Nice view point but you seem quite vile. Most companies in Nigeria would rather pay 40% tax and have these services provided for them i.e security, good roads, power, water etc. It saves any business owner the mental strain of having to deal with these. All that business owners are asking for is that the govt provides the enabling environment. Everyone deserves a good wage and 15k is not a good wage by any stretch but that was not my point. With an enabling environment there are more employment opportunities and more goods in circulation to counter inflation. I reiterate that a country that is open for business only 10 hours a day or less( i.e that has not provided the enabling environment like power, water, security etc for businesses that want to stay open longer) would never beat inflation.

I didn't say protest,
I said don't buy expensive goods and opt for cheaper alternatives,anytime a company gets greedy thinking people can't live without their finished product.
Protest will achieve nothing in this case ,just show them you can do without them and they'll look for ways to bring down price on their own.

SeaTrade:
Nigeria is the only country in the world where a product will jump in price by 50% and sales of that product won't change.

It has made corporations greedy and they milk Nigerians with reckless abandon at the slightest opportunity.

Why can't people just boycott those greedy brands,move to cheaper ones and let it sink in the heads of this corporations that no brand is too big to fail,irrespective of product or distribution network.

As someone that has travelled a lot around Africa,I can boast that Nigeria is the only place where this happens and consumers will show vulnerability and dependency by simply continuing patronage and showing these people that "we don't have a choice".
This is a very wrong message to pass,make una try wise up abeg.

Brand loyalty is a daft thing to do cos you would be taken advantage of by oligarchs.
I drop my pen.

This needs to get to front page let's discuss more on this.

Cromagnon:
and what has changed

SeaTrade:
There are a lot of alternatives,people just don't buy them.
Whoever is saying that alternatives aren't there isn't being honest or market savvy.
Except for some select services and products like transport,energy,etc,most consumables have lots of cheaper alternatives in the markets that Nigerians are very adamant on not buying even though they're cheaper.

Bigchristo:
That's because we Nigerians lack cooperation to speak in one vice and protest against any kind of extortion, so many of us are too proud to show they can afford it but dying in silent, Imagine the rise in cooking gas supposed to trigger serious protest if we live in a country were people corporate to voice out their grievances.

FreelanceRebel:


I mean alternative products with competitive price, I have not seen any. Maybe you can give me an example

budweiser now N600 ,hero remains 300 retail.

bigpicture001:
Money want to kee my gf ok.. just because she chose to do the right thing and reduce her profiteering in her medical lab field...

She lowered the cost of her diagnosis by almost half.. e g.. everyone does malaria and thyphiod for 1500, sh does for 700.. her pregnancy test is just 500 and full blood count etc all is very cheap..

You might think she doesn't gain.. now her place is like the full community government lab.. she takes home a minimum 70k daily.. while all our other labs takes less than 20k home daily..

Just try to be different from The excess profiteering gang whilst still being on profit... She is just 27 and is worth about 21 million... Use ur brain.. don't join the train

FreelanceRebel:


You ehn. Very funny.
But hero is not a small business na, and not everybody drink na

einsteine:


I am sure there is a lab cartel and they are not yet aware of her. They would soon come and shut her down. Nigeria needs to have a competition commission to stop trade associations from fixing prices. Businesses should be allowed to compete on price.

IAMPEDRO:
How do we go about bread and gas?

WHITELIGHTER:
Is there alternative to bread... because it's now 800 here, used to be 250

MartinsD12:

It's simply because we don't have a working government in place to regulate the prices of goods, imagine romoss sense 6 plus power bank I bought last three months for 10k I went back to buy another romoss sense 6ps plus only to buy it N14,500 although this particular one has led percentage display I know the price is too much like N2000 profit for the seller and our naira is too helping matters, our business men too will seize every dollar price hike to add money on their goods anyhow they want.
