A key lesson learnt from a barber living right
across my house.
I was looking a bit unkempt with my beards
unshaved and hair a bit above my regular limit, I
decided to clean up a bit, so I picked up my
wallet, checked how much was left in it cos I had
just bought fuel at the new N145 per liter price,
knowing Nigerians, every price on products and
services will skyrocket with the new price, so I
decided to go with N500 after all, it can't be that
bad that the price will shoot from N200 to N500.
On getting to the salon, I was the first customer
he had for the day, I asked how much will it cost
me to get a hair cut and I was shocked to hear
him say N200, then my next question was has he
not bought fuel at the new rate, he simply smiled
and said, he just got back from the filling station,
the most shocking part was that NEPA/PHCN/
EDC had done what they know how to do best (if
you are Nigerian, you should understand ), the
barber switched on his generator and did his job,
while he was cutting my hair, I was really curious
to know why he didn't increase his charges, after
he was through with me, I paid and collected my
change (before he changed his mind), then I
asked him the all important question, "why?". His
answer was the most practical and impressive
one I've gotten in a while.
He said "the N100 profit that comes steadily and
frequently is better than the N500 profit that
comes once in a while". Before I knew it, a
passerby just branched and asked the guy, how
much he barbs and he told him 200, the guy just
jumped in and decided to cut his hair because
other barbers had increased their charges. This
morning I looked out through my balcony and the
salon was filled with customers, waiting to get a
cut, this I had not seen in his salon for a very
long time. This guy is a true business man.
Lesson learnt, see and create opportunities for
yourself and out smart your competition in any
way you can and in any situation you find
yourself.

The more the quantity , the higher the profit! Business sense.

After the long story your FTC nawaooo

If you ever stayed in the north you will know that is how a hausa man operates. A hausa man is satisfied if he makes 100 on a commodity in a day than waiting to make 200 on the same commodity after 4 days.
