This life ehn, you just need to place some people where they belong, otherwise they will keep getting you angry.

Because she talks too much, I always fake a call whenever I’m passing by her house or whenever she beckons on me to greet or talk, otherwise I might end up standing there listening to unnecessary talk for an hour.
Most of the things she buys from me are on credit. The last charger head she bought last year till now, she is still owing me ₦500.

Recently, she said she needed a good charger head that a generator cannot destroy (pin that word “generator”). That word made me realize that her generator has been the one destroying those chargers, and this happens when your generator isn’t stable (fluctuating current).
I gave her a 100W charger, and three days later, she said the charger wasn’t working. I was surprised. I blamed myself for not testing it in her presence before giving it to her, and also for always selling to her on credit. She asked me for another one.
Instead of giving her the same kind of charger again, I picked a very low‑watt charger and tested it in the presence of three people without telling her. After four days again, she sent it back to me, saying the charger wasn’t working and demanded another one.

That was when I went to her and proved to her that she was wrong with that attitude. She started making trouble. I showed some people the video of the charger when I was testing it, and they heard in the video when I said, “This woman will later return this charger and say it’s not working.”
To cut the long story short, this woman denied spoiling the charger and refused to pay, but I made sure I collected the ₦500 balance she had been owing me since last year. Since then, we don’t greet each other again and I love that.
Yesterday, she sent her son to buy a charger from me and gave him ₦2,000 to balance ₦3,000. I rejected it and told him to tell his mum that I don’t sell on credit again.
Now she has reported me to almost everyone on the street, but I don’t care. Even the people on that street know her very well with her ogbon jibiti (419 brain).

Thank God my landlord is not in Nigeria and she doesn’t even know the person who owns the house. I’m very sure she wouldn’t mind telling my landlord to send me packing, because I know how wicked some people can be.
Bravo 👏🏻 👌🏻

ReplyDeletePresently in some areas in Ibadan. When you have issues with some landlord, they will tender ur case at their meeting and asked your landlord to send you packing..
DeleteI no wan mention areas shaa
Nawa o, Pinky, so all these landlord association thing reach Ibadan too. My former colleague gisted me of theirs back then & I was shocked 😮
DeletePls ignore the Onijibiti... imagine buying on credit & not wanting to pay.
ReplyDeleteAm sure ara adugbo sef know her cheating ways. Wicked woman.
Thanks jare..I dey my dey bayii..
DeleteU don too nice
You're welcome Pinky 👍
DeleteThese kind of customers have a knack for de-marketing those who don't cave to their tactics. Make it a point of duty to test every item in front of the buyer and a witness to avoid wasting more time and money in future and please, avoid selling on credit. You're only lucky that the past 3 years, the Forex market has been stable due to reforms. Imagine selling a bulk of items on credit only to want to restock and the money has lost 50 percent value despite all the time you've already lost.
ReplyDeleteThank you and God bless you
DeleteSome ppl just have nothing about them. It’s as though they think small businesses can give everything away for free. Many ppl’s businesses went to wreck because of selling on credit, then those who helped to wreck it sit aside and talk how the owner couldn’t run business and if it was them how it would have flourished. I been on the planet long enough to see a few things, selling on credit and hiring a thief are the death knell of small businesses.
ReplyDeleteI remember my former hairdresser grew her business into something to be proud of. Went back to school to become a travel agent and set that up too. Owned her own location, not outright but on mortgage. She hired one dude who can in and did credit card fraud with the clients credit cards. Got her business wrapped up in fraudulent activities. She lost every brick she built with her own hands. Every time I remember her story it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Trust no one when you’re a small business owner. I could tell countless stories on how credit wrecked businesses.
