Market Setup

Chidi was already setting up shop by the time Tomi and Engineer arrived at the campus market. 'Na so we see am oh!' she exclaimed, expertly arranging her wares to maximize visibility. Tomi, ever the enthusiast, began pitching his fintech startup to a nearby vendor, proclaiming 'We're basically Stripe for Nigeria!' Engineer, meanwhile, looked on with a mixture of amusement and skepticism, muttering 'Ah, but is it official?' as he surveyed the bustling scene. Just as things were getting into full swing, a suited government official appeared, sending the entire market into a frenzy. Chidi quickly sprang into action, using her quick wit and sharp tongue to negotiate with the official, while Tomi saw an opportunity to pitch his platform as a solution to the market's payment woes. Engineer, with his years of experience in the civil service, helped facilitate the conversation, ensuring that everything remained 'official.' As the day drew to a close, the trio had not only saved the market but had also forged an unlikely partnership, one that would take their entrepreneurial endeavors to the next level.
