Image123:It doesnt. The beauty of democracy is the ability to support who you want and majority carry the votes while everyone remains on course for the betterment of the country without bile or snide thoughts. God sparing our lives, Nigeria is in for a good ride and none of your favorites will be at the helm of it. It's as clear as noonday.You dont know my favorites, if they exist at all. Most assuredly, just as Manna has gone silent, a time will come when you will be the same. |

You forget to talk about market agents who will ask you what you need and immediately you say it they will tell you they have it. you should follow them to their shop, and when they got to the shop they will pose as the real owner giving orders to the real people there, while adding big money to the goods you want to purchase. At the end of the day they go home with cool cash. Huzle dey! |

I totally disagree with number 3. There's one adage I love so much which says: "There's no victory at a bargain prize" before going to the market, the buyer has approximately the budget of whatever he/she wants to buy. The seller also has a prize he/she wants to sell his/her own goods. Lets say a seller bought an item you want to buy for #5000. He or she is expecting to make a gain untop that 5k, and there's no telling the amount of he or she intends to add to that cost prize. He or she can decide to sell it for 6k, 8k, 10k or even 100k provided he or she prays and hope for such customers and there's no crime in it. Customers in turn as I said earlier already have their budget in mind. Most of those customers have their budget at the range of that 6k, 8k, 10k or the 100k. So any category from that 6k upwards that falls for the seller is all gain to he or she. And also the customer is pleased with it cus that's what he or she already budgeted for the said goods. . So saying the seller will laugh behind the back of the customer for buying the said items costly doesn't makes sense. It pleases both the seller and the buyer with that bargain prize that's why I love my favorite adage so much. "THERE'S NO VICTORY AT A BARGAIN PRIZE" Nobody wins, not the seller nor the customer. You also knows sellers at times sell at cost prize or even at a lost, but use those humongous gains to cover up. So in this case, it was the customer's lucky day. |

5. Never Follow Strangers Claiming ‘I Get Better Price Inside’ You’ll hear people whispering, “Madam, come, I get original inside.” Don’t follow them. Many have been led into shady corners only to be scammed or robbed. Stick to the open stalls. |

Kalulu44:You did not look well. Try again, preferably in a market after its dark. Also look under the tables of the market women, especially those ones who are bleached and have tooth-pick legs with different colors, red, green and purple. |
