This is very funny. My setup is over 1.5million and I still plan to upgrade next year. Shoot with what you have bro!! 😁😂😂😂😂

This is pretty petty . Why not buy on temu

Business isn't a charity. The businessman owes you nothing.

If you can import it and sell below the competition, then go ahead.

Na so them talk about cars, phones, etc.

Excessive gain is not business, it's wickedness, evil, and it reeks of dishonesty.

We've seen the works of VDM in China, and we've seen the outcome. Now we know that the inflation and high cost of living we suffer here aren't just about the government....na ordinary Nigerians dey do each other. Na because of evil importers nai make common man no fit buy common things...and no fit enjoy common services. But I still blame the government for not regulating prices.

The average Nigerian mind is, perhaps, evil. Again, VDM don prove this one.

Business is not charity, true. But does this mean a businessman should get a thing for N100, (let's say the cost of logistics - Importation, etc - is N50) and sell it for N600? 300% gain?

Make we reason this matter well.

The quality of your camera means jack... nothing.

What matters is your ability to keep people watching and coming back for more.

Fixyourscrip not your camera.

Yeah bro. Since I had low retentions on some of my videos that was when I knew my hook was bad. If your first 20-30 seconds hooks are bad then the video will be a waste no matter the quality.

My point is or the tragedy is not what if you said is true.

The tragedy is that if that's the truth, why don't others go into importation and fill I'm the gap?

That's why I don't blame businessmen.

True, if others go into importation, competition will stabilize things. The other sad thing here is, those going into importation are already corrupt, and oriented by the evil big names in the business....so, they go in and play along.
My point is that of morality. Is it moral to put extensive profits on top a cost price? This pursuit for gain, to what extent is it acceptable? Where do we draw the line? What's the purchasing power of a majority of Nigerians?

This is one major reason things are expensive in Nigeria. Life is hard. Families are struggling to feed. People are struggling to survive. Crime rates are climbing. Depression, diseases, everything bad is getting worse. We all thought it was the government's fault....alone. We now know that na we dey do ourselves. We wicked true, true.

Survival of the fittest.....but how many people come dey fit sef?

Importation all over the world is a high margin business.

But then again, that's if we don't factor in overheads and other costs.
