Twice the amount ke? Babe that plantain isn't worth 500 Naira oh.

Sukkot I don't think it's nice to encourage people to cheat. If you want to 'dash' her money, do so separately after paying the actual price.

Acidosis:
According to biblical standards (not your sentiments), that woman may not make heaven.

Psalm 62:10 “Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods.

Just appreciate and justify whatever you want but leave heaven out of this. Heaven will not rejoice over fraud and extortion.

Well the truth of the matter is that, it's never the woman's fault to have sold the plantains like that..Location might be a cause and we don't even know how much she bought the plantains..who knows whether all she gained from just that bunch is not even up to #200

Sometimes I pity this old women

wirinet:
Quit that rubbish. A God that was supposed to have created the universe doesn't need to blackmail you for money. You cannot give anything valuable to God outside praise and worship according to real Christianity.

The doctrine of tithes is 419 pastors are using to live extravagant lives off their poor members.

May God open your eyes!

sukkot:
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..

sukkot:
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.
