A market woman selling the garri commodity way cheaper than others has incurred the fury of her colleagues who stormed her shop in a shouting match.
This had happened at the Mandate market in Ilorin and a footage showing the traders berating her for spoiling their market is now viral on the internet.
It is assumed that people had patronized her more and left the rest profitless before all hell broke loose and she was discovered.
Many netizens criticize the actions of the market women while some understood their plight and the law of general market price. Read some of the comments:
big_phayvour: They are now jealous because she has taken all their customers
debrasheazi: They can as well just buy it off her then sell at the price they want. Win win for both
hillagirl: You see…we are the problem, not just the government. They should use the same energy to fight the government too
ayabaoduoye: I am sure the woman selling for less is still making profit o… If it doesn’t pay her, she won’t sell for less…. So what exactly is their problem. Awon alaje pajude gbogbo
just_stella24: But what they should have done is to ask the person how she source it for her to have sold lesser than the marker price
