Nice story OP I served in Enugu ..so i can relate to few things you said.. And don't mind those people trying to convert this thread to a tribal war zone... Nairaland has been converted to a tribal war zone recently...people blood dey hot..all they need is your name and they know from which angle to attack you. Its bizarre 15 Likes |

lonngmann:Very bizarre... But I believe the OP is up to some anti- Igbo mischief. He's already throwing some silent jabs. I know what he stands for. In a few months we'll chase him and his family out of Biafra for good. He comes from a family of traitors and saboteurs. 1 Like |

abeg everyone has a story to tell, u served in ebonyis state,where they treated me like a king,yet they know me from nowhere. let me ask you, can you sell your goods to anyone as low as the cost price because he speaks your language? @poster secondly,work on your " the" and they" there are many good people and bad people out there. most Hausa's get their goods directly from farmland where it very cheap,so they go and sell it at any price they deem fit. can you go to a Hausa man selling provisions, and expect him to sell to you at the cost price because you speak his language, make una take this propaganda very easy. if they so much love themselves why would they kill shittes faithfus because they practice different religion, why would they still have almajiri in large numbers, poverty in quantum, yet they have the richest the most number of President etc, if dangote had come from anywhere in the east ,and we have poor people coming out from his village or his village roads are bad or lack basic amenities, you will see people hurling insult at him. Igbo people are very individualistic at the same time help each other . sometimes in it depends on the helper and the" helper" 14 Likes 1 Share |

Mcowubaba:Nice story but this is not true. I was born and raised in the east, I learned trade in the west, I learned work in North Central, started life in another north central state and relocated to real North some years ago. Work has taken me to "at least" 15 states in Nigeria So I have mixed with Nigerians enough to know when you're lying. No, Language does not reduce price of goods in North, knowing how to bargain with a northerner does. Here's what I mean, in most cases, when a northerner tells you that the price of good is let's say N1000, the actual price is well below N500. Bargain with any language of your choice and you will still get price reduction. Also note that some of them are farmers, they sale based on the urgency of their need and they do not know how to preserve some of their goods. I once bought 35 tubers of yam from a farmer in Ikobi (Benue state) with just 3000. Reason? I bought directly from the farmer and before he harvested them. I did the harvesting myself. Mind you that this price reduction isn't applicable in well established stores that document their sales. Coming to Igbos, what you said is true. An Igbo man has a fixed price for any good and he doesn't sell below it except if he's going to buy more goods the next day. Why? Because majority document whatever they sell and calculate, gains loss expenses at the end of the day. One important thing to note is that an Igbo man will refuse to remove N10 from the price of an item but the same igbo man will give N200 bike money when you're going. Business is not charity and northerners do the same thing in well established shops. No need bringing Yorubas into this so I will stop here but write it somewhere in your hearts that Yorubas are among the nicest people I have met on earth. You started nicely, please don't tribalize your own thread. 11 Likes |

Fx55:Lol...you think. Let's be patient ehn and not call someone what they are not before we get to know them. Serving in Enugu is an eye opener to me. I have met good igbos, I have met bad ones...i have met igbos better than Yorubas...i have met some not so good. It doenst mean anything. At the end..we are all responsible for our actions...not our tribes. By the way, I am Yoruba 3 Likes |

patrick89: Work on your Punctuations.. Work on your paragraphs. Work on the use of your Capital letters, know when to end a sentence, and always remember that, on the start of a new sentence or a new paragraph, the first letter should be in Capital Also, after a Full stop, the next letter must be in Capital Articulate your points in order. Mechanical accuracy of your write up is very poor.. The mistakes in your write up eh , better ask your English teacher for a Refund . The wasted your time And you have the guts to correct me, Nairaland sha, home of Comedians BTW, People kill each other, for different reasons, this is not always tribal..

patrick89:Every tribe has both good and bad. But truth be told, Hausas tend to be kinder on average than southerners (Igbos, Yorubas etc) and Yorubas are kinder on the average than Igbos etc. Based on my experience, there are times that i didnt have nada. All i just had to do was to go to the mallam that i usually buy stuff from and borrow money from him and me and this mallam are not even close. He gives me the money or even food items without batting an eyelid. Go and ask your own Igbo relation who owns a shop and see the response. Some people are just less after money than other and it's mostly due to experiences of tribes in NIgeria. 5 Likes |

I served in Plateau (Barkin-Ladi) and I can attest that your story rings true. Plateau people are very nice and easy-going; they are accommodating and even naive. Things are very cheap in the suburbs. |
