Nigerian Spar reminds me of the grocery (market) store here in the United States.
Hello from California ❤❤❤❤❤
Love your videos
Thank you so much for watching i truely appreciate.
I really enjoyed your in-depth analysis of the items on the shelf in Spar Supermarket.
@Daddychef1000 🙏
Spar a s.african retail store.they are expanding to other african countries.
@sydneymaseda613 yeah we do have them in Cameroon
The sky is big enough for every bird to fly.
Indeed
Nice one!❤Cameronians are our closest relatives,don't mind those colonials that separated us and gave us borders and names..You are welcome to anywhere in Nigeria any day,anytime.Greetings from England.Cheers.
Thank you so much. Truely if not for colonial masters, the english part of Cameroon was to be part of Nigeria but they tricked us to sign something else on papers. Regardless i still felt so mich at home in Nigeria.
You are so right my sister. We love Nigerians love Cameroon girls so much that we marry them..m
@user-ik3pp2go4s Yeah alot of Nigerians living in Cameroon have married Cameroonians.
We have hot peppers in Nigeria, but we are just a people that love varieties, so see your Cameroon pepper as one of those that Nigeria like to try.🇳🇬🌿
Oh nice
By the way, here is another info for U. A lot of Nigerians don't know that the pepper that they call Cameroon Pepper mostly come from the cooler part of Nigeria. Mambila plateau of Nigeria shares the same kinds of farm produce with the cooler part of Cameroon. So, wen U see the pepper in Nigeria, it doesn't necessarily mean that it came from Cameroon. Due to Nigeria's size, sometimes Nigerians don't know what is coming from their country. The red beans that U didn't see in the store is the favorite beans in Taraba state! They grow it. They eat it! 👍🏾
@ayankunleakanbi1650 oh wow interesting.
Hello Carol,
Hope you’re having an over-the-top kind of experience. Once again, you exceeded my expectations, not only with your immaculate attention to detail in your presentation, ingenuity, creativity, and marketability,but also with the subtle contrasts, that you drew with the Cameroonian perspective. I must admit that the degree of economic empowerment, self reliance, and entrepreneurial skills that the Nigerians exhibit is simply awe-inspiring!
Even in the height of their imperfections, arguably, they have mastered the rudimentary and ubiquitous wisdom that businesses is very competitive, and that investing on road infrastructure, to link goods and services to prospective consumers, as well as, daring to be adventurous and take risks by not only paying attention to captivating packaging, but by also exceeding expectations in customer service, actually pays off big dividends.
It is so much fun 🤩 to vicariously witness this sequence of captivating and phenomenal experiences through your very meticulous eyes.
It’s like virtual reality coming alive through your eyes, Carol!
Awesome 🤩 Carol, you outperformed once again!!
Stay Blessed, my friend!

You have said it all my friend. Nigerian with all their numerous problems, their economic empowerment skills is still over the top. They are so business conscious and it's working for them. They equally have the population to consume all the goods and services they produce. Thank you so much my friend for this contribution.
Branding is the way to go.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is the most industrialized country in West and Central Africa. And one of the most industrialized in Africa.
That's the reason you see all these products.
the biggest Spar store in west africa if not africa as a whole is in lekki lagos. great job sis
Oh really, i would definately love to visit it on my next trip.
Most of these stuffs are produced in Nigeria.
Yeah, you guys are so industrious. I love that aspect so much.
Cameroon part that speaks English are Nigeria stolen by France...

And no, I am not affiliated to @martinisaiahorume9694. Keep up the good work. 🇳🇬🇨🇲
Thank you so much🙏
Very impressed with the branding Nigerians do.
Their buildings down to the products in the supermarket
They have understood the assignment of branding well well. They don't joke with their products.
Nigeria is a big market
@abasssanusi3348 a very big one.
As a Nigerian leaving in Italy, i just noticed your channel and sub immediately

Thank you so much.
The store is set up almost exactly like an American supermarket.
Oh really, that's interesting to know.
Or just like ‘a supermarket’ as most supermarkets around the world look like this.
We use cameroon pepper for it's aroma not it hotness. Pepper dey wia dey hot like hell fire for Nigeria.
Miango pepper
Smirnoff is a Guinness product which is an international brand, so it wasn't stolen from Cameroon
I didn't even think it was stolen from Cameroon because Nigeria sure has more flavours than we have in Cameroon. But thank you for that information.
@@elomocaroltv Cameroon definitely copied Nigeria and Nigeria pepper is very hot. That's what I use ..I don't even use Cameroon pepper and I know many people who don't use Cameroon pepper .
@@karine-elaactually Cameroon pepper is highly celebrated for its taste and heat. Nigerians celebrated it.
@IamGodSon 🙏
@@IamGodSon ...you sabi.
A new subscriber that hv bn sharing ur content a Nigerian from New Jersey
Thank you so much.
As a Nigerian, Cameron pepper is not hot, I just like the taste it gives soups, I add red pepper called Ata rodo in yoruba language for hotness
Oh ok nice.
Anything produced in Nigeria goes through NAFDAC before existing it. So we are producing more instead of importing.
First time I’ve heard Nescafé being pronounced the way you said Nigerians pronounce it. 😄
I actually pronounce it the way you do. Nigeria is big anyway so there’s a lot of variations in the way we speak and pronounce things. 😊
Nigeria is truely big. My Nigerian friends pronounce it the other way oh😂😂😂
Love your video. Give us more Nigerian content
🙏
Thank you for talking me round
This secret came fr Jamaica 🇯🇲😁u can look up who brought bread and founded agege bread Nigeria
Oh really, meaning Jamiaca should have qonderful bread. Can't wait to try it out.
You're right 👍
But Nigerians have added their own twist to make it ‘Agege bread.’
When Nigeria is producing cars and busses now just ordinary drinks which just small boy can produce then you are surprised. Forget us for innovations o,
Nigerians love goat meat , just a few individuals in Cameroonian like goat meat reason its very scarce to sew goat meat sold in supermarket
Oh really many Cameroonians don't like goat meat?. Is it just me or it's the places i go to or it's my immediate surrounding people, everywhere i go to, we all love love goat meat ohhhh.😂
@@elomocaroltvCameroonians like goat meat. The problem is that francophones don't cook goat with its skin. They remove the skin as is done with cattle, thus making the taste to be milder.
Goat meat with skin is way tastier reason why it's so popular in Nigeria.
@IamGodSon oh wow
Je découvre ta chaine et le contenu est excellent. I just discover your channel, and i am very happy to watch content, amazing sister.
Thank you.
I'm a Baker. I can bake 6 to 8 different types of Nigerian bread with different flavors.if I have a job opportunity in Cameroon with a good pay I'm in
I like your videos
Thanks my dear.
🙏
Wow impressive
Thank you
We also pay via bank debit card😅 & Momo...I do that most of the time when shopping in a supermarket 😊
You hardly see people usinng momo in Nigeria even. I di sorry MTN when it comes to their momo for they sote😂😂😂
As a Nigerian, you just got my sub
Thank you
Kettle cooked chips is a good chips, just like lays
Oh really, had no idea about it.
I like the way you switch between Cameroon pidgin and Nigerian Pidgin
😂
You said it right! Nigeria have high population so whatever you produce will sell,these is why there are different brands
Yeah
Just came across your video recommended to me by CZcams on my timeline and i had to sub. Watching all your videos starting from the boat ride🤗 hope you'd come back again? Stay safe
Thank you so much for watching and sub. I will definately come back again. Sooner than expected.
@@elomocaroltvI'm glad to watch my country through your eyes.
@martinisaiahorume9694 🙏
Planet drink just enter Nigerian market not long ago hoping to take of the advantage of price hike in coca cola
Oh interesting
It's Nescafe for me😂😂😂😂
Just leave Nigerians and their funny accent like that.😂😂😂
It's pronounced Neh-Ska-Fay. But yeah, in Nigeria we sometimes like to buy only what we can consume at that moment than to buy and keep. I live in Italy and I'm not a big coffee lover, but I always have Nescafe at home just in case I have a visitor that my want it and sometimes it gets expired without being opened at all. I guess that's why we have those satchet Nescafe in Naija. I love your content and I wish you all the best with your channel.
@ValyrianCode thank you.
Nigeria is a big country by population so almost every company want to establish their presence here
Most Nigerian snail Farmer breed majorly the big snails because it's more profitable and viable for the farmers to breed, yet yield great returns.
Interesting.
Probably Supermont has a branch in Nigeria. I did my internship there and i realised actually the company is owned by Lebanons and they have branches in different countries.
So there's a probability that's why.
Nice vlog
Oh really, i had no idea it's owned by Lebanons. Thank you so much for this info.
My pleasure
@limfenyuykinyuy4861 🙏
Nigeria is almost like a cashless society, people mostly pay with card or transfer
@user-cz9ph3ks5b that was one of the shockers i realised. Every body has a bank account.
Almost all the drinks are produced in Nigeria
SPAR à Douala est le meilleur
I know right.
There are different Spars in Lagos and all over Nigeria. You went to a small one.
Branding is the way to go
So i heard ohhh. I just love how Nigerians have understood this assignment of branding. I wish Cameroonians can learn and copy this from them.
Perfume samples aren't available in all stores in 🇳🇬
Oh really
They're...she didn't check
They are readily available in most stores.
My darling, there is something called franchise my dear.. some products are same name all over the world. It doesn't make it your countries. Just like Coca-Cola 😊
So i learned, thank you.
Nigeria has Spar Supermarket ok
Yeah they do.
@@elomocaroltv South African market is broad i didn't know the had spar i knew about Shoprite and other companies thanks
@kabelothebe4350 you are welcome
@@elomocaroltv 👍👍
Nigeria bought over ShopRite Nigeria 6yrs ago. ShopRite stock more of "made in Nigeria" grocery. Again, most of the supermarket brands in Nigeria stock more than 70% made in Nigeria products. The SON (standard organization of Nigeria) and NAFDAC are in charge of food quality certified food, drinks, and medication. As for those drinks you saw, Nigeria didn't copy Cameroon it's called a franchise from America Cola and Planet international companies. The same way we have franchise of Burger King, KFC, Dominos Pizza, Cold stone ice-cream, Pizza Hut, Debonairs pizza. Branding is key! Fast food restaurants do not take orders for food or serve you, it's the same way in U.K and US KFC and McDonald's. Only restaurants do that in Nigeria. You can try a la carte in any of the Lagos restaurants to experience that. You could also order food from over 200 restaurants on jumia, glovo or chow if you're in Lagos.
For restaurant reviews go to TripAdvisor, foodie in Lagos and other sites.
Probably cameroon copied Nigeria, but for cameroon paper, there's no dispute.
😂🤗
33 brand beer is produced in Nigeria over forty years.
Oh wow
There is hot pepper in Nigeria than Cameroon pepper but we just love your spice in south west of Nigeria ( the Yoruba). My brother in south east , South South, and Northern parts are not chilling pepper lover as such.
Ohhhh ok
@@elomocaroltv ...agree. It is the combination of heat *AND* flavour that makes Cameroon pepper popular here in Nigeria. Personal tastes may vary, but I cannot do without it - even when I travel abroad. No be small thing o.
My dear those drinks are not copied.
So i learned.
Cameroonian makes contact with American style extreme consumerism and capitalism in Nigeria.
...I'm curious - what part of this video do you consider "extreme consumerism"?
Everything isn’t “American,” or styled after “American,” please! You’re not the centre of the earth. It’s either they are arguing that Africa is impoverished and starving, or if they see evidence to the contrary, they find other negative things to say. If you can’t just watch and enjoy, just keep the negativity to yourself. We’re not having that anymore.
Now, listen! U need to go back to the store because U left something very crucial undone! 😂😂😂 Wen U compare goods and products, U need to deal with the price difference too. U can for instance, say the bread is very soft etc. It sells here for $2 here in Nigeria but in Cameroon we pay so and so amount for this size of bread. Use dollar equivalent because it's somehow universal. Got the point? Now, am waiting for my consultancy fee! U need my bank account number? 😂😂😂
Thank you😂
What make you think that nigeria has nothing to offer
is your companion a nigerian or cameroonian?
A Cameroonian
@elomocaroltv she seems to have done and eaten a lot of things here before (like the Golden Morn, Scheweppes, etc).
She acts and feels at home for real.
If she hasn't been here before, that's pretty cool of her to have such composure and maintaining steeze. 😂👌🏽💯
@nicebassey she has been to Nigeria a couple of times before this. Reason why she is versed with some of the things at the super market.
Why SPAR, Nigeria? SPAR is the most expensive supermarket here in Europe. You guys need LIDL, ALDI and even Penny market would be just fine, and not SPAR. Except the products are inferior and locally made.
They do have other super markets in Nigeria
So to you, locally produced equals inferior..... Hmmm okay
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nigeria copying cameroon. These are neighboring countries, no surprises here.
Its definitely Cameroon copying Nigeria
😂😂😂
U people should stop all this culture shock every country in this world has different ways of living and still has culture different so wen you travel go there expect something different anyway u are doing well don't forget to visit ikoyi. Banana island. Victoria island. Eko atlantic and more thanks
Culture shock isn't a bad thing at all. It's actually because we are aware that every country has it's own unique culture and traditions different from what we are versed with, that's why we bring out the differences we can notice. Not like we don't expect something different when we travel, we actually expect alot of differences. Noticing those differences and actually experiencing them is what makes travel beautiful.
@@elomocaroltv yeah isn't bad thing I know keep doing what you are doing u will grow more
@paulifeany4022 Amen, thank you so much
Culture shocks need to be shared to help others😅😅 What's the point of traveling if we won't share
Exactly, thank you my brother.🤗
