And we were like every other middle class family around .

1 Walmart will create jobs for local youth
2 pay more taxes
3 source products directly from manufacturer and cutting out the numerous middlemen
4 cheaper .
5Raise the profile of the southwest
6 farmers will benefit from direct relationships
7 Hopefully stop all those rural / urban migration of unskilled people and farmers .

If Buhari gets it right and the economy kicks into gear , then 4x 4 are sitting ducks .

kenonze:



How?
Explains better pls.

Agimor:
This is a welcome development Walmart is the largest emplooyer of labour in the world.

Thousands of small business owners have seen their dreams of being successful entrepreneurs destroyed by the opening of Wal-Mart in their area. Small businesses are not afforded the same discounts by wholesale providers as those given to major corporations because the smaller business cannot buy the massive quantities that companies like Wal-Mart can. Therefore, they must charge higher prices for the same product thus losing patronage.

Walmarts quest for low cost and price is making the company to pay least wages to its workers.infact majority of Walmarts staffs are dependent on government welfare because their wages cannot sustain them,what this implies is that the government is indirectly granting subsidies to walmart even though the company is not owned by the government.
It has team of tax consultants that exploit loopholes in the tax system to make the company pay low taxes.

Walmart is predatory. It gobbles mom and pop shops and run competitors out of business by use of economics of scale in its purchases.the company determines prices that suppliers will receive on the products supplied.if a supplier refuses,walmart makes generic brands,this has bankrupted many walmart suppliers or made them earn very little profit from the company.

This is terrible

What will happen to Konga, Jumia, Growing Prince Ebeano, Blenco in Ajah etc.

Why are our leaders so visionless?

Nigeria neither has a welfare support for their low income citizens nor is our Labour Union working yet Ambode wants to bring another cutthroat with all the demonic Chinese and Lebanese factories we have around.

O lord, save our land and our youths.

owobokiri:
The Chinese produces the goods and wholesale them here these days because our immigration department gives every chinese, lebanese and indian a free pass. . Then walmart retails . . All are foreigners. Meanwhile, our politicians claiming to be working hard to create jobs for the people sit aside and clap. The retail sector is most probably the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria yet there they are, applauding. When we decimate the economic circumstances of hard working Nigerian traders through some of these bizare policies, maybe because we feel disconnected from 'those' that we, in our petty thinking, presume to be the biggest beneficiaries of the retail trade in Nigeria, we will only see more sophisticated criminal acts in this country. Why? Nobody will sit at home and die. If the government can't protect her citizens legitiimate sources of income, obviously, the citizen would be left with no other option than to 'survive at all costs'.

Walmart is a cut-throat capitalism and it's harmful to any city that it goes into.people may get low prices of goods, but when you calculate the total cost of having walmart in your city or state you'd find that it's harmful.Lagos state shouldn't allow this predatory juggernaut into Lagos state.it will kill local businesses.

Qualer:


Wrong! Go and ask the same Walmart if they were allowed in South Africa a couple of years ago (2012). The SA government didn't want them because they were going to be competition for there local brands (Shoprite, Game, Clicks etc.). These are the same brands that the SA chamber of commerce is using to make in-roads throughout west and central africa as export channels for their locally manufactured products. The summary is that Walmart was finally bullied into investing in a local SA brand chain.

Now look at the dumb Nigerian government, the same shoprite came and is infiltrating every nook and cranny with their imports and nobody in government is any wiser. If they want walmart in the country, they should make them invest/partner in/with a local brand instead.

Wise administrations do NOT allow big brands to come into their countries and take away their revenue. Walmart is operating in the UK but as ASDA - a localised brand. Which means all the revenue stays in the UK. That is wisdom, not exhibiting lower class ignorance while thinking - we are bringing foreign investment - that's nonsense at best.

The Nigerian government should wake up and stop this inferiority complex and playing into the hand of big business indirect neo-colonisation!!!!! My two kobo!!

ISpiksDaTroof:
Walmart kills small and medium scale retail businesses where ever it goes.

Take a quick guess why New York City with almost 10 million people doesn't have a single Walmart.

When will Nigerians start creating such businesses without having to wait for for foreign investors to take away all the money

sunsewa:

even in China that mostly abhors foreign packaged stuffs,has numerous superstores in China,like French carrefour, lotus,Walmart competing with their local stores that don't have full foreign items like fresh Titus fish sold in carrefour can't be seen in chinese market or departmental stores,also Lipton and sardines and other stuffs,same things is applicable to Walmart in Nigeria, u get stuffs in Europewalmarts in Nigeriawalmarts that u can't see elsewhere.

Walmart is world brand that is seen in developed countries with purchasing power,its a privilege to have them here,one of the indicators of development, even in China that mostly abhors foreign packaged stuffs,has numerous superstores in China,like French carrefour, lotus,Walmart competing with their local stores that don't have full foreign items like fresh Titus fish sold in carrefour can't be seen in chinese market or departmental stores,also Lipton and sardines and other stuffs,same things is applicable to Walmart in Nigeria, u get stuffs in Europewalmarts in Nigeriawalmarts that u can't see elsewhere.

Well,my suggestion will be for the Lagos government to allocate land in the outskirts,very far from the city,maybe after Ajah/Epe or so(moreover it's only such areas you can still find such massive expanse of land to conveniently accommodate them in Lagos)that way by the time lagosians consider travel cost,travel time and huge inconvenience to the walmart,they'll find their local stores actually cheaper and rather continue 'jeje' with them.

mmsen:


There are Nigerian supermarkets all over the place but no one wants to make noise about them, especially as many are Igbo owned.

It's when the oyinbo come and promise something for nothing that clueless Nigerians get excited.

Jencejyde:
Finally a thread where constructive criticism and display of intellectual wits abound. Reminds me of Nairaland back in the days.

I will just sit back, relax and follow...very interesting debates going on here..

Eillo:


please, will you stop this tribalism and nonsense talk? Its really irritating. Cant you just be rational in your comments? Must everything boil down to Igbo vs the-rest-of-Nigeria? Its disgusting!

mmsen:


Who is guilty of 'tribalism' here?

Are you denying that there is a problem in Nigeria? Or have you forgotten the silly protest in Lagos earlier this year? The stupid comments from the royal idiot? Or the everyday comments that you hear in passing about Igbos?

The fact is there are people engaged in commerce in Nigeria, in a big way, doing so honestly but many would prefer to overlook their hard work - why is that?
