This incident happened last year, but why are people crazy about Shoprite. Are Ilorin people telling us, there are no other places to have fun.

This is funny AF. ShopRite and a handful of other shopping malls are the only sight-seeing centres in many Nigerian states. No zoos, no parks, no fvcking beaches. Shopping malls are for shopping and actually buying stuff, not for celebrating Ramadan and Christmas.

I bet my Python 3.6 Compiler that 90% of these people have no cash to buy anything.

Now we know you're an amateur programmer. We wish you well.

When last did you hear of such from Lagos?

There are also so many tourists and relaxation centres Lagosians can go, unlike that city called Ilorin that is devoid of any reasonable place apart from Shoprite.

Meanwhile, I spent 6 years in that city while schooling, so I know what I'm saying

The issue is not restricted to Ilorin. Nigeria needs more leisure parks and recreation centres.

Na for Naija you'll see people going to a shopping mall dressed like they're going to collect 10 million grin grin
I wonder oo.. The last time I went to a shopping mall was last year, when I went to buy refrigerator. Most of the things they sell in shopping malls can be bought outside with the same price or less. I tire for some Nigerians sha.

Who does shopping on such a day. This is clearly tourism for them so Shoprite should get smart and build sites and experiences together with the shopping. Charge them a gate fee to finance it since it is a recurring theme around the holidays. Shutting doors to a crowd... who does that these days.

I AGREE WITH COMPUTERGEEK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED DIS TERRIBLE SITUATION LAST YEAR AT ILORIN. IF U C D QUEUE ON DAT DAY, IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. MOST OF THE COUNTERS WERE FILLED WITH ITEMS ABANDONED BY MANY PPLE. SOME PERISHABLE FOODS GOT SPOILED AT THE COUNTERS. I THINK IT WAS LAST YEAR EXPERIENCE DAT MADE SHOPRITE OFFICIALS TO TAKE DIS DECISION

ShopRite have learnt from their last mistake. They almost looted all ShopRite goods last sallah. Last sallah, some bought fast food. Ate it and drop d container. People almost finished their drinks inside the mall without paying.





This sounds hilarious.

That poster is actually right.
Have u been to a well functional park b4? The things u see lots of people buy in shop rite would have been bought in various parks thereby decongesting the malls. Supermarket's all over the world don't get flooded except on occasions like black friday.
How can I enter a supermarket to buy drinks that I can easily buy and enjoy with family and friends in a beach.

There is no recreational centers in nigeria. Only church. Mosque and places like shoprite for families.

It's that bad. Very bad

Because Lagos has several Shoprite malls in Lagos; and there are other big shops too, like Spar, Park and Shop, etc. You also have the movie theatres and the beaches, of course.
Outside Lagos, one Shoprite outlet is usually the only game in town. That is opportunity for investors right there.
