swiz123: At the risk of coming off as ignorant, my question would be to ask if most of these businesses run as a cartel?. I see this complaint a lot but simple economics tells me its something that is easily solved by competitive markets. Ideally most of these goods are price elastic. Strange that these sellers who are also meant to be feeling the impact aren't adjusting. Something is not adding up |

User09: Its greed and wickedness. Simple and short. Let me give you 2 examples of this greed. I wanted to buy Oral b toothpaste from the woman selling groceries very close to where I live, she didnt have the big one so I asked which size they had, it was the smallest so I told her to bring it. She told me the price was 650 and all I could say was Ah? For the smallest oral b? She gave all their normal excuses. That same day, I went to a supermarket around my area, I normally dont go to that supermarket because their things are expensive but I needed to get a baby item that I could only get there. I went to the toothpaste stand, saw that they are selling the same oral b I bought in the morning for 400 and that lady sold it to me 650. Just imagine the difference, and that's a supermarket that we usually say their things are expensive o. Second one is pure water, before we were buying a bag of water at 250 per bag and retailers were selling 1 for 20 naira. On a bag, they will see a profit of 150. 2 weeks ago, pure water from company trucks were increased to 340 per bag and 70% of the people in my area (who were mostly Yorubas) started selling one pure water for 50 naira. Meaning on a bag, they will see a profit of 660. Even the company that are producing the water are not making a profit of 660 per bag. It is mostly the Abokis that are selling pure water 2 for 50 naira, which means on a bag, they make a profit of 160. Our people are just too wicked, selfish and greedy. When I come online and see people defending these people, I just laugh and shake my head. 1 Like |

larride: I see. The good old "Information asymmetry". Well buyers need to take matters into their hands and start looking at other (competitive) markets. Also maybe consumer protection agencies need to step in at this point |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 4:44am On Mar 28 |
swiz123: I'm not justifying anything . All I told u up there is that supermarkets get their supplies directly from the producer or their major distributor at ex-factory price and they sell their stock out faster cos they have people patronising them on a regular basis . So it's possible for them to have adjusted their retail price to reflect the reduction in price effected by indomie . Retailer on the other hand buy from wholesalers who may have stock up in large quantity while the price was high and u won't see them reduce the price until the wholesaler restock at the new reduced price . Now I'm not ruling out the possibility that some retailers may still want to cash-in on the whole thing to make exorbitant profit; but I'm only telling u that a retailer do not directly control the price as much as the suoearket does. As regards the fouani matter , it appears we were discussing 2 different things. Somehow I missed it point on that. |

Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 5:06am On Mar 28 |
[quote author=enigma0 post=129143650][/quote] The problem is u guys are looking at these things from the viewpoint of the cost price of the product itself alone . Well, I don't know how much they sell pure water and coke from factory now but I know certainly that the prices increased due to increase in cost of production majorly the polythyne and PET bottle used for their packaging ( I know these things cos I have access to the prices of raw.materials of these items in Naira last year and this year ) It's a given that typical Nigerian retailer while adjusting their selling price due to increase in cost price would always look for ways to make more profit since they know the reipple effect of the hike in price will affect other essential commodities they will be buying themselves . U should also consider that those selling in traffick have to ice the drinks either by buying ice block or buying already iced drinks which they will add their own profit margin o. And he icing cost follows diesel price since electricity has been poor recently nationwide |

BlueRayDick: Initially, I thought you are an abrodian. If you are in Nigeria, you should know how retailers operate. While supermarkets rely on making huge turnover daily, retail shops rely on strangling their customers and using emotional blackmail to attack them when they stop buying. In 2022, a pack of fearless energy drink was sold 1,800 at wholesale price. Cost price was 150, so while Supermarkets sold 170 per one, retail shops sold 250 per one. Shockingly, the wholesaler who invested millions in his business makes 20 to 30 naira profit on a pack of drink. He supplies to these retail shops hoping that those one will add a reasonable profit margin and sell off quickly so that he can supply again to them as he relies on making bulk sells to get by. These retailers add stupid profit margin, then take ages to finish selling while the producer and wholesaler suffers. Another example, a friend who makes and supplies duvets to his customers in Enugu told me that those retailers took ages to finish selling his duvets. He had to go there to find out what was happening. He realized that after selling to them at 12,800 per one, those thieves were selling between 26 to 28k per one. He had to rent 2 shops in the same market, employed a sales girl and sold himself at 15k per one. They have been fighting him ever since. This is exactly what these retailers do to producers in Nigeria and we can't progress as a nation until all of them are closed down completely to give way for organized retailing. 1 Like |

Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 8:11am On Mar 28 |
swiz123: I get u. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of these retailers because there are so many spaces the organized retailing arrangement cannot reach. If u don't live in a major city in this country where u have superstores like shoprite, spar, jendol, justrite, Grocery Bazaar, Globus, Blenco, and other new ones, u will have no choice but to buy from those retailers. I am based in Lagos and I buy from some of these retailers too when I don't have a choice due to circumstances. There's little consumer protection can do sef cos they will be spread thin to even cover one Local government. One thing I believe is that if this reduction in naira-to-dollar exchange rate is sustained over time, the retailers, wholesalers, distributors and producers will have no choice but to lower their prices. Let's hope that happens for real |

BlueRayDick:And it won't be as if you ate anything. Cooking is still better IMHO. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 8:28am On Mar 28 |
Odunharry: That's the crazy stuff about the whole thing . The food is small and u are not sure of the hygienic conditions of the food processing . Cooking at home too is now expensive when u consider the cost of cooking gas , meat and cooking ingredients . But when u think about hygiene ; cooking at home makes more sense |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by User09: 8:32am On Mar 28 |
swiz123: Well, they're also losing out given the declining sales/volumes per the bolded. They're probably just ignorant to not see the impact on their businesses. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by swiz123(m): 8:36am On Mar 28 |
BlueRayDick: Reduction from in dollar value from 1800 to 1300 is huge and it didn't happen overnight. It happened over a sustained period of 1 month. This is enough time to see positive changes, instead, prices are increasing. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Odunharry(m): 8:37am On Mar 28 |
BlueRayDick:Cooking at home still make sense economic wise. You get to eat as much as possible and not as if you fill the gas everyday,buy ingredient or meat everytime. 1 Like |
