Kizyte:
This is the best news I've read on Nairaland in six months!

It's better to patronize my own people than enrich foreigners whose people destroy the lives and properties of my brothers in their country

Shoprite will be back soon, and stronger, take it or leav it, shoprite took shopping experience to a whole new level, they believe so much in nigerian products, most of the fruits yu see in shoprite are locally sourced, shoprite even goes a long way to bring in seeds of crops that are not grown in nigeria and share to farmers for them to grow in nigeria,

Dave0116:
Great..... I wish this matter will be followed up and hammer all south African company with extremely high tariffs and exceptionally high vat, thereby making business extremely uncomfortable for them until nigerian investors will all pull of their companies and they'll finally have no other choice than leaving for Good.... We can do without them but they can't do without us.

Fed gov just have to comeup with an effective policy to protect small business owners before they packup due to low sales.

marylandcakes:
When it comes to business, the sooner you Nigerians start behaving like the Jews and Indians the better. They patronise themselves first before foreigners, that way they are growing their economy and bettering themselves. They believe if their brother or neighbour is doing fine, then the community is doing fine. They don’t go about displaying their Gucci or Versace as this is translated as stupidity.

BruncleZuma:


The tariffs, taxes etc. are borne by the customers.

nams77:

Spot on! But the average nigerian, wanting to show off his affluence and jet age status would rather shop in Shoprite, then patronize mama nkechi supermarket.
I am angry i am using a SA decoder. I still grieve today that the Nigerian owned cable network didnt come on stream. ( tstv)?

That’s why we should beware of large chains that run our local business people out of business. Let ShopRite be restricted to certain areas and not close to local markets or supermarkets.

All I see here is an ABIMBOLA" married to one CHUKWUDI''.. Simply put, in nairaland terminologia, " an afonja married to an ipob and cohabiting peacefully...

There is always and advantage and also disadvantage. Shoprite source product locally from our farmers too.

marylandcakes:


Yes they pay them peanuts for their products and charge exorbitant prices for them. They are rip-off merchants, no matter which way you look at it. The farmers don’t get a fair price for their products.

During my Under graduate days, I did some couple of research on stores and large chain firms.. We resorted that it's only okay for large stores like Shoprite and co. To maintain a specific location and not just open in every town and cities cuz they will eventually kill all those mini marts and convenient sales people like the abokis and our parents with petty shops.


This is actually good for the economy.. as it helps promote small scale stores who are middle class business people and the lower class which majority of us and our parents fall under

loswhite:
no fact to back that up tho. A capitalist system encourages that demand and mostly determine prices... So blame it on the system not the business
