My overall experience was uncomfortable, I like to shop in very comfy environment but I didn't get that yesterday.

My verdict...I won't be attending any grand opening in hurry, be it shoprite or any other.

I actually expected some freebies or some price slashes but things remain same but I overheard people saying that the drinks were cheaper, I didn't have opportunity to check it out because of the massive crowd.

Finally out.. Beautiful scenery on the outside, eating and relaxation spot

Another crowd at PEP, they have some serious promotion going on

Shoprite famous puff puff is available

Shopping baskets in the air

Next batch waiting to shop

Waiting

Checking out was not easy too, I spent another 30 minutes , all the checking points were so busy , trolleys everywhere with loads and loads of goods

Inside was so tight, I could hardly move around freely without bumping into human beings, shopping trolleys and children etc

Amazing . Finally doors were opened

The first barricade, I was lucky to through the first one, I am just waiting for the doors to be opened again

The crowd filled the entire shoprite that it's doors has to be shut to customers and also there was another barricade of trolleys stopping more customers from entering, I was scared there might be a stampede but thankfully none happened during my brief visit, I stood for like 20 minutes before they doors were opened again, see mad rush

I was taken aback by the surge of crowd, I wasn't expecting this because of the location and I am sure the staffs too didn't expect it either

There has been so much buzz about the opening of the 24th shoprite outlet in Nigeria and this one happens to be located along the airport road, Abuja.

I always there on my way home and I have watched with keen interest how fast the structure was raised and to my pleasant surprise the opening happens to be today 30th November, 2017. I promised myself I won't miss it as I have never witnessed first hand any of shoprite opening in Abuja, (I think this should be their fourth outlet in Abuja, I am not sure, I know of Apo, Jabi mall and silverbird )

I was taken aback by the massive crowd, starting from the car entrance, so much cars parked everywhere., I was scared that the parking lot was already filled but not so, as we were directed inside to park properly. I guess people abandoned their cars for fear of getting space to park.


***Mods, I don't know if this is in the right thread, kindly move it in case I am wrong

Toks2008:
Well many people may not know but I am an E-commerce consultant and my job is to scrutinize businesses that are online oriented and tell people which is a sustainable one or not and just as I warned about MMM as not sustainable about a year ago, I am coming out this time to state the red flags in swiss golden Nigeria.

I will not bore you with stories and I wouldn't be writing this today if the of a certain wattsup group with number +234 706 258 5988 did not evict me simply because according to him,I am spoiling his business (whatever that means) but all I did was simply professional trying to point out the red flags in the business when he ought to be simply professional by explaining to me.

Now get this clear, I believe in network marketing and I am not calling swizz golden a scam but what I am simply pointing out is that the earning structure is very faulty,unrealistic and unstainable.

Now the business module insists that you MUST refer 2 people and in fact you will not progress if a cycle is not complete and it takes 7 people(You inclusive) to cycle and according to the structure, once you earn, you start another cycle with your downlines following you if they also cycle and this goes on and on and on.....but what many fail to understand is that for this to happen,everyone who s MUST sign up 2 people meaning the matrix must be filled up for the system to be sustained...in other words, the downlines structure must be in this format. ..

You
2 downlines
4 downlines
One cycle

Now for your two downlines to cycle there will be need for continuity meaning

Your 2 downlines
4 downlines
8 downlines
your 2 downlines achieves a cycle

your 4 downlines of your immediate 2 will need

4 downlines
16 downlines
32 downlines
the 4 downlines above cycles.

Now here is the glitch....for you to make a second cycle,you will not be needing just 7 people but

you
2
people
4
8
16
32


Meaning you will need 64 people to under you.

Now it is not the 62 that is the problem but the fact that everyone MUST sign up 2 people who MUST sign up another 2 in other to sustain the business.

Invariably it means the business must have an arithmetic progression of a multiple of 2...

2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
and on and on....

In my years as a consultant,I have never seen a matrix filled up meaning there is no way that arithmetic progression can be achieved which simply means the earning structure only gives room for the early starters which is also a red flag.

Some will say team work will ensure you get 2 downlines but no team work can sustain the matrix at a stage when it becomes so large.

I do believe that if the of swizz golden Nigeria can go back to the drawing board and bring out a sustainable earning structure, the business might just stand the test of time.

A good earning structure of any network must not favor early starters but hard workers and must give room for participants to earn even if they only refer on person.

I want intelligent contributors to prove me wrong.

Thanks

Nice write up, please can scrutinize longrich for me

Ralphlauren:
Jidenna. The "one hit wonder" and "white man" wannabe from eastern nigeria.

When is he going to stop applying "relaxer" on his hair and beards and sleeking his hair down with hair gel

It looks like he even rolls the hair with hair rollers for women and applies setting lotion and pink oil

When is he going to auto dyeing his hair oxblood or is it auburn ?

Why is he ashamed of his black hair/Afro.

This is an example of pure undiluted 'beef'

Bros why na

@ OP Please modify your post you copied and pasted it twice.

Please always use paragraphs to make your post easy to read.

Finally, don't let the suit stop you, ignore the uncle as it is not everyone in the family that is happy for your woman.
If you love her, suit is just a small obstacle, just work on how you would finance the list....that should be your focus since they have given you the list.

Congrats! You Africans look younger than your Indian colleagues or is it the beards
