Even those you think are well refined are just piece of garbage. How brainsh washed can so be people? What's that senile bigot saying that amused Ribadu so much to the point of laughing and shaking someone behind there? Isn't the cleric making an inflammatory comments? And our so called sound National Security Adviser was right there cheering him up. God! How did some of us end being Nigerians?

Again, another theory. You did not give an answer my question. How many have sustained thier businesses this way? Apparently, this will keep going in circles, so I'll just leave you with this.

The primary goal of a business is to maximize profit and stay in business.
This is the difference between you and I and it's a wide gap.
The primary goal of a business to a layman is profit making like you've stated but in reality the purpose of any business venture is to satisfy a need, a product in the market is not necessarily for profit but for solve a need.

Copying an existing brand that has the same portfolio and operates in the same region is not a tested and trusted strategy to achieve any of these as you claimed in your first comment. It has failed far more than it has succeeded.
Every product you can think of today were all copied from another product, Toyota did not invent the motor vehicle it copied from an existing product, Microsoft was the first company to launch a tablet PC before Apple copied and introduced the iPad, Google copied the search engine concept from Yahoo, AOL. Pepsi copied Coca-Cola in making pepsi.The first PC was by Kenbak Corporation today we have HP,Apple, Dell, IBM all copied Kenbak, i can go on and on.

Those who do it usually have a temporary surge when thier products are confused with the "original" after which they fade away. No serious business strategist who wants to stay in business for long would rely on this your "great idea". The only reason this Chinese company is trying it is because they're retailers that may not have in-house products. I don't know what they teach y'all in school, but one needs to have worked in branding to know the real life impact of certain business decisions.

You obviously have limited knowledge on this subject, you shouldn't be showing this level of arrogance in ignorance....

Ciao !

olandan:
This write-up is a complete trash! I wonder if some people even think before pouring nonsense

Gadafii:
I am a Muslim but I find this very distasteful and inciting

It’s unfortunate these people are still playing politics of hate, tribe and religion while hunger and starvation, insecurities inflation etc are hugging the entire nation

The igbos will definitely have the last laught, they are been taugh a lesson truly, one of which is to go back home and develop it, while the yorubas and the Hausa:Fulani are learning the hardest and the most bitter lessons, hunger was finish them for their side, they are now protesting and burning flags, queuing up on Lagos island to receive miserable #300 shege Banza agege bread, etc

This cleric is not concerned about the insecurities that have stopped farmers from accessing their games there in the north na tinubu wey no share money to them be his headache

By the way, where is Gumi

Sir, you did not address the point I raised. Neither segmentation nor differentiation suggests that copying an existing brand name is a good idea. When it comes to intuitive subjects like this, the ideal thing would be to look at the the market and draw conclusions from there. Can you sight a good number of case studies where this strategy made the newer organizations to actually level up with the competitor? I have an endless list of brands that did this and got labeled the 'fake' one even though thier products were as good as thier competitors'. Like I stated in my earlier response, this is a great idea only when there's no direct clash. Otherwise, a brand that copies its name from another is likely to have identity issues.

ZaRuleOfLaw:
If this is real, then it's a proof that this religion turns people into goats. Things might not get better until this union of strange tribes is broken up. I wish Gideon Orkar succeeded that year

etrange:
I disagree. This strategy might work when there is no direct competition (different region, industry etc.). Otherwise, taking a name similar to an established brand is very likely to backfire. It gives the impression that they are a fake version of the original company and. Consequently, consumers might find it hard to trust them, and they'd be right not to trust a company that couldn't come up with an original name.

Mass production requests and lack of control marred the image of Africa-bound Chinese products in the past. Due to cheap labour, people ordered low quality copies of known brands and sold them as the original and, as a result, made-in-China became synonymous with fake. Taking a name very similar to that of a big brand like Shoprite follows a similar pattern, and this might cast a shadow of doubt in their products even though they're just retailing company.

Such strategy simply makes you the imitator and like they say, an imitator can never be original. Search engines might even try to correct people searching for your company's name. Lol

SoNature:
That's wrong. If you must move those departments, take them to the ND states.

Instead of making efforts to create opportunities in other states across Nigeria so they can decongest an overpopulated Lagos, these greedy Lagos politicians want to grab everything.

That's why Buhari and Tinubu can never be the man that Jonathan and Obasanjo were. While the former were regional champions foisted on the country, the latter were detribalised presidents.

T9ksy:
You are definitely the unfortunate one with these false narratives you are trying to spread here. Once again, I reiterate, Nigerians have been running to Niger republic since 2013 as refugees from boko haram insurgency in the NE.You are now trying to misinform your fellow mugus that it was only since Tinubu's presidency that Nigerians began to run over to niger republic for their, dear lives.

Read the link I provided. You are a damned shameless liar and a mischievous being.

I don't know what you are yapping about, you cursed soul
I didn't add even a single word of my own on the news article I shared, I simply shared it in it's original form....how is that mischief Dumbo?
If I want to be mischievous I will insert my opinions and biases in the article.
I am just a concerned citizen whose aim is to continually bring to public space the kind of information that are not reported by mainstream media-the true state of affairs.

agulion:
Refugees and displaced people are part and parcel of Islam, so no problem, whenever you see displaced people you see hijabs and some awaiting terrorist children

T9ksy:
Op, you are such an unfortunate individual with mischief as your core personality trait. You should have stayed in the "Romance section of NL, where skill will be more appreciated.


.

The conflict in north-east Nigeria has forced more than 220,000 people to find refuge in neighbouring countries since 2013, including 138,300 in Niger (Nigerian and Niger nationals). Over 2.2 million people are also internally displaced, mainly in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. In Niger, insurgent incursions had displaced an estimated 50,000 people within the country, but this figure is now likely to change.

Smartguyboy:
Obi is a fraud
Will never rule this zoo

Looking and laughing at them now .

Effiongman:
All the banks involved in the fraud, including Jaiz Islamic Bank, the C.E.O., and three others, were arrested two weeks ago for exploiting nigerians. it is the CBN that makes the rules in such a way to allow them exploit Nigerians. Bode himself is not clean, was he not jailed for stealing billion of naira? at least allow the dead Access bank CEO to be buried before you start raising dust. not proper at this moment for a man that also lost his wife and son in an accident.

olisaEze:
I don’t care if you’re looking for traffic or engagements, but it can never be well with you. Imagine you’re one of the victims bereaved kids, currently confused with all this, stumbling on to this headline. Your upbringing is evidenced by your lack of respect for both the living & the dead.

MadamExcellency:
Is it why he killed him?

Malroux:
This one will fail woefully just like Tinubu.

Angelfrost:
Please, stop being naive.

Which yeye hardship is uniting whom?!! Lol.

They are simply acting at the behest of their Northern elders who hate to see a Southerner in that office.

They did the exact same nonsense while Jonathan was in power.

Buhari was Million times worse and more clueless than Jonathan, yet they never coughed or United...!


They should keep fooling themselves and gullible Nigerians who take them seriously.

freeborn02:
You sound uninformed. If the current APC muslim-muslim candidates come up again in 2027, the northern and yoruba Muslims will still choose it above common sense.

If the president is a northerner, no Islamic cleric will attack him. Instead, they will say it.is the will of allah.

If you think stupid religion sentiment has left the north, then you should start reversing your thoughts.
