[quote author=nahinbdis]I work in one of the foriegn Banks in VI. I have this close pal (a team leader) that recently started selling his wife's chin-chin in the office. I found he initially brought some for product testing in order to obtain valuable feedback for improvement. However people loved it and asked him to keep bringing and he has just started.

Thing is the guy is not broke (I know his pay and he drives an SUV). Someone commented today that he must really love the wife to do that. Another said its not so cool. I think its not so bad afterall particularly because the wife is just starting.

A good man realy love his wife,. keep it up.

aww nice hubby loving him already.

Diligence: I will encourage the guy to do it in an 'organised manner and professionally, too' - outside of working hours (before and after close of business and during lunchtime). He can also hire some guys to help out, since the biz is growing and will keep growing.

This is reasonable. very reasonable.

he is married o

its nt a bad idea at all as long as d guy enjoys doing it and he doesnt give a damn abt pples opinion

guy,u try.dont mind all this'westerners in nigeria'.you are a good example of a true entrepreneur.as far as it doesnt disrupt your official duties,then go on.afterall,the same workers would definitely head to the canteen for break.this way,lunch break is avoided by most of the way and at the same time,work is done cuz most of the workers will eat at their desk.

When did chin chin become lunch?

Tell the man that i Love is courage. Sellin her Chin-chin is better than selling her Body some men do sell dere wife

Chin Chin

Sometimes called Nigerian cookies, Chin-Chin is a sweet snack made of fried dough. We like it not too hard, not too soft, enough to deliver that satisfying crunch. Kids, their parents and their grandparents all love this snack

for Nigerians looking for ChinChin in the US, you can get your ingredients here -http://www.nigerianfoods.com/products/chin-chin

Money does not smell! As long as it is made in an honest way.

Years back I used to sell dry fish in the office. Initially my friends were like "how can you!" . Very soon they were even comming to my home to buy.

which reader did you use in primary school?
Its obvious the one you used never had any
provision for "comprehension" lessons, you
deserve a refund of any fee you paid I tell u!

Choi! Nairalanders are wicked! Hehehehe

No one is forced to buy though.


Eg if you're counting your calories or something.


Basic thing here is what is the office policy.

Why are you worried about what the assistance a man renders to his wife?

amdman:
My friend (poster Nahinbdis) just showed me this post now and I am the one he is referring to.

Wifey is currently doing her NYSC here in Lagos. We had previously resolved that she would not be going into paid employment upon completion. Because of her industrious nature, she mooted the idea of starting a catering business while she is still serving, as a learning process before going bigger. And I think any husband in a great marriage such as I have would support her.

I don’t actually ‘hawk’ the stuff in the office. Like OP said, I brought it to the office for testing and people just loved it, and asked that I keep bringing (including my supervising manager), and right now when people know that I bring, demand exceeds supply. It doesn’t affect my job at all (issues raised by Braveheart are germane) as I have drawn up a list of those interested and I just ask them if they want. However, the selling is a short term thing as there are avenues I am currently exploring that will take care of that (a bigger platform) in about 2 weeks or so.

And the truth is there is profit in it (for wifey though). She told me yesterday that she has started saving N2000 per day as untouchable profit (other profits are reinvested) and we have not even done 1% of the actual marketing and sales in our business plan. She is so anxious to start the real stuff and am the one holding her on a leash right now (so she does not put too much on her plate).

Do I really care what people think? Sometimes. But when I look at the big picture I kill those thoughts. Someday, this will be part of the testimony and it would all have been worth it.

please, do you have an unmarried younger brother?
