I just left the market just now not too far from my house, can you believe I wanted to buy fresh fish so I can prepare something nice for myself this evening to go through the weekend.

Madam how much you dey sell your fish, she brought one out and said 7k..I was surprised and ask for one? She say ehh.. you go buy me .

Never in my life have I felt insulted with the way she said it, this is someone that all what she's selling in the basin is not up to the sandal i have on my leg putting on.

I wanted to give her gbas gbos but had a second thought, due to the economy of the country people Will have false impression of the whole thing.. maybe I don't have money to afford her market meanwhile it's different scenario of someone who doesn't know how to talk at all.. I just left her shade.

This is not the first time I have encountered this kind of market women and sometimes they will make you feel as if you came to beg for their goods.

You might be seeing them hustling and struggling in hot sun and cold weather and feel sorry but if this people tell you word you reason your life the whole day.

7k for one fish?

Like I am not getting it even after reading it a couple times, which type first?

They are not called 'market women' for nothing. Some sellers are very rude and I'd be damned to patronize people like that.

What are you doing in the market as a man? Men that goes to the market are very stingy and aggressive.
I dislike men that would open eyes to everything and won't allow women to be women peacefully.

You should have a woman maybe a market woman that get your things for you.

You should have just turned to her neighbour selling the same fish and buy like 3 pieces from her without negotiating. Some market women don't know how to relate with customers.

So, [single] men shouldn't go to the market?
How then would they learn to help their wives?

"I dislike men who do this...I dislike men who do that" always shaming men up and down.

Nonsense and emotional blackmail.

So going to the market is now a woman thing, that's nice to hear. If men turn around and say they can't do domestic chores because it's a woman thing, that day men go turn endangered species.

I don’t know the level of nonsense you’re spilling, but you’re spilling nonsense.. sometimes I go, most times my woman go.
No matter how you think am, in bouyant home, most women prefer their husbands going to market.. if you’re not even a good cook, you’ll not understand.
Does scent leave with big leaves have same scent with the ones with small leaves??

When a woman wants to steal from you, she will assumed you don't trust her for going to the market yourself.

Where is it stated or made compulsory that women are the only ones to go to the market? Who made that rule?

How old are you?

People can be rude, but you just have to ignore there antics and go you way. Some people don't know how to talk or relate with people.

Thank God you didn't react.

@bolded
Was that necessary men and ego... Rubbish you deserve the answer you got.. egoistic brat

You sound like an emotional person. I still don't get how a statement from someone whom you don't know and who doesn't mean anything to you can hurt you.

If I tell you how many times Lagos conductors have provoked me eh.

For me, as long as you don't mean anything to me, your words wouldn't hurt me one bit.

Don't mind them o. That's the tactic many of the greedy Nigerian traders use to cheat buyers... If they tell you a high price for a commodity and you try to bargain, they'll make it look like you're bargaining because you are broke and can't afford the item.

They use that strategy to make more money from naive guys who always want to give the impression that they are rich even when they maybe struggling financially. As for me, I bargain very well whenever I go to market to buy things because I don't pluck money from trees. Even if my bank is loaded at the time, I still bargain to get fair prices for the stuffs I want to buy. Call me broke, I don't care mehn!

You have zero wit! You’re sandals didn’t save you from the embarrassment of getting out witted.

The economy is crunching hard. Not only buyers but also sellers, are at the receiving end. So it's best not to take such utterance to mind. If you can read through her mind, you would understand why she towed that line.

There is no crime in assisting your partner run local errands.

And one yeye thought this nonsense is frontpage worthy?

Kai, Nairaland has gone to the dogs.

Many of them are rude.

Noted.

This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard...... Sometimes I feel you need psychological therapy..... You are seriously loosing it

I am a chose

When did it become a gender specific role to go to the market, cook or eat ?

Because you have access to cheap and affordable data, you come online to spew nonsense.
