Vote Obi as president and enjoy peace and security in Nigeria.

englishmart:
I guess it's subsidized in Nigeria, or the quality here is very substandard.

It's has different taste ...

The US Coke is somehow tick

The day I tasted foreign Guinness Stout was the day I knew we have been drinking rubbish Guinness stout here in Nigeria

Olasyke:
The quality here is trash, and it got worse since 2020. Seems like they are diluting it nowadays. Looks light and see through. Cost of business wan kill them so in turn, they give us substandard poison products.

is the quality of RICE also thrash when you compare the price ?

You think say na coke you Dey drink for Nigeria?
Go see the dark color of coke for those countries.

sacajawea:

Is there imported Coke in Nigeria?
Where can I buy it?

Shoprite or foreign groceries store across Lagos...

One CAN can go for 600#

It is determined by cost of production.
Wages here is basically cheap, cost of leasing equipments, so is energy and for this reason price could be lower.

Eriokanmi:
. It's even higher that $7 in some states in the US. The fact remains that, we're not consuming same quality of coke. Fanta is even worse . You'd not want to drink Fanta again once you taste it as someone who comes to Nigeria to visit. It used to be very good but the economic situation has made most companies reduce the quality of their products to remain in business in Nigeria

My grouse is the way they are quick to compare the incomparable, forgetting that the living standard in those countries are appreciable. The rate at which they disgrace themselves is alarming.
A minimum wage per hour in US can buy 13.8 bottles of coca-cola in Nigeria while in Nigeria minimum wage per hour will buy 1.38 bottles of coca-cola each at #200. Not knowing it's even cheaper for them there than here.
Anyone earning #30,000 monthly and is drinking #200 coca-cola daily, just know that he is drinking his hourly salary.

Cheap? It is expensive in Nigeria compared to other countries. Let's take for instance, Denmark which is +4$, hourly wage is 20$, while Nigeria hourly wage is 0.09$ (minimum wage) and the price of coke is 0.38. Hourly wage in Nigeria cannot purchase 1 can of coke while Denmark hourly wage can purchase almost 3-4 can.

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

englishmart:
The price of coke in Nigeria is way cheaper than it is in the USA and most developed parts of the world.
Below are the charts that bear the prices relative to countries.

I guess it's cheaper in 3rd world countries.

If you have someone in USA tell them to buy coke for you when coming then compare it to the nonsense you are drinking here

Dey play.... The Quality of this Fanta we were supplied when we went to bring back a vessel from Spain to Nigeria is entirely different

It taste more like black water these days. You don't even get the dope feeling you use to have when you finish a bottle of coke. That genuine cocaine burst that makes one burp those days no dey dey there again.

And fakes from the backyards abound too.

The taste of coke and Pepsi 3years ago ain't thesame now. I no longer take them.

Cost of production (access to raw materials, cheap labour), Tax policies, standard of living of the consumers...

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Earning power of Nigerians and Coca Cola's staff is lower. Tax is lesser in Nigeria, Coca-Cola pays no environment and recycling fee in Naija, raw materials are cheaper in Nigeria they just sink a borehole and use the water free.

Water and labour are cheap in Nigeria

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Carbonated drinks are heavily Taxed in many developed nation. do you want the Nigerian government to place a heavy tax on it.

Reinamaria:


I doubt there's such thing as substandard coke.
Unless theirs have extra caffeine in it, which will not be good.

While the one here can't really be substandard or adulterated, Coke and its related brands in most of those is different in taste compared to here.
May be "sweeter" or something, but it is different on taste.

vickydevoka:

Production cost

Noted

Can you share the minimum wage of those aforementioned countries and compare with Nigeria.....let's start the argument from there.

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Labour is cheap in Nigeria .... Countries like Norway pays unskilled workers per hour

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Because our currency is weaker

Yours is not coke but coloured water and sugar.

Una think say na original Coke una dey take for Naija; 😂 😂 😂 Una dey deceive una selves shaa. Na substandard Coke una dey drink. Na Nigerian breweries dey try dish out better drinks shaa.

Let’s start exporting coke and Pepsi

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

try and taste the coke in other countries I swear you'll drink coca cola nor any mineral product here in Nigeria again.

As you compare the prices , also try to compare the quality of the Nigerian product to other Countries you have just listed

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Which nutrient is actually contained in coke

Why should I buy coke at high price

Reinamaria:


I doubt there's such thing as substandard coke.
Unless theirs have extra caffeine in it, which will not be good.

The one in Nigeria is definitely different from the one in the IS
