The Impact Of Full-Scale Culture Of ‘Pricing’ On The Quality Of Life Among Nigerians

Introduction

“Wetin be the last price?”;

“You go fit comot money? I be your customer ooh”;

“Your market cost ooh, I go buy from your neighbor!”;

The above phrases and more are constantly used in Nigerian market space to influence the prices of goods and services.

To bargain in the context of this piece, means an advantageous purchase, especially one acquired at less than the usual cost. In Nigeria, this is known as ‘pricing’ or ‘price’.

It is worthy of note that negotiation or bargaining could be helpful  – who wants to spend more on a product they can get for less?
