Business / Re: Greedy Seller's Sudden Increase Sparks Tension (video) by sweetgala(m): 6:11pm On Mar 05 |
SoNature: Really! Evidently there are many cash and carry. Container businessmen in Nigeria I can opt to sell goods I have on hand which I purchased at an earlier date at a lower price at a "discount" It may be a discounted rate to the buyer but I may be able to cover my cost from the transaction or break even when I include my overheads or just to stop the loss from holding dead weight. Holding onto stock is itself a loss because you have limited storage capacity. This is why the Asians make much better business people they understand trade and stock management. The nature of business is a risk and that must be given due consideration when securing funds, loans, planning bulk purchases and marketing the product. This is what is called truly knowing your market. That seller is better off selling at 160k than sitting on those doors for another 1 week waiting for another 40k profit to balance restock. There is an overhead cost to keeper dead weight stock. Before you say nonsense I worked in major consumer electronics retail for an European chain around 2010 we were doing 500k daily, on boxing day Xmas period 2M was normal , I was close to the regional manager nice British bloke and he schooled a few of us on basic stock management and planning. He would wake up one morning look at a few items left-over from a large shipment that have been sitting for 1 month eg 10 TVs left from a shipment of 600, he'll look at the costs, some overheads and apply a stockroom premium let's say 2cents per day since it's been dead weight and we'll throw them on a discount pile and clear space for more items inbound. Because truly it cost money to keep those items and usually that discount pile would be gone in less than 4hours, a real consumer economy is one that understand impulse purchases and how humans reason when rationalising a purchase Walmart , Tesco Eurogint, lidl aldi, Asda etc are not daft when they plan reduced prices. The decisions are tactical and not arbitrary and increase in prices are neither too 1 Like |

Daystar7: Even if he made a part payment if you have issued a receipt stating the total price to be paid, the deposit paid and the balance to be collected the deal is done, the transaction is sealed and can only be renegotiated with the consent of all parties. |

Omoapena: The buyer doesn't need to be issued a receipt for the transaction to be completed, the transfer of funds is enough. Howeve a receipt is proof of transaction and in a legal matter settles the conflict in the favour of the buyer. 1 Like |

OlujobaSamuel: His markup should be on the restocked items not the ones he himself bought at a lower price. Your argument is daft at best, imagine you receive a contract to supply 20 bags of feed and you agree the price and you receive the funds and invoice the transaction, only to then tell the buyer the next day when the goods are to be collected that the price has gone up since yesterday and so he should add money to collect the goods you are infact commuting a crime of theft. |

Crime / Re: Spanish Blogger On India Motorcycle Tour Gang-raped by sweetgala(m): 5:08pm On Mar 05 |
Jeon: You can get robbed in your house with the criminals applying caution or you can get assaulter and robbed while sitting in traffic. Do tell which would be give you pause about how you live your life. A situation where a woman can't have confidence of traveling from work to home etc without the worry of being sexually assaulted is a very serious societal issue that should give one pause. Do you understand the severity of the matte , an individual has been casually assaulted and raped in public without any fear of consequence by the perpetrators. |
Crime / Re: Yunusa Jibrin Invents AI Tool To Identify Bandits by sweetgala(m): 7:32am On Mar 05 |
Johnjustice: You think villagers in Katsina and Zamfara are sheltering kidnappers and bandits willingly and refusing to give information to the army. What sort of delusion or ignorance is this that has befallen you. Banditry is a profitable business now in Nigeria because we have succumbed into paying kidnappers a kingly ransom and have not visited them with the correct amount of violence they deserve. Northern oligarchs and elites are themselves victims no different to any other part of Nigeria where crime has become entrenched. Do we use same rational for the SS and militancy, because there we have communities who have not done enough, their sons are either pirates , involved in oil bunkering, illegal refinery. They've driven away business, contaminated their rivers and rendered their region into poverty and underdevelopment, in fact the SS is by far the least developed section of Nigeria and by percentile the least educated. Or do we adapt your rational to the SE and ESN, we've seen people hail the ESN convoys as they drive past major towns on the way to their murderous adventures. Yet we are made to believe the people are victims. It's the duty of the government to apply violence to unrepentant terrorist wherever they may find them and in whatever way they present themselves and also bring justice and fury to deter other from contemplating such. The issue of banditry was born from the response of the previous governments to militancy, everyone is just stepping up to collect their portion of the national cake and some have opted to use violence to get to tye front of the line. It's time that government serve naughty children in the language their understand. May God save Nigeria. |

omniwater: Do you drive a motor vehicle sir, I always pray to God that I don't come across an unfortunate pedestrian or cyclist. Some months back this stupid boy saw me coming down the road and I saw him, he didn't have right of way he was attempting to cycle past the main road from standstill and as soon as I was within a few feet of him he started his poorly considered push and I had to jam on the brakes and turn the car away as I came to a halt within a few inches of him, I thought I was about to hit him but thank God because no matter what no one would give enough consideration to the driver. There are pedestrian crossing and cycle lanes for a good reason people should learn to use them, I cycle as well and I give motorists the respect they deserve. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Floating Of Naira Worst Economic Decision - PENGASSAN by sweetgala(m): 7:16am On Mar 05 |
Abagworo: Stop this nonsense of "absolutely float the Naira" or absolutely remove subsidy. These are difficult decisions and I'm glad Tinubu had the strength of will to do what was a necessary decision. All the three major candidates agreed that a parallel FX market and the act of defending the Naira with borrowings was not proper and it was only kicking the can down the road. What the CBN and FG have done is to let the market determine the value of the Naira, what they need to do as regulators is to with the EFCC and other law enforcement agencies go after rampant speculators. It's only in Nigeria that speculators go unchecked, try that in USA and you might be looking at a long jail term. Financial crimes of that nature are frowned at and rightly so. It's time that CBN continue to implement conventional monetary policies that guarantee the confidence of our currency while the FG need to cut cost all these jamboree flights to Qatar has to stop, the reckless spending of the legislative has to be curtailed. The only big items in the budget across board should be infrastructure development, healthcare and education. Should be wage cuts across board for all political appointees. That is the least Nigerians should seek 1 Like |

Namaster: Stop the nonsense, you're only saying this because he's not from your region. The NAF have been deploying drones lately in their fight against insurgency and one of tye major issues is the amount of square kilometres they have to cover while doing recon, if they can integrate AI into the imaging system they can deploy a recon drone which can linger for long periods over a large area they can even start to look into autonomous drones which they can plan a large coverage and rely on increasingly accurate detection. Because any human can easily miss a small indicator if he/she is staring at not much after 5-6 hours. |

Johnjustice: You mean the same ones I'm Katsina and Zamfara that have been killed in their thousands over the last few years. Just a few days ago we heard reports three major villages were sacked in Katsina. Zamfara is an almost lost cause. But alas you still insist the victims must negotiate with the criminals to end their suffering. Rather absurd The FG and the security apparatus of state and judicial system must wake up to it's responsibilities to secure the citizens as the constitution requires only then can they ask the victims to contribute as per the civic duty |

Women are assaulted and raped so casually in India, mobs of men just swamp a woman rape her and walk away like it's nothing. It's a serious societal issue 4 Likes |

socialmediaman: Are you done foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. What propaganda did the FG push that I'm extending. Was it not The Guardian which reported this arrest, it wasn't even the FG which made it public. Obidients can try inject themselves into all conversations but this one has nothing to do with their deranged postulations. I've been very clear many don't even understand the role of speculation on the FX in Nigeria. Beyond fiscal & monetary politicies of FG and CBN there is a less understood issue of Insidious demand for dollar it's become a second means of payment if that doesn't bother folls like yourself then I don't know what will. |

Travel / Re: Nigerian Woman Laments The Increasing Cost Of Living In Canada by sweetgala(m): 7:39am On Feb 29 |
OVB123: It's nothing to do with relocate back to Nigeria, but it is ridiculous the cost of living in Canada. I mean if you are putting more than 50% of your wages into accommodation you are statistically poor. I was in Philadelphia last year and I found the cost of food to be ridiculously high. A bag of doritos which would be £1.50 max here was like $4, milk eggs the basic stuff I found to be relatively expensive I couldn't get my head around it. And the quality wasn't better I'd say it was worse. We have friends in Canada and I've been told it's just crazy and the wages are not particularly more than you'd see in Europe. If you want to japa pls do if you have a proper plan but don't have it in mind it would be easier than Nigeria because for many people it really ain't, it's frustrating, tough and can be outright impossible for many new arrivals I've come across. Having someone a family friend to help you while you get going can be the difference. |
