Man expresses regret after buying truckload of yams from Makurdi
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a man had regretted buying truckloads of yams at N20 each from Makurdi.
According to him, he heard that it was a profitable business, and he believed he would become a top shot after reselling the yams in Lagos.
However, after purchasing the yams and returning to Lagos, he was told he couldn't sell the yams because he wasn't part of an association. After spending much money on road taxes, he was forced to sell off the yams at a giveaway price.
