My conscience is judging me.

A woman that i sometimes patronize left a kid to watch her shop. I wanted to buy rice. I ask him for the price because the price do flunctuate, which he said it is 100, no 50, no 20 naira. I shock, then the devil enter me and i said whether e no go sell 10. I told him to sell me 5cup of rice, after he measured and tied it, i gave him 100 and told him to take the remaining 50 and not to tell the woman so that she will not collect his 50 tip.

Kid was happy, i was happy, trader lose.

Now this evening, rice no let me eat, i am just thinking of going back to do restitution.

How do i go about it without the trader getting angry?

Just inform the trader that the kid seems not to know the actual price of the goods, however measured five cups to you which you have come back to pay for. Meanwhile bear in mind that the #100(or #50) you initially paid the kid is forfeited.

Don't go explaining to the woman. You'll never earn her trust again.
Be sure to give an equivalent amount to cover-up the cheating with sincerity.
If you were to balance her #400, go to her shop with #500, buy stuff worth #100 and tell her to keep the balance. If she insists on returning it to you, tell her you remember you were owing her #400 a long time ago and although she must have forgotten but it feels right to pay her back. Walk away as soon as you finish talking.
Be at peace with your mind.

Go back and tell the shop owner how you came to buy rice but the kid couldn't give an accurate price... So u felt it will be proper to come back and make payment later... Make the complete payment and forget abt the 100naira u gave the kid earlier... Go back home and eat ur rice in peace and don't do that rubish anymore make car no jam u

Madam, how much is a cup of rice now? I was here yesterday but your kid seems not to know the actual price so I promised to come back when you're around. Here is your balance.

The woman needs to know that the kid is not fit to handle the shop.
thank you!

Just go to her and tell her you want to dash her some money for being a good seller to you.

You can even double the amount you are going to dash her just to let your conscience be free.

It's not even about the trader. How could you do that to a little child? Cheat an innocent little child. Do you know you can traumatize the child to start seeing the world a certain way and it sticks for ever?

If you truly did it, I would advice you to go and pay the woman her. Just tell her that you suspected her son didn't know the cost price of the rice so you opted to come back later to settle her cause whatsoever a man sow, that's what he shall reap so quickly go and clear ur conscience while you still can.

Yes
Go and clear you name from the list of thief

You don't have to explain everything. Just tell her you came to buy rice yesterday and she was not around. The child didn't have change to give you so you told him you'll come back to pay but you've been busy.


She go only para for the child say she was not told about it

Go to the woman and let her see reason he must not leave kids to stay in her shop. It's to her own disadvantages doing that. Just tell her you deliberately paid the kid the amount he said knowing fully well you will come back to pay the remaining balance.
With that she will thanks her creator and will thank you too

I think this is the best advise.

I am glad your conscience is haunting you. That is a good sign.

Find a way to get the full value to the woman. Perhaps, send someone to pay the balance. He can apologize on your behalf and that you promise never to do so again (He need not mention your name). Add an extra N100 for 'damages'. It is basically a tip

In addition, tell her to use an older kid to sell that the boy is too young. Plead with her not to beat the boy.

By the way, give some reasonable time, perhaps a few days interval, so she would be clueless whom the offender was.

Never do it again (Read Proverbs 28:13)

Easy one... Just go there with the amount for 5 cup of rice and 100 naira useful stuff when the child is not there o...


Buy the 100naira worth stuff... And freely give the woman the whole money, tell her u just feel like blessing somebody today... Then carry your yeye sef out of there... Don't try it again o..

Learnt it's really tough for Nigerians at the moment
The thing is,this approach would now make him a thief and a liar on top…you cannot bless someone with something you stole from them.

What you did is very wrong but since you have realized your mistake and wants to make a restitution it's fine.
Go back to the woman's shop, tell her you came to buy rice but she's not around and you bought 5 cups and here is her money. Don't try to explain anything unless she starts talking. You will let her realize that her kid doesn't know the price and you can't just give him/her the money.
Good luck.

Ha! That 5 cups will not even last you for a week. There is adage that says if you decide to eat frog, you should eat the one that is very big.
Look for a way to return back the balance and if possible double. There is no gain in stealing, it is just a matter of time, you will pay for it directly or indirectly.
