Dont mind the !diot, I was there at shoprite Owerri when it was opened & I was happy despite the fact that I have been to shoprite at Ikeja, Lekki, Polo Park Enugu & the one at Abuja, ofcourse its fun shopping under such atmosphere & Nigeria is a third world country that believe that shoprite is an achievement, Adams Oshomole built a billboard to celebrate them when they came to Benin!!

They carried it on their heads for safety reasons. Carrying your shopping cart in hand is such crowd may leads to theft of your belongings. My opinion

I'm neither yoruba nor Ibo but let's face it, i have never seen anyone in Lagos malls acting like this sha oo.

Haba, this is too much especially when na young people dey carry things for head. I'm sure shoprite ran out of carts due to the crowd.

The thing with Lagos is that na only you go give yourself brain by your self when people look you in a disgusting manner and that is why you barely see things like this.

Imo State na perhaps the leading Educated State in the entire East, so i excepted more but i have so much love for Enugu sha.

Anyways, thank God for Shoprite, e for bad oo! grin grin

That make it even embarrassing because some people there acted as if the items in the mall will finish that same day without the stock being replenished.

Bonaza usually runs through the first week or two.

Actaully, the truth is that in malls bonaza is not possible because they can't give you one for free, unless you are talking about the price. However, the items are already all discounted by price so that will not change even in the first 1 month.



this is to show you how wealthy dis people are,,,,,on like your poverty yoruba brothers and sisters

The way Nigerians carry Shoprite for head is embarrassing, in SA Shoprite is not even among the top 5 choice for shoppers. God help us.

The same way we carry Julius Berger for head.

This is the opening day and there's a bonanza going on so you shouldn't be surprised at the throng and somewhat rowdiness. Its normal for all major business opening to experience an 'invasion'. It's absolutely not a sign of backwardness. These are innocent people who freely came out to show appreciation for the opening of a major mall in their vicinity. The frenzy will ease gradually as the days go by.

You guys really need to snap out of your negative interpretation of anything concerning the igbos and the SE

My friend this is not about tribe because I'm delta Ibo who happens to have a couple of Igbo in-laws and i also speak Ibo too.

you don't get, DO THEY HAVE TO CARRY BASKET ON THEIR HEAD OR SIT ON THE FLOOR?

If someone i know did that where i am i will be embarrassed truth.

This does not say Igbos in general are non-educated.

We all look but see differently. If you look carefully, you'll notice most people are sitting on chairs. And most of the chairs are occupied forcing the others, who are obviously elderly women to rest their tired waist on the floor. Besides, isn't that what you may call FEELING AT HOME since everybody is in a celebratory mood?
And those carrying baskets on their heads were like forced to do so because of lack of space around them or the increasing weight of the basket from their spirited bulk buying. Please allow these people express their joy and appreciation freely

What he told you is fact! It is all over the internet on google, wikipedia et al, so why dont you stop being lazy & do a little research on internet since its obvious that you have access to it & cure yourself of generational ignorance! Igbos along with the Chinese, Jews & Germans have been classified as more advanced in intellect, IQ, genius in all human endeavor than all other races. This is not fiction neither is it thesis but facts that have been verified by many historians, psychologists & scientists. I'm sorry cos I know how frustrating it could be that your adversary is superior to you.

Your warped opinion count for nothing in my reckoning grin
I only read this kind of opinion on NL, where you are faceless, bring this bragging to FB or Twitter and see how Nigerians will tear you into shreds ;Meanwhile why are those women spreading legs apart as if they are doing traditional Igbo mourning

Even though you don't deserve my response...you write so locally; uncivilized manner! I'll excuse you because you are Yoruba and expected!

Let's put the facts out...because you people are kingpin of propaganda!

1. The most educated ethnic group today in Nigeria is the Igbos...statistics say so not me! They lead in every measure of educational success; even simple Common Entrance of kids under 10 yrs old...they lead by wide margin!
2. When colonial whites arrived present-day Nigeria, they described the Igbos as " well civilized" and yorubas as "barbaric". I'm not making these up...these facts are well documented in many colonial books. Google is your friend!

Finally, Igbos are not yoruba mates...at all! Igbos are a superior race; only African race ever mentioned along side Jews, Germans, Japanese and Chinese as superior races!

bros you no talk of allocation....refer to February allocation from federal govt....d minus Lagos..d southeast state collected more than any other southwest state.,..even ebony had 2.6million... while Ogun ondo osun had below 2million

Bro...i hate commenting on issues such as this especially when such issue deals with tribe. What you don't understand is that Lagos is ahead of other states in Nigeria, yes, that is a fact. It is like this becus of so many factors, so bragging wit life in Lagos is nothing but low mentality in the highest order. Saying u av not seen Lagos shoppers acting this strange is low mentality too. Don't compare Lagos civilization with that of IMO state. U should have come to see how Yoruba ppl acted when Ibadan shoprite opened for bonanza! I wept becus Nigerians disgraced me. I just don't get it. The person that started this useless issue is the guy who insulted the igbo tribe and was claiming that lagos is London, not really u. But we need to understand something, Lagos is far behind when you compare it with other cities in the world with such opportunities. Everyone developed Lagos and not really yoruba pple who are naturally lazy. There are dam local pple in Lagos....so local bro. Most Lagos lacal people dey annoy me and disgrace my identity as a Nigerian. When you want to compare states, take Lagos aside becus most investments in the country go there and yet the level of civilization and development is still very low. Other states are still struggling to meet up and we must encourage them to do better. You see, I witnessed the same scenario in Ibadan and I wept. Even some times when I visit Ibadan, the way the locals shop there wanna make me cry. Fact remains that most Yoruba locals are dam local and very annoying. I travel a lot and once I get to Ondo state, the villages and the level of local behaviour I see usually produce frowns all over my face. This is not hating..yorubas are dam local and can't be compared with igbos at all. Go to villages in the East and see how wise and civilized they are. I work in a place where we get to meet and hear from people living in damned communities and I confessed that illetracy level is high in Nigeria, the worst and most embarrassing behaviour comes from Yoruba people...
Please, dear Yoruba people, Lagos is not the only Yoruba state in Nigeria...when you wanna talk about your states, pls, talk about Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti etc...those places are made up of people who are dam local...I hear from them. With the level of opportunities in Yoruba land due to Lagos state, all Yoruba states should have developed at least to the level of Lagos but they can't even compete with most other states (it is a shame)...I give it to Eastern states, even with low level of opportunities there, the people still got to their current level which is commendable.
U guys should stop this nonsense tribal war...Nigeria generally is backward...simple! Wake up please.

Well after that opening day, the daily crowd will thin out, Ibos generally by nature are not mall goers, they still prefer their mama Nkechi and papa Chidima local stores. Ibos are still primitive when it comes to shopping in malls grin they are still pretty much copying the SW.
You will only see reasonable crowd during Xmas and New Years for those returning from Lagos grin

You are ignorant dude, an average Igbo person in Owerri or Enugu is far more civilized than an average yoruba person in Ibadan or Oshogbo, stop using Lagos as yardstick, its a former federal capital & "a no mans land" with its cosmopolitan nature. The first & last time I was at Ibadan, believe me I was disgusted & ashamed at the kind of medieval pigsty houses your folks were living in, the rickety buses, people going to work with chewing stick in their mouths, fat & dirty looking women wearing bras openly, dingy looking men with scars all over their faces & it seemed they use crude oil as cream! Many of them could not even express themselves in pidgin English, when speak English they reply in yoruba & the next thing they start cursing. Despite the influence of Lagos, SW is a very archaic region & thats a fact!!!
