This is great news.

If we spend our money within ourselves it will be great than spend it out. Let be wise let us first help ourselves before we help others

I still can't explain the rationale behind somebody refusing to buy "ojolowo bread" at N250 besides his house then take Okada N300 to shoprite to buy N700 bread at shoprite is this also the government's fault?

saharareporters is just doing their own anti SA promotion

shoprite in most of these civil service states only does good business on sundays and public holidays

other than that na to buy bread only

just a poorly thought out article

even within lagos, you will see that shoprite has been strategic.

the biggest and best stocked are in ikeja and lekki

most of the others are like poor cousins.i live in festac, and you cannot compare the size and content at shoprite festac to shoprite lekki

sometimes, i just go to lekki when i want my full options.

now look at akure, a civil service town with little to no business per se.

everytime we wanted to do upgrades of stations in akure, they simply could not meet the numbers.

how many people there would be shopping at shoprite in the first place?

even in lagos, intelligent shoppers plan their purchases. indomie and ariel are cheaper in shop rite, items like peak are more expensive. most household goods are overpriced, so you only buy the imported ones you know only shoprite stocks. to be frank,a lot of the time, i just go straight for the clearance aisle.

in the end, this is just a BS dreaming article as far as i am concerned.

Great..... I wish this matter will be followed up and hammer all south African company with extremely high tariffs and exceptionally high vat, thereby making business extremely uncomfortable for them until nigerian investors will all pull of their companies and they'll finally have no other choice than leaving for Good.... We can do without them but they can't do without us.

But do our govt have sense.

Apt!

marylandcakes:
When it comes to business, the sooner you Nigerians start behaving like the Jews and Indians the better. They patronise themselves first before foreigners, that way they are growing their economy and bettering themselves. They believe if their brother or neighbour is doing fine, then the community is doing fine. They don’t go about displaying their Gucci or Versace as this is translated as stupidity.

Who is selling rice and grilled chicken among you ,it is the only usefulness shop rite has to me.

I don't know the outlet of shop rite you're buying your bread from,but it's 300 in shoprite.

Dave0116:
yes, just for awhile and that will encourage low patronage until their brand dies naturally.

MTN & DSTV are still here

Shut the fvck up. Wtf is a fvcking fruit?
They know they can hardly bring those from SA as they're highly perishable but every other thing comes from SA. Foolish asslicker.

xxolisexx:
Shoprite will be back soon, and stronger, take it or leav it, shoprite took shopping experience to a whole new level, they believe so much in nigerian products, most of the fruits yu see in shoprite are locally sourced, shoprite even goes a long way to bring in seeds of crops that are not grown in nigeria and share to farmers for them to grow in nigeria,

FarahAideed:


You lack total sense

pleas tell that to Donald Trump who used exact same strategy to boost America's economy to the current peak its enjoying now...... Making people respect you will build confidence in investors and that's the only way Nigeria can leverage on the bad image they've created for themselves to draw investors down here.... Its all business you know...

If Nigeria president can be like Trump

Lol.... why are you like this

wengerjay:
We don't know shoprite in Akure, we only know CECI and NAO.
You can shut down your shoprite for years.

I dey tell you... Even their bread wey be hotcake before, NAO bread don dey compete with am

if the government really want to... They will, how long did it take them to take over etisalat? Just attack MTN with the $2b fine and they will be gone for good.... DSTV have lots of irregularities in tax and service code... Boom they are out.... The thing is government are not ready once they reason their matter they will all be gone in just few months.

They don't have any competition worthy of mention my dear sir and the government is not interested in placing fines when they can simply extort the companies for personal gains.

These supermarkets sell a lot of fake products. One advantage of shopping malls is the guarantee of original provisions.

Even shoprite's bread that sales fast in one of the civil service states you mentioned (Ondo State) now have a strong competitor(NAO bread)

then allow NAFDAC do their work... They are paid.

There are things I won't think of buyiny in shoprite, for example electronics.
The differences between their prices and that of authorized electronic dealers or other electronic dealers are high, sometimes up to ten of thousands but trust some Nigerians, they like showoff.

its because of the calibres of Nigerian investors who did all they could to monopolize the market e.g DSTV... If government takes that decision those investors won't make profits and have no choice than to pullout and that kills their brand naturally.

We need strong competitors not SunWin operators.

NITEL was the biggest in Nigeria until econect came along, econet became the biggest until Glo took over, now MTN is running things so if they leave they will be companies to fill that vaccume comfortable but the most important thing is to create an enabling environment for investors and you can't do that when one company monopolized everything so if MTN and DSTV leaves it'll be the best thing that'll happen to us because it will make room for healthy competition.

Welcome development, but let's face it our people are greedy. They will use this opportunity to hike prices, we exploit ourselves when we spot opportunities to do so. A location that costs 50 naira will become 100 naira just because it's raining. I lost my Samsung note pen and went to buy it in the market and they told me 7k, I bought the same pen for 800 naira on AliExpress. My laptop keyboard they told me 8k but it costs 3k on AliExpress. Why did we patronize shoprite in the first place? Because things where cheap there and usually not fake products. There bread costs 350 naira here, but the once in stores cost 500 naira but complete nonsense. Nigeria will be better when we stop becoming greedy, until then shoprite will resume stronger.

This is the right time for TSTV to take over from DSTV
