Ibadan Shoprite records high sales...
The mall is just over 70% complete and they've started recording such great sales. Ibadan people I hail o. You people shouldn't start abusing me now o...I wrote this with love...:-). See more pics..
All the bad belle ppl can u see??? When they opened, u were all talking like ppl didn't rush to their Lagos stores too when they first opened just to look...
ReplyDeleteLinda, if I were to have my way, I wouldn't allow any of these super stores in my area. They're nothing but small business killers. They kill mom and pops businesses. People that used to patronize mom and pops stores around the corner are now going to be patronizing shoprite, which will definitely compound unemployment situations. People are no longer going to buy from iyaa sikira, baba ibeji, etc that sell provisions in the local market just because they want to 'belong'. I just don't understand why people are celebrating the opening of all these super stores. Micro economy is the heart beat and engine of any vibrant economy. Mom and pops stores and other small businesses constitutes the micro economy of a nation, kill them off and watch the total collapse of the economy of such nation.
DeleteSuper stores may serve some purpose, but they should not be celebrated or encourage to proliferate.

DeleteGBAM!!! Nigerians like you have sense. People don't believe me when I tell them that its the mentality of most Nigerians that is directly related to the state of the country than we actually realize. All in an effort to "belong" Nigerians always over patronize anything imported. If we must have super stores and corporations of the like, they should at least be Nigerian owned! This will create a multitude of jobs and stimulate the Nigerian economy. Companies from India, South Africa, the Uk, etc all have their hands in Nigeria making money from us while very few Nigerians benefit. We've got to put a stop to this. Nigerians need to stop this idea of looking down on Nigerian-made, or like they call it "Aba-Made" goods instead of paying ridiculous prices for imported goods.
One of the biggest problems with the United States economy is the same thing. Corporations everywhere are driving small businesses out of business while a few are being enriched and Americans are paying heavily for that.
Abeg!Mom and pop stores in Ibadan are doing just fine.Most people can't cope with shoprite distance and the crowd. Foodco,extramile,Bodija stores r doing ok.

ReplyDeleteI'm all for pan-Africanism or what not, but Nigerians seriously need to wake up! Giant of Africa you say? All these companies like MTN (with their crappy service) and Shoprite should instead be Nigerian owned companies. Where are the Nigerian owned companies that are going to give better prices and customer service that will rival Shoprite, and in doing so, make them become a thing of the past? It just saddens me that we claim to be the giants of Africa, yet South Africans (who despise Nigerians as a whole) are making billions annually from companies like MTN, Shoprite, etc etc. Is Nigeria seriously the land of imports?
ReplyDeleteEven American food chains are coming in and making money from the large and virtually untapped market in Nigeria (Dominoes, Cold Stone, KFC, etc).
WAKE UP NIGERIANS!
Does Nigeria not have the potential to lead? With our big mouths we should at least be running things in our region, West Africa!
South Africans mock, ridicule, dehumanize, insult, and make a joke of Nigerians yet you guys cannot stop patronizing their companies. Why? Look at what low self esteem as a nation has led us to. Are there no groups of people amongst the 1% or even 3% that want to start companies like Shoprite. I mean, look at how big WALMART has become!
WAKE UP NIGERIANS!
*yawns* which kain story be dis?

ReplyDeleteLinda u can be quite ignorant. that your silly first report on Shoprite Ibadan was sent to me by an american investor who wanted to know f it was true.
ReplyDeletestop using ur power to spread ignorance abeg
Linda you never stop to dey mumu ur self. And for ur information, is gonna take nothing less Dan 5years before Shoprite can hit ur town. So u need to be patient. Proudly IB city boy. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ReplyDeleteCorrect.even if shoprite eventually open in her town it will soon pack up.
DeleteLinda,that's the second shoprite....opened on the 19th,and its a different mall.
ReplyDeleteYou re a bigot stop this your nonsense post.It makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteWhat PR machine did they use to drag people in there?
ReplyDelete@hilary. the same PR machine used in dragging your ass into writing nonsense on this blog!
DeleteIgnorance is your problem. You know nothing about Ibadan.
ReplyDeletehaters gonna keep hating
ReplyDeleteLinda is not serious.The mall is the second shoprite in Ibadan,opened on the 19th of June and is the biggest Shoprite store in WEST AFRICA.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? ~Onahboy
ReplyDeleteNigerians just rush anything new. Some them most likely don't need what their buying
ReplyDeleteI think is the location that says it all ....the 2nd shoprite was located @ a very Good place (Ring Road) which tends to hav p'ple going there ....I r'mba a very Popular Fast food Restaurant (I wnt mention name b'cos yhu didn't give Lindy any advert money) opened along that Road too,P'ple went there as well buh now it "Shoprite's tym" make una enjoy una sef P'ple of Oluyole,Ring Road,Challenge,Adeoyo,Mobil,joyce B,Liberty Road .... etc shoprite don dey una side o !!!

Idiotic comment
Deletewhat did ibadan do to u linda??abi is it shop rite??
ReplyDeleteat Escalator?
ReplyDeleteat Mecca? Thats offensive LINDA. I am a core indigene of ibadan but lest before we forget i'd like you to do a bit of research as to why they refer Oyo state as the PACE SETTER.
Thank God for lagos for most of you. I feel utterly disgusted about for vendatta against ibadan and its way of life.
@ escalator
ReplyDelete@ Mecca. Linda thats offensive and that shouldnt be classified as a banter. Whats all this vendatta against Ibadan and its way of life? Listen up i like you blogs but i dont understand it whenever you write about ibadan or anything that comes from it.As a writer i feel you are biased and one sided. You do a bit of more research as to why OYO STATE is reffered to as the pace setter. I resides in the UK but i am from ibadan and i feel utterly disgusted whenever i get to read some of your publication about Ibadan.Banters aside please dont thread on the sensitivity of otheres esp when it comes to their Origin and their way of life.
IBADAN RAZZ BUT CORRECT..
She is just being stupid n ignorant
Delete@Linda Ikeji. The problem with you is that you think you are all that,but you ain't! It bothers folk like me when the only time you write stories about my town,Ibadan, it is to amuse yourself and your 'fans' such as this. Believe me,your innuendos are not lost on us. Here's an innocent question,though: Do you even have a shopping mall of that magnitude in your village,nay, even your state?! ...*cricket sounds* Ok,exactly! You can be deceiving those gullible teenagers on your blog,but for some of us,we can see right through you. Please, work on your insecurities, girl! (Like to see you sometime in Ibadan city,though.I hope it won't be too much bother to autograph for your 'fans') *evil smile*
ReplyDeleteLinda IB is a cool place nt jst lag,PH nd Abj...IB is a vry cool place
ReplyDeleteThe last pic reminds me of balogun market hehehe.
ReplyDeleteAbeg park well joor....medicine after death...............................NEXT OF KIN
ReplyDeleteI remember your write-up when you showed us the empty mall. Na wa for d life.
ReplyDelete@linda, bitch,post my comment. You really need to stop with the Ibadan thingy. You are not that far. One phone call...
ReplyDeleteIbadan people have got the money to spend.If shoprite clould record this many sales in Ring road and Dugbe,imagine if the come to Bodija?UI lecturers and students,Basorun/Akobo/Iworoad people will go crazy.i assure you they will make even more money.
ReplyDelete@Linda Ikeji. The joke is on you bitch! Ibadan is a fun place. Copy that! I don't see anyone making fun of your village. So,you really need to watch what you post as it regards Ibadan! People still fall down the stair case!
ReplyDeleteAr u informing d public dat Ibadan is a village?
DeleteLook Linda,you have to really be careful about the way you put Ibadan people down! It's not funny reading about it anymore! Why do u enjoy playing with other people's sensitivity?! That's just plain wrong!
ReplyDeleteLinda Ikeji. You are just a bully! Quit making these silly posts about ibadan people . You don't want to be watching your back every time you visit. We Ibadan people don't play that.
ReplyDeleteDis Linda Ikeji is a confused being. Wen ppl aint goin to d mall u complained nw dey r goin u r stil complainin. In 20yrs tym ur village/ state ll neva b as developed as IB!
ReplyDelete@Onyinx, help me tell Linda o, @Anon 11.31 correct. D last tym I checked,Ib was so kk compared to how Linda viewed it o. I wonder what Ibadan collect 4rm u Linda. Z ur ex 4rm Ib?
ReplyDeleteLinda. You REALLY have to tender an unreserved apology to Ibadan people. Your stupid attempt at a joke on Ibadan people and its way of life is getting on a lot of people's nerves. Why don't you crack the same jokes on your people in your village? Are they any better then Ibadan? You are just ignorant.
ReplyDeleteFinally, Linda u can write this with a straight face. See, Ibadan has a lot of ppl and they are ready to spend money.
ReplyDeleteGood for them.
ReplyDeleteSome people are so dumb. If shoprite is nt making money and people are buying bread as bonario implied, they won't open d biggest shoprite in sub saharan Africa as the 2nd shop rite in ib. Hw many of you people wey dey shout lagos r frm lagos? Wat do u guys av in d village u came frm. Iranu oshi
ReplyDeleteYea my ibadan no dey fall my hand
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time i will comment twice,Like seriously linda you need to stop writing sh*ts about ibadan and fyi ibadan is more peaceful and comfortable than lagos.....i stay in lagos but have live in ibadan before,most of us insist to stay in lagos because of our jobs and i know how difficult it's to wake up 5am and enter 9pm......Life in lagos is too stressful but we couldn't leave
ReplyDeleteThis linda na bigot. She didnt post that its a new mall that was opened just a year after the first o. Now she's tryna hide her hypocrisy with this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd other ignoramuses too that knw nothing about Ib join the charade of folly on twitter and lindablog.
There's money in Ibadan, people aren't flashy with it like Lagos.
ReplyDeleteThere are actually two shoprite stores in Ibadan at the moment.... the recently opened one in Palms Ring Road & the other at Cocoa Mall... which one are you referring to?
ReplyDeleteLinda,u are very foolish and stupid for dis write up.am not from ib but I see myslf as an indigene of ib.ib is a good and cool place to be.pls don't write smtin like dis again if u don't want me to curse you.mtchewww ode**
ReplyDeleteWow nawa oh, Looks like boxing day sale day! Ibadan people i hail o
ReplyDeleteGood for them. I can't understand why they why they use these revolving doors at malls. I went to the one in Ikeja and couldn't stay. It is very unsafe. Imagine an emergency situation where people have to be evacuated asap. Hundreds of people died in South America over such incident. Why not have many automated wide sliding doors that will remain open in an emergency?
ReplyDeleteLinda it's not funny any longer. You conveniently forgot to mention that it's the biggest store in West Africa.
ReplyDeleteIbadan is A city that's bigger than most cities in Nigeria
.Shouldnt common sense have told you that people will troop to shoprite?Most people stayed away cos of the crowd which can be offputting. Go weekday u will meet crowd,Go weekend it's worse.
Now that there are 2 malls maybe the crowd will reduce.
Lead city students handwork
ReplyDeleteLead city students handwork
ReplyDeletenice one
ReplyDeleteI hear the place has become some sort of mecca lol
Linda, don't abuse my people oooo
