I was really sad reading focusmind submission here. I just had to imagine myself in his shoes. It's just sad to imagine!

The whole deal is ALMOST a total loss to him, you can also imagine the loss in terms of TIME and ENERGY he must have invest in this whole thing, to get a product that is of low quality....Dealing with artisans in Nigeria can be draining, it can take away your soul. You hardly see a sane one this days!
My wife gave a carpenter, just on my street 120k since oct for her kitchen cabinet, till today the guy disappear, this is someone we have known for two years.
Please, what can 120k change in a man's life? with two children o! On this platform, i called an architect and we agreed on a certain amount for a 3 bed plan. We agreed on payment. Later i called and demanded for some modification, he said no problem but i will add more money, we agreed on what to add and he proceed. After few days he called that the modification cannot work due to the size of the land and he propose another type of modification, again we agreed. Later again, he called that all modification (mine and his) cannot work and that we should revert back to the first plan, grudgingly i said okay just revert back to our initial plan, the very first one. Abeg, is it not expected that we revert back to the old price that we initially agreed on. Na so this guy finish work seize my plan o, asking for balance. I told him balance is for modification, now there is no modification so which balance. We almost resort to threat and he later bulge. I dont know how you guys do it o, but using people online is tough. I'm planning to use another one again, but fear dey catch me. My job is tough, I dont have time, i dont have energy.

Focusmind, i will rely on one of your statement, compassion triumph logic, pls find him something, i dont expect you to pay 120k though. The truth is, this guys needs to BE RESPONSIBLE AND KNOW THAT NO BE EVERY JOB PERSON THEY COLLECT. He needs to bear some responsibility.
The only reason am appealing to focusmind is because of the health of the other guy. Remember Ada jesus story on this platform. May we all live long without any regret of what we should have done earlier. Focusmind, na beg i beg you. Please.


thanks for ur consign sir,
Let be clear to u

The additional money collected from hsl broker because of delay of his fund, for three months,
The additional collected from the hsl broker client was because he want nets to be sliding not permanent, and permanent was our agreement with hSL broker, thanks to be clear to u sir, u can ask both of them this thanks

We Nigerians are useless people
all we know is how to scam
small, small thief
Just sad the type of people the nation called Nigeria produce
Money is God to all Nigerians
A failed nation and people
No major world companies will put their African or West Africa HQ in Nigeria
we are bad people
We Nigerians think we smart pass the whole world
see what is happening to that country
People that don't have respect for law-- that is the problem with Nigerians
If we have respect for law, You will know the law will catch up with you

I honestly don't have any prob with you, in fact you're the greatest and ONLY beneficiary from all of this and I say congratulations...
It was an unwise decision from hslbroker to have awarded the contract to you under any guise. He should have returned the money Tru any means to focus mind.
And to all artisan, when you get a job to execute a project, do it within the agreed time frame, once the price change, pls endeavor to return money to the owner.
The average mindset of a Nigerian is this, we will be happy if you come back to me and say, oga price don change for market, na your 100k be this but I fit do am if you go add 30k..This alone is INTEGRITY considering the environment we found ourselves.

All Nigerian are Apostles Judases to the country called Nigeria

If you have 500 people in Nigeria
500 people in Ghana
In Ghana there are 450 bad people and 50 good people
In Nigeria there are 501 bad people, Nigerian will go bring one more person from other country to add to the bad 500 eggs total 501

This is rather a simple-minded statement.

From my side of the wood, I know tens of people that aren't the people you described above.

My advice is that you speak for yourself and the people you know only sir.

On the issue of proper name calling of aluminium.

To me, I feel the clear thing is;

1. Light imported material

2. Thick imported material

3. Tower material.


Alot of artisans use "Tower standard material" which is confusing to clients.

Only few Engineers can identify Tower from Thick imported, not to talk of clients..


This matter of demanding for higher quality of
aluminum profile while asking to pay lesser price for it by some clients is somehow sad when you know already that quality come with a cost grin, and even outrightly telling you that some artisan who most don't know the actual cost of these high quality of profile, like tower, ebm, nigalex, glass tempering, metaalum etc offered to deliver it at a cheaper price is what is confusing me sometimes.
some artisan do lied to client about material quality and cost of delivering when actually its not possible to meet up to the specification , just because 'dey wan chop' as work no dey undecided

Most artisan/fabricator are only familiar with imported profile cost & works. cool


I do tell my clients I'm affordable but not cheap wink, because I don't compromise in work quality delivering. Good works = good payments

Not every job/client you as an artisan most collect By cheesy

Good morning @ChiefSupplier55

Pls do you have this tile or something very close. It's called Country Clay (from Home Depot) and the Dimension is 8" x 25".

I need it to spruce up my fast fading fence wall.

Thank you.

Windows too get level.

There are few projects I’ve shared here that the windows alone cost over N12m (even as at 6 years ago).

I don’t discuss such class of windows with my client. I just give them the address of the company producing them here in Nigeria to visit for enquiries.
