Iogobenz: Sundry Foods will never become a Fortune 500 company. Nobody is asking you to cry. I am going to assume you are running a business on the scale of ShopRite. What are you doing differently in your billion naira business that you think ShopRite has failed at? I really don't get the craze for economic nationalism. I want best quality at best price. Whether that is produced by Sundry Foods a Nigerian company, AJ East a Peruvian company or CCH, a Greek company does not matter to me. They all employ Nigerians and profits (which is what these people repatriate) are also repatriated by Nigerian businesses. Are you aware that Dangote is opening a Family Office in New York, dedicating a significant proportion of his wealth (made from Nigeria) to foreign portfolio investments? You talk about FDI putting pressure on the Naira. How are the foreign reserves built? When FDI comes into Nigeria, the funds go to the CBN and they are credited Naira at official rates, that's the only reason they still go back to the CBN when it's time to send back profits. The Chinese and Lebanese Traders in Nigeria change their funds at black market rates and are also perfectly willing to put pressure on the Naira by buying at black market rates when it's time to send money back to their countries. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Cyberknight:No,I meant what I said. We don't need FDIs to come and be selling tissues and tooth paste to us,we can do that. I would be crazy to condemn FDIs channelled to the right direction of need in this our peculiar economic environment. I wouldn't want GE,JB,Chagoury,ABB,Diageo,LVMH,Ricard group etc... and co to leave. But chewing gum FDIs can pack and go ![]() E still dey remain some and they must go still. Nigeria capacity for retail is increasing,competition is getting stiff and the naira is falling so they can't keep up with stiff competition from indeginous retailers because they have to exchange their earned naira for fx while they no longer make much naira profit due to neck stiff price wars,they now opt to leave and spray propaganda garbage stories as reason for their leave. We don't care,pack and go! 11 Likes |

The reason for the great support for economic nationalism is because Nigerian companies are not doing very well abroad. The day will come when Nigeria starts having companies generating serious revenues abroad and then maybe some Nigerians would understand the challenges faced by foreign investors in Nigeria (particularly those who try to at least do the right thing). 2 Likes |

There are legal issues with some of the Nigerian shareholders of the business in Nigeria. ShopRite is only trying to avoid, the cost of $10 million imposed on the core Investor of the company.

I guess AIC is one of the investors that brought them to Nigeria.. I learnt Broll properties is also a major shareholder and the landlord of some of the properties used by ShopRite |

einsteine:You want the best product at the best prices is you being a consumer.That is what consumers do. Have you thought about the economic impact of having people sell tissues and toilet paper to you and then have to repatriate those profits? So if I invest $25m as an FDI through CBN and I stay in Nigeria for 20years and repatriate an equivalent of $200m over that timeframe to my country,would you say Nigeria gained from this deal? Is that not stupidity? Yes consumers will be happy and feeling irate but what happens to your national wealth? That is $200m earned from crude oil being wasted on a bullshit retail company being sent back to oyibo land for $25m investment in the name of profit repatriation and then later you will come and complain that Nigeria don't have light. Where do you want them to get the fx to use to buy the power generating assets from when all of their reserves have almost been depleted by fx repatriation? ![]() Another threat is this nonsense AB-Inbev that came the other day and are already overtaking Nigerian brands.

Iogobenz: Nobody (other than Nigerian policy) stops Nigerian brands from not doing the same. Foreign goods are cheaper and at better quality than Nigerian products. It has become almost stupid to produce in Nigeria as it is more straightforward to import and trade, after all there are Forex subsidies for that. It is not the fault of FDI. Walmart is the third biggest retailer in Brazil. There is nothing wrong in foreign investors investing in retail. Without the PE Firms that pumped in billions of dollars, Nigeria lacked organized retail spaces. 4 Likes |

einsteine:How are Nigerian brands not doing same? Why do you think they are leaving?Don't tell me you bought thesame sales girl story ![]() You should checkout How good NEXT,SUNDRY,EBEANO and co are doing when it comes to pricing. Peter Obi is one of the cheapest shop I know in Nigeria for groceries. Now remember these FDI retailers can't sell as cheap as theur indigenous counterparts cos they have a lot of dollar expenses and profits to be paid in dollars. Now competition has gotten stiff and they are running away. So how is that not local brands doing the same? ![]() Why are they running? ![]() |

Shoprite cannot leave Nigeria now, they have built a strong market influence in Nigeria, but they need some overhaul. I am a bit pleased that Nigerians are beginning to embrace local products, though at a very slow pace. FG should set up a more aggressive campaign for Nigerians to patronise local products, that seem to be the only way out of our economical woes. States/regions should compete on setting up local factories and industries, we know there are challenges, but we all must play our role. Our local market is so big that we don't necessarily need FDI, some FDI could be more of a burden than asset to their host countries. Few years ago, FG wanted to issue a license to foreign flights to operate local in Nigeria, just imagine how devastating that would had been to our economy and indigenous flights today, thank God for Air peace management and other local airlines who stood their ground against the idea to issue license to foreign flights. At the moment, local flights in Nigeria is now one of the best in Africa, some states are even getting ready to launch their own airlines. |

CGTN just carried the news that they are really leaving. Interesting days ahead. How come no one is including the effect of COVID as part of the reasons they may have, as the last straw that broke the camel's back. Donbrig: |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Iogobenz(m): 7:41pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
ojesymsym:Because Covid is temporary and will end someday and the retail industry will bounce back. So why would any sane retailer sell off his business because of a temporar problem? Even clubs and lifestyle inclined businesses that has been shut completely for over 5 months aren't folding up due to covid,so why would retail that was only affected by a negligible percentile fold due to covid? ![]() Now you see why no one talked about the "effects of covid". 2 Likes |

If you think ShopRite is leaving because of theft, I have dollars to sell to you at 800. My girlfriend works with Coldstone and they arrest staff daily for theft related issues, but this business has continually turned in profits back to back, and equally promote the few good staffs accordingly. I'm not saying theft is not an issue, but if Walmart can grow to over 400 stores in Brazil, I don't see why ShopRite will leave over an unfounded 550million bull crap. 4 Likes |

It's not about campaigning to Nigerians to patronize local products, you cannot be telling me to believe in God when you believe in Amadioha, they have to lead by example by using Inosson cars instead of Mercedez Benz or Toyota, they have to patronize Nigerian hospitals instead of going to abroad for treatments, just imagine the number of Nigerians that will go for Innoson car if Buhari starts to use it as his official car today!
