In Nigeria, once you've paid for an item you purchased (mostly cash payments), you cannot have a change of mind and ask for your money back. The traders believe that since the money you paid have mixed up with others, any refund would lead to the downfall of their business.

In Eastern Nigeria, don't be embarrassed when you come to the market anyday and find no one. A whole market can shut down because of the death of a trader. It's our cultural way of commiserating with the deceased family.
