Is not compulsory you go to Shoprite ok.

Zionmdde:
Let those pictures not deceive anyone though, the economy is very bad but people are still trooping in and out of these malls, clubs, fast foods, parks etc 247.
This picture may not have represented the true state of patronage in that mall. It may have even been taken early morning

Without any stock on the shelves?

So you're practically saying Shoprite Ilorin is now an amusement park?

And yeah they are!

It was booming in the past until APC came to power.


Nigeria's Middleclass is almost gone; they have all migrated abroad out of fear, only few are left and they are living in constant fear of what tomorrow will be, sadly yet some heartless Nigerians out of tribalism and stupidity want Tinubu to continue, to do what exactly? Maybe to turn Nigeria to Sudan

Things aren't really going well in the country.

If you haven't gone out of Lagos, you'd not understand.

The same view here in Ilorin is the same thing with Shorprite in Ibadan.

Its a different story in Lagos though.

Foot falls at shopping malls in some parts of the country are now being used as a benchmark to measure the success or otherwise of the Tinubu .
While those who use this indices to measure the may not be entirely wrong, it’s also not an accurate reflection of the economic situation in the country; before my position is mistaken as denying the existence of economic hardship realities across the country, what I’m saying is there are other ways to measure than using foot fall in malls
For instance, the video could’ve been made on a slow business day or time also, the fact remains that if any such business owners in the mall aren’t making sales in volumes that cover their running costs and then some little profit, they would’ve closed shop without delay to cut further incurring losses.
Finally, they try to paint the economy as very terrible & unfavorable to businesses yet, their hero who came 3rd in the last presidential elections, has rebuilt his mall (Next Cash & Carry) that was burnt down in a fire accident some few years back; he will restock the business, employ new hands, etc knowing how business owners operate and project, if the economy isn’t viable and doesn’t businesses to grow and make profit, would he have bothered to reinvest tens of billions to rebuilding? Who rebuilds in a dying or stiffling economy?

There is no more middle class in nigeria..you are either rich or poor

Once pride business under gej and even buhari , now struggling under master strategist

Lol.. ppl are trying to survive in this regime

I have said, why remove subsidy without a commensurate effective palliatives to cushion the effect. Nigerians better tighten its seat belt because it is in for a long ride!

Trooping in to feed their eyes and while away time

Terrible bro

Tulumbu is doing well... Investors running to Nigeria to invest... I pity the Ediots believing all these lies

This type of mall thrives when the purchasing power is high. The last time I visited the ShopRite in Abuja, most departmental stores were virtually begging people to buy as they sat idle all day without sales.

so They park all their goods at closing hour and put It back on resumption... One thing about defending APC.. you will always look stupids on your own defence

Yeah people are trooping in Buh to buy what exactly, @ what quantity ?? how much can people afford to spend ?? this are the issues

i am a Fan of Mall, i go to mall @least trice in a week, i see what the long queue buy out

The reality on ground is people purchasing power have being eroded, people downsize now, person wey dey buy indomie carton before now buy pieces, thats the reality of most Nigerians now

Abeg stop this falsehood...Trooping in to do what?!!

Businesses are suffering and clo all around due to the poor economy.

The buying power of most Nigerians has diminished so badly that investments are losing money daily.

Maybe draw close to people who actually own businesses, and ask them how far... Ask them how much they are making in profit today compared to 5 or 10 years ago.

Investing money in Nigeria today is riskier than sleeping beside a hungry rattlesnake.

Okay, this is actually another angle to the whole scenario; the fact that Shoprite have since exited Nigeria and are probably just scaling down their operations makes sense.
For e.g the Shoprite at Novare Mall, Central (Wuse Zone 5) has shut down since last year. The one at Apo is a shadow of itself and may also soon shutdown too.
While the diminished purchasing power of Nigerians is a strong factor in the decline of shopping culture among Nigerians, there are also other factors at play.

christejames:
Not just Ilorin, I think since the anchor managers of Shoprite left Nigeria 🇳🇬 the company has not been itself again...


Same in Enugu and other locations across board.

Tinubu is walking.
And the economy like a rod is drooping.
Congratulations, Nigerians!

Nigerians are the most gullible, brainwashed and dumbest people ever,u see people being oppressed and impoverished by their oppressors and those keeping them in abject poverty,yet because of tribalism, religion and ethnicity, their brains are completely locked to logic and reasoning,hence those criminals rogues continue to use and create a divide amongst them while the oppressors live in luxury and opulence

mrvitalis:

There is no mall or clubs that more people are trooping in and out today compared to 2023

None

The fact you can't even see middle class shrinking when evidence is before you shows why you APC

The problem is not APC or PDP or whatever.
The problem is bad people and leaders.

Shopleft

phemmie06:
Tinubu is actually working, we need to give him 12 years to fix the country, PDP really caused lot of damaged to this country.


Nigerians are lazy, that is why the economy is bad.


Nigerians love luxury, why going for shopping when you can easily take gari and stream water.


That is what some stupid and blind followers will say.

Tell me one President Buhari was better than ?

This just broke my heart ❤

The picture actually represents what Ilorin ShopRite looks like at the moment
I just left the place about few minutes ago and was surprised to see that Nigerian economy is happening to ShopRite.
Even my dear vanice ice-cream is gone
