A Nigerian lady who identified as @Harsaannaarh Sulayeemahn has shared via her Facebook page how a trader tried to extort more money from her over a product she wanted to buy because he was the only seller available.
Sharing a picture of the good she wanted to purchase she revealed that the vendor increased the amount of the product by N1000.
The lady who had visited the market to purchase vegetable oil said the vendor decided to increase the price after noticing that he was the only one available and she couldn’t purchase the product anywhere else within that vicinity.
The product that the vendor wanted to sell for N3,500, she disclosed that she purchased it somewhere else for N2,400.
The price differences ignited the lady causing her to come online to rant about how vendors inflate the prices of their products and blame it on the state of the economy.
She wrote;
“Some people are wicked, and most people contribute to the hardship of this country. I Went to buy this king’s Oil today and the seller told me 3,500 Haaaaa 3,500 how?
