michlins: And fear go let you go ask for your balance? This is exactly why I said Nigeria is different. In this case there is no insurance to pay. Any contractor that involved his money in project would have to visit Shiloh to seek God's Intervention 4 Likes |

twinskenny: From my understanding of twinskenny explanation . This is not a broker or agency situation. This is twinskenny doing what a lot of us do here. Recommending people we think can do the job and the guy he recommend failed to performance. Unless there are other information not yet known I don't understand how twinskenny can be held responsible for this guys act. He was trying to help both the client and the borehole guy. Yoruba say help me carry luggage can't become the luggage owner (gba ran mi o ki di eleru) 4 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt: @N3xt. your approach is very good. However, nairaland is a market place with many characters. When someone is in diaspora and is transacting business in thousands of dollars or millions of naira over the internet with people one has never met , people tend to be very nervous and sensitive. Even then, a lot of issue get resolves behind the scene between contractors and clients. As stated earlier, this is a market place with kings and queens as well as drama kings and drama queens and their court jesters. By the way the borehole guy is ok so far with me. Yes there have been instances that I wish he could have provide suitable solution instead of just doing it as it was been done. That is not particular with him alone, it is the commonality among Nigerian artisans. I have seen artisans trying to install burglary on internal window ![]() When I see things I don't like and I asked him to fix it, he does it without argument. When he put water filter with a filter that will have to be replace at least once a month by the water tank, I asked him to bring it down to lower height where people don't have to be climbing ladder to replace it. He said because of children. I told him that I am ok for children to break it than for someone to fall from the ladder in an attempt to replace the filter. I hope he is giving you feedback that I am treating him well. 2 Likes |

sonnie10: You are on point . Not paid for the borehole I did 2 or 3 weeks ago at akala up till today , not even been called yet for payment .But then the guy has been doing all my boreholes for the past 15 years , been supplying me cement for another 10 years Trust / reputation / capacity of person or entity Involved is also key in deciding to commit your own funds on behalf of a customer regardless of the number of years you have been doing business together . 3 Likes |

Dijita: I’m following everything. I asked if you’re satisfied and he said “To a large extent “Yes” but he had to rework the external pipe around external staircase area blah blah...” When I give recommendation/referral, I don’t go to sleep without confirming that things are moving as expected. It’s as good as I am the one handling the job. I always do my best to help these guys become better at what they do. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: POP is not the only way to go ceiling in Nigeria, but it's definitely the most appealing out of the affordable ceiling alternatives(POP, suspended ceiling, "asbestos ceiling" and pvc ceiling) in the country. There is treated wood ceiling, flute panel ceiling, 3D ceiling and even flat insulated sheet rock ceiling like the 2nd pics you uploaded. These ceiling alternatives will conviniently rate 3 - 4 times the rate of POP precast ceiling. 3 Likes |

micgray100: Apologies for such thing. So many hypocritical elements in this forum having different standards for different people and these people are the supposed foreign intellectuals that see themselves better than PMB and one even have the audacity to be disrespectful in speech. Anyone claiming to be of high morals should remain so and stop all this double standards. Since the contractor have said his balance should be paid to enable him complete the job then the referee whose account received the initial payment should pay that balance to the contractor and upon completion of the job the client can pay the balance back to the referee.

rmx: ![]() ![]() Something that we’ve been trying to achieve without result... Just recently, I did 28 tons of iron rods and truck load of cement in Ibadan without collecting upfront payment. Guess what, my client went behind back to get the contact details of my source. What do you make of this sir? It goes both way. I told my supplier to deliver it though but this action gave me true understanding of how cheap some clients can be. ________ In this same place, I’ve started a project N55m for a client who had only N3.5m in his account. He drives a N23m Benz ![]() I moved in as much materials into the project just to impress him but had to move them back when I realize he’s playing games. ________ Just as Horlardorjah shared, no builder/contractor has the x-ray vision to know a client that’ll default or won’t. It’s a huge risk more especially on the contractor if things go south. 1 Like |

Dijita: Kindly read @bixton message sir. This is Nigeria! And I’m not really surprised anymore because even our locals (who hasn’t been to MMIA) do better than those who have travelled far and wide in managing workplace/construction project conflicts. Assuming this allegation was leveled against some select target here, we know the number of pages that’ll be on this matter. By that time, gba ran mi maa di eleru That’s why you see them use cheap blackmails and propagandas like APC to witch-hunt their presumed enemies. Call them to prevail on simple Contractor/Client issue, they’re neither here or there. They don’t understand the power of simple dialogue in managing conflicts. I love these guys though because they teach me how not to live my life. 1 Like |
