Obayemi Mark retweetet
At the market today, a woman told me 5 pieces of yam is ₦12k.
I priced it down to ₦5k. She said ₦6k last last.
I said ₦5k. She said no.
I went round the market, the cheapest I saw was ₦7k.
So I went back to her.
Now she said ₦8k last last
We dragged it, she refused and even started insulting me. I left.
On my way out, I ran into my bike man, I described the woman’s shop to him and told him:
“Help me price it ₦5k or ₦5,500 max. Buy 10 pieces if she agrees.”
This man went there…
She agreed to ₦5,500.
He bought 10 pieces.
He called me to bring a bag to carry it.
When I got there, the woman just said:
“You…”
She couldn’t complete the sentence.
She just stood there looking at me like she saw a gh0st...
