Description: In as much as the market Is a selling place, there a times that my mom would
not sell as much as she wanted to or nothing at al . On days like this, we are not always
happy, my mother would brainstorm on what has happened but she wouldn't be able to
reach a genuine conclusion of why people couldn't come to her store or buy from her, one
thing she always says on days like this is "ajé ò wá l'òní" meaning the god of wealth did not
come to the market today. Her emotion and countenance in those period made me realize
that the fruit of labor in every legal hustle is to have something to show for it at the end of
the day.
