Reading that story shows the guy is not serious

Some time its not the straightforward. They will first start with one part is bad, you buy that, next another part. Its not in Ladipo, I will ask my colleague at trade fair, 2 weeks later. The part no dey but on the next container e go dey.
2 weeks, this part don come lets fix it. He charges you money, fix it, the thing refuse to work, he blames the part and said there is One guy in Aspamda that is the only person who sells original. But it will take 3-4weeks wait

Till 9months go reach

Also because you have already spent some money with one mechanic, you will be hoping he can fix it instead of taking it to another one, start spending all over and he will later blame the previous mechanic

Also know the more hands dey touch the car, the faster e dey spoil

BlueRayDick:


I also agree with Izzou that the guy is not serious at all.

I no fit wait for one month before I go enter barrack carry 4 to 5 angry soldiers , roger them better and they deal with the stupiiid mechanic.

I don see person use recruit soldiers deal with a cousin of a police commissioner and nothing happen afterwards .

GloriousGbola:


From the story there was a subsisting relationship. And the guy had performed in the past. Which is the other part of the problem. Nigerians can switch on you very quickly

izzou:


Toor

So many ways to have ended this ordeal in one month.

9 months ke? Wetin you wan repair for 9 months?

Finally them don decongest apapa

Tin-Can Island Command boss disclosed that many vehicles remained uncleared and abandoned in the port arising from the high exchange rates

Total madness.

Let me just try to make sense of what the government is doing. There are less than a thousand 04-08 foreign used Corollas across Nigeria available for sale on Jiji. This used to run into thousands before now.

Even though they have increased clearing, they are no longer making as much money because far less people are importing cars. The local ones are still not being bought because the prices are far beyond the average Nigerian.

What then is the point?

Itsrm:


Reading through the post, I am almost certain the car is not a regular car. That mechanic may even be the best he has found. His options are limited.

If I am wrong and it's a regular car, then I can't make sense of his decision to leave it for 9 months.

Itsrm:


From the link you shared



I posted this in another thread. How is it that those in government can't just use common sense? They have not yet seen anything. They should come and take 1.9m from my pocket to clear a 20 year old car. Id1ots

izzou:


He said it is a Mercedes GL whatever

In major cities, we have auto shops that are very capable of troubleshooting these latest models.

Na that 9 month just dey funny.

The ports are making next to nothing from car imports.

Masterclass move, if you ask me

I am seeing inconclusive and a rerun in 90 days

Is this a lie?

DissTroy:


True. Execution is the difference between ideation and MVP. And execution costs resources, financial and otherwise.

The thing is, some VCs themselves don't want to sign NDAs so what's stopping them from passing your pitch deck to a direct competitor? Especially in Nigeria where such non-compete laws are ineffective? So bootstrapping it is for safety.

Erm, if you have a direct link to any of these VCs with fewer bureaucratic red tapes, I'd love to link the text generative AI team with them. They are post-revenue, but want to scale.

Iyin seems to be focusing on a completely different portfolio. Kola too.
