Let me tell you a little story.

Few years ago, two friends Amaka and Oge went to the market to buy bags. They both went with the same amount of money. On getting to the market, Amara decided to stop at a shop she was very sure of getting something good. She saw a very beautiful bag she loved and asked the vendor the price. Oge screamed and said the bag was too expensive and that it was enough to get her ten bags if they were to go to her vendor. Amara being convinced about the bag and it's quality decided to buy it regardless. Amara went to about two more stores and was able to buy a total of three bags with her money.

When they were done shopping for Amaka, Oge exhaled in excitement and mockingly told Amaka that she will buy three times her bags and would use hers for long. At the end of the day, Oge bought ten bags and a shoe with her money.

Well, about Amaka she felt a little bad because Oge bought a lot with her money. But someone deep in Oge's heart, she wasn't so bothered because she was sure of what she bought. She has always been about quality.


A year after, Amaka is still rocking her bags but nine out of Oge's ten bags are already rotting somewhere in the trash bin and the only surviving one is already peeling and ready to hit the trash bin.

Quality is not cheap.
Quality is not Quantity.
Quality is not the crowd's choice.

Quantity is cheap.
Quantity is plenty.
Quantity is Voluminous.
Quantity is the crowd's choice.


Quality is value.
Quality is content.


Ever wondered why mass produced items have the largest market? It is because they are cheap. Their target is to reach a very wide population. Less attention is given to details.

Quality requires more details. It requires more time. More attention is put into its production. Preference is given to better,even the best raw materials. Little wonder they cost more.


Quality or Quantity?


I will choose Quality over Quantity any day. Because, in the long run, I will be glad I did.

Thanks for reading.

Quality stands out any time, any where. Even in existence, some people live quality life while some live quantity life. Thats why most of them who do not know what life purpose is pray for long life instead of quality life. They live wirthless life, affecting the society negatively. Those kind of people live, but the society wish they are dead. Metuselah in the Bible libed longer than anyone ever libed on earth but he could not enter Noah's ark because the Flood took him instead of the Ark. Lol... I rather live a quality life, affect the society positively and die today, than live hundred years affecting the society negatively. In material things, i like quality things too, but sometimes we can not afford quality things because of the economy. Lol....in this parth of the world, majority can only afford is quantity with less quality.
Nice post @gee1

Quality is value and nothing of value comes easy. But valuable things stand the test of time. I will choose quality over quantity.
Great writing as usual @gee1. I specially love the arrangement of this write-up.

Thanks love

Quality over quantity.

Any day ☑

Quality saves the day

Yeah baby

Quality pays on the long run. That one is sure.

Buying quality seems painful most times, just as it is to me. But at the end and long run you would love it and glad you did the right choice by choosing quality over quantity.

Quality should be chosen over quantity anytime any day. Quality shows class and also has durability in most cases.

Yeah I agree

I sometimes have the mentality of Oge... And I've learnt from it.

Buying quality is a huge sacrifice, but I rather do that, than cry later.
