Runs kills P n G, I wish any of the top official can read this, u guys should be doing proper checking of all d loaded trucks for Ariel , pampers among other things. I know what am saying, no company can survive on runs by workers......

Lucid1:


Even bigger firms have shutdown due to bad business decisions. P&G isn't immune to this. It's a pity though

Organism000:
Cost of doing business in Nigeria is very high, the near absence of Electricity is yet another crisis. I am personally closing my plans for factories now and I have divested my interests to businesses that are less dependent on electricity and importation of concentrates.

The country has no hope for now.

izzou:


So a company as big as P&G, with over decades of experience doing business all over the world, and invested about $300 million building a plant, didn't do a NICE FEASIBILITY STUDY, according to you?

You are very funny, you know

franchasng:
My brother this not just peculiar to P&G alone, even my small startup has suffered great loss since 2016 unlike before.

Nigerians need to wake up from their slumber....stop voting dull people as leaders out of tribal and religious sentiments.

Buhari is not just dull, he is old and out of touch with modern economy and technology trends and people still think such a person is fit to lead over 170 million people to a great future

We need visionary leaders who are young, vibrant, successful in their chosen field, liberal in thinking, non-tribalistic and non-religious extremist who would think national economy development first before thinking about their tribe, religion and family.

We need a leader that is very much in touch with modern global economy activities and politics that comes with it.

And most importantly, it is time for Nigeria to embrace restructuring of Nigeria to form independent regions that will ginger and spring up healthy competitions among regions in coming up human and capital developmental projects that will prosper their regions and hence prosper Nigeria.

If we can't do all these, then the future of Nigeria is bleak

This is bad.....

The terrible condition of roads around Agbara and Lagos-Badagry expressway is enough reason for all the companies and people(local and expats) to shut down.

Yesterday, I made up my mind never to put my car on that road for whatever reason. From Alakija down to Seme is the worst stretch of road any human being, dead or alive, has ever seen.

tolexy007:



what about road network? if u see the road that leads to agbara from atan to lusada my bro u go fear, despite so many industries in that area. the road there is very terrible

Organism000:


You are absolutely spot on.

The only people who support Buhari, from my comprehensive surveys have been people who have never owned a business, never hired people, never invested and largely jobless, hence they have zero understanding of the economic implications of having a man who has zero knowledge of micro-macro economic indicators.

Nigerians who really support Buhari should begin to link their unemployment status to the politics at play, instead of always planning to run to foreign countries. Those countries work because the voters are educated on economic dynamics. God does not give food, religions do not give food, God does not give money, religions do not give money, they TAKE! Tribes do not give money, they take.

So every Nigerian that is tribal is usually poor people who are ill-informed, so they keep on voting in the same people who keep them ignorant.

The greatest trick of the Gods, whether humanoid or etheric is to keep humans in perpetual ignorance of their real powers, so they can continue to be manipulated.

I take this gospel of common-sense to the ground floor of the poorest Nigerians being nairaland, and I say clearly, look at your life, is it better ? Why do you think great countries usually have great leaders ?

It begins with having an Educated and Business Oriented Presidency, it is only Businesses and Working Economies that Guarantees Wealth for Citizens.

I must stop here dear friend. If you want to succeed, start a small business that does not rely on Electricity constantly, put solar panels on your roof and get yourself Reverse Osmosis plant for your drinking water. Stop depending on others, cos Nigeria is fuccked, I am not sorry to say.

doctokwus:
P&G is just being used by desperate politicians to demarket Buhari.
They deliberately shut their plant after being bribed with looted funds by the opposition.
More investors and heads of government are trooping to visit Nigeria daily,just yesterday the French president was here.
In the coming days and months,Amazon,Mercedez Benz,Russian oil giant,Gasprom would set up multi-million dollar factories here.The German Chancellor,UK PM and Russian president will also hold bilateral talks with the government.Even the North Korean leader,Kim Jim Hungry will make his first ever visit to a country outside Asia!
The government of Buhari is the best thing to happen to Nigeria since Coconut rice was discovered,so P&G should not allow itself to be used by corrupt politicians whose sources of ill-gotten wealth have been blocked by the No.1 anti corruption crusader in Africa.

peeps4u:
Lalasticlala, didn't Buhari recently say investors were falling over themselves to come to Nigeria?

But take note of this quoted from the report.

"About 272 manufacturing plants were shut down across the country in 2016,according to the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria."

oyegbe:
if they knew that getting up to even 50% of raw materials in Nigeria is difficult then they shouldn't have spent that money in setting up any factory in Nigeria. It's good to have a nice feasibility study before engaging in that type of business.

pocohantas:
Nigeria keeps seeking FDIs, whereas there are no policies and basic infrastructures/amenities in place. How do they want these businesses to thrive? Fix the gadamn country first.

Most business owners are not even asking for too much, they just want power and little security.

dumo1:

Try taking that money and blueprints to other African countries to invest. Nigeria is not worth it at all

cyrielo:

But then what is your point? They have clearly stated the reasons they are shutting down the plant, and that information could have been gotten from their feasibility study in my opinion. But still, I see where you're coming from given their reputation but their reason is baffling as it should have been identified earlier.

izzou:


I have no problem with anyone voting Buhari because of tribal or religious reasons

But voting Buhari because of his policies and because you think he's the best amongst others candidates shows that you are either still eating your mother's food, or you don't have any sense left in you.

P&G have been in business here for more than 2 decades, and a new plant commissioned in 2017 is being put up for sale in 2018? Na wa

franchasng:
How does this work Please explain more on the reverse osmosis.

I wrote a summarized article on how Nigeria can be savaged, which I posted on quora and it got international attention...I wished I could publish the article on any of our national dailies or even get it posted on a weekly interval here on nairaland front page if the moderators would reason with me...in the article, I examined a lot of solutions we need to savage Nigeria from total ruin.

cyrielo:
Nigeria is truly fuccked, I am not sorry to say either.

But I'm afraid this is going to go on for a couple more decades if not a century! A lot of Nigerians are very hateful and the Nigerians at the top (government) most of them are out for blood.

Anyone who tries to restructure this country for good would be putting his life on the line.

Organism000:


It is a simple technology, I firstly installed the domestic machine, a smaller version 3 yrs ago, for just drinking water alone in the kitchen (meaning I havent been buying drinking water for the last 3 yrs), then this year, I went crazy with the expense, I installed an entire factory of water production level OS at my backyard, converted one of my BQs to water production plant and every litre of water running in my home, from wash hand basin, to car wash to even flushing of toilets is sparkling drinking water, so you can drink water from the table directly. I have entire water testing kits and even Microscopes, I mean excellent infrastructure just to proof to Nature that I cant buy water, but all is for my use. No sales, but if I want to sell, I just need only a bottling plant, but not interested in that for now cos of electricity issues.

Putting up the treatment plant set me back between 5m to 7m, not less. Produces 2,000 litres per hour, just for my house-hold.
