He knew the price was high but still bought it just to motivate the woman. I do that when enough money enter , also when I see a village woman sitting on the tarred road just to sell small wares, will just patronise her even when I didn't budget it.

Abeg God bless me ooo!

As long as you are not part of those that complain about inflation, then you are good to go.


Buying from people at the road side is also not an issue. It's a decision you have to make yourself.

Ninisun:
Please do you price goods at supermarkets or ShopRite? No ABI, but you go price sotey the poor woman go tire.

Supermarket owners are not f00ls. They struggle with price wars and many of them even offer discounts on items just to stay ahead. No sensible manager will place unreasonable price tags on items. They don't behave like the criminals in your typical local markets.

As per your question; when I see an overpriced item, I simply walk away.

uvie66:
no I disagree with you... one thing I have noticed about market traders is that they will sell to according to your haggling power and your presentation. In this case it is possible that an Okada rider may buy the same plantation for 1200k

Are you sure? Are you sure your landlord wouldn't increase rent because some yahoo boys came to him with a better offer?

77up:
Paying exorbitantly for the goods not worth it is another problem you guys creates in this country simply because you can afford it.

Go to market , #50 pepper, those women will be telling you it's #200 , go to boutique, 3k jeans , they will tell you its 10k, just because you all can afford it , you are indirectly causing problem for the country purchasing power.

This semi ripe banana for 2k !

The 2k seems small, na why dem no send. Na where God go catch them na when they need to buy an overpriced item in millions.

These people are major contributors to the inflation we complain about everyday. There are many ways to give. Allowing yourself get cheated is tantamount to creating problems for more people.

Many people today cannot pay rent, thanks to yahoo boys. These boys are also "helping" baba landlord in their own way.

sukkot:
well i dont make it a duty to get cheated. but do you believe donating 10 percent of your salary to your pastor is getting cheated ? we all get cheated one way or the other. i choose how i want to get cheated.

Donating my money to anyone is not cheating, whether it is pastor or sango. But paying for an overpriced item is not only cheating but an attempt to alienate the poor and other valued and prospective buyers

Saintmary:
Haaaa. Acidosis, a virgin man in Nigeria above the age of 30, maybe we have one or two left out of 200 million.


You're funny.

I know right

What do you mean "you don't mind getting cheated"?

Baba, you've only made life more difficult for other buyers who cannot afford to pay 2k for a N500 plantain.

This is not how to give. You're a major contributor to the level of extortion in Nigerian markets.

Thank you for raising and releasing another greedy fellow into the Nigerian marketplace. The next person that will try to negotiate or offer even 1k for this same plantain will go back home with curses, all thanks to you "omo baba olowo."

Maxymilliano:
We urge the Army General to be calm and law abiding and not to take law into his hands as we the citizens are carefully looking into the matter to make sure those criminals are brought to justice

LMAO This thread na cruise HQ

I feel some schools do too much sef haba. What's your business with swimming lessons? Activities like swimming should be the parents' responsibility abeg. This "forced exposure" in the name of competition is extremely needless.

pocohantas:
As in ehn. E shock you?

I shock die The thing be like primary school relationship

Alaigbopress:
She posted a WhatsApp Status requesting that anyone who mention her Boy Friend's name will get a credit card rewards and most of her friends were mentioning her Ex's name and she was cool to post the screenshots of where they mentioned her ex's name.

Elporo:
Telling a modern Nigerian woman to quit her job is as simple as telling her to be a "WIFE". Which means it will be harder to fvck; Eric her jobless boyfriend. Yeah, he's the guy she gave a Mouth Gig after your wedding reception. . I am looking at you Mrs. Independent

The things women with slave roles (regular jobs) do at work can only shock a naive man.

A big difference between a married woman and a wife. Jov*alJune can be married to Acidosis but Salome the househelp is his wife.

Nigerian girls want to be married, but not ready to be wives. However, they demand you become a "husband". My advice to Acidosis; let Jov*alJune play "I am Mrs." while Salome plays "WIFE".

Salome's pics below .

LMAO


Wetin you smoke, guy?!

Austine567:
what about the lady would she be happy about it? Especially when ladies loves to show off on their wedding day.

This is why we advise people to embrace low-key weddings or get things done their way.

Just see the way you're troubling yourself over nothing. Ehya. Even the the people who introduced this groomsmen rubbish no longer value weddings and marriages

My advice to anyone without a very sound discerning spirit is to avoid churches with unexplainable large crowd. That's always the number one sign.

Number two sign of a FAKE and diabolic MOG is RING. If you have any ring on your finger that's not a wedding band, you're either a diabolic socerer or a worldly MOG. Either ways, you're already a candidate of hell. So I'll pass.

Too many MOGs looking for people to destroy lately. A nobody will just embark on a trip to Ghana, come back with a big ring, give himself a Bishop or Apostle title, and in less than 6 months, the church is already booming

cococandy:
Yet you managed to cum. Okay

Emersonjay:
From there his next stop should be Iragbiji and he should remain there permanently!

LMAO! Iragbiji people have suffered on Nairaland

That number 1 will put an end to ESN bla bla in 1 week. Place a N50m bounty on all ESN/IPOB leaders and sponsors. Na their mama go first drag them out.

Mariangeles:
So on point!

When you have money, you'd realize that there are so many things you'd rather pay to get done than do.
For the domestically lazy, money is an escape.

With vendors everywhere on IG waiting to take your orders

Mariangeles:
The issue is much more than domestic economy.
It is also about being productive and feeling fulfilled.
Those are too much of a sacrifice to ask of a person against their will.

Yeah. I agree. A sense of fulfillment is key.

Raalsalghul:
"Money is the easiest thing to contribute in a marriage" yet most marriages fail due to lack of the same thing that is easy to contribute?

That is just outright nonsense, though I'm sure you know that and this is one of those days where you choose to pander to a certain demographic on Nairaland.

Not only marriage. Money is the easiest thing to contribute (for those who have it), in any situation. That statement does not apply to those who do not have it. You can't contribute what you do not have in the first place (whether it is money or cooking skills)

I have been in a community of people who don't like to get their hands dirty. I'm sure you have been in that situation. Sometimes, you want to hold a small party but instead of cooking and cleaning stuff, you simply pay someone or go to a lounge or something.

When you take the statistics of men who prepare their launch at home and comparewith those who pay a catering service, you'll understand the basis of that statement.

TheCongo2:
The commitment part makes the whole difference

Oh...okay

If staying at home makes economic sense, why not?

kayperry:
Easy to MAKE Easy to CONTRIBUTE, oshey ! leaves me wondering why women still hold on to "her money is OFF limit" and why single moms are mostly bitter & complaining ... maybe paying bills is not "Easy" in reality

You cannot contribute what you do not have na. By contribution, I am assuming the man has the money.


If I have the option to contribute money OR my cleaning and cooking skills, I def will prefer the former.

Munzy14:
In some marital union, the wife bears the burden more than the husband.

While in some, the husband does more.

As for OP's case presented, I come to realize some men tends to be with the wrong women...From a problem mother, to a problem sisters, to problem girl friends and finally a problem wife...

Next is to sit down, think negatively and put up some thoughts as hypothesis and project on feeble minds.

It is really a blessing being in a home with functional parents, then stepping up to have a functional girl friend/boy friend and lastly a next level with a functional wife/husband....

Some people never get to experience that...

One must be mindful of what they read, listen to or watch...it will surely have a big influence in the long run.

Exactly. Individual experiences go a long way in shaping people's views online.

TheCongo2:
My answer would be "You have slept with the single girl but you never slept with my wife".

What's the difference abeg?

poshestmina:
Only me oh .

I think they are too much for you to accept and live with. Try to overcome some nah.

Bresssss and full cream Dano milk

bukatyne:
The thunder that would fire them is doing press up.

They don't know what wives are doing yet revere their moms because she 'toiled and sacrificed' in the marriage.

My sister is angry

Wike should ban Islam in Rivers.


Anyone caught serving any other god or calling any name asides from Jesus should be charged for blasphemy.

Everybody can be ma.d at the same time and it's totally fine.

That would be so nice. Port Harcourt or Lagos would be a great place for them.

bukatyne:


If you read the OP, you would think all women do in marriages is have sex and get pregnant.

Maybe that's what their mothers did.

Because I don't know how someone grew in/saw a functional and loving home and still say women/men do nothing/contribute in marriages.

Lol. Very strange.

I believe most of them know the truth but they hate to admit this truth, openly.


I don't think any sane person would conclude that women benefit more in the typical Nigerian marriage setting. Same marriages we see everyday? The way I dey pity some married women ehn, but it's quite understandable why many women would want a marriage anyway.

Women sacrifice time, put their health and lives on the line, go for the lowest and most pitiable jobs just to create time for, more often than not, an unappreciative guy. Many will have to cook for the rest of their lives and no they won't get paid for it. There's so much more. A woman with 3 kids, for example, has practically sacrificed at least 8 years of her life on pregnancy, breastfeeding, nurturing (while also making money o), and throughout these years, the man does nothing but contribute money.

A man will drop 50k for the month and thinks he has done the woman a favour... Ahahaha! The easiest thing to contribute to a marriage is money.
