In fact, all the bets.

The sudden proliferation of these bet shops is alarming.
There are more bet shops in my street than number of human beings.

Well, if you do not like the material, don't buy (Easier said than done angry).
You can wear the natives to Church/Mosque or other functions.
I so much agree with you, if I don't like the material I don't buy!
My friends know my pattern already, if the material ain't classy I'm not buying. Instead just tell me the color of the day, i would sew it the way I want and come. That's the kinda asoebi i do now , the 1s we are shown sample/shade of the material/style.
It actually comes out more beautiful in my eyes sef.

2. Insisting on Designers, Labels, and Brands
From groceries to clothing to prescription drugs, you can save money by choosing an off-brand over a fancy label. And in many cases, you won't sacrifice much in quality. Clever advertising and fancy packaging don't make brand-name products better than lesser-known brands.
For example, generic drugs can cost as much as 80% less than their brand-name alternatives.

5. Maintaining a Fleet of Cars
Most people keep a fleet of car to show the world they have arrived , However they fail to realize that their cars start diminishing in value the moment they drove out of the show room . The Insurance ,licensing , and maintenance is an unnecessary expense for a vehicle you drive once in a month!

6. Multiple Girlfriends or Sugar Boys.
Women are wonderful creatures, history is replete with men who died because of women only to have those women become concubines of the men who killed their lovers .
A Man with a retinue of girlfriends will have to Buy Credit for Shade , change wardrobe for Ngozi and pay house rent for Fatima all these add up to keep the young mans account in perpetual red !
In the same vein women are reinventing slavery but this time on a different dimension, they have mastered the act of keeping "Bingos" whose only duty is allegiance to the Bosom of a woman old enough to be their mothers .
One peculiar thing about these "bingos" is the Fact that they have taste as such keeping many "Bingos" sometimes leave a tsunami effect on the bank account !

8. Not Pulling the Plug on Electronics
If you use a prepaid meter this is one of the reasons your credits develop wings.
Electronics that have a clock or operate by remote are typical culprits. The obvious way to pull the plug on your energy vampires is to do just that -- pull the plug. Or buy a device to do it for you, such as a Smart Strip Power Strip which will stop drawing electricity when the gadgets are turned off and pay for itself within a few months.


9.Buying at the Wrong time !
This mistake could some times have devastating effect Its is dangerous to Buy a Land or House during dry season because the area might be prune to floods or the Land could be waterlogged .
Building during raining season on the other hand also has some advantages
1. Cost of Building materials especially cement falls
2.Molding Blocks and water supply for concretes works could be made easier especially for those in arid areas


10. Borrower !
Pls Borrow me =N= 500,000 I have a business deal I must close tonight?
Many people have lost millions and made great and wicked enemies just because they choosed to help.
The wisdom here is never lend out an amount you are not willing to forget!

You touched my heart most with this. "7. Leaving Your Money in a Low-
Interest Account
If you're stashing your cash in a
traditional savings account earning
next to nothing, you're wasting it.
Make sure you're getting the best
return on your money. Fix any
money you don't need and earn
good returns from your bank instead
of paying account management fees
to a bank which charges you for
using your money."

You've spoken well sir. fully observed.

Try to define the class u r directing dis to. Cos Most of your points are just poverty mentality. A handy dude will prefer to buy gala at a higher cost in a trusted supermarket in d vi, than buying d same gala at oshodi at cheaper rate n risk his life to expired gala. Most of ur type will want to save money n end up buying fufu in place of android phone at oshodi

Normally, a bulk 6f our money is spent on things we don't need. We dwell on vanity and lose track of the real essence. It is human nature, you can't fight it, even if you do, yo can't win.
