Just as the rumor of the killer indomie was being debunked about two years ago something amazing happened, three different brands of the same meal with probably slightly different tastes entered the market. Now on the shelves of most convenience stores is the ever presence of different brands of my own indomie, so much that I have to specify whenever I send anyone to but me the product, “buy mimi not chiki if there is no indomie buy dangote.”
I, like many Nigerians call products by their most popular brand name so forgive my use of words. As of this write up there are five consistent gala brands or sorry sausage brands in this country we have gala, meaty, leventis, chi and bigi. The next time you are in traffic in lagos just shout gala through you window and you would have an array of sausages to pick from. A friendly word of advice check the expiry date no matter the brand you purchase.
The viju milk rivalry is next in turn and believe me it is just as fierce as the gala and indomie rivalry if not for any reason for the reason that this year alone, the viju brand was joined by complan and twist brand and the beauty the prices are not uniform as at the writing of this article, which is what probably makes the viju rivalry more fierce.
