighting cos of que just to buy bread. Onitsha shoprite shuts their doors and stop people from going in almost every sunday cos of over crowd. If this writer had said ONITSHA MALL idles away, i wouldhave said he is right. Cos right now, apart from few businesses like Kilimanjaro, Blueribbon, SLOT, Priceless etc. Most of the shops are yet to be taken. Bros, take a walk to shoprite anyday especially weekend, u will have a different mindset. This writeup is trashy bull.poo & filled with mis information. 16 Likes 1 Share |

tinsel:bug lie BRI. nigerians are that set of people that like to show off. if you sell a shoe worth 3000 at main market , if a customer sees that same shoe in a well tushed boutique packaged wellaz, he will buy the shoe for way higher price and brand your own as counterfeit. that's how Nigeria are irrespective of the tribe. and the typical igbo Boi or girl likes to show off. i am telling you the reason why that place may be empty now is because of the way economy is. people are getting poorer not that osha main market is stealing customers 2 Likes |

Hehehehehe! I'm not surprised! We are Anambrans. Things like Shoprite no dey freak us cos there are big supermarkets all over Onitsha alone where you get all you want. Whatever South Africa brings into Nigeria to Shoprite, an Anambra man has it already in his backyard. Unlike the zone of the popular e-warriors here on NL who are lazy and get over-excited over the mere sight of Sneakers Chocolate Bar. 3 Likes |

Re: Onitsha Shoprite Idles Away by Nobody: 9:19pm On Aug 18, 2016 |
Investigation has also shown that while the ones in Awka and Nnewi are at different stages of activities, that of Onitsha has remained deserted and a ghost of itself After reading this part, I knew that this write was trashy. You made no investigation. Because if you had made, you'd know that the Nnewi and Awka shopping malls are still under construction therefore they have no activities as you claimed. Also, you would have seen and noted that while the entire shopping mall may seem not to be doing so well, the ShopRite is currently enjoying ridiculously high patronage in Onitsha. You'd also know that part of the reason for the below par economic activity in the shopping mall is due to the abysmal state of Nigeria's economy. How many people can afford electronics and luxury goods these days? Can you afford them? Next time, research before you write. 2 Likes |

I am compelled to comment as most of the issues raised does not address the concerns raised by the Op: - economy is down at the moment - foreign exchange policy is affecting Shoprite now - restriction on certain import items is affecting Shoprite. - prices are competitive like most neighbour stalls/shops in Onitsha. - mall is badly located - Peter Obi acquired the land from State. Remember ABS land. He wanted to build 4 star hotel(now abandoned). Useless plan. - mall could not sell out its space/shops - food is expensive in the mall, no abacha and coconut. - poor feasibility studies by Shoprite - they were attracted because SABMiller has a success story and rent at the mall is cheap. - a typical Anambra girl is homely and not tripped like their Lagos counterpart over AC and carpark size. - Obi should bring his NEXT Intl into the mall. Useless decision and nonsense economy to drive the business. - checkout Umuahia mall and thank me later. 1 Like |

Building Shoprite in a place like Onitsha or Aba is just a waste. They believe there are cheaper markets in the city where goods can be purchased at a lower price. It's just like having a boutique in Aba when you have "Ahia Ohuru" that is " new market" and Ariaria where clothes are sold cheaper. |
