I almost can’t believe we’re already in the second half of the year. Didn’t we just shout “Happy New Year” two weeks ago? This is the part where I remind you to review your resolutions and goals to see how much you’ve achieved. At least we’re alive, so that should count for something, right?

NAIRA LIFE The Inside Gist: The #NairaLife of a Trader Who’s Tired of Fighting Inflation =.HXfttgIlTlHZfyyupXSo52k-6u9wb6M5lVINQ2cs_ww [Stories like this remind me of just how much we’ve lost as a country. Imagine ₦200 being enough to feed two people for weeks in 1989. 🙃] This subject has always been a hustler. “I lived close to a local government office and noticed that the staff loved owambes. I used to take my okrika to the offices to sell to them, but most of them either wore corporate clothes or ankara. However, they all wore jewellery. So, I decided I was going to sell that. I started with watches and costume jewellery sets. I’d load them in my bag and go from office to office. The good thing about the business was that I could sell a ₦800 or ₦1k watch for ₦3k. The more expensive, the better. Office people like to dress well, and these ones thought that “expensive” meant quality.” But inflation is dealing with her now. “I went to the shop all through last week and didn’t sell a single item. Sometimes, I sell one pair of sandals, make ₦1k profit, and not sell anything again for the week. It was much easier to make a good profit by selling bags. I could buy a bag for ₦5k and sell it for ₦9500. But when quality bags now cost ₦25k from the market, how much do I sell them for? I can’t even remember the last time I sold a bag.” [Read her NairaLife here](=.0NsO_4kaltsg33xSce5RhhWIbT_mQ3xI-54Ko9arC6c) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> One Story to Read Today Tems just won a BET award This year’s edition of the BET Awards happened last night in the US, and we have the complete list of winners.
