"There’s no doubt that he makes a profit in the long term but does he really factor other additional expenses like opportunity cost. His wages and that of his employees. Contingency and operational overheads? WHO RUNS HIS BOOKS FOR HIM TO COME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS?"

"The question the guy was asking is a huge issue in Ghana! They always want to get money fast so they ask, straight how much can I get and base their investment on such. You must think long term and not this short term things. It will never benefit you in the long run."
