We blame the Government for the bad economy we are facing in the country but most of the hardship were caused by us the citizens.
We have selfish people doing business and inflating the prices of their goods, Imagine buying clothes for 6, 000 naira and selling them at 15, 000 naira in the name of making a profit, the same goes with other wears.
If you want to know if you have been overpaying for something, try to dress differently and visit a boutique or any other place that sell clothes, they tend to call lower price for those they think don't have much and triple the price for those they think have money, which is unfair because price ought to be fixed, not selling at a fair price for peter and robbing paul because you think he has money.
One thing about this is that whatever everyone does eventually goes back to them, some people raise the prices of their goods. Still, they will eventually need to buy something from other people who also up the price of their goods, and hence all the profits they think they made would be lost one way or the other.
Rather than making a lot of profits on other people's sweat, if everyone can be fair in their dealings, then the government tyranny won't affect the citizens that badly and things will be better than it is.
One day, I wanted to buy a shirt from one online vendor who is my coursemate, I showed her the shirt and she said it was 18k, I was shocked and asked her the last price, and she said because I am one of her customers that she won't call price for me, she would tell me the market price and I will add anything I feel like on it, so I asked her for the market price and she said 12k but still I didn't believe her that the cloth is that expensive.
I showed the cloth to another vendor and she called it 9k, imagine the difference and the trick she wanted to play on me, If I had trusted her, I would have paid 12k and also added like 1k or 2k thinking that it was her profit, this is not her first time of raising price for me that I would need to haggle. So I just decided to cancel her since she decided not to be honest in her dealings.
People prefer to make 10 000 on one person than making that on 5 people which could make that 5 people bring more customers for them. I don't just get why people don't get that being honest with your customers is one of the ways to be successful in your business.
