@kobbykatalyst1 This is not really the entire truth. The rich have yachts, private jets, — some even own islands, among others. These are things the poor can't afford. To each, his own. And the rich do wear expensive suits & stuff. You think the designers are largely patronised by the poor?

The China Mall-West Hills Mall saga is a fascinating one. When the mall culture was introduced, it was targeted at high-income earners. Prices were too high. Accra Mall, Marina Mall, A&C Mall, & West Hills Mall. To buy an item from any shop in these malls became a status badge.

This video is more explosive than Anas' exposé but because it implicated Ken Ofori-Atta, in addition to Charles Adu Boahen, it was glossed over. This video has been in the system longer than KKD's vituperations/caustic rants.

We, Ghanaians, love mediocrity. We will do everything to force people to become ordinary. 1. In school, classmates will tease you if you love to study. They'll call you derogatory names. This is the case from primary school to university.

Once again, I'm here to tell you that the African had no concept of a devil in the like of Biblical descriptions and attributions. Again, note that, sasabonsam in Akan traditions isn't the equivalent of the biblical Satan. It was adopted, corrupted, and transformed.

So if the managers of these other Malls (including WHM) wants to compete, they should first cut down that outrageous price they charge for rent. And also change their strategy. The middle income earners are the second largest group. Mall isn't a status symbol.

I'm addition, it is these same high-end earners who travel abroad often & so are in a position to buy these items on their travels. Then came China Mall with the same business strategy as Melcom but with more products. They targeted everyone. No pretentious branding.

It was funny seeing shops closing down after 6 months in operations. There was a bookshop inside Accra Mall. It closed by first converting into music shop. Ghanaians love to "niche" everything. Meanwhile the population of high-earners is too small to sustain a market.

Every item is cheap. And because people care more about their disposable income, they voted with their feet. You can't be selling the same items and be charging 20x the price. What's the objective? Yes, CM may be undercutting the market or may be engaging in dumping.

@JohnMayer_II @barcacentre It's funny to think that there are people who think Messi couldn't get more money from other teams than he is getting from Barca, if money were his objective. Football is his occupation and he does it best so get paid what he deserves. But if he wanted more, he'd have gone
