New vs Tokunbo

Hello,

It is another Monday morning when I come your way in comparison.

What is it that we are comparing? Brand new vs Tokunbo.

Brand new is buying something new from the manufacturer, unraveling it by oneself after purchase while tokunbo is using something that had been previously used by someone. I remember a joke by a friend about tokunbo, it goes thus, "ur car na tokunbo, ur cloth na Acube, ur phone na london used & you want your GF a virgin. Bros u sure say ur brain sef no be followcome?" New products are cheaper on the long run, while tokunbo products are more expensive.

The long run cost should make us exercise patience in the procurement of things. We would avoid lots of headache associated with tokunbo things. Poverty makes us compare the two state of any product, believing tokunbo is of higher quality.

Things come in grades as such lower grades of new products makes one feel higher grades of tokunbo is better. Let us pray for sufficiency to afford new items always. Remember the saying, "whatever you gain at the corner, you will lose at the bend".

Have a swell week.
