[b]Controlling the open market to prevent bulk buyers from causing scarcity for small retail buyers involves implementing various measures and strategies:
Regulatory Policies: Implement regulations to prevent hoarding and price manipulation by bulk buyers. This may include setting limits on the quantity of goods an individual or entity can purchase within a specific timeframe.
Market Monitoring: Establish mechanisms for monitoring market activities to detect irregularities such as hoarding or price gouging. This could involve regulatory bodies, market surveillance teams, or technology-driven solutions like data analytics to track market trends and detect anomalies.
Price Controls: Consider implementing price controls or price ceilings on essential food items to prevent excessive price hikes that disproportionately affect small retail buyers. However, this approach should be carefully implemented to avoid unintended consequences such as black markets or reduced supply due to unprofitability.
Supply Chain Management: Improve supply chain management to ensure efficient distribution of goods from producers to retailers. This includes addressing logistical challenges, improving infrastructure, and promoting transparency and fairness in the supply chain.
Support for Small Retailers: Provide support and incentives for small retailers to enhance their purchasing power and competitiveness. This could include access to credit, training programs, and cooperative purchasing arrangements to leverage economies of scale.
Market Information: Facilitate access to timely and accurate market information for both bulk buyers and small retailers. This empowers market participants to make informed decisions and reduces the likelihood of sudden shortages or price spikes.
Promote Competition: Encourage competition in the market by reducing barriers to entry for new players and fostering a diverse supplier base. This can help mitigate the dominance of large bulk buyers and create a more level playing field for small retailers.
Public Awareness and Education: Raise public awareness about responsible consumption practices and the impact of hoarding on market stability. Educating consumers about their rights and responsibilities can help foster a culture of fair trade and discourage speculative behavior.
By implementing a combination of regulatory measures, market monitoring, supply chain improvements, support for small retailers, and promoting competition and consumer education, authorities can better control the open market and mitigate the adverse effects of bulk buyers on small retail buyers.[/b]
Lawalemi: Take it easy with people, abeg. Some persons business are killed by this arbitrary prohibition. Give time for manufacturers to stop production. Same manner you arbitrarily killed Gokada, Opay and Max
jubrilcastle: U have said it all. It's just so annoying
It isn't. It's the same in the same everywhere else. The Kardashians have no talent yet they're worth billions.
It's all about the value you create to the largest number of people.
BBN contestants entertain millions. How many people does he help with his first class?
If, in the future, he's able to use his intellect and grow wealth to billions of dollars like the dude that was acquired by Blackrock, then we would celebrate him.
Even if you are the dullest in the world, once I have told you that the exam is going to contain A + B = C, then you should be able to pass and pass well.
Having your professor as a father is the kind of advantage that can give you a 5.0 in Engineering.
In the arts, it's not like that. You would need to be gifted, unless you are going to carry a written and prepared answer into the hall.
lilytender: Only the Eguns can legitimately claim to be indegenes of Lagos. Unfortunately for the Eguns, we Egbas, the Aworis and the usurping Kwarans have relegated the Eguns because the Eguns did not embrace Western Education in time
Dilijingsly: how can we arrive to that, any suppliment or things to eat
If she has become generally skinny, then she just needs to add more weight. It would probably affect the breasts too.
To make her gain weight, you just have to make sure she consumes more calories than she burns. Probably get a body weight scale, then increase her food portions systematically until her weight starts increasing.
Pull up a speech by Sundar, and pull up another speech of an India guy speaking English with his India accent and listen to both; you will see the difference.
Pull Ngozi speech and another with an Igbo guy speaking English with Igbo accent compare both.
Now to my reference to mainstream America accent, compare Sundar and Ngozi speech to mainstream cooperate Americans like Bloomberg, Oprah, etc you will seen that there is more similarities between their speech to these Americans compare to their Native India or Igbo.
Pull up a speech by Tinubu, and pull up a speech by a local Yoruba man speaking with his Yoruba accent and you will see the difference.
linearity: Sundar Pichai speaks with mainstream US accent, compare his speeches side-by-side with a native Indian speaking English and you will see the difference. I work with Indians as well, they are highly skilled and adjust their speaking skills as they move into management.
Ngozi had her initial career introduction in the USA, she speaks with the mainstream US accent. There are a hundred and one accents in the US, she uses the mainstream one. Again, no matter how you adjust in your speaking, there is also that foreign undertone from your native country and you hear that from Sundar and Ngozi.
Na wa O. Sundar Pichai and Ngozi sound like mainstream Americans?
Abi what is your definition of mainstream US accent?
linearity: I have the same pedigree as you and those jobs e.g. Engineering, Architect, etc you mentioned are mid-level job.
Also you are discounting the reality that, there are many Programmers who are equally as good or better than you and the employees have to make decisions based on other criterias.
Many Engineering and Programming jobs also include the requirement to be an effective communicator. As an Engineer after doing my designs, I have to stand in front of upper management to do Presentations, in some cases convince them about my design solution against another solution, communicating in an accent they do not understand will not go a long way.
Also High End Presale Network Architects, who go into Boardrooms to convince CEOs, Presidents and Company Directors to adopt a new technology from their provider must be good communicators and in many cases, the only option is to speak in the common accent everyone at the table understands.
Low & Midl evel Engineers or Programmers who just interact with keyboards don’t need these skills.
Lol. Have you heard Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, speaking? Does he use a fake accent? Most Indian-born people in the US speak English with their native accent. Doesn't prevent them from being hot cakes. The person you're responding to also gave an example of Okonjo Iweala.
Opportuneke: Somehow funny we have a lot of graduates lavishing out there😁
Actually English language doesn’t belong to us yet we are so outstanding In it and I see no reason why we can’t normalize speaking our indigenous languages like Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Benin, efik, ibibio and the host of others.🧐
Why? To further entrench the identity of these tribes and create more room for tribalism.
DARLINGTON869: Not surprised atal. She obviously had a good education but Nigeria as usual happened to her. If only you know how many Uber drivers and commercial bus drivers that are educated to the teeth, this woman's speech in this video wouldn't surprise you at all
This isn't true. She just has an accent. Doesn't mean that she's well educated.
MatrixReloaded: Royal criminals that are entitled to the government of the people by the people and for the people. If a Nigeria royal family can gulp a nation wealth through state incentives what is left for the servants and the citizens of the state. Too many royal family to feed the nations. Why are we then a federation and not an empire.
aieromon: 1. What you call refineries are just "makeshift boilers" constructed to distill kpofire aka low quality diesel, kerosene and petrol.
2. Crude oil is stolen from compromised pipelines. This is the only motivation for the illegal business. Take away the awoof stock and they will all abandon the hazardous activity.
Kingsley123456: It was last week Thursday, before my journey to Ekiti for my sister's budgeted wedding, ..couldn't even remember what took my mind to Dammy my Ex girlfriend, the last time we talked was almost one and a half yr ago...after trying 2 to 3 numbers offhand, I got the right contact to her and we talked mostly about life and location,...to my surprised last night when I returned home , we chatted and she asked me if I could afford to impregnate her even without being responsible for the pregnancy and the child, she said "I don't need husband or sugar daddy but I need a baby" Apart from the fact that she's older than me , I have a 12yr old daughter already, and I have my girlfriend currently (not the mother of my child) so it's obvious I won't marry her, But should I help her? but I'm scared she wouldn't stop on a child , she will need more sooner or later.. Advice me my people, what do I do ?? I know what she's feeling, she's 38yrs old now.
Congrats. You have your picture and chats all over nairaland.
manee2: My ex broke up with me while I was accomodating her brother, and she's married now. I saw this as motivation, moved and doubled down on my hustle and lost communication with both of them. As I was trying to find my bearings, within a year two of my friends had already kicked me out of their house. About 3 months ago she contacted me through FB and asked for my phone number for her brother. He needed my help, under the guise of trying to start his life over. All his friends he hung out with turned their backs on him.
Having learned life the hard way, I have become an introvert who easily feels uncomfortable around the people around me. I discovered that I did better on my own.
Regardless of that, I put up with it and regret it because I'm embarrassed and slowly losing focus. Although he is supportive, but he has Diogenes syndrome. Being so kind-hearted, I don't know how to ask him to leave my space.
Grow some balls. Flatly tell him to leave. If not you'll end up being passive aggressive and do something foolish.
Never be afraid of conflict bro. That's what makes you a man.

If Mr Happy hour can turn his idea to a weekend relaxation tourism like US Las Vegas , Dubai Akwa ibom would make alot of cool IGR
Imagine flying Ibom Air to Uyo cheaply at #50k, book an hotel for the happy hours #50k, visit a concert organized by the government, visit some cool casino spot built by the government
.
Do you have sense? Built by the government? In this Nigeria? You can't see how that would fail woefully?
jeromestarks: Never date a single mother. Those ones are operating under a different level of curse. There is a reason men who fvcked her didn't stay in her life. Don't use your head to carry curse. Despise a single mother at all cost.
Do you know that Jeff Bezos' mum was a single mother with Jeff Bezos? If Mr Bezos was thinking like you, he won't be the father to the world's richest man today.
