International boxer Anthony Joshua has shaken some tables that most female celebrities won’t love as he says he would rather carry a plastic bag with £5k in it.
According to him, he prefers using a plastic bag with an amount of £5k in it than using a Louis Viton bag with an amount of £100 in it.

His post cautions about how one spends his/her money and the kind of things the money is spent on even though it’s the individual’s money and no one can tell them how to spend it.

Most of our female celebrities are found guilty of this as they spend so much on designer bags but have no money to keep in the bags.

Shoprite, Africa’s biggest grocery retailer, has announced plans to leave Nigeria after 15 years.

The Cape Town-based retailer has started a formal process to consider the potential sale of all or a majority stake in its supermarkets in Nigeria, it said in a trading statement for the 52 weeks to end June, which was released on Monday, August 3.

https://gisthubnaija.com/shoprite-announces-plan-to-pull-out-of-nigeria/

Bloomberg reports that Shoprite is considering selling its Nigerian operations. This process was initiated after the retail chain said in November that it was reviewing its supermarket operations outside South Africa and would consider exiting certain countries if that would help reverse regional sales declines.

Shoprite has been battling currency-induced inflation surges in several other African countries.

International supermarkets (excluding Nigeria) contributed 11.6% to group sales, and reported 1.4% decline in sales from 2018. South African operations contributed 78% of overall sales and saw 8.7% rise for the year.

As a result of the COVID-19 lockdown, customer visits declined 7.4% but the average basket spend increased by 18.4%.

This comes just weeks after it was revealed that another popular retail store, Mr. Price Group, is making plans to close its Nigerian business to focus on its home market business in South Africa.

Check the reactions below from Nigerians to the news that Shoprite is pulling out of Nigeria.
