Selling cement is such a humbling business.
My father owns a cement shop, and one of his regular prayer points was:
“God abeg, send customers. Make this thing no spoil for my hand.” 😂
One day, a distributor sent 250 bags of cement to him.
As usual, it was a "take now, pay after selling" arrangement.
But this batch stayed in the shop for too long.
He managed to sell about 100 bags, but the remaining 150 just sat there like nobody wanted cement again.
Then one day, he opened the shop and discovered the cement had started caking, even though it wasn’t placed directly on the ground.
He was heartbroken.
But instead of letting it waste, he bought truckloads of sand and hired workers to mold blocks with everything left.
In fact, the entire shop was cleared just to avoid loss.
Later, the distributor called for payment, and my dad had to withdraw money from his other business to settle the debt.
After that experience, he said he was done selling cement.
He was just waiting for his shop rent to expire so he could shut everything down.
Then something unexpected happened.
During that same period, one of his old friends came to our house, saw the blocks outside, and asked if my dad wanted to sell them.
My dad said yes and just like that, he sold everything.
Then the man asked if there was still cement in the shop.
My father instantly said a quick: *“Yes” 😂😂😂
That “yes” was very fast for someone who had locked his shop for over two weeks.
To my surprise, that night my dad didn’t let the cement distributor rest.
He kept calling and shouting on the phone, begging him to make sure the truck arrived at his shop the next morning 😂😂
Anybody who says running a business is easy is lying.
Have you ever abandoned a business in a slow season, and later resumed it when opportunity showed up?
