Our biggest undoing here in Nigeria is that we are survival specialist....we dont know how to say NO, ITS ENOUGH, we rather bend down and get "effed"...
@Carsnationn Something you should consider, smugglers don't want to damage their cars, hence they are somewhat cautious, on the other hand, a government issued van(hilux or whatever) they have nothing to lose, they drive rough and don't give a damn cus if the car gets accident, govt replaces
@therealcubex It's seasonal yes, most of them move into fruits after corn season, one thing I know is if it's not profitable, they would not be out there daily
@eddyfied_gg@ChuksEricE My joy is that you are now thinking it through well, now my thought has always been in the line of total sales including expenses, and the smallest cost per corn is 400 naira, at 160 a day is 64k now this is all assuming they sell within that qty, some do above it
@eddyfied_gg@Davidbass3y@ChuksEricE Also note that on a daily they finish a bag as it has to be fresh... Guess how many they get in a bag... Omo no dey look those people less less... And for the woman in the video, we have seen less train 4 kids till uni doing such business and they good...
@eddyfied_gg@Davidbass3y@ChuksEricE Oh my, sorry there are people who can be classified as that, they always at that lucrative corner in a given neighborhood, they come out each season and make a killing... They exist
@eddyfied_gg@ChuksEricE Now we are getting somewhere... I never said profit, it's their total sale... Then the expenses can be removed... Now note that we only accounted for corn, we didn't do pear or coconut... Truth is, it's hard labour but they make something relatively good
@Davidbass3y@eddyfied_gg@ChuksEricE Oga I hate apc with everything in me... I said they make this including expenses, now do your research yourself, go down your street and ask, do it playfully and you get your answers... On a low the smallest corn seller can make 600k a month, the big guns can make up to that +
@therealcubex@OurFavOnlineDoc Oh well, do note that I'm not in any way in support of APC or anything related to them... This is just pure numbers.. Tell yourself the truth or take a stroll down your street and ask them, don't ask as though you want to prove it wrong, ask as though it's for studies.
