Omooba77: Before the Nigerian economy began to take a consistent and dramatic tumble, shopping in superstores became a lifestyle Nigerians savoured lavishly.
Apart from goodies available for purchase, many look forward to taking photographs to either let friends know their activity for the day or just have fun.
The queues in these malls and stores would make your heart skip with the queue at the cash registers, making you wonder when it would get your turn.
But Economy&Lifestyle’s visit to some of the supermarkets and shopping malls showed that such an era, where customers troop into big shopping malls and supermarkets to get their basic needs, is no more.
Many now prefer to patronise local wholesale shops, where they can get such goods at cheaper prices and with fewer queues.
Mrs Akinade Temitope, a banker, said she buys her goods from local shops, noting that they are cheaper there.
“Everybody knows the prices of goods in the market are high.
“But when you go to some supermarkets, it is ridiculous.
“Up to the price of bread which is sold for N1,200.
“In bakeries outside supermarkets, the size of bread goes for N800.
“Who would know such and still decide to patronize the former?
“Ordinary Maggi small sachet is N380 in supermarkets and a roll of 10 is N3,800 when I can get such at N3,000.
“With the way businesses are crawling, salaries not increasing and expenses piling up every day one will need to change lifestyle.
“So I decided to stop visiting the shopping malls and instead get my groceries at cheap prices in wholesale stores.
“This simple change in lifestyle has helped me cut costs a lot.”
Mrs. Monica Adams, a teacher who usually shops every weekend for groceries said she now visits local stores to buy her groceries at a cheaper price and small quantity.
“Before, I shopped in malls and supermarkets. But now, I don’t because of the rise in prices I just decided to patronize local stores.
“I can’t even buy the large quantity of food items I usually buy in these malls anymore.
“Now I just patronize local stores to purchase what my money can afford.
“Those queues in the shopping malls and supermarkets especially on the weekends have reduced. “Try to visit one and you will see for yourself.”
However, a few people said they patronize shopping malls for things that are difficult to get in local stores such as ice cream and ice.
Mr. Victor Oshinaike said: “I only visit the supermarket whenever there is an item I can’t find in the local market.
“I am a top fan of supermarkets because I don’t like moving about the local markets to get different items.
“But I don’t mind moving now to cut costs.
“To make it fun and easy to bargain prices with sellers, I go with my younger sister.
“It is before people say men don’t price. Now men are very conscious of the prices of goods and also look for where to get these goods at a very cheap price.
“There is no rich man in Nigeria, the rich also cry.”
Miss. Kenny Boma, a pharmacist said: “My family and I have shopped for groceries every month in shopping malls for years now but for two months now, we have not been able to do so anymore.
“We now go to local markets to get things needed and manage.
“Apart from the cost, nobody has spare cash to do lots of shopping these days. Everyone is managing. They only go for basic things now.”
An insightful video and with four easily available ingredients to make simple-flavored ice creams. It's only left to have the different ice cream flavors chilled a bit to enjoy that signature creamy ice cream taste.
There are other unique methods of making ice creams and yogurts that I've tried in the past based off of what I gleaned from online videos.
*ATTENTION* Please lazy readers try and read to understand first before rushing to comment.
*In case you don't know the root cause of our problems today, please take time out and read below:*
*42 years ago, precisely on 25/07/1980 the exchange rate was:* *$1 = 0.80k*
*Are you surprised?*
*Well, we were far more productive in 1980 than we are today.*
*In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were as follows:*
*1. We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.*
*2. We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.*
*3. Leyland produced trucks/buses in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu also produced buses and trucks.*
*4. Steyr in Bauchi produced our Agricultural tractors. And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components:*
*5. Vono products in Lagos produced the vehicle seats.*
*6. Exide in Ibadan produced the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.*
*7. IsoGlass and TSG in Ibadan produced the windshields.*
*8. Ferrodo in Ibadan produced the brake pads and discs*
*9. Dunlop produced Tyres in Lagos and Michelin Tyres were produced in Port Harcourt. And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun, Bendel and Rivers State.*
*10. We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.*
*11. We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.*
*12. We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL Textile Mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos. They were Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.*
*13. Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .*
*14. Our toilets were fitted with WC produced in Kano and Abeokuta.*
*15 We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.*
*16. Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian Wire and Cable, Ibadan; NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Port Harcourt.*
*17. We had Bata and Lennards Stores producing the shoes we were putting on. The shoes were not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather in Kaduna*.
*18. We were mainly flying our Airways, (the Nigeria Airways), to most places in the world. The Nigeria Airways was about the biggest in Africa at the time*.
*19. Most of the foods we ate were grown or produced in Nigeria*.
*We were producing all of the above and many more in 1980*
*Today, we import almost everything. Isn't that alarming?*
*There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everyone reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.*
*We have been talking about these problems and more for ages.*
*It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do. The key questions are:*
*1. What are we producing now?*
*2. What role are our so-called Leaders/ Politicians of today playing?*
*We are forever shying away from responsibility whereas it is a stack reality and if we don't deal with it, it won't go away. In fact it will get worse*.
*To our dear Politicians, if you don't have the capacity to RESET Nigeria to what it was at least back in 1980 then please stay in your house and don't waste our time.*
*Let everyone of us go back to farm no matter how small*
*ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!*
Copied.
Your post indicates that it was "copied" from another source, but it is LARGELY true and the companies existed back in the 1970s right to the 1980s since I physically witnessed these events back in those decades.
Number *11* has Debo listed which is actually Adebowale Electronics based in Lagos that manufactured and sold refrigerators and other electronic gadgets right Nigeria.
But it MUST be fully emphasized here and now that it was the Military goverments that eventually ruined the Nigerian economic through massive corruption after the oil boom era of the 1970s to the early 1980s. There was also external shocks from the sharp increases in the interest rates by the United States to curb inflation in the United States in the early 1980s, but this led to the massive devaluation of the local currencies in many developing countries around the world which then led to hyperinflation and these developing countries ended up not being able to pay the increase in interest rates on borrowed money in USD got from the IMF.
Democracy is way BETTER for the economic transformation of any country unlike what an uninformed young poster wrote up there who is saying Military rule is better than democracy while codedly calling for a military rule. You CANNOT challenge the Military guys against corrupt practices without being framed up for plotting a coup against them. Worse case, they will eliminate you like they did in 1986 via the FIRST EVER parcel bomb assassination to the Edo-born Dele Giwa, who co-founded the iconic Newswatch Magazine.
Based on my observations, there are now far MORE Nigerian-owned companies and factories than in the 1980s spread all over Nigeria doing quite well based on global standards (such as the first maker of armored vehicles for civilians and armored personnel vehicles for the police, military and MRAPS in Nigeria since the 2000s), ProForce Defence Industries located in Ogun State which is owned by the brilliant U.S.-educated Engineer, Abayomi Ogundeyin.There is NORD Motors which is owned by a young man by the name of Ajayi who makes CNG vehicles, the biggest and one of the best electric cable makers in West Africa by the name Coleman Cables owned by George Onafowokan in Ogun State, and there is also Dangote Group to mention a few (with it's chain of companies with the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos being the game changer for the value addition and export of finished or refined products worth millions of USD in the crude oil industry. This would bring in the needed FX to strengthen the local Nigerian currency against the USD.
What has to be done with a sense of urgency by the politicians and tecnocrats in Nigeria is to ensure now that manufacturing industries and the tech industries get single-digit interest rates so as to be more globally competitive and reducing the cost of production through the use of alternative fuels such the cheaper CNG, and a mix of renewable energy or off-grid sources such as solar, wind, mini-hydro, etc, to generate electricity for sustainable development. Period.

That's an interesting insights. But to be honest, to get a really good imported car that is NOT accidented or was originally meant for the scrap market, you have to carry out a VIN check to know the vehicle's history.

You these wannabe bloggers and YouTubers have to STOP spreading unverified, FAKE news online. This thread comments went right up to 5 pages without anyone suspecting the fake story this OP posted.
The same Esther Nwachukwu actress girl who you claimed committed suicide in 2022 is the one who granted a video interview in 2024 stating that she has lost her body count after "knacking" over 3000 men in Nigeria and multiple countries right in the video and NL links BELOW my post. That's pure B.S. and lack of due diligence from this thread OP tbh.

Jayvarley: A good book by "The rise of African Slavery in the Americas" By Professor David Eltis actually provides records of the embarkation points and origins of slaves Across Africa. South Africa was also affected by the slave trade however South Africa provided very low numbers of slaves. Which is probably why their cultural influence is not seen in the Americas. There are even records of slaves being taken from Madagascar to Barbados. It is my belief that slavery Affected the whole of Africa, nevertheless the West African coast was most obviously affected because of its closer proximity to the new world. Slavery was first propagated by the Arabs who took slaves from East Africa to the Arab world and India.
The transatlantic slave trade exhausted West Africa's population so the slavers simply went further inland and marched captured Africans across the continent. Sadly Slavery was a big business not limited to West Africa.
Bump.
With regards to the first question of the OP, you CANNOT tell the ethnic origins of Diasporan folks in the Western continent who originate from various African descents via the infamous slave trade based off of their looks.
Even right on the African continent, a lot of continental "Brown" African folks in countries South of the Sahara look alike. I've traveled internationally on and off the African continent and have seen a vast array of cultures in West Africa, to Central Africa, East Africa and South Africa, and many folks largely look alike (until they open their mouths to speak, then you will know the differences in ethnic origins based on their accents).
Second, indeed, in addition to Barbados, I found out several years back that the United States also had a significant number of enslaved Africans (about 2 percent) from the Madagascar area. With modern ancestral DNA testings, there's a genetic marker that is used to detect Madagascan [Malagasy] ancestral descent.
adamusuleiman3: It is pathetic that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour criticised the ₦85,000 minimum wage paid by the Lagos State Government under the excellent leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. One would have thought that if GRV had any criticism, it would have been for his own fellow Labour Party member, Governor Alex Otti of Abia, who is even struggling to pay the old minimum wage of ₦30,000, talk more of the new minimum wage of at least ₦70,000.
If Mr. Rhodes-Vivour really loves Nigerians, he and Peter Obi should ask Alex Otti to stop commissioning bus stops as his signature project in 2024, and instead of buying exotic luxurious cars for himself and his aides and cronies, to clear the backlog of salaries of the long-suffering workers of Abia State.
That is what GRV ought to be doing rather than criticising the performing Governor of Lagos, who does not owe salaries and has commissioned world-class infrastructure, such as the Red Line metro, housing estates, bridges, flyovers, and heavy industries in 2024. Source: Reno Omokri on X

LMAO...
That female YouTuber speaking in the middle of the video above has got massive loads of "stinging sarcasm" in her. The way she described and deconstructed the young man called VDM with reference to all the defamatory videos he was told to pull down and the alleged N500 million he is to pay for defaming the Falanas and for his unguarded verbal video attack on Falana's lawyer daughter cracked me up. There's absolutely nothing wrong though with exposing corruption in any society but it must be done with iron-clad evidence without engaging in verbal assaults that can get you charged to court for any criminal defamation of character like some of these characters are doing. Ignorance of the law is NOT an excuse. Period.
The other boy called "kokolee" or whatever in the video (who is said to be a friend to VDM) is spewing loads of B.S. while simply trying to ride on the attention of his friend to trend online. Some of these youngsters like to ramble on and don't seem to realize yet that online and offline defamation of character is a serious punishable offence under the laws of any country. The guy called VDM too eventually had to apologize to Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, for spreading misleading information online about Falana so what is that boy in the video trying to rationalize here?
OMG! Ogbeni just shut the f*ck up and stay below the radar. What are these animated behaviors and watery verbal theatrics from this "effeminate dude" all about?
Morbeta11: "Why I chose to stay unmarried" – Bimbo Akintola opens up
Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has shed light on her decision to remain unmarried, even as societal expectations weigh heavily on her.
In a conversation with colleague Emmanuel Ehumadu, popularly known as Labista, the actress shared her views on love, relationships, and marriage.
Akintola, who is known for her versatile on-screen performance, revealed that the love of her life had died, and she has yet to find a replacement for him.
When asked about the possibility of marriage, Akintola reflected on her past heartbreaks, explaining how they have shaped her understanding of commitment.
She made it clear that she is not in a rush to walk down the aisle, especially with someone who may not be fully invested in the lifelong vows that marriage entails.
Interesting... The highly eloquent 'Bimbo (Abimbola) is still looking delectable in her 50s though.
She was in a long-term relationship with someone back in the day but they didn't walk down the aisle. That's where I think a LOT of time got wasted. A maximum time frame of 1 year is enough time for dating and then getting to know one another based off of your strengths and weaknesses before getting married.
Anything longer than that would lead to a woman being ditched due to over-familiarity or being led-on by a man to no where after multiple "nacks."
She can still gain more fulfilment as a brilliant single woman that she embodies from the Generation X era by exploring all her potentials and passions through documented travels worldwide while experiencing an eclectic mix of cultures and foods, engaging with her biological siblings' children and other kids, giving speeches and sharing her acting experiences as a veteran from back in the 1990s till now and much more.
On the other hand, if she finds herself in the right social circles, there are sapiosexual men who are probably single fathers (but separated without a desire for more kids) in their 50s and 60s who wouldn't mind having 'Bimbo as their significant other or spouse. Most older men in their 50s and 60s who still want biological kids are CLEARLY intentional about wanting to have them with younger women in the late 20s right up to 35 max due to fertility issues although some women fortunately still have babies right into the early 40s without any fertility treatments.
From viewing a couple of this boy's videos it's clear that indeed, he is suffering from some kind of multiple personality disorder.
This boy's biological mother went on her knees to beg Burna Boy and that is what Burna Boy said softened his heart, and that enabled the bail to be perfected with the help of the lawyer, Dayo Adeyanju. He'll get himself into another round of criminal defamation then his biological mother's pleadings will NOT be able to save him.
Don Jazzy was the one who send me N100M to my NGO, I am still in shock – VeryDarkMan finally confirms (Video)
Popular Nigerian activist VeryDarkMan professionally known as VDM has confirmed that Don Jazzy was the one who sent N100M to his NGO account.
VeryDarkMan made this known to all and sundry today, October 17th 2024 via his verified page on the photo and video sharing platform Instagram.
Recall that in a previous post published by Intel Region, VeryDarkMan cries out as he disclosed that an unknown man donates N100M to his NGO account which resulted in his NGO account to yield N170M.
VeryDarkMan urges Nigerians and Zenith Bank to come to his aid as he stressed that he does not know the person while clearing it all that he is not into fraud.
Following the development, VeryDarkMam said that he has been calling people who might have sent such huge amount of money but all his effort were futile as they keep saying that they are not the one.
However, he later received a message that says; “Morning bro. Just saw your post. Na me send 100m to support. I believe in what you are doing and trust you to be as transparent as you have always been. We really need that in our country. I wish you all the best with the project and more blessings to you. E no easy.”
VeryDarkMan said that that message was sent to him by Don Jazzy whose full name is Michael Collins Ajereh. He went on to share the text message and the receipt in the video.
VeryDarkMan further disclosed that he is still in shock as he does not believe that Don Jazzy could sent such an huge amount of money to him.
VDM established the NGO account primarily to support children in public primary schools who lack access to quality teachers, emphasizing that a strong educational foundation is key to their future. He also highlighted that this initiative would create jobs for graduates, who would serve as teachers for these children, helping reduce the growing number of graduates resorting to POS jobs and selling bedsheets.
He launched the NGO on Saturday, July 12th 2024 and as at July 13th 2024 he had already made N21M. In total in less than one week he has made the sum of N170M.
He concluded the video by getting emotional and further thanks music mogul Don Jazzy and also prayed for him.
VeryDarkMan accompanied the video with the caption; This is the person that sent my NGO the 100 million naira:
T”ILL NOW I CANT BELIEVE IT…..ONE HUNDRED MILLION NAIRA left an account just like that,as you have supported this cause to bring better basic education for our public schools children may God bring long life and Good health to you and your household,i sincerely have a lot to say to you sadly I can’t even express the joy I feel inside,GOD BLESS YOU BROS,please join me to say a prayer for him❤️ #RATELMOVEMENT.”
naptu2: Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority LAMATA @Lamataonline Green Line on Track
Following the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in China for the construction of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Green Line, the Lagos State Government made a significant move today for the commencement of its development.
The government conducted a site visit to advance the realization of the Green Line rail project.
A delegation comprising representatives from the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Federal Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI), China Harbour Point, Nexant Consulting, and Advanced Engineering Consultants (AEC) participated in the inspection.
The primary objective of the site visit was to familiarize the construction company with the project's right of way.
This information will be crucial for completing their comprehensive feasibility study and subsequently determining the most optimal approach for constructing the Green Line.
The Green Line rail project, spanning a total of 67 kilometers, is envisioned in two phases.
The initial phase will cover 33 kilometers, terminating at Omu Creek in Sangotedo.
The site visit was hosted by LAMATA and included key personnel such as Engr. Olasukanmi Okusaga, Director of Rail Transport at LAMATA, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works & Infrastructure, Engr. Lateef Somide, CEO of AEC, a consulting firm, Dr. Abiola Agunbiade, and Paula Faniran, Head of Strategic Projects at MOFI.
This significant step marks a crucial milestone in the realization of the Green Line rail project, which promises to transform Lagos' transportation landscape and provide a more efficient and sustainable commuting option for its residents.
#LAMATA #Keepinglagosmoving #lasg
That's Impressive of the Lagos State Government.
Now, some buildings along the "right of way" of the Green Line rail project of 67 kilometers will have to go down.
This project would probably be rounded off in 3 years since it took a record 2 years for Lagos State to complete the much shorter, recently commissioned Red Line rail project. Some of the positives in terms of infrastructure and more coming out of Lagos State gives us (Diasporan Nigerians and Nigerians on the continent) the hope that democracy is the best for sustainable development in any developing country in the light of the growing anti-immigration in many countries. The folks just have to be CLEARLY intentional about removing all the inefficiencies in the system that can impede democracy to unleash their full potentials.
Ipinle Eko (Lagos State) is moving full steam ahead!
