Born2conquer: This guy obviously is still leaning this work and not completed his training before hurrying to take up jobs. There are guys who do this and do it well, with modern tools. Its always a beauty to behold when done right. On correcting this, there are two things involved, first is the lines that are not straight in between each row, there doesn't seem to be much you can do about that one apart from removing the whole tiles. The second thing is the cement stains, washing it only worsened the whole problem. They should have brushed it in a dry state, or even sand paper the tiles, and later polish it. The worker should have been stopped after the first 3 lines when it became obvious that he doesn't know what he is doing. House finish errors are the most painful, you get to see it everyday and its irritating. First two picture below are the one we did in Akure, Ondo state. Last two pictures are from my village house 4 Likes

micgray100: I know say wetin I wan talk go vex you, but I just have to say it. If the way you are conducting this situation here on this forum is the way you conduct affairs of your project, then I must say you are a poor manager and a very poor minister of affairs. How? This is how: MMotimo: You need to come out with all relevant information, not this drip, drip, drip approach of information. How do you expect meaningful suggestions when members don't have the information from your perspective? Who be the member, you no talk. Who be the contractor, you no talk. The contractor dey this forum? you no talk. which kind arrangement una make, you no talk. You no want wahala, you no want wahala but your money don enter voicemail and your project is at a standstill. You no want wahala. People who say they don't want wahala are generally lazy people. So my friend, take up some responsibility as well and work with @twinskenny to ferret out the contractor irrespective of if he (twinskenny) gained from the transaction. It is also your responsibility to chase the contractor, so chip in financially for the police cost. Work with @twinskenny. An arm's length approach is the wrong approach. You cannot from a distance be asking: how long before I demand my money. So again, my friend be involved and don't be lazy. 7 Likes |

Born2conquer: I’m afraid you’d have to live with it, remove the tiles or paint over it. He’s obviously a novice in installing stone walls. The signs you’re seeing on the wall are from the chemical he applied while trying to clean up and that’s exactly the problem. Maybe in 5 - 7 years of continuous wash, you might be able to wash off the acidic stains. |

EgunMogaji2:In the East around ihiala- orlu axis borehole is about #800k - 1M. Initial payment is about 700k. Nobody takes less. They do deliver within 3 days. It is all about sincerity and purposefully making effort to deliver a project as agreed. The claim in this case that machine broke down is unacceptable. That initial deposit would have been enough to rent another one. 3 Likes |

sonnie10: When they did mine they collected full payment in advance or they wouldn’t do it. Every single place in Elebu area. I told the Indian owner that I was disappointed but felt I had no choice. I’ll never run any of my business like that. Not on customers money. And I haven’t been. |

EgunMogaji2: Nigeria is different. If you do it with your own money, you will never get paid the balance. If you do such with physical products like custom furniture, your warehouse will end up being filled with unclaimed junks. I don't know how you can protect that. Unlike in the US where you can go to a small claims court and put a lien on the property. In Nigeria, how much do you want to use to file a case of #300k or less contract in court? How long will it take to be settled, how about the time wasted and stress? The only way its possible in Nigeria is if the contract is Say the actual labor and material would cost 100k but you quote 150k. Then you can collect 100k to finish the job and put the remaining 50k in the hands of God. This is even highly unlikely in Nigeria because most clients already did their home work and know how much materials would cost and fair labor estimate. So the 50k I talked about might not even be in the equation in a typical Nigeria transaction. 9 Likes |

sonnie10: Nigeria is not different. For some reason we just like to pretend that it is. I’m following my finely honed American business standards in Nigeria and it’s working well for me across various subsidiaries. No offense but I I consider the Nigeria is different thing as a defeatist attitude. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: There are very different societies whether one agrees or not but truth is bitter. Unless we call these things out the way there are, nothing would change. It is what Fela called suffering and smiling. Where there are no consequences , people behave anyhow. I raised a question which you have not addressed, how do you get you money from defaulting client in Nigeria? Except you want to tell us that you clients never default. 3 Likes |

sonnie10:if you ever want to succeed in Nigeria, don't execute contract with your own money. Forget American standard. My big oga made delivery last week without receiving his balance, the client never respond to his chats and calls. Imagine if he's not bouyant enough to accommodate such delay 5 Likes |

michlins: There are enough clients with their cash in Nigeria looking for reliable and trusted contractors. That is why the reputable contractors are too busy to listen to stories of deferred payment. The only exception is when you have established a good working relationship with a client over time. In fact the way it works is that what you must have gained in the past is bigger that what you are committing. And you have your eyes on future deals. Nobody puts their money on peoples project. Even banks do not give loans without collateral. 7 Likes 1 Share |
