Afeelya. Thats a way to think. He should negotiate better with his personal purchase in millions.
If he bargains sometin of 300mill for 290mil he saved 10mill. Thats significant
Not bargaining 5k for 1k n saving 4k just because its a common man.
Then he will use that 4k+40k to buy wine dat he will drink n not finish.
Pftttttttt

Not really surprised tho. I won't find that hard to believe considering the fact that most of these rich men are stingy AF. They believe everyone must strive like they did.

Most Igbo were already born with Dangote's gifted fiscal discip!ine. It's either you have the nature or not, regardless of your networth. And it is mostly found in people who had trading background.

Dangote cut his teeth as a trader and the training would always live with him.

I didn't learn anything simply because is action was counter productive and frankly Bismark was right. His time was worth more than the discount

There are times when it's necessary to haggle but sometimes it's better to view the deliberate mark up price as a way of giving back instead of handing money over to street beggars

Would dangote haggle over Tips at any restaurant in NY?


True story

Some dude tried to sell me a hublot (obviously fake) watch on the lekki/epe expressway. I asked him if he thought I wouldn’t know the difference after showing him the watch I had on me on the day.
He smiled and off he went only for me to call him back and hand him N5K (he actually tried to sell it for 10K or there about) . I told him I loved the fact that he was out there hustling to survive rather than begging people for money on the street or worse still engaging in despicable acts.

Dangote can't be termed stingy, he only taught that guy some lesson.
The actual price is 1000naira but the guy on sighting Dangote hyped the price to 5000naira.
He is even more greedy than Dangote himself.
He should have simply asked "oga, anything for the boys?" or he shuts up.
Most market women do it as well, they call higher price just cos they see you in a big car.

Dangote knew his schedule and shouldnt be schooled on time and money.

Fiscal discipline trickles down to the most trivial in most rich people who worked hard to get to the top.

American Texan billionaire Henry Ross Perrot still has time to wait in a street barber's shop to cut his hair with ten dollar.

By JUMI RHODES


Although his net worth is about $14.1billion as of today, Aliko Dangote deplores being wasteful with money. The billionaire CEO/founder of Dangote Group is Africa's richest man. Dangote owns a private jet, a yacht as well as choice properties in Ikoyi, and Victoria Island, exclusive playgrounds of ultra-wealthy Nigerians in Lagos. By the standards of some Nigerian billionaires,Dangote is not that extravagant, but is not always so frugal.


Dangote's longtime friend Bismarck Rewane, CEO of consultancy firm Financial Derivatives,in an interview with Reuters recalled a business dinner they had at Eko Hotel in Victoria Island. According to Rewane, when he and the billionaire businessman left in Dangote's black Mercedes, the hotel staff had charged 5,000 Naira for parking, which was in excess, but nothing for a man of Dangote's wealth.


Suspecting the rip-off, Rewane said Dangote negotiated it down to 1,000 Naira. In Rewane's words, "He(Dangote) spent a good few minutes doing it. I said to him: 'let's just go. Our time is more valuable than a few thousand naira. But he wouldn't let it go. He smiled afterward. He was so happy he'd got a good deal."

Everyone has the ability to negotiate but the big question is, whether you will allow the regulars the time without applying force or intimidation?

My good friend, that kind of Profligacy doesn't motivate one to become rich.
It only feeds your sense of more expense.

True my man

I once negotiated the price for the repair of my shoe with an Aboki, I reduced it from 100 to 50

when he was done, I gave him 100 and told him to keep the change

he looked shocked and broke out the kind of smile you only see an Aboki smile to another Aboki and said "thank you"

A regular Joe would still haggle the price in that type of situation, a lot of Nigerians do it all the time when they are in a situation that allows price bargaining.
