bixton: This is just common sense! What exactly will police do sef? Charge the guy for abandoning work or absconding with money, stealing, OBT or irreconcilable differences? Or just bully him to refund all the monies paid to him? And we are here complaining against the inhuman treatment of Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho and other Nigerians by the government Is it that the guy didn’t visit the site to do the job? If he had issues with his machine (which could happen to any of us) and need his balance to get it fixed, why can’t the referrer give him or loan him the money he’s requesting for just as bixton shared. I don’t know when police turned into money recovery organization though. Pls can someone tell me exactly what'll be the charge against the guy when arrested/picked? Lie as usual /// XYZ stole N5m from a project of N300k Was it like he disappeared from the site with all his equipment after he stopped work and complained about faulty equipment? This is the essence of the message we preach about taking ownership. As Dijita is following up his project, I’m also doing same on an hourly basis to avoid situation where we’d have to be chasing ourselves up. Let’s stop blaming SARS/SWAT when they barge on us on the street because we gave them their new unconstitutional role. ________ Pics - follow up message/chats while the plumber I recommended is handling Sir Dijita’s borehole and external plumbing.

InvertedHammer: Good morning Sir, In Enugu, check G.N. Ibekwe, Aikez or Kurpas. They all are around the Ugwuaji road, Loma Linda estate side of the road. There are just too many direct importers in Onitsha that I dont even know the one to name. Check Brasco at the building materials international market at Ogidi. All these people are loaded with many different classes of tiles, including original Spanish tiles. 1 Like |

n3xt: Can only speak for myself . If I see value I will continuously use you , I still benchmark and do price checks regularly to put even old contractors in check . for some people by reason of the scale of operations you can’t be mobilizing contractors daily or even weekly for everything ,it’s Not just possible Maybe the person didn’t see the value of your taking the effort to organize and supply the items at your own cost or maybe he dint see the value in the price differential if he had sourced it himself 2 Likes |

I’d go elsewhere if it was me and not through the backdoor or in a backstabbing manner. I’m not that cheap even when I know I’m being cheated. But then we are guided by our moral compass. 5 Likes |

What an interesting read. This goes back to us as Nigerians It's an indictment that as Nigerians, we're terrible people if I am to interpret what has been said so far by different people on this thread. What now happens to the "not so bad" ones that are in the minority? What should they do since virtually everyone is a potential criminal? How then do we grow with the mindset that the next man standing beside you is about ripping you off? Nigeria is what it is today because of everyone of us! 4 Likes |

An artisan can do a good job for you and mess up on another site you recommend him to. Are you liable because you recommended him?

Dijita: And the same Yoruba says Agbepo laja kodabi eni togbale ( Person wey steal palm oil from ceiling criminal case no reach person wey help him collect am from ground) I know @Twinskenny did it in good faith as he rightly said but the buck still stops "on his table.' @N3XT has helped me with sharp sand and the money went straight into his account and the material got delivered. It was @N3XT I was calling when the guy no gree show on time. Twinskenny has sold an item worth 100k upfront for me without even knowing me personally and his money wasn't paid until few days after as we both agreed. Based on my previous interaction and transaction with him, I would agree he has no intent of "commission' on the transaction. I would agree if na the balance go make the guy complete the job, twinskenny should volunteer the 50k and let the guy complete the job if indeed he is willing to do it. I believe the owner won't mind giving you some 'quids ' when the job is done. 2 Likes |

folmus: Why should I? I’ve seen far worse here but does it define me “No!” Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. It’s simply your opinion which necessarily doesn’t define me. Here’s something I know and that I also teach my kids, “When people point fingers at you, look to where their other three fingers are pointing.” It reveals their insecurities and a reflection of their low self-esteem. Does this mean there are no terrible black people? No! There are lots of them out there but I’m not one. When you refrain from telling the truth all the time, you’re terrible black man! When you claim someone stole N5m from a million naira project just to paint him black, you’re a terrible black man! When you ask a contractor to supply goods without making payment and run away with the goods, you’re a terrible black man! When you sell wood for the price of gold to an unsuspecting client, you’re a terrible black man! When you obtain quotations from several contractors to counter professional quote prepared by your QS, you’re a terrible black man! Why not pay the contractor what the professional bill recommend? Simple! Again why should I feel bad? Just as there are terrible blacks, there are also Terrible White People. 3 Likes |

folmus: He he he!!! Who else are you supposed to call? The association of sand suppliers, the Baale of the community or the police who have no jurisdiction on the matter? If you can’t stand for the person you’re recommending, don’t make any recommendation. Even our last transaction that didn’t go as planned really didn’t go well with me because the iron bender didn’t do exactly what I asked him to do. You should know I’m prepared to make instant refund if not that you insisted. That’s who I am! 1 Like |

somehow: Taking ownership is how we started our journey. I’m glad I had a PASS in my first test. Till date, I’ve not recovered the fund from the guy who was meant to supply you the cement. Thank God I didn’t tell you to sort it out with him as I’ve played my part by recommending him to handle the supply Thank God I didn’t tell you I’ve reported to the association of cement supplier, the police, NIA, EFCC, ICPC and nairaland warriors and we should await their final verdict. I took responsibility for the delay and make alternative arrangement for the supply because I brought the guy upon you. I won’t be liable if I didn’t recommend him. _______ I wouldn’t know if that singular act earn me your sweet project Thank you for choosing not to wear the black label. 3 Likes |

diordaves: Black label The word black was coined for a reason to address a particular race. I hope you know you are not black? Do a thorough research on the history of that label to understand me proper. I also don't call Causasians, Hispanians, Asians "Oyinbo" or "Whites". Again, do a research to understand how white label came about. Yoruba adage says "Oruko longbo eniyan". People who answer that black label behave in certain ways all over the world, just do your research sir. Heard of Ying Yang theory before? 1 Like |

n3xt: Sir, if you observe me well since we started business, you'd see that I always talk about owing up to responsibility. I also try not to be found wanting, meaning I take care of what I should take care of without pushing my responsibilities to others. When I know I won't be able to carry out the responsibility, I delegate and pay the delegate what is worth his or her time. Our lack of taking responsibility is killing us as Nigerians. No one wants to take responsibility, we love to blame others for things we should be in charge of. Remember the cement issue? I told you I don't know the cement guy and its you that I know and I made sure you played your part even though it took time. (I paid to you and negotiated everything with you). I pray the current business end well with you. Not to boast, the materials I asked of you was to do a road leading to my office just 1 year into moving there. I met people on that street with big big cars, they all kept waiting for useless LG to come fix the covet leading into their homes and offices. They didn't protest, they didn't go there daily to disturb the LG chairman, they only wrote letters (2) in 5 years to the LG. The LG is just 2 minutes drive from the street and 5 mins walk. Veyy sick mindset we have in this part of the world. BTW, I own no property in the said area! 4 Likes |
