I'm a Corper presently serving at Anambra state, Idemili South. I want to share my hilarious experience at Nnobi Market with a woman selling banana.

Almost all my life was in Abuja, gwagwalada to be precise.(lol) In Abuja, gwagwalada things are a bit cheaper compare to here in Anambra state.

Here is my hilarious story:

Every Thursday is always our c.d.s, we do go to the local government for the exercise. After coming back I and my friend will alight at this Nnobi Market, which is the biggest market that is close to my place of primary assignment to buy foodstuffs and the rest. There is this woman that sells banana, plantain and groundnut along the road. It was my friend that first told me about this, I decided to go see myself. How much is banana? I asked the woman selling she said is #1,500 Haba mma, sell am for me #800 na.. I begged, before I knew the woman just left me standing there. My friend pinch me signifying we should go. He told me to go home and remove this khaki I'm putting on and come back to price the banana. I did as instructed, priced the same banana that the woman told me #2,000.. Nno, the woman greeted me in Igbo. Ma'am I want buy banana I said in pidgin English. This, she pointed to the previous banana she told me #2,000 as #1,000 I was shocked, me not wanting to just pay at the mentioning of price. I told her that I will pay #800. To cut the long story short. The banana that I was told #2,000 with Corper khaki, I later bought it on muffty #800. If you are Corper, I beg you in the name of God, before going to the market, remove anything that will identify you as a Corper. If not all these market people will use"Corper wee, federal government pikin, take extract the little allawee wey no dey reach one week for your hand.

I also noticed here in Nnobi market, Anambra state here, everybody has their own prices, you can price painter of rice in this shop #2,200 in the next shop is #2,500. Nobody will advise you to go to the place your were told #2,200. If you get permanent customer here, you don enter one chance. Dey go dey bill you steady

Okada men here, na big men oo...unlike for Abuja, gwagwalada where I come from . You can negotiate price with okada men. For here in Anambra state, na you go dey beg okada men, every okada man will be like "you carry change for there" upon the big money wey dey bill you.


In summary:

Anambra state will broaden your horizon your business mentality will be activated and resurrected.

Even as a Yoruba man I think Anambra state is the best state in Nigeria

Subtle funny shade... Buh that's our identity.

Am glad you're learning one or two.

My bruh... Presently now I'm looking for where to start food stuff business ( wholesale)....If you don have extra source of income here. Hunger will hugg you.

Not far from the truth on ground.

This was interesting to read.

No lies bro, this mentality of (corpers be govt pickin bill them when you see them) are on majority of people who did not go through the scheme, abeg how much govt dey pay, mtcheew that thing used to annoy me, the looks sometimes I get from people when I am on my khaki it is like I am one highly paid civil servant official on a federal level

It was the other way round before. Both police and soldiers.
Hmm

Even as a Yoruba man I know Anambra federal is the best federal in Nigeria

the same here in ndokwa east local government in Delta state ,

I remember in Kano during my NYSC.

I served in the town.

When going to buy food at Sabon Gari market, I remember few occasions where a trader would want to increase the price because I wore NYSC uniform.

But most of the time, I didn't wear the uniform, so no one knew.
