Those who took their business there did well and I am glad they smiled home.

But the manner in which they conducted the business shows they are not different from the politicians that loot in offices. Instead of inflating the price, why not supply larger quantity at the normal price and make the same amount at the end of the day? After all, it is certain that you will record higher demand at the convention venue than at your usual point of sale. Why are you inflating the price when the national convention did not affect the production of the commodity? This is the same mentality that fuel stations use to increase fuel prices during Christmas even if crude oil price is stable.

Some irrational thinkers will say the traders did nothing wrong as long as the buyers were willing to pay the inflated price. Irrational thinkers will say opportunity comes but once. Whether opportunity comes once or always, greed is greed. If this logic should stand, then the politicians that underpay civil servants do nothing wrong as long as the civil servants are willing to accept the poor salary.

Until we begin to put ourselves in the shoes of our clients or customers, our society cannot get better. The politicians abuse their opportunities. The masses abuse their own opportunities. The same way the greed of the politicians affects the society is equally how the greed of the masses affects the society.

I know most of the buyers who paid 250 per bottle did it because those buyers looted a lot before the convention. But do two wrongs make a right? Is looting from a looter not also bad?
The laws of Economics are very far from you...

Is the law far from shopping malls that maintain the same price even if the item remains only one piece on the shelf? You do not know the importance of goodwill in business.

A law of demand and supply says, the higher the demand, the higher the price. But this law refers to producers and middlemen, not to retailers. The law refers to producers and middlemen who bear the cost of producing and distributing the goods. For example, ShopRite does not change prices unless producers and suppliers change prices.

Let me add here. Almost all the hotels or perhaps all the hotels accessible by road were booked in abuja as at Friday night.

I cudnt get a room for my visitors on Friday. And I had checked over 100 hotels (literally) in gwarimpa, utako and wuse.

I stopped around 11.30 pm that night.

Most hotels once u get there, the security will just tell u 'APC'. So u know there r no rooms left.

Even the hotels that the average rooms fo for 6k , where call gals use......u will just see plenty men in agbada coming out.

Was so bad that people were sleeping outside the hotels.

Typical religious mentality.

Hike and charge exorbitant prices as compared to the original price then proceed to give thanks to God for he has made it possible for you to take advantage of the other person.

If you want to increase cost by a 150%, all well and good. Which one is "its by God's grace" that you are adding now.

Does it mean ShopRite does not know that law of demand and supply? Was there not higher demand for hotel rooms around the convention venue? Did the hotels increase prices because of the convention? The hotels maintained normal prices because they know the customers will still recognize and patronize them after the convention. The water sellers took unfair advantage of the fact that the customers will not recognize them after the convention. If you charge me 250 per bottle of water at the convention, do you think I will patronize you if I recognize you outside the convention? What the water sellers did is similar to what small shops do in marketplaces. When only a few shops have a particular item, those few shops will increase the price as if the factory producing the item is under fire. This is why small shops hardly maintain same customers for long. Many traders do not know the importance of goodwill in business.

In a way you wouldn't blame them because that same rule states that the higher the demand the higher the price.

Why don't they apply the rule at their usual points of sale? Why doesn't ShopRite apply the rule? Or, doesn't ShopRite record higher demand?
