Yesterday i went to buy naija food where i usually buy our food in johannesburg but the prize don increase from 40 rand to 50. On the 24th i went to buy live chickens for xmas but the prize has increased from 100 rand to 120. But when you go to a south african owned business to buy anything you will realise that they have reduced their prize. South african businesses do all kinds of promotions during festive periods by giving discounts on variety of things but our own no be like that. We punish each other by hiking prizes. Why is it like that? I've been wondering. Why do we sell something that is 1000 naira 1500 naira because its xmas or easter or sallah?

Cos they like to cheat and most of them if not all Nigerians are Dubious. Just a little opportunity, and yhu will see their true colours.

Nigerians always find ways to maximize profit without considering the buyers. We usually shout that government is making live uncomfortable for us but if we look at the ways we are making it uncomfortable for ourselves and fellow Nigerians, you will discover that we are problem to ourselves. The mentality has been part and parcel of business in Nigeria and I don't think it is going to stop too soon.
