SIX TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU WILL SEE AT SHOPRITE - BY SISI YEMMIE

Posted by on
I was at Ikeja City Mall earlier today and I spied Ramsey Nouah parking and going into the mall, I wondered how he felt coming there especially as he is very popular and fans with no chill will jump on him.

I feel like every trip to ICM is interesting, you never know what you will see but you can be sure to see the following kinds of people on a typical day: 



SELFIE TAKERS
These ones are not here to shop, meet anyone. They are armed with their phones, clothes from their bottom box, face beat and friends to help them take the best photo ever. All they want is that Shoprite logo (it must be cos they are always right in front of Shoprite). I saw a group of young girls today, trying to take the perfect selfie for the gram, their neck almost break because the phone was so high & each girl was twisting their neck so much that I stood with my mouth open .


CD SELLERS
I can spot them a mile off now, they know how to target you. It's not a bad thing that they want you to buy their "Albums", na the huzzle na. The day I have spare change I give them, the day I don't I do my best to dodge. I wonder how much some of them make in a day.



CELEBRITIES
I cannot count the number of celebrities I've seen at Ikeja City Mall. If you want to spot them, just spend a few good hours at the Mall and shine your eyes, you will definitely see one! My most remarkable celeb spotting at ICM was Dakore, she was so nice and courteous! That was a long time ago sha.



PICK POCKETS
Be very observant at ICM, these ones are loitering about looking for maga. You will see them, shopping basket in hand, but they will never drop anything inside. They are often too close for comfort, always accidentally brushing you. I remember one time this guy was just "gumbodying" me, I turned around and asked if he minded? "Bros you cannot be chewingumming me, see space." He wore white on white trad. Few minutes later I saw this same bros trying to lift a woman's phone and she caught him! I almost joined to to shout Ole on his head but I decided to waka pass .



ALMS & CHARITIES
I remember one time I went to the Mall with Yomi and this lady gave him an envelop, he think say she dash him. I had to let him know to put money inside and return to her. You will get approached by these people asking for alms or those who forgot their transport fare at home and need you to give them one 5000 naira you are not using.
 


SHOPRITE BREAD
Then there are the people who came all the way from their house to come and queue for Shoprite bread . I have been on that queue too (no shame in my game) and I've jumped the queue a few times.

WORLD'S OLDEST MAN DIES AT 116 IN SOUTH AFRICA

                   Fredie Blom - seen here on his 116th birthday - said there was no special secret to his longevity A South African who was thought to be the oldest man in the world has died at the age of 116. Fredie Blom's identity documents showed he was born in Eastern Cape province in May 1904, although that was never verified by Guinness World Records. When he was a teenager, his entire family was wiped out by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. He went on to survive two world wars and apartheid. Mr Blom told the BBC in 2018 that there was no special secret to his longevity . "There's only one thing - it's the man above [God]. He's got all the power. I have nothing. I can drop over any time but He holds me," he said. Mr Blom spent most of his life as a labourer - first on a farm and then in the construction industry - and only retired when he was in his 80s.   Fredie Blom's identity documents list his date of birth as 8 May 1904 Although he gave up drinki
