mporting used clothes and other items such as shoes, bags, children toys, and electronic products into Nigeria is very lucrative business. Nigerians buy these things everyday even at high prices. I would rather buy shoes from the fairly used shoe dealers than buy the China made, or Idumota Oshodi made shoes in Nigerian markets. Not that I am not patriotic but because I like quality stuffs. It is better I get Oliver Fox from imported fairly used dealer that I am sure is the genuine quality even though it has been used than get brand new Louis Voitton in Idumota that is actually fake and made in Aba.
There are so many people like me who prefer to go for fairly used tokunbo shoes whenever they don’t have enough money to buy pure designers than buy the inferior new ones. Some months back, I bought three pairs of made in Nigeria shorts in Oshodi, two days later my wife bought another three for me in the market but this time it was Fairly used made in UK. The three I bought had since gone while I am still using the ones my wife bought. That is the power of quality products – they last longer than the fake new ones.
