“Five Minutes” in KFC | WTF!?! Photography Prohibited!?!

by Abiola Abiola on January 9, 2010

For those of us that have been paying attention to developments and events in Nigeria for the past few years, you’ll notice the explosion of “fast” food restaurants. So its no suprise that foreign brands are joining in the craze. American fast food chain restaurant, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) certainly doesn’t want to miss out on the ”cholesterol hunger” that seem to have taken Nigeria by storm.

So, doing what we do – we decided to Mind their Bizness by visiting their new franchise at the City Mall in Victoria Island, Lagos. Here’s how it went down:

honestly i dont think they are doing too much. You guys know how nigerians get now… they see something good then everybody wants to jump on it and replicate the original. Its a private business and they have every right to protect their trade secrets. If someone has a problem with not being able to take pictures there DON'T GO. its not by force i'm sure there is a Tantalizers down the street

It's a freaking restaurant abeg!!! Private wat??? It's a restaurant… What kinda restaurant doesn't allow pictures??? Did they build the place with gold or crystals???? All that shakara is bcos KFC is new… They are like villagers that just came to America.. in Yoruba we call dem "Oju o ro la ri"…That's pure BS to me. I know other places dat u're not allow to take pictures and it's understandable but a restaurant???? Plssssssssssssssss!!!!

come on and you guys are acting like you dot know how people are in nigeria. KFC is only trying to take preventative measures against replication. Imagine if they let people come in and take pictures next thing u know there is a KFC (Kolade Fried Chicken) down the street with the same exact design and interior setup. What is KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) going to do.. sue KFC (Kolade Fried Chicken)… YEA RIGHT. In Nigeria sue another company the judge overseeing the case will first laugh before answering.

No photography allowed in KFC…. a freaking KFC!!!! The bad part is Nigerians will allow this, they'll still flood the place. Something they can't think of trying anywhere else, they'll do in naija and get away with it.

Y are u guys posting gists like like a bunch of nitwits?
It's the real KFC, with standards like no other, I've been there and think it's cool.
All u retrogressive thinkers will never let the country swing forward and u think u are exposed and all. U don't take pictures of their facilities which is simply standard of any serious minded business, pictures of urselves Y not. Go visit before condeming, bad belle goats…..psssttttts
