Which companies are "making it big with Nigeria market"?

MTN, for starters....
Nigeria is its biggest and most profitable market.

Racoon:
Though Shoprite-the SA company have been ripping us here while its citizens are committing xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in its home country while the relevant government agencies did practically nothing to succour us, the departure of Shoprite is a sign that the company have seen something coming.

What does Shoprite have to do with xenophobic attacks in South Africa?
Your mentality would be like blaming Nigerians abroad whenever a foreigner is kidnapped or robbed in Nigeria. SMH

Edusouls:
Once it’s acquired by Nigerian company, u go see shoprite stores transform from its modern looks into the looks of how Nigerian managed stores are, see the likes of oshodi market, Alaba international, idumota, ariaria market, naija dey sweet die..

You mean like Ebeano and others?

emonis88:

gbami:
Nigerian organization will run it down.
Example. Can you compare Etisalat of before to Etisalat ( now 9moblie) of today?
Anything Nigerians touch with their corrupt hands get shattered.

Etisalat of before left billions of Naira in debt for 9mobile of today...

very good....away with them....

we no want them in nigeria....

You sound like a CRUDE XENOPHOBE...
Yet, you will go stand in the sun outside an embassy begging for a visa to go live in someone else’s country.

We should stop wasting money on our so-called “LGAs” and instead adopt the Lagos LCDA model...

Almost every local government “election” in Nigeria results in the ruling party winning all seats...
Which means effectively wasting scarce funds on state election commissions and these dodgy “elections”.

Let’s simply have state-created LCDAs (and each state can have as many as it can sustain)...
Funded by the state governments (using the funds presently wasted on LG “elections” among others).

HigherEd:
1) Nigeria's Birth Rate Is Too High:

Every year, Nigeria adds about 200,000 more candidates to UTME. The UTME candidacy of 2021 is largely predicated on the birth rate of 1998 - 2004 which hovered around 6.16 births per woman.
In 2021, Nigeria still has one of the largest birth rate in the world with 5.4 children per woman. However, unlike 1998 - 2004 there's even far greater appetite for education and a dwindle in child mortality. What this means is Nigeria is set for serious admission crisis in the near future.

Any nation which wants a purely public funded education must keep her annual birth growth to less than 3.0 per woman. E.g Finland has 1.3 birth per woman, Sweden has 1.6 birth per woman, China has 1.7 birth per woman.

Cut down on the effing birth rate...
Most of Nigeria’s problem today stems from a runaway population.

And unfortunately it’s generally those who can least afford it who have the most kids...
At IDP camps, they are busy breeding like rabbits when some already have more than double-digit kids.

Unfortunately, there’s no consequence for having kids you cannot support...
Sadly these kids are consigned to begging, Almajiri or simply abandoned to their own devices.

Personally, I do NOT care much for these so-called influencers (and the whole celebrity thingy)...
But please let’s not treat nor elevate the seemingly inherent anti-influencer bias to the level of CRIMINALITY.

I have never heard of this Alex Saab dude until the last few days on Nairaland...
But I know that one is not automatically a criminal for pissing off the US govt by supporting the Venezuelan govt.

What’s happened here is substantively no different from supporting Alexei Navalny who is a “criminal” to the Russian govt...
Nor supporting those in Hong Kong or the minority Uighurs, whom are “criminals” and “terrorists” to the Chinese government.

Nigerians do NOT have a dog in this essentially PROPAGANDA dog-fight...
Hopefully, these influencers should ask questions (or be more circumspect), but there’s NO CRIMINALITY here!
>

Alejoas:
They were openly supporting something they knew little or nothing about because they were recruited or induced. That is wrong in my opinion

Presuming that they know little about the mater (and none of us know that for certain)...

That may be “wrong” (perhaps unethical) but NEVER a crime, and should NEVER be made to look like it is.
Many people who campaign (eg) for the Uighurs in China know very little about the facts (and frankly I don’t either).

King44:
A crime is a crime.... Whether I was aware or I wanted to be aware but I forget ni.

You were paid paid in support of a crime that has made you a criminal weda you were aware or not.

They should be blocked from twitter permanently before they contaminate others who are genuine with huge followers with their leprosy.

2023 election is here I don't want to start seeing stuffs like vote Tinubu the Messiah or vote Atiku the next big thing after Jesus Christ.

HUH?! Yet again, exactly how is it crime?
If someone supports Derek Chauvin (or even OJ Simpson), did they commit a crime?

Meanwhile, there’s something called the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE...
So not sure how you can leap to the conclusion of crime without a trial and conviction.

Do you think lawyers commit crimes by taking money to defend criminals?
Do you think that PR firms, lobbyists, publicists, etc., commit crimes when employed by accused people?

Do you think that those campaigning in favor of Chinese Uighurs are committing crimes?
Because the Chinese government has accused and labeled such Uighurs as criminals and terrorists.

Abegi, I know “repeat-after-me” (cram-and-regurgitate) is a staple of Nigerian education...
But we should be able to discern obvious HYPOCRISY based on nothing more the biased interests.
>

Alejoas:
They were paid to add some pressure to the course of justice

They were paid to influence public opinion...
The “court” of public opinion is different from the court of justice.

Eg, social media influencers are carrying on about events in Hong Kong...
Do you think it a crime to “pressure the course of [Chinese] justice” in Hong Kong?

The ONLY reason this is made to sound bad is because it’s anti-US interest...
If this was (eg) anti-China or anti-Russia or anti-Iran interests, there would be NO stir.

That’s partisan HYPOCRISY...
It has NOTHING to do with justice (or its purported subversion).

King44:
Thank God their yansh is getting open in public..... That was the same thing they did during and after endsars campaign in support of the gvt.... Just dangle a carrot see as the so called leaders of tomorrow betray their dignity... Twitter should deal with them the same way Tunde ednut was death with.... Awon oniranu influencers feeling important azz holes

FBIBOT:
Werey Tonto dey claim acct got hacked abi she loaned it for a day? criminals

Alejoas:
What a shame! They should be made to lose their voices and sentenced accordingly. They have brought shame to the country just like an average Yahoo boy

Sentenced for what exactly? Did they commit any crime?!
This is standard fare on social media, the only difference being the US govt is against this dude.

Nigerians really don’t have a dog in this fight...
But it is HYPOCRISY to make it look like they’ve committed a crime because the US wants this dude.

bobowaja:
Sabotaging ones country cos of meagre pay. Some Nigerians are worst than our leaders.

Exactly how are they “sabotaging” Nigeria? Because the US wants to arrest a Colombian who supports the Venezuelan govt?

Nothing surprises me...
Brown envelope ‘journalism’ has always been rife in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, this campaign does NOT bother me as much...
The US (and Twitter) wouldn’t bother if this was a campaign they want.

That HYPOCRISY is glaring, because this is NOT about ethics...
If it’s (for example) an Anti-Chinese govt campaign, it would’ve been ok with the US (and Twitter).

Just like that, and we could’ve been spared the spectacle of Babanriga Banking...

Meanwhile, when you read stuff like this you realize why Nigeria is so badly governed...
No institutionalized (or transparent or accountable) processes, just as man-know-man, making it up on the fly. SMH

They went for the vegetable truck design...

AmazingELixir:
Innosen should start producing armoured Humvees these glorified pickup trucks does not give protection to the security personnel during crossfire.....each time i see the Nigerian army on those trucks like sitting ducks waiting to be taken out by BH boys..I can't help but feel sorry for them.

Proforce produces locally-made armored trucks (see below)...
The problem with the Nigerian Army is CORRUPTION in procurement.

Dangote again? He should go and cover his bare ass all over the internet first.

Just like What they did to Ibeto.

I'm sure if Nigeria was not for the North, Dangote wouldn't have been the Richest Man in Nigeria, not to talk of Africa.

Dangote wants to monopolize every industry he can be able to with the help of Northern Supremacy in Nigeria.

Infact no need, Biafra we move!

The REAL reasons for the viral Anti-Dangote diatribe is trickling out...

THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF NAIRALAND’S NOW WEEKLY ANTI-DANGOTE “NEWS” STORY....LMAO!

Originalsly:
Hmmm..... I can't see why they've concluded no third party involvement. I think there is..... he is not from that neighbourhood.... most likely marched to the lake and forced to jump in. Waters are too cold at this time of year to be swimming. If suicide.... by drowning... he is likely to jump off a bridge. Foul play should be suspected... not ruled out. May the truth come out so his parents and family can have closure.

Perhaps there’s CCTV of him alone in the vicinity or perhaps there were only one set of footprints...
Who knows? But, as the statement said, the Met police is continuing with its investigations of the matter.

RIP lad!

ganduje, am your fan but please don't say that nonsense again. we should start doing things base on merit not pupolation. this pupolation noncense is what brought us to this mess we are witnessing.

while they go online shouting the future is female, we are giving them distance in the affairs of life,

Abegi, who’s “we”?
Dude, yer broke ass is here on Nairaland making juvenile misogynistic posts.

Aconomist:
1. All cement companies around the world operate their own powerplants because its cheaper. This is not a disadvantage, it saves them money because they get electricity at or below cost. Regardless, all of that is included is his cost of production -- which is what we substract from revenue to get his profit (60% of revenue in Nigeria).

2. There is no such thing as a profit margin above 100% in business reporting. Profit is calculated as a percentage of selling price (revenue). You are thinking like a petty trader who doesn't understand accounting. And even in that sense, Dangote's profit margin would be above 100% because he is selling at more than double his cost of production.

3. Few, if any, manufacturing businesses in the west that earn profit margins like that. Not even pharmaceutical companies after factoring research expense, salaries and regulations. You Nigerians are really just poorly educated monkeys. I don't know what they teach you in school.

This “monkey” can recall the cancer drug Lomustine priced at over 1000% its cost of production....

Meanwhile your uncouth juvenile insults merely betray your lack of a substantive argument and a crude personal upbringing. SMH

Now I know you're just deluded or just pulling your "facts" from your arse , Golden Penny was not given their license to produce or sell before 2013 and didn't sell a single bag of sugar before 2013 , I should know because I'm a dealer in their products , and please show us a proof of your "facts" and also where my statement is wrong. I am still waiting

Golden Penny and GOLDEN SUGAR are two DIFFERENT AND DISPARATE FMN subsidiaries...
That you do not know that ELEMENTARY fact epitomizes your lack of knowledge on the subject matter.

FACTS! Not feelings!!
