5 Types of Sellers You Will Find in Lagos
5 Types of Sellers You Will Find in Lagos
Lagos is
a cosmopolitan city. Nigerians troop to Lagos because it has something
for everyone from the good, the bad and the ugly. The mantra for the
city is survival of the fittest. As a result, Lagosians engage in
various businesses to put food on the table. So, when driving, or
visiting a market, you will observe these Sellers. Jumia Travel, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal identifies five of them.
The Overzealous Seller
Without
signalling that you want to buy anything, he approaches you asking if
you want to buy shirts, trousers, phones and other household items. In
other cases, they will descend on you like bees. Try to make sure you
keep your calm and don’t get carried away by the patronizing names they
call you like fine boy. It is safe to visit the stores at the market than transacting business with a Seller you meet on the road.
The street traders
Lagosians
are always excited to see the street trader because it removes the
stress of going to the market. They are the ones who run from danfo to
SUVs determined to sell their wares. Their adrenaline is always pumped
up. You find men, women and even children engaged in street trading. The
question now is what will happen to them since the Lagos State
Government has banned street trading? Will they disappear from the
highway? We are watching!
The Bus Marketers
You
are in a bus looking forward to a safe ride to your destination in a
Lagos Bus. Suddenly, someone who took a vantage position stands up and
shouts praise the lord just to catch the attention
of passengers. The next thing is to bring out an item especially drugs
they want to market. These drugs can cure uncountable ailments. You will
be surprised that Lagosians will buy these drugs despite warnings from
health experts.
The Market woman
The
only way you can make a Lagos market woman happy is to buy her wares.
Do not haggle and end up not buying. You will not want to hear her harsh
response. In fact, her facade will false you to buy if you do not want
to.
The Job Marketer
The
Job marketers sell nothing. They are taking advantage of the
unemployment situation in Nigeria by distributing job leaflets
advertising bogus vacancies. As a rule of thumb, do not collect these
handbills.
