An all-expense paid shopping for five whole minutes? In a supermarket of my choosing? Well, count me in!

If I find myself in such a situation, know that the last place I would do the shopping is here in Owerri. I don’t know about the rest of Imo State, but supermarkets here in the capital city are kind of wack. It is always annoying to go to popular supermarkets and when you walk in all you can find are empty shelves left and right, with the attendants being rude and slow about everything. The very things you want to buy, you won’t see them. They will have substitutes that look like they were manufactured by armatures who were on drugs.

So, if I am to go on an all-expense paid shopping trip, even if it is just for five minutes, I will do it somewhere I am sure there will be no disappointment. And off the top of my head, the only place I can think of is Lagos. Most of the supermarkets I’ve been to in Lagos, they are always stuffed full of goods and they always have what you need. Or at least they have what you need most of the time.

There is this particular supermarket close to where I used to live in Lagos, the staff is so trained that they are almost invincible. When you’re shopping you won’t see them, but once you start looking around for them, maybe to ask a question or for some form of help, they will suddenly materialize by your side. Although not in a spooky way…

Since it’s free, trying to shop for everything would be impossible within the time frame. So, I would focus on buying things that will be easier for me to sell, even if it’s second-hand. And for that, I would focus on electronics and gadgets.

All I need is one trolley, and I will be packing new phones and laptops. I won’t even bother to check their prizes, I’ll just be hurling them in. Bluetooth speakers, headphones, smartwatches. Hell, I might even toss in a smart TV or two if it would fit. By the time my time is up, what is in my cart would be well over millions of naira.

I will keep one of everything I bought, and then sell the rest. What a great day!

Seriously, free things are really sweet, that’s why our people say awoof dae turn belle. Which means that too many free things turn the stomach. When you realize that the money that would be spent isn’t yours, you will see that there are reasons to buy even things you don’t need.

Although I have to say, if someone were to approach me and tell me to really do this, I most likely won’t. In my country, if someone just wants to spend such an amount of money on you, there is the suspicion that you are definitely going to pay it back in one way or another. Whether you like it or not. Things like money rituals still exist, and for that, a lot of us are skeptical of people who seem to do great acts like these.

But then, I guess it all depends on the person telling me to go shopping. If it was Tony Elumelu or Dangote telling me to go shopping, I will do it at once because personally, I don’t think there is anything I can buy within five minutes that will cripple them.

Anyway, since all this is in my head, it's about time it all stops. Hopefully, one day, someone will take me out on an all-expense paid shopping trip. And the only thing I would have to do would be to get myself to the location.

Wow.. was thinking supermarkets are were we get the top quality goods... Ours here are quite different from what you just described actually although what's a constant is the rudeness of the attendants

there is the suspicion that you are definitely going to pay it back in one way or another.

Not just in this country but the world at large, rarely will you find a free lunch.

Lol, you woke up to reality to sleep back 😂
Are you sure that day you dream will ever come,?
Well, let me not doubt but wish you goodluck

Yeah... top goods are in supermarkets. But you will also find some goods that are not really that good. They are all original, just that some manufacturers' level of quality varies.

Omo... for now the dream is for me to take myself on such a shopping trip. If I can pay for everything without breaking a sweat, then it won't be bad at all.
Thank you for reading.

Oh, now I understand where you are coming from.
Sure, choices vary honestly and also I feel they work with what they have, I mean the manufacturers work with the resources they have

You're welcome

Come let me take you on a free shopping Boss, you self don try for our community... You deserve more than a million worth electronics and gadgets 😎😂

I didn't think of that, taking stuffs you'd sell off again so you can relax and buy stuffs you really need later... Smart move I must say.

No lie there, free things like this can turn stomach and yes, it depends on who's giving it.

I enjoyed reading from you my Sir Bruno 🤗🥰 well done and thanks for all you do.

“Plenty free things turn to stomach“. I would love an explanation to this.😂

For real, you’ve made a really smart choice. Buy stuff you can sell later for more money. I saw a tv in a mall one that was very very expensive. That alone will set you up with some real cash.

I would love an explanation to this

It means that free things are just like sweet things, when you take too much, they cause problems. Free things tie your hands, you can't complain or change them. You take what you are given whether you like it or not. None of which can happen when you pay for something with your money.

Hehehehe... smart move and you are definitely going to be a millionaire through a shopping spree. Isn´t that a huge opportunity to embrace and use judiciously? That is good, Bruno but something like this must come from someone who wouldn´t mind the cost after picking all of these, if not, then one might start getting to suspect what is going on, hope I won´t be used for ritual after this and stuff like that 😅

Omo... the person said for free na... I am only following instructions😂
I really do hope they won't mind the cost, so when I'm taking that hover board they won't tell me to keep it back.
Let us not go and spend our destiny helpers net worth in five minutes😂🤣

Free shopping is a tricky thing to do, I have seen 30 seconds free shopping video but not 5minutes. I can tell it would lead to disaster for the sponsor if he or she is not financially capable.

Packing gadget that will fill a trolley will definitely cost millions, you made a smart choice.
