Cameroon Girl Loses It at the Nigerian SPAR! || Elomo Carol
Hey fam! Elomo Carol here! As you all know, I recently took my first-ever trip to Nigeria and let me tell you, it was an amazing experience! But of course, with any new culture comes a little bit of shock. Today, I'm sharing a funny story about my visit to a local SPAR supermarket in Nigeria. Let's just say, it was NOT what I was expecting!
Prepare yourselves for a HILARIOUS grocery haul where I compare what a SPAR in Nigeria has to offer compared to what I'm used to back home in Cameroon. You won't believe the differences! From unexpected finds to familiar favorites, this is gonna be a fun and eye-opening experience.
So grab your snacks and get ready to laugh along as I navigate the aisles of the Nigerian SPAR! Don't forget to leave a comment below letting me know your favorite part about shopping for groceries in Nigeria. ️Also, don't forget to hit that subscribe button and join the Elomo Carol fam for more adventures!

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.
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,
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.

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! 👍🏾

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! Sunday M

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.
My dear those drinks are not copied.

Cameroon is Central Africa and east of Nigeria where there's very few industry so Nigeria products may not be that much in Cameroon. Besides, 33 beer is Nigerian with close to 45years in Nigeria.
