ARTISANS are the latest scarce commodity in town.

Hardly can one get anybody to repair radios, televisions and other electronic gadgets these days.They are now Point of Sale, POS agents.

Average Nigerians are living from hand to mouth. Earnings hardly put food on the table, so, there is not enough to spend on damaged household properties. Those who can afford to, pay peanuts, and artisans hardly make enough to keep their families.It costs very little to establish but appears to be lucrative in terms of steady returns.

“Few years back, as a hairdresser, people booked appointments for me to do their hair. I might not even open the shop for a week, yet at the end of the day, I would still not be able to feed my family. the bulk of the money they’ll spend goes to hair attachments and other accessories. When it comes to labour, they pay peanuts and expect you to understand.

“I decided to go into big markets in the afternoons and go home in the evenings to rest. I had to abandon my profession when I discovered I could make up to N15, 000 a day from the PoS business. “The rate at which artisans are leaving their professions is worrying. Soon we’ll be doing most of these jobs ourselves.
