Op, aside the normal "we sell our water" , it goes beyond open eyes. If you are an experienced amala eater from days back you will understand jazz is involved. Some of them believe you will spoil their jazz if you bring items into their restaurants, it way be part of the rules of the juju. What is the juju done for, it is to attract customers to the joint. Back in the day juju was not hidden in amala joints, once you enter you lookup by the roof of the entrance door the juju will be clearly displayed. Infact we then will like to see the juju as it means the amala will be sweet, the only thing is the owner should not make it too potent that it will turn belle lol. Over time people got wise and started getting scared of the juju, so those joint stated covering them with wood so you will not see, but an experience person will know when you see a wooded structure with key above the entrance. In recent days you no longer see the juju, it is well masked. Why do you think that lady will refuse to sell food to you that will have cost over 4k just because of 150-300 bottle water? Mama no want make you spoil her jazz which will cost her more in sales and to rectify it. |

columbus007:word ... U are not far from the truth...it's better he leaves...he shouldn't be move by the number of customer going there to eat... |

Moraklaw:Not a matter of customer-centric things. Its just to prevent unnecessary headache of allowing people to come and dictate for you in your space. If that's their policy there, pls go somewhere else and stop trying to bring down their business. There are SEVERAL EATERIES and EVENT CENTRES where you're not allowed to come in woth your foodstuffs and you guys don't have a problem with it. |
| Re: Frustrating Experience At Amala Joint At Shomolu by GloriousGbola: 5:09pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
Moraklaw:No eatery of any grade will allow patrons to bring in their own food. If you don't want to buy their drinks at their price , package the food and eat it outside. |
| Re: Frustrating Experience At Amala Joint At Shomolu by GloriousGbola: 5:11pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
damoobaba:I have NEVER seen an eatery where people bring in their own food. |

twilliamx:Definitely will be doing that! What’s so special about any Amala joint that will make water a contraband. Even in 5 start hotels, I am allowed to have a bottle of water at hand. We not talking about a carton a water here. We talking about a bottle of water. Normal bottle that people take a stroll with. Never knew it was a cocaine. |

Omonigeriarere:Please stop calling it standard. You are abusing the word. What standard is it that, whenever you have a bottle of water at hand, you can not walk into a restaurant. Are we all sane here? A bottle of water in hand is a turn off for a restaurant owner? That’s the highest level of illiteracy, ignorance and wickedness. I don’t think anyone would buy water because he is going to eat. It definitely would be a something out of thought. So having a bottle of water at hand is now a crime if you must venture to eat? Damn! You lots support ills. |

Moraklaw:The amala restaurant might be having an exclusive contract with a bottled water brand which you aren't aware of, there are some restaurants that certain brands give rewards and other benefits based on agreement that the restaurant will not allow other competing brands in their outlet. And if this is the case, they should have informed you in a polite way. I am in the food and beverage industry and this is called brand exclusivity agreement/contract |

Moraklaw:When dishing out informations like this, it is best to state the specific amala spot, so that people can avoid her, once she discovered that she has lost customers, she will come back to her senses |

Moraklaw:Don't be sad about your experience, that is how some traders behaved( educated or illiterates), they are all the same. The moment they start getting unrestricted customers, they care less of anyone again. I can't count the number of places I have withness such attitudes. Mayb you don't go out often to buy things, otherwise this their attitudes would not be new to you. |
