Rookie Gist

I wish I was a man, life is so much easier for men. ~ Phyna says

I met a young girl selling water inside the traffic not quite long, I knew the price but always like to be sure. When I asked of the price she said N400, and I was like "Ah ah, no be N300 again?". She now said, "Oya take". This young lady wanted to run me street, as I switched to pidgin the price dropped instantly. The level of greed in this country is unbelievable, the people are just as bad as the leaders.

Where I play ball, there’s this woman who shows up every Saturday morning with chilled zobo and tigernut drink. She shares it to everyone for free, no money, no stress. Naturally, everybody likes her. It was only today I found out she’s actually the wife of the man who owns the pitch. That “free” drink? It’s strategy. It keeps all of us coming back every weekend, and once you’re there, you’re already spending. Each player pays 3kpa to play, bottled water is 5H, and before you know it, you’ve spent close to 5k. Now she’s taken it a step further, she just launched a side business at the same pitch. She sells and rents out boots, sells jerseys, socks, bibs… everything you need to play. And she’s making serious money from it. In simple terms… She gave us free drinks, built loyalty, then positioned herself to collect the money in every other way. Smart Igbo woman business move😂

First tweet of the year and it’s a big one.🤭 On April 29th, I was inducted into Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. A journey that began in 2019 as a 5-year course stretched into 7 years is finally over. God did. Obisesan A.E
