Samples from where?

What company is trying to open a factory and is producing samples...but doesn't have a website, or social media presence?

Can you show us where Comfort Stevens Industries is located anywhere in the world? Or is it a win simply because Alex Otti of Labour Party took pictures with an importer of dagbo Chinese shoes?

If they want to have a production facility in Aba, isn't it a good thing. From importing their products to actually manufacturing them here. They're targeting December to commission the factory sef.

assembled in china, branded in nigeria

Comfort Stevens Industries " a collaboration between US, Chinese, and Brazilian companies' and a 'foreign footwear giant' has no online footprint beyond the news articles

https://www.google.com/search?q=Comfort+Stevens+Industries+

this reminds me of one time when we were buying some UPS sold in nigeria and i decided to do research on if they had UL rating. [most of these sensitve oyibo equipment come with warnings that warranty will not be honoured in the event of power issues] .dead end. a large number of products sold in nigeria simply do not actually exist in the real world. you will learn that quickly if you are trying to source oem spares by yourself or confirm their origin for documentation purposes.

to be fair na the same format cosmas maduka ran back in the day. he used the name coscharis, which sounded foreign and bamboozled the govt officials at the time.

What I asked is where Comfort Stevens Industries office is. The article you posted described them as a shoemaker...well, where do they you know...make shoes? grin

These niggas are not opening any stupid factory in Nigeria. A Chinese dagbo merchant is looking to come and build a sweatshop here to build dagbo shoes with slave labour, and they found a connect to governor to get cheap land and protection...most likely in return for kickbacks.

That's why I said you might not be aware of Temu.

BTW, I also won't be surprised if the business turns out to be a front for something more lucrative...like the drug trade

There's no local market for Aba-made shoes that would justify foreign investment in a facility that aims to produce 15k shoes a day.

Which probably some way to explaining why we can't see evidence of comfort stevens have facilities to produce even a shoe a day.

i want to disagree with you - but wetin fully industrialized brazilian and chinese dey find for naija, when it is far cheaper and simpler for them to make shoes in their own country? manufacturing moves to where it is cheaper.

How is the midfield weak? Who do you think should have made it that didn't?

Toney is pretty much our best penalty taker so He was always going to go. Also He plays better for the 3 lions than Ollie Watkins for example.

Nothing is cast in law it depends on how he argues his case

The dead man threw a punch at him and he can claim he feared for his life

In the case of OJ Simpson and Trayvon Martin that was where I knew anyone can get away with anything as long as you argue it
Only a terrible lawyer will lose this kin case. I can clearly see him loading up his gun right before the argument started right beside the truck. Then when you consider how many times he shot. Only a police officer can get away with that kin murder.

Put me there I can prove the murder is premeditated sef

You are right about MAGA, the hype went to TROG another Trump memecoin though I believe MAGA will still go back up and reach new ATH.

Meanwhile buy some NOT and leave somewhere, that coin will cook and will get to $1. You'll just be patient.

Unless mainoo or the palace guy start ahead of Arnold the midfield is weak
You can't have Rice, Arnold and Bellingham in the midfield against teams like Portugal, Germany and France they will beat craze out of them

In most of these things.....our mega marts make as much as 80% in profit per item.

On my birthday around 2017 or 2018 ( I can’t remember the exact year again ). One of our vendors gifted me a nice OUD perfume(The kinda perfume that announces ur arrival without people seeing u) . After I finished that particular perfume that was gifted me , I decided to adopt it as my personal smell and started buying it for my use.

I started buying for 7,500 that time .The last time I bought it around April this year , the price is now 28,500. 🀯

Harry Kane's conversion rate is 87% while Toney is at 94%. Kane has taken far more penalties than Toney though, so Toney's conversion might diminish a little if he had to take as many as Kane. They are both excellent penalty takers though, with conversion rates well above average.

It will definitely run once attention returns to it. We buy when no one is buying and sell when they start buying.

If I must buy NOT, it will have to pull back significantly. Once I've missed a runner, I don't chase it.

He could be very right.

One of the strategies of those businesses is to commit a huge financial base to a product, and they get a much lower cost price. That way, a 100% profit would not even show to the consumer

Shoprite can pay for 10 million bottles of Coke. NBC may decide to sell for them at 1 naira per bottle. If they sell it at 30 naira, you would think it is cheap. But they cashed out well.

The ambience, their properties, structures, services, insurance, marketing...Do you really think it is 30 naira profit that is taking care of it?

What you call cheap as a customer, could be something the seller got a 300% profit from

What u described here is totally different from what he claimed in his post.

He claimed mega marts buy items and add 80% profit margins on it thereby making the product expensive unnecessarily to the final consumer .

Now what u explained up there is mega marts leveraging on economies of scale. They negotiate with producers to sell to them at a cheaper price because they are buying in large quantities so they can sell at almost same price with other wholesalers/retailers . The mart has not done any wrong doing this . In fact it is a commensalism relationship between the producer and the mart . Neither is the final consumer suffering by paying a higher price .

He alluded that mega marts deliberately hike prices and I’m asking him to show such instances and maybe mention such products he thinks they do that on
