#Reminiscing...
Most times when we walk into big malls,
boutiques, supermarkets, we never question
their
prices.
.
.
We pay exactly what we see on the price
tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
.
.
But the moment we are out of these shops
and want to
buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to
the
roof.
.
.
Poor widow with 6 hungry children at home
tells you banana is N100. She even takes out
her
time to explain how difficult it was for her to
even
buy it, how the economy is so tough.
.
.
But we insist
that if it's not N50, we are not paying.
.
.
Some of us
even step back into our cars and make to
drive
away.
.
.
But because 'half bread is better chin chin',
this woman is forced to call you back and sell
to
you at little or no gain.
.
.
In her heart, she cries,
she's worried about how she'll survive with her
children.
.
.
She silently reassures herself that 'It's
well. God will definitely provide.''
.
.
While you happily eat the luscious banana.
.
.
Take some seconds
out and think about this, guys.
.
.
Am always moved
to tears when I see people who genuinely and
helplessly hawk petty goods to feed and
survive
for that day, especially women and children.
.
.
Please don't bargain hard with small vendors
like
this.
.
.
They do business not to buy designer bags,
Gucci shoes and designer clothes but to LIVE
and
EAT for that day
.
.
And the children share the
remaining money among themselves to take to
school the next day (that's if there's any left).
.
.
"He who gives to the poor lends to his maker"
.
.
GOD BLESS You
