Define rich? undecided

What makes you think they have enough to spare? Imagine a situation whereby everyone expects you to pay heavily because you rich, what would happen do you think would happen to your wealth? Wait till you get there before judging!undecided

It's really annoying when I see rich people 'price' stuffs from these poor women. Some will go to the extent of not buying it even if their price and that which the traders are willing to sell it at is just ten naira
I still dont know why most rich people just hate the poor.They delight in seeing the poor suffering and in agony

but they can go to a kiosk and buy it cheaper. When the super market experiences low patronage they'll reduce prices.

supermarket prices aren't always high. things are actually cheaper at some big supermarket than at other places

When discussions like this come up, it's always more convenient to point fingers at others who are more financially favoured than we are and call them "rich people".

The fact that you can afford a phone and also pay for megabytes puts you ahead of most Nigerians who are really poor and can not afford a decent meal talk less of affording the "luxury" of owning a phone and also paying for megabytes. People in this category will also call you "rich"!

The question is "what have you done to help the poor around you as an individual with the little God has blessed you with? " Your widow's mite 'll go a long way in redistributing wealth.

Don't wait for the "rich people" because you are also rich in your own right.

It breaks my heart seeing traders like this & how customers bargain with them. You'd hear convos like:

Customer: Madam how much for 5?
Trader: Na six hundred o.
Customer: How much last?
Trader: Pay 500
Customer: No o. I go give you 200
Trader: Madam no be so, orange don cost. Na 400 i buy 5. E no gree 200 ma. Pay 450.
Customer: No o. Madam answer me i no get time.
*walks away*

Then when same customer gets to shoprite to buy same oranges
Customer: Hello, how much are these?
Rude Attendant: The label is there ma.
Customer: *Looks at label and sees '5 for 1500'*. Wow, it's alright. Give me 10. *Hands over 4000 to attendant and says 'keep the change'. undecided embarassed


In as much as I like to agree with you,but let's see it this way,buying from shoprites has advantage,because you may get home and notice a defect on the product,and decide to return it back to shoprites with yr receipt and can even sue in some serious cases,but roadside trader can do absolute noting for you if you can even see them again.

I say no to having babies,if you can't afford them.

I think the petty traders should adopt the supermarket pattern. Price tags should be used on their goods as well. As crazy as it sounds I think it's a good soln. I am pricelessngel just trynna make common sense.

I don't understand, is it wrong to bargain?

Has anyone here ever been duped by a supposed poor woman or man? how does it feel?

So because an Okada rider looks poor, I should allow him charge me N1000 for a journey that naturally cost N50? Because he's on Okrika jacket, while I'm on suit and tie?

I will not stop bargaining till Christ comes. I will bargain with the poor, with the rich, and with everyone when & where necessary.

However, if the condition of a poor woman or man touches my heart, I would solely GIVE without necessarily buying anything. Bargaining with the poor or the rich can never be wrong. Some of these so called 'poor" shop owners are way richer than some of us who pretend to OWN all the money in the bank. Business is business, charity is charity.
God bless you! Uv said it all.. Most people commenting here are just sentimental. I mean, I believe in charity alot (I even have my own charity outreach) what I dont like is people mandating or expecting you to because you are "rich" for goodness sakes, why can't individuals satisfy their conscience, mind their business and move on?! But no, the next thing you will hear is the "rich this poor this" if I decide to go to a super market, it's my money... and if I decide to help someone, it's also my money. All the people commenting the rich is this and that here are the ones that don't even help anybody! Or you don't know your 50 naira can go a long way Be waiting for a rich man to come and dash her 500k Mtcheeew.. We are just hypocrites!
The annoying thing and at the same time funny is, if someone decides to locate this woman to help her, the same category of people calling on the "rich" will say it's "publicity stunt" mehn! The mentality of an average Nigerian youth is pathetic angry
An ignorant person is already saying this is another olajumoke is the making. You can imagine such comment. Is just sad

You can only pay for the value of a product. What you are suggesting is that Nigerians become a country where it's citizens depend on charity. That is not how great economies are made.

But why is she asleep right in the middle of her business cycle. If she cannot manage her time well then her priorities are not right. Most times it is a little bit of wisdom that people need to move to the next level, not always about money or the lack of it.
If you've ever been a mother to a baby, you'll understand better. There's nothing like time management where these little babies are concerned. It's possible he kept her awake all night.

We should never encourage extortion. If she calls a piece of orange N5 or N10, I would buy because we all know the value, and of course, give her money if I have the means (money as charity; it has nothing to do with the orange).

However, if she calls a piece N400, I would simply walk away and get a piece from a supermarket, not minding her condition (poor or hungry).

What we should be preaching is Charity & Honesty, not IGNORANTLY paying N5000 for a N200 worth of good. That's not charity, it is what it is - MU.MU.

Don't bargain with them, instead pay more. Show a little love, share a little hope. Survival is a tearful battle for most, especially with children. In God we trust... Happy Sunday!". Well said...

I ll show compassion & love to pay more or even set her up in a business if she is honest. While I ll aonish her if she is dishonest. Its still part of love cos she needs correction if she's dishonest.

That is why I said he just exergerated. Nobody is talking about not bargaining here. But some people, especially ladies bargains to the point of annoyance, because they know she has no choice, her goods are perishable, so she has to sell. Some people will even keep driving while bargaining, making the sellers run after their cars just because she won't reduce #50. We see these things daily. I do bargain too, but when I know it's withing the range of a fair price, I pay and move on.

Very Rich folks are the MOST STINGY things to ver grace the face of the earth!

That is how they got rich in th first place, robbing the poor on one hand and being tight-fisted on the other hand! shocked


Even when they "give', they are doing it for "karimi/come-see-me" or just to spite the poor person
