TjoBATHONG:
so u flood our Shoprite once every week on a Sunday to buy low value goods only No wonder we packed up and left.

Your responses are nonsensical

I make the point that your retail sector pulled out because of competition.

I then state that even after their pull out there are still floods of people patronizing all the locally produced products to counter your "made for upper class" people BBC report

and you come back with this response.

Slow your brain down a little and think before you type neh!

TjoBATHONG:
Yeah, coz they're there to take selfies and use the escalators as joyrides as the BBC clearly states below Dude I can't believe the so-called giant of Africa is still celebrating escalators in the 21st century - something SA got back in the 1950s

Leventis stores which shop rite acquired had escalators in the early 80's so i don't know what you are on about.

You need to cross the Limpopo once in a while my friend because You are conflating shopping at the Mall in general which has several stores within it and shopping inside Shoprite itself which is grocery/retail store.

If you see line at the "jollof rice" and Agege bread section inside Shoprite on weekends you will keep quiet.

TjoBATHONG:
Bathong Jace - which South African looks for job opportunities in Nigeria of all places? Morpheus24 you've finally lost it - even Jollof-gerian madmen will tell u so.

Are you talking to me or somebody else cause I am not sure why my name and South African job opportunities are in the same sentence here.

TjoBATHONG:
That time Shoprite has over 200 stores in SA and expanding with 20 million customers (a third of SA population size) - and you're telling me about one sorry-S store that's packed on just a single day. The rest of the week y'all just bargaining for the cheapest price possible at open air markets That time Shoprite is our open air market in SA with fixed prices and we think they're the cheapest of all the supermarkets. U see levels .

Are we still talking about why shoprite pulled its retail side of the business out of Nigeria or are you talking about something else.

The point of mentioning the crowd of people on any given Sunday is to rebut the nonsense you posted about The store being only affordable the upper class.

TjoBATHONG:
Okay

My brother, you have not seen Shoprite Festac on a Sunday afternoon that is why you listen to sill news articles like that.

IronGalaxy:
ha ha ha. Typical

Yes, but avoiding a response to the question doesn't mean you have won.

IronGalaxy:
You are a hypocrite

The evidence you have presented cannot stand.

I am a hypocrite because people in my country are tribalistic and therefore I cannot talk about Xenophobia but IronGalaxy is not a hypocrite and can comment on Nigerian criminals because he is not xenophobic and only "defending" his people by pointing out the hypocrisy of the Nigerian

***Scratching my head****

IronGalaxy:
The question was why would our country need defending in the first place?

I would not be able to answer that question definitively, I would however offer the evidence of the presence of several of your folk on this forum lurking around South African based threads which contain insults thrown at their country which would strongly suggest the conclusion that they must be here to defend something and if not then why are they here?

IronGalaxy:
My guy, try to spin this to your heart's content it doesn't change the fact that you're a hypocrite. You blab that South Africans are Xenophobic everytime when in-fact Nigerians themselves are tribalistic. That's hypocritical, you are a hypocrite

These answers have nothing to do with spin and everything to do with developing critical thinking skills and diving deeper into things.

Therefore you have presented nonsensical logic. Nigerians are criminals and so are South Africans. Does that then mean that We cannot point out the criminal acts of Nigerians or South Africans. You do that on here on a constant basis don't you as I point out your xenophobic tendencies, no?

IronGalaxy:
The hypocrisy was that you come from a highly tribalistic environment but you are so adept at pointing out xenophobia from others..

If I were tribalistic or actively in support of people who were tribalistic and then pointed out the xenophobia in South Africa then that would be hypocritical of me

IronGalaxy:
The onus of proof rest on you guy since you're the one who talks about " defending and patriotism blah blah..so you must know why would we need to defend.

And fyi im not here everyday

if you are not defending comments here on nairaland about your country then what are you doing?


I take that back you and "Jack Bleazy" here every other day?

IronGalaxy:
why would our country need defending in the first place?

I don't know, you tell me. You are the one here everyday aren't you or do you just come for the fun of it?

IronGalaxy:
Lol,
You like flattering yourself don't you?

The word "forte" simply means "something you excel in" eg . "Cooking is not your forte"

I said to you earlier that "hypocrisy was your forte" .meaning you excel in hypocrisy
.
..now how can you teach me a world I already knew and already used?

Stop forcing intellectualism, it's becoming increasingly tacky

Great. You must now show how hypocrisy is my forte since this was not what I meant when I used the word.

annnnnddddd.......Go!

IronGalaxy:
This is the hyocrisy I alluded to earlier and that Morphy wants me to point it out again

Have I ever alluded to the fact that my backyard is clean. You must point to where I have insinuated such.

Maybe the real story is just about a couple of young Saffer chaps who's bloods are constantly boiling because they feel insulted by a couple of Nigerian comments and in their bid to come off "patriotic" to their nation are compelled to hang around a Nigerian website on a daily basis "defending" their country in cyber space.

What do you think?

IronGalaxy:
Bark alone chap.

All you need say is thank you for explaining to you what a "forte" is Mfethu

JaceBlaze:
When you say "try me" what exactly it is that you want me to say? Okay just show me your intelligence without me provoking you... let's see.

No try me means set up a premise and state your opinion then wait for a response. What subject matter would you like to tackle?

JaceBlaze:
I have seen enough on the topics I have engaged you,serious ones even and I must say you sound like all the frustrated trolls on Nairaland.The only way to know it's you is if I read the name of the account,see? That's how indistinguishable you are from the rest them.Nothing special.

That is a lie.

JaceBlaze:
When you say the better judge you mean a fellow Nigerian who obviously will side with whatever you say because you are representing,right?? Lol

Nigerians would call me out in a second if they knew any better, its in their nature.

JaceBlaze:
Fool! If you argue with me you must impress me, otherwise what's the point?

We haven't even begun to argue.

JaceBlaze:
It doesn't take away your intelligence.......you just never had it,can't take away what was never there.

Try me then, don't be lazy now.

JaceBlaze:
I have seen you in multiple topics,even those about SA and I must say you always sound like every low IQ troll from Makoko, repeatedly using words like "xenophobia","Aids","lazy" ...you sound like every last one of them.You do not impress me and I doubt you ever will...

Stop lying man, you have not seen nor read about me in anything outside of SA topics which is what I basically focus on ever since I came back from my hiatus.

It is quite elementary to understand the reason I use those words. I have a dislike for people who take out thier pent up frustrations on vulnerable communities and my theme has remained consistent throughout the years.

I like putting up mirrors at people who think they are putting up mirrors at other people.

Ps I don't need to impress you. I only need to express my thoughts, nairalanders and those who come to read these banters will be better judges.

JaceBlaze:
Sounds like you got deeply touched.I'm sorry man,it's just the way I feel about you...suck it up.

Nah,Just wanted you to understand we can all hit below the belt, doesn't really take anything away from my intelligence.

JaceBlaze:
Nothing intellectual has ever come out of your mouth,so like I said,you fail at any angle to be entertaining,whether it's humour or serious topic.Just to sum it up in two words... YOU SUCK.

You would be strongly advised to run massive searches on nairaland for Morphues and unfortunately would have to find out and eat those words my Saffa friend.

but of course we all know how lazy ya'll are at stuff like that.

IronGalaxy:
why must I point something you qouted yourself and claimed it was "your forte". Focus Einstein

A forte is a claim in expertise or knowledge of something. This cannot be hypocritic.

A statement can be hypocritic. You have to point that out.

IronGalaxy:
I already did duh? For someone who likes bragging about high IQs and superior intellect, you can be terribly slow.

A hyprocrite is someone who puts on a show of being virteous in character , morals or facts.

Again you would have to point out my hypocrisy.

JaceBlaze:
You failed at attempts to sound like an intellectual.Now you are trying to be humourous and it ain't working either...just a bad look for you all around.

I will continue to be far more intelligent than you ever will be Mfethu, get that drilled into your head whether it is in jest or If I am feeling serious given the day.

If you want to get down on real intellectual stuff on here on Nairaland then lay down and stop running around here like new P.U.S.Sy that hasn't been smashed yet.

JaceBlaze:
More like a daydreaming Nairaland clown?

Who will continue to be faithfully here to serve the King's court.

JaceBlaze:
They try to sweep someone's backyard while their's is dirty.

Can't speak for the motive of other nairalander butJust look at me like an Amnesty international funded by the West.

IronGalaxy:
you're right.
Hypocrisy is your forte

You would have to point out the Hyprocrisy for that statement to be valid.

IronGalaxy:
imagine coming from a very tribalistic country yourself but you spend the most time concerning yourself with the xenophobic attitudes of others.

it is my forte.

IronGalaxy:
The pont is you're the last dog to bark regarding GBV . This seems to have flew over your head as well

In the context of the original response to "Jack bleazy." Nah I don't think so.

JaceBlaze:
And what is the good Samaritan Morphy doing with the happening in his country everyday?

Working on it and still here.

JaceBlaze:
You shouldn't be mad,cause like I said,it's not an issue that should bother you

Violence against any woman should bother a sane person and only xenophobes would quantify such feelings in terms of nationality.

IronGalaxy:

The point completely goes over your head about GBV doesn't it.

IronGalaxy:
Rest mfethu, you have almost nothing to say

yes attack the personality and not what is being said.

Straw man argument tactics.

Attack the lie in the statement made. Mfethu!

JaceBlaze:
In South Africa,which makes it a South African issue.Not something for you to concern yourself with.

Hey own your it, I aint mad at that.
