So simple to assume.
Can you differentiate between “need” and “want” please?

Needs are essentials that you can not live or do without having.

You can live or do without Wants.


E.g . You cannot do without food and water,but you can live or do without DSTV or phone😃


You can also break down your Needs.

E.g you can do without buying certain food items more so when they are expensive and beyond your means.At that point,they become want and not needs if there are cheaper foods that can keep body and soul together.

sell fried akara and yam...then thank me later ...just look for a busy bus stop like enerhen junction, sedico round about, or by the mother of the redeemer school

Oga Buhari and Tinubu don cast petty businesses.

You buy a tuber of yam for 4k after selling it, when you return to buy another one it'll be 6k. This is why the business is struggling.

Naira is not static so also is goods and businesses are suffering it.

Of course!

They are secondary to major food or feeding needs.

Circumstances also determine your needs.

Compare Gari and pap to Biscuit and Tapioca.

There's so much sabotaging in the country! I asked for prices of some items, these guys just load cost like say they wan buy yatch !!! Things are tough but we shouldn't create false market impression by inflating prices at astronomical rates!

Greed will kill the economy as much as bad governance

Bro, I have my Business, so I understand the Woman perfectly. undecided

Years back before Buhari and his DISASTER brother Tinibu came, When you make profit in your business, you could save it well. smiley

In Warri then, We heard of Akara and Bole women who used their Profit Savings to train their children in UNIBEN and Delsu, Abraka. shocked smiley

But now, any Profits you make in Business is used to buy Expensive Stuffs in the market. E.g. Garri. embarassed sad

funny how one person wants to increase prices of goods and expect other commodities not to increase aswell.

we go soon dey carry money full ghana must go to enter t-fare soon.

a vial of Xalacom i buy for my mom for her glaucoma treatment that was 5,500 to 6k is now 24,200 a very small eye drop oh that last for just 3 weeks oh.

Imagine if someone that sells garri in the market depends on this same drug how do they survive? Theyll definitely inflate their prices too.

You people will leave the root cause of why this is happening and be wailing upandan

APC will finish this country kpatakpata. Their policies go ruin this country eventually they should continue grin.

I dont feel any sympathy for her cos as crazy as it sounds she might have voted APC and come 2027 might still do it again for 3k lol

Haba. You are the one closest to understanding her real issue but ended up spoiling your points by calling her children useless.
Her liability far exceeds what that business can support. Her husband is her number 1 liability , with her children makes 7 . When liabilities far exceed assets, it is poverty.

Hmmm,

That's the case of many Businesses in Nigeria since the Devillish Party called APC came to power in 2015. embarassed undecided

Purchasing Power of Nigerians are now low, hence many Businesses are struggling.
Even if your Business booms, your Profits will be used to buy Inflated food and household items in the market.😕😒

E no go better for Buhari, Tinibu and their YEYE supporters! sad
It is really devilish & hellish & cursed...May no nation under the sun ever experience this kind of government

When they tell u say Nigeria is not for u and u are there still claiming that na we get the con3.

A friend of my in the UK told me that he wanted to setup a biz in Nigeria. The only question I asked him is that I hope he is not expecting profit from the biz.

Because, for any biz u wanted to site in Nigeria now, u must know that the purchasing power of the people has been run down to zero. So, how are they going to buy whatever services that u want to provide.
