Hahaa.

Reminds me of my RICH friend in lagos...
He works for a Politician (close allie to Jagaban), this man own a mining company in Lagos. And my friend reports directly to the man's son and sometimes to the man himself.

This certain day, my friend walked into the bank to confirm certain money paid (alert failure).

He walked in so so dirty, he saw a lady in the bank looking decent, and the lady never looked down on him, she smiled in return and that was the beginning of a family... nine months later, the lady was in New York to have her first baby for my friend, second baby was in thr UK, and the third US again.

It's a lesson to all.

All those 'dress as u wanna be addressed' things are b'shaiitt.

I'ld rather look dirthy while at work and have billions in my pocket than live on borrowed suit at works and have nothing.

Hammer hit very well on the nail head! Thanks for sharing.

Was looking to buy a skirt at a store sometime last year...got in and was asking the sales girls if they had skirts but I got no reply from them, only for two ladies to come in after me dressed "madamish", both sales girls got up and were all over them. I just opened my mouth and was about to give them the bashing of their lives, but a security man took that time to come tell me to come out and repark as I was obstructing someone. Both girls were like ah sorry ma, what would you like to buy. I just hissed and left the store.

PaulKillerman:
I hate when kids write what they do not know... Mark is always known for dressing that way, that's his style... That aside other billionaires dress good.... More so, the Caucasians are simple people (billionaires or not) they are less concerned about mundane titles , and are more interested in things that better their lots, over here, the greed, ego, wickedness and selfishness of an average Blackman will not allow him(reason why dey behave like animals).. It really has nothing to do with being rich... It is the attitude of blacks

i hate when itk start arguing blindly.

I can humbly relate to your two scenarios,
I have observed that Most Yoruba traders or shop owners will want you to literally beg them to sell something, they see them selves as gods, their egos unerring, most of them don't appreciate customers at all, unlike their Igbo counterparts I often promise my self not to go back to their shop someone other time in the future. their non business attitude and in negotiate able manners are so unlike someone doing business. wa da fuc

heysss gbenu e soun .taaaa mechionu. I'm very Yoruba and anti tribalist. If we see truth let us say it and let the devil be ashamed. Yoruba have poor buisness relationships.they treat their customers very poorly. Infact the word will be better in Yoruba.wonlaponle customer. They'll be doing as if they're doing the customer a favour whereas it's customers that's bringing money for them

As a matter of fact let a Yoruba and igbo be selling the same thing I'll rather get it from an igbo man because an igbo man will not reign curses on me for Window shopping OR pricing their goods

Sorry that's for engrshakespare not you.I mistakenly quoted you wrongly. My apologies

redcliff:


Lol. It seems you dont know the swiss. Apparently they think the world ends in europe and all africans who recently entered europe came by boat. Those guys are so backward socially

mykel20:
People should cool it with the Zuckerberg comparisons. Not all American billionaires are that modest. That's just zuckerberg's own style. Wealthy Americans can also be very ostentatious and embark on crazy fantasy spending, same thing with the Europeans and the Arabs( I think the Arabs are even more lavish). Being lavish isn't just an African thing, people all over the world tend to live above their means, its now a way of life. The so-called modest rich guy wearing jeans and tee is probably wearing a $200k wristwatch or a million dollar ring that you wouldn't notice. Basically what I'm saying is that it's not only Africans like to show off, I mean these bloody Americans named a show Rich kids of Beverly Hills, like wtf.

Michael say only what you know

SAMBARRY:
ok she thought you were probably the younger sister and someone sent you to buy those stuffs


You shouldn't have even bought anything from her and walked out

I have encountered such nasty experience.very recently about a month ago.I was on my way back home WITH my daughter when I passed by a supermarket. I saw a very beautiful clutch purse and I stopped by wanting to buy it.so I walked into the supermarket and asked how much it IS, the woman first looked at me for a few seconds and asked if I tell you the price can you buy it?I was like what is that supposed to mean then she said it's 7k.I brought out 10k and counted it in her presence. She too was using eye to count the money with ME, I said you see this money with me here, it's not going to end here. I came to buy something I fancied and instead of you to behave civil you were asking me stooped questions whether I can buy it.

She was now like Haa aunty koribe,emabinu.I said wura let's leave here joor.I went 3shops near hers to buy exactly what she was doing shakara for and deliberately passed by her shop to spite her. I made sure i didn't put the clutch purse inside a nylon so she Will see it.She nearly cried in bitterness.it was obvious She was just controlling herself

Meanwhile that's why I love the igbo spirit when it comes to entrepreneurship and attending to customers. Every customer is a king and is treated as such. Even if you don't buy and you just Window shop they will treat you like you own the world.which brings me to my last story.last week I went to price Curtains because I wanted to have an idea of how much Curtains are now.you needed to see the way this igbo guy attended to me.he was so courteous and warm.I had to tell him bros don't bring everything out I just want to know how much it is and so because of his hospitality I vowed that I will go back there and buy it which I did yesterday. However I saw other Curtains which we're relatively cheaper and finer than his but because of his pleasant customer treatment which I received from him I bought it from him

The bottonline is if you don't look down on your customers and treat them nicely even if they came to windowshop, even if your shop is under the ground they will go out of their way to find you.

you think igbos all treat customers as such? there is one igbo shop owner close to my house who has an extremely rude attitude, when i i discovered i could not take it anymore, i started walking past her shop to the one after her to buy stuff and then walk right in front of her shop back home. i had two more similar experiences with igbo shop owners.i think we have people from all tribes who (mis)behave that way. i have long learnt not to take nonsense from shop owners sha. i no dey collect credit o, so no ever disrespect me.

Mine is the complete opposite. The first impression people have of me is that of being from a wealthy background. Dem no know say shishi no gum me.

Even when I try to point out my #1,000 darling yaki hair and fairly used shoes/clothes, they go "Yea right, you're just trying to be humble".

So here I am, enjoying my virtual wealth.

Just STFU with your tribal crap. You guys don't have to be insecure about everything. Only igbo ppl are perfect with golf customer service? Abeg find somewhere rest.

You still didn't get his point, We will still give it to the IGBOs when it comes to costumer relationship. No tribe beats them to that'.

Yimu. All the private jet owners in this are famous to a certain degree. Acquisitions of private aircrafts are usually announced as they are used to make ''statements''. I find it very hard to believe that there are unknown owners of private jets in this country( private is the operative word). One should not confuse corporate with private...Feel free to not reply.

Oga you are not right on that one o.
There are two men from the SE who have private jets o, and you don't know them.

Not everyone likes show off.

dokiOloye:
Observe very carefully, Igbo traders tend to be very polite in their dealings with their customers esp d owners of d shop,not their sales girls/boys.
I was brought up in d east,there is this street in my town filled with 2,3 and 4 storey buildings.The shops downstairs are usually owned by d landlady.
If U come to buy as little as sachet water of #10(was #5 per piece then),the madam will keep petting U."Thank U my son,do U need a leather bag?" good night my son".
All for 10 naira sachet water.
But when I came to live in Abj,I was schocked by d rudeness of d itinerant hausa traders.Immediately they see U with 1k note,they'll arrogantly dismiss U citing lack of change,even when they have enuf change on their hand and U are seeing it.
But an Igbo man will first of all collect Ur money,then both of U will start looking for d change.If U both can't find it,he/she will try to coax U into buying something else or coming back for Ur change later.
Men,give it to d Igbo traders in terms of customer relationship.

You are very right on this one.
Even when you price them, they would not take offence.
But try it with all those Yoruba market women, you will hear tori.
