My previous blog was about a magazine – Nigeria Magazine – which I rescued recently while visiting home. This one is not any different.
I am back with another advert from the same magazine and it took me down memory lane. A supermarket, called Kingsway had this advert:
Although I was not alive in 1963, Kingsway survived well into the early eighties only succumbing during recession that started in 1982.
I remember a particular visit to Kingsway one Christmas to see Father Christmas as we used to call him then.
As the recession took a stranglehold in Nigeria, decimating the income of the middle class, the cost of goods retailed by the likes of Kingsway made their business models unviable and they all disappeared.
