I don’t waste time when shopping or window-shopping. Before I go shopping, I make a list of what to buy, walk into the store, pick the items on my shopping list and I leave the place. Where and what do you buy? I shop mainly abroad. I take a day or two off to buy few things like shoes and ties. For clothing, I have a few tailors based locally that know my style and what I am comfortable in. I am an extremely stylish man because my parents were stylish and am not going to give up that their legacy for anything. But at my age and stage, what is expected of me is to dress comfortably in whatever I wear, to be self respecting without being flamboyant with a sense of style. Do you buy spontaneously? These days, I never buy things spontaneously. I buy only what I think I need, a few things and mainly to replace what is old or worn out. When some things stop being needed or useful or I haven’t worn in six months or so I give them out, no point accumulating and wasting when there are so many people out there who need and can make better use of them. I do this regularly. Last year, someone close to me gave out almost six suit cases of clothes they hadn’t used in ages. It gives great joy to give. Any favourite shopping place? I have just a few shops I visit depending on what I have been shopping at those places /labels for ages. What do you think of Nigerian Shopping malls? Shopping has improved a lot in Nigeria and its growing; its much better in all areas. You can get almost everything you need/want here now with the coming of big malls. We need to encourage more of our own and patronise them. I try to do that. I don’t think Nigerians should be importing anything, we have enough talent here. Do you buy items in vogue, especially fashion items? I have long ago stopped buying seasonal fashion items. I am too old for that now and they soon get out of style and become a waste of money. There are a few basic and time tested things that never fail. At my age, I don’t need much anyway. 0 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail Joseph Anthony previous post Tight security in Kano as kingmakers meet over Bayero’s successor next post Emir Bayero buried amid glowing tributes You may also like Russia Takes Control of Vuhledar After Two Years...
