Their number one top seller is their bread. Maybe that's what's bringing the real money, cos I see people lining up for the bread everytime I go there. The other things are just ajasa...the main thing they sell is bread.

The Bokku store in my area sells their bread 1,300, nylon 120.

If you add the cost of flour, sugar, wheat and other ingredients, how much profit do you think they make per bread?

Even if 100 people buys it every day, how much profit do you think they'll be making? And the problem here is that they have their stores clustered around each other, so if you buy from this store today, you might choose to buy from another one tomorrow.

So where's their profit coming from?

That is not true.
They sell cheaper.

For real. I don't know sha, the only thing I buy from them is their bread.

GloriousGbola:
Every mallam sells coke and pepsi at 500
bokku sells coke at 390, pepsi at 370

kings cooking oil 3 litres ws 12k, noww 11k. it is like 15k everywhere else
i bought canoe soap the big one at n600 . in most su0permarkets it is over n700
bag of rice is definitely less

they sell sugar 1100. same sugar is 1250 to 1500 in other stores

rat board is n300 in bokku, n500 everywhere else

a lot of their prices are lower.

So how do they make their profit considering the millions they spent on investment?

Lol. True. They just keeping opening like they have a deadline to finish spending 700 billion dollars or something.

Lol. In my area, I've counted about 4 of their stores within walking distance from each other. It's not like they're into tech that one can easily conclude that they can rake in hundreds of millions as turnover at the end of the year if their services is accepted worldwide.

They sell regular groceries which you can easily get at cheaper rates from mallams and shops within your neighborhood.

So what's their profit margin considering how much they spend on staff salaries, electricity, building cost, taxes...etc. Are they making profit at all?

They're yet to tell us what they're really into. Cos you can't tell me that you'll keep investing hundreds of millions on properties just to sell regular groceries people can get anywhere.

What's their profit margin to begin with?

Well, not necessarily. I don't know your actual usage, but let's say you use 100GB every month, then that 800GB will run out in 10 months and it would have cost you just 125k, roughly ~10k per month, compared to 20k monthly that currently gives you 75k which isn't sufficient.

They do have a 1.5TB annual plan, but it's 450k so I personally don't see it as value for money compared to the 800GB for 125k.

This makes more sense. Spending 120k every 10 months makes more sense than spending 200k.

Thanks.

yewit37486:
Why not opt for the 800GB annual plan? That would work out cheaper for you than the 75 GB monthly.

800/12 is 66. So I'll have to manage 66GB every month for 12 months.

If I'm complaining that 75GB monthly isn't enough, 66GB would be worse.

So aside the fact that the 800GB yearly would be much cheaper than paying 20k every month for 75GB, it still wouldn't solve my problem.

If they had like a 1.5TB plan, one can consider it.

Business › Re: Top 10 Supermarket Chains By Store Count In Nigeria by Nazgul: 5:37am On Apr 04, 2025

Roban only operates in the South East. I've never seen any of their stores outside the southeast.

But you see that Bokku eh, the rate at which they open stores is scary. I was telling someone that it might be owned by a politician cos even in my area, they've bought all the old buildings and transformed them into their supermarket.

The cost of such investments isn't a joke. You've got to have billions on ground to be able to keep up with the pace.

The only reason why the governor and Dave himself were running helter skelter to ensure that the bridge is reopened was because the massive traffic jam affected the elites in Lagos. So hundreds of calls were hitting their mobile phones from these elites, forcing them to order the reopening with immediate effect.

If that bridge was at Okokomiko or Ikorodu or Yaba, believe me, they'll close it for 2 years and nothing would happen.

At least, Peter Mba's second term is assured...

Edeoga can now go for the senate.

Peter Mba that I despised due to the way he emerged as a guvnor went ahead and convince me (even his opponent) with some cutting edge transformation in the state. This is a least we expected from Pablo that also stole power, instead of convincing Nigerians that he meant well for them, he continued with his Pablo attitude

The South East in few years to come will be the centre of attraction in Africa with what's going on in Abia, Anambra and Enugu... The other two are not left out, just trudging behind though.

With the way fulani herdsmen are killing Ndi Enugu unchallenged, and how's he's playing the mute role, are you sure that there would be anyone left for him to govern by 2027.

MTN should talk true, since they started this increment madness, 7gb don't last me a week. I don't watch online video with MTN data, I use glo for that, I only connect my phone to my laptop to read emails and work, apart from that nothing else, I don't even download. I will just receive messages from MTN, you have 78 MB left. Only God will help us in this country.

I exhaust close to 20GB every week. I do load 75GB every month and as weird as it might sound, it finishes before the end of the month.

MTN are just criminals. I don't blame them though, we have a government that doesn't care about her citizens.

We can still make it. If we win our remaining 4 matches, we'll be on 16 points, if south Africa drops points and we defeat them, we'll overtake them. We can still make it.

What justice is she crying for when her son, out of greed, consent to a fight that he wasn't scheduled to appear for $500

Wait I don't get it. Like he'll be paid $500 for the fight?

That's about 750k. Even if he survived and sustained serious injuries, he'll exhaust that money treating himself.

The money he was promised wasn't worth the risk at all.

TIP is not mandatory neither is it compulsory.
You wouldn't be punished for not doing so.
It's usually out of benevolence.

I have had to TIP someone beyond what she was meant to charge me. A Lady who is licensed as a professional massage therapist, gave me the massage of my life in Phoenix while transitioning through the city.
I was meant to pay her $40 for a 90 mins session but I ended up giving her a $150.
She has got a midas touch. She's not normal.
She made me leave planet earth, ensuring I cruised through celestial homes abode.
That's how we TIP.

If it's not mandatory, it's shouldn't be included on the receipt.

If you tip a bank staff, it's between you and her. The moment you start getting a receipt for your tips, then it has become official and they would always expect you to tip whenever you visit.

That's what I think.

I agree with you. If you work and earn, then someone gives you 10k. You will understand the person probably gave you his 3days salary, out of 21days and you are not the only one he is giving.

Exactly. Imagine gifting a girl who earns 200k per month 20k, she'll appreciate it cos she understands the value of such amount of money. It can solve her feeding for at least 2weeks, it can also solve her pending bills and save her the stress of unnecessary spending.

But if you give that same amount of money to a jobless girl, she'll sulk and tell you that it's a far cry from what she wants to use it for. Reason being that she doesn't understand the value of money cos she's never worked for it.

pocohantas:
I find it strange that there are people who go through life without earning for once. Able bodied humans...

Well here in Nigeria, so many men directly or indirectly encourage laziness in women. It's in Nigeria you'll see a struggling guy who earns 350k, sending 150k to his girlfriend every month for upkeep. If you try to advise him, he'll defend his actions and tell you she's his girl so he's got to take care of her.

The problem here is that girls who fall into this category become entitled, they would feel it's the responsibility of the man to give them money. Most don't even bother to sharpen their skills so that they can start earning their own money, I mean why should they when they can comfortably date 3-4 guys simultaneously and earn close to a million (or more) every month without stress.

It is not even about her loyalty (in return), because I can do same and more for a platonic friend, let alone lover. I am talking of the long term strength to carry a wife, kids and in-laws. That is me assuming they end up married.

He can always set her up business wise so that she can become financially independent.

Cos I've noticed that women who heap financial burden their men the most are the ones who barely understands the daily struggle men go through to make money. The moment she understands how difficult it is to manage a business and maintain a certain profit margin, she'll do all she can to ease the burden on him.

He would need a lot of it.

Sometimes I don't judge people who invest in love cos most times they do it from a pure heart. It's just that in most cases, the recepient makes them regret their actions.

When he told me what he did, I just kept quiet cos after all it's his money not mine. If the girl can remain loyal to him, fine. If she chooses not to do so, it's her life.

Hardly you will see a single man renting a house for a guy. It doesn't just happen like that. It's the married men.

The mostly does it so that they can avoid going to hotel.

If a single guy care so much and love the girl he will just marry her or invite her for them to live together. No single guy will rent a house for a girl and sleep with his clear mind. He will always think other men is visiting her.

I disagree with you.

I seen guys who pay part or full payment of their girlfriend's place. Sometimes she might request for a loan from the guy to offset the rent and end up not paying him back.

I even know someone personally who just paid this year's rent for his girlfriend. The house is inhabited by her mom and 3 siblings. Her dad is late.

There's nothing married men do for girls that single guys don't do.
