| Customers scrambling for goods on a Tuesday morning in Enugu Shoprite |
Ever since the amiable governor of Enugu State,
Sullivan Chime converted the popular Polo Park at GRA, Enugu, into a shopping
mall, with a South African retailer and fast food Company, Shoprite, occupying
a strategic unit there, there have been a wide frenzy among the indigenes as
the mall has literary been turned into a Mecca of sort.

| Enugu Shoprite on a Tuesday Morning |
Unlike in major cities of Nigeria, where shopping
are mostly done during weekends and outside working hours, that of Enugu is always
filled up with customers both on working days and on working hours including those
who just came for sightseeing …lol.
Feelers believe that the reason is because Shoprite
is the only visible shopping mall in Enugu unlike what is obtainable in Lagos
and Abuja. But I don’t think so as the recently opened Shoprite in Ibadan has
reportedly been hit with low patronage with Ibadan indigenes going back to
their conventional markets.
The attraction of the Enugu Shoprite has, however, made
some women to be wearing all manner of skimpy dresses and bikinis, made only
for beach, to the place apparently to get patronage from the men folks; leaving
some visitors wondering if the place is really a mall or a night club.
