oh i am not justifyng myself . i make threads like this all the time about how i value peoples efforts and overpay them. i had a thread last year which went viral about how rain got in my car and then i had some guys drain it and i saw all the effort they put into draining the car and i gave them more than what they asked for. i make threads like this all the time about how peoples labors are not rewarded well in nigeria. i believe its with my other ID. so this is who i am. i just wanted to create another thread with this plantain thats all but i do stuff like this ALL THE TIME. i can buy gala on the street and give the guy 500 naira for one gala. its my way of paying tithes to people who are trying hard. its better than giving one rich pastor who has 10 private jets lol

now guys understand that i somehow have the feeling that i got cheated. in fact i know i got cheated but i would need you guys to tell me if i got cheated or i did well. but that is not the story. the story is this so she brought the plantain. six in total and said 2000 and i knew right away i was being cheated but see sometimes as humans we have to look past this being possessive with our money stuff. you have to once in a while ( or frequently ) reward people who are trying and making an effort to succeed. dont always feel the need to squeeze every last drop of your change out of people or to beat peoples prices down to the point where they cant make a living themselves. ALWAYS have some bit of compassion for people and think about their survival too. stop pricing down people to where they can hardly make a living after working so hard

and so back to my story i looked at this woman, she is sitting under the sun all day i looked at her tray, there is maybe like 7 bunches of plantain in there. am thinking if she sells all today she gets 14000 but of course she bought the plantain somewhere else so she has to pay for the plantain too so at the end of the day what is her profit margin ? maybe for herself for the whole day maybe 3000 ? and she will buy food while sitting there for 10 hours so maybe she takes home 2000 ? she looked like she has children she will have bills and expenses etc etc etc. MY POINT IS THAT I KNEW I WAS GETTING CHEATED BY BUYING THAT PLANTAIN FOR 2000 BUT I DIDNT MIND GETTING CHEATED BECAUSE SOMETMES YOU JUST HAVE TO REWARD PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING SO HARD. AND SO I GAVE HER THE 2000 AND HOPE HER LIFE IS FINE.

i will give you an analogy about living conditions. you can be a vulcaniser in lekki phase 1and just to blow air inside somes tire is 200 per tire. and for 4 tires its 800 naira. yo can have 20 customers a day and make 20000 naira but the place you are making the money is an expensive area so when you want to eat lunch you will spend like 2000. OR you can live at ile epo oja where the place is economically rundown and to put air in someones tire is 30 naira per tire and that is 120 for the whole set and a day you can make 3000 naira and for lunch food is cheap because it is a poor area and you can eat lunch for 200 naira. so the guy in lekki makes 20,000 but his lunch is 2000 and his profit is 18000 or you can live in ile epo oja where you make 3000 and lunch is 200 and profit is 2800 a day. the choice is yours. i choose to live in expensive area where i can make big money but of course prices of things are more expensve too. its give and take

Ehn, so if it's your way of appreciating value and you don't care, what's the point of this topic?

Like, I can not reconcile the fact that you're feeling 'cheated' to the fact you say this is a normal thing you do all the time.

So, which one? You be kind person abi you no be kind person?

Every single person who disagrees with you,
to tell you why that feels like cheating to them, fiam, you quote them to tell them it's not really XYZ, or trying to make them see what is not.

Asin, IF you are just going to disagree on what overpaying and cheating means, WHY did you create this thread? I don't used to understand some of these things sometimes sha where people will come and create threads about something they bought in the market, and they will start disagreeing with everybody in the thread.

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 !

keep in mind 2000 is chicken change to me ( GOD is good ). its like dababy who bought popcorn and gave the popcorn guy 100 dollars for a bag of popcorn. that means he paid 60000 naira for a bag of popcorn. should he be flogged ? or is he just looking at the degradation of the human condition and in his own little way is offering relief ?

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

its my way of paying tithes. i dont give tithes to rich pastors but yet i see the need to help those who are struggling sometimes. this is how i help people who are struggling. i pay them what they want without asking for discount but first i would access the situation
1- you are hardworking and trying your best
2-of course you will be offering me something in return which i would then overpay for..

The market where I reside is the head quarters of plantain market in Lagos. I'm just pained that you could have gotten not less than three fat bundles with your #2k. If you need me to supply you plantain next time just let mr know. My number is 08073576467. It's on the mainland though.
