2) I don't support ALL idealogies of Nnamdi Kanu

3) I don't live in the North

4) Non of my family members lives in the North

5) I don't even live in Nigeria

6) I'm talking about some people I had an encounter with who happened to be from Plateau state, I can't remember when 3-5 people from Plateau state, represents the whole Middle belt made up of 6 states with dozens of tribes, languages and states

Did you do Research at all in School?

Is this how to pacify Middle belt people
I Taya for some of una, have you seen your Jamb results or was it seized by Jamb due to malpractice

Kindly respect yourself and go back to your tribal wars, and keep attacking Igbos in Biafra related threads

6) Carry your propaganda and angry to another thread....

If you go to the market and speak Hausa language for an Hausa Onion seller, he will pack onions of #800 and sell it for you at #300....True Story

Just because you spoke the language, even though you're not fluent......


Now go to an Igbo man's shop if you like speak in 17 different Igbo dialects, you ain't getting anything free

Very bizarre... But I believe the OP is up to some anti- Igbo mischief. He's already throwing some silent jabs. I know what he stands for.

In a few months we'll chase him and his family out of Biafra for good. He comes from a family of traitors and saboteurs.

Nice story but this is not true.

I was born and raised in the east, I learned trade in the west, I learned work in North Central, started life in another north central state and relocated to real North some years ago.

Work has taken me to "at least" 15 states in Nigeria So I have mixed with Nigerians enough to know when you're lying.

No, Language does not reduce price of goods in North, knowing how to bargain with a northerner does. Here's what I mean, in most cases, when a northerner tells you that the price of good is let's say N1000, the actual price is well below N500.
Bargain with any language of your choice and you will still get price reduction.

Also note that some of them are farmers, they sale based on the urgency of their need and they do not know how to preserve some of their goods.

I once bought 35 tubers of yam from a farmer in Ikobi (Benue state) with just 3000. Reason? I bought directly from the farmer and before he harvested them. I did the harvesting myself.


Mind you that this price reduction isn't applicable in well established stores that document their sales.

Coming to Igbos, what you said is true. An Igbo man has a fixed price for any good and he doesn't sell below it except if he's going to buy more goods the next day.

Why? Because majority document whatever they sell and calculate, gains loss expenses at the end of the day.

One important thing to note is that an Igbo man will refuse to remove N10 from the price of an item but the same igbo man will give N200 bike money when you're going.

Business is not charity and northerners do the same thing in well established shops.

No need bringing Yorubas into this so I will stop here but write it somewhere in your hearts that Yorubas are among the nicest people I have met on earth.



You started nicely, please don't tribalize your own thread.

Csami:


Beautiful! So you fit write like this yet you dey mix yourself for all this tribal brouhaha.

My advice; Get off this tribal slur and write about your many travel experiences and the nice people you've met. I love wide travellers.

abeg everyone has a story to tell, u served in ebonyis state,where they treated me like a king,yet they know me from nowhere.

let me ask you, can you sell your goods to anyone as low as the cost price because he speaks your language? @poster
secondly,work on your " the" and they"
there are many good people and bad people out there.
most Hausa's get their goods directly from farmland where it very cheap,so they go and sell it at any price they deem fit. can you go to a Hausa man selling provisions, and expect him to sell to you at the cost price because you speak his language, make una take this propaganda very easy.
if they so much love themselves why would they kill shittes faithfus because they practice different religion, why would they still have almajiri in large numbers, poverty in quantum, yet they have the richest the most number of President etc,
if dangote had come from anywhere in the east ,and we have poor people coming out from his village or his village roads are bad or lack basic amenities, you will see people hurling insult at him.
Igbo people are very individualistic at the same time help each other .
sometimes in it depends on the helper and the" helper"

Work on your Punctuations..

Work on your paragraphs.

Work on the use of your Capital letters, know when to end a sentence, and always remember that, on the start of a new sentence or a new paragraph, the first letter should be in Capital
Also, after a Full stop, the next letter must be in Capital
Articulate your points in order.

Mechanical accuracy of your write up is very poor..
The mistakes in your write up eh , better ask your English teacher for a Refund .
The wasted your time

And you have the guts to correct me, Nairaland sha, home of Comedians

BTW,

People kill each other, for different reasons, this is not always tribal..

Some due to rituals, religious beliefs, jealousy, money ..

Otokoto, osisikankwu killed dozens of Igbos
