They won't o. U see that Indomie? It's become a neccesity.

It's a pity dangote want able to cash out frm it cos he noodles wasn't as good texture wise.
No competitors. And to make matters worse, Indomie has so many flavors and sizes and packages.

They don enslave naija gastrointestinal tract.

In fact I ni sure say people chop bread or rice reach Indomie for this country. Not even Coca-Cola, not even beer.

The only thing wey fit challenge Indomie in terms of sales I never see in this country.

The thing dey everywhere. They are making money, billions out of its sales.


So are they mad to be increasing the price every year?

There is no way indomie owners can make me believe they are not making profits despite the hike in prices of any variables because that indomie is so sold that I sometimes wonder how they keep up.... Frm students to adults to abokis to everyone. The thing is everywhere.


Coca-Cola and Indomie shud not increase prices if not for their greedy shareholders

Thankz so much.
U explained it so well. I understood every bit of it. Thanks for taking ur time.

I said dat was going to be my last question. But more questions keep coming. Thanks for giving me the go ahead to ask more. I believe dis one i want to ask, will be the last.

I want to know, between fish barbecue and chicken barbecue, which one is lucrative? Which is better?

U know why am asking all dis questions, I want to go into grilling/barbecue.
Ur wlcm.
I'd take chicken barbecue over fish.
Chicken is easier to prepare than fish over fired coal.

Fish is generally more expensive to sell( frm like 5,500 over here in abuja) . Then u need to add the side dishes like chips Nd coleslaw.

I notice people that sell the most fish barbecue have already made a name or brand for themselves over time so as usual, typically, nigerians will go to them.


But I tell u, if u hang 100 chickens in one go in a serene place with very tasty rub (the combination of spices) ; 2 things: the mere fact that it's plenty will draw crowd. Nigerians love where there is plenty of same items.

Then make every thing neat... Like wear nylon gloves to pick the meat or use thongs to hold them while cutting etc.


And ofcos, chicken will preserve better than fish if it remains.

But I tell u, if u open a good place with plenty stock of chicken, u will sell all in one day especially where people who have money live like in abuja.


Something I noticed too. By 10 pm at night, those very popular chicken spots with plenty chicken have finished selling their chicken.


But the fish sellers wud still be selling and most times they have to pack the remaining home( even when they have sold a substantial amount)

Again for fish u have to deal with catfish, croaker and tilapia the 3 common ones. So u may not know which will sell more at first. But chicken is chicken.

If I were to do anything fish related, it wud be to sell the fish raw, nothing else, like in the markets.


Maybe if I get to the chicken spot tomorrow I'd snap and show u how the hausa guys use a very small spot to sell hundreds of chickens.

The chickens are arranged in a circular fashion with the fire in the center... So at any given time u can have about 50 chickens...

Indomie has no moral and economic right to increase their prices in Nigeria.

That noodle is bought every minute in this country.

Economy of scale.

Am sure it's the greedy shareholders and managers.

The black man is never content with little profit.



Nigerians dont know their rights.

Everyone shud avoid buying it let's seeif the price won't come down.


Nonsense always has a welcome ring.


That's the most bought item in this country in the last 20 years.


Some dumb greedy goat will come and say every business has to make profit.

Okay.
So the kind of suya spot u are talking about, is when someone who is the owner, employ people to be roasting suya inside a building or a shop. Then the owner will just be coming to supervise?
Sorry for taking too much of ur time. I want to just get something right. This will be my last post.

I reside in warri.
I was trying to explain why many of the abokis u see look like that. The main owners are ofcos the ones profiting frm it. They only provide the funds to get the business moving.

So the suya spots I described that make plenty profits are actually not so big. But they have plenty staff, up to 10 sef. And they cater for a large number of people.
U see these places, by 9.30 pm all the meat is finished. The 3 places I know in my estate , they sell hundreds of sticks of beef suya and about 300 chicken suyas. And they are damn tasty.

Av personally bought 20 for my mum's birthday before to her office. Then it was 2,200 for a chicken suya (full). Now I think it's 2500. And I think why they have not increased their prices much is cos of the volume of customers they have. Their chickens are not so big but that's the cheapest one can get. Other places sell their chicken suya for 4500,or 5k , so they pull far less crowd and sell very small amount. (Their chicken in these places are very fat and scary tho)
Obviously nigerians will prefer the cheap ones.

So the factors are:

Location... Especially the state
Freshness
How tasty
Volume of food or meat


Believe u me there are restaurants in abuja that are very useless too. Abuja people will just carry millions and build any useless restaurant with very bad patronage. It's as if they don't care or they want to launder money. I mean like a place an owner will buy for like 50 million o!



U can ask more questions no problem

I dont reside in benin sha.

Okay. So suya business is lucrative like dis. So those aboki am seeing roasting and selling suya, they make good profit. But why are they appearing like they live from hand to mouth.
They are workers. The owners are millionaires.
Mind u am not talking about the typical suya spot o. This one u will see queue eh.
Don't forget that abokis will never show that they have money. Even the bureau de change people.... They look poor too but it's either cos of their lifestyle or cos they are not the owners of the business.


So where are u that u knew about sizzlers restaurant?


I think the thing is about the population that has high purchasing power in a place( high spending power)


Abuja people spend a lot on food.


Like I know a boli and beans joint where people make orders of 10k take aways( yes I heard me right, ur normal roast plantain with beans) . Fish there is 1,500 naira for a piece, ponmo is 300, al an average order of roast plantain or yam with beans and protein can enter 3,500. Multiple that by at least 100 people.

Drinks not included yet o! .

Ok.

I dont understand what u were trying to say in that abuja sizzlers stuff?
Concerning dat suya stuff? Do people use chicken to do suya? I thought it was cowmeat.
Was trying to describe a typical restaurant brand in abuja. Sizzlers is in Benin right?


There is chicken suya too na.

Like whole roasted chicken

Love800:
Are u refering to those big spacious restaurant like sizzlers or u refering to mamaput?
Both. I know mamaputs in abuja that make in excess of 500k.

Like in the roadside with over 15 staff in uniform sef.

The sizzler type of restaurant makes more than that daily obviously.

Sizzlers still dey benin?
And as per sizzlers, they were very good. But thru don't have the kind of crowd some restaurants in abuja have. Maybe cos of the way abuja people spend on eating.

Even some shawarma spots in abuja are like shrines. With an average of 150 customers a day.

And I know suya joints that sell more than 500 chicken suyas a day no cap. Like u will see these northerners ordering like 20 chickens at once.

My happiness is that due to rising costs of things, all those restaurants and pepper soup joints and mama put that used to load their foods with pepper as if the pepper na the main dish have stopped doing so. Pepper don cost and so don reduce inside food. Now I can enjoy my eat outs without tears and heat.

The players will never allow OSIMHEN outshine them again. Hence they won't play as a family this season.

U already heard how the players are not happy that OSIMHEN is being treated better than them.

Jealous ones still envy.
