lastpage:To be honest it has never ever been the chinease fault but our brothers who go to the factory and demand low grades. The stuff from china that comes to the UK meet a specific industrial standard which we do not have in Nigeria.so anybody can ask chinease manufacturer to package anything they want and pay for it.

erico2k2:thank God someone here new how to build basic CNC machine for wood milling. Bros not only you want to go back to Naija, my self and other team off Engineers we're waiting for the light situation to improved to came back to start building industrial machinery like we used to do before we left Naija about 20 years ago. If we did then in various small scale companys like plastic, wood, glass, bottles, nylon, molds for shoes, even body lotion, can one imagine 20 year improve knowledge from the west. Again almost all this items material are locally source in Naija, it's a shame to situation that make us scatter all over. 2 Likes |

This is why I prefer products from USA (#1) and certain European countries. They have strict product control and they'll be hard pressed to wash down their products at the requests of ineffectual, kleptomaniac, corrupt and frankly moral less traders that litters the Nigerian business landscape. |

babalose: I am not sure if we are on the same "plane" here, Sir! You are talking about "Options" , like for example, if you buy a Car manufactured in America, there may be more "Options" in it (like Cruise control, ability to use internet Apps and listen/Watch TV stations on its screen, e.t.c .... compared to the same Car manufactured say in France. These are all Options, which we call "Spec". They are "additions to the "Basic standard" of a perfectly working car. In other words, your car is as good as any, without these "Options" and will do its job and last the mileage, as those with these "options". A lot of people, including myself, will buy an ORIGINAL product, with guarantee that it is the original, even at premium price! On the other hand, what we are discussing here is about "adulteration, cannibalization and faking" which is leading to the distribution of SUB-STANDARD/ NOT-FIT-FOR-PURPOSE GOODS. These sort of goods are dangerous and can kill in extreme circumstances. I have seen these "Nigerian standard" (as you put it, but l call it FAKE) Batteries burn some cars, l have seen fake door locks get stuck and lock house-owners out, l have seen fake Drugs worsen and kill already ill children (who did not know they were taking "chalk, instead of a prescription drug!), l have seen adulterated food send the innocent to hospital, l have seen "fake" Cable start a fire and burn houses, l have seen fake circuit breakers which refuse to perform its job and allowed circuit systems to be over-loaded. I have been tricked into buying supposedly "U.K standard" switches which went kaput within a few months of installation e.t.c. Infact, we cant compare or use "OPTIONS" .... to justify ADULTERATION/FAKE PRODUCTS. They are miles apart. We all (Nigerians) know what is good and what is right but we can decide to do what is wrong and evil..... or do the right thing. I suspect that the Chinese manufacturers have come to be able to identify "Nigerians" and know exactly what they would demand for. I dont see them asking an European or American or even anyone in "white skin" (very annoying!) such silly question whether they want Fake or original! They know the implications of bringing such "dead products" into their environment where the fill weight of the law will be visited on them. n3xt: These guys are simply CRIMINALS ...... but they like to think of themselves as "smart"! Like you pointed-out, its a complete failure of "the System" . From SON, to NAFDAC and other regulatory Agencies not doing their job properly or "looking the other way" after collecting some filthy lucre, to the Police being corrupt and the "Justice System" (Judges and Lawyers) being slow and full of corrupt practitioners. A combination of all these Agencies of Government is what has turned our environment to a very dangerous jungle for any upright person. I would not intentionally buy an expire Chewing gum for my neighbours daughter (not to mention my own daughter), yet some Nigerians go ahead to manipulate expiry dates on food items! I have heard the silly argument about "expiry date" not being "important" but l wonder if these people making such argument have any conscience or they are just after quick but illicit profit? Why not just buy a product that is 'in-date' and sell to the public.....when its not as if it is out of stuck and you have no-choice? Anyway, we are who we are. Lastpage!

I salute you people write up about tiles issue There are many factors that affect the building components/materials in Nigeria which I and you knows very well Let me take tiles and water closet as case study Most if not all tiles sold in orile and some company claimed and engraved as Spanish are real Spanish tiles the issue is that most Nigeria will go there and ask the Spaniards to reduce the standard so that 30pec of Nigeria can use something different from low chinko made that can serve at least 20-30yrs (how many home owner can think of using China tiles b4 let alone Spanish what most people use then was Angelita tiles and carpet,rug some even put paper on floor at village but now village people are now using porcelain tiles) although I don't support this level o o more so some big companies here in Lagos do sold good chinko tiles as Spanish YES I mean it but it a good standard all NBA packaging ....we know the level Naa .i no be jjc and I'm not sleeping I know what I'm typing although what influence this is bcs there cheap labour and cheap raw material in the land of chinkos .even some China tiles are more costly than Spanish YES. And the issue is that those company has a name to protect so they do select medium / high class of tiles for there customers but that doesn't mean good things doesn't come from orile but there are bad egg among good ones here (just like Nigeria poli.....) and one thing again if you get tiles for 3500 in company same tiles will sold for 3000 in orile don't be surprised it's the thing `orile are ready to sell and gain 100 or lesser per meter.bcs no much expenses to do, how many staff will he pay salary to, but company case it's not the same, I can continue but No much time now may be later 1 Like |

kenazuu: Dont try "Benin-Doors" at all! These guys make the best door anywhere l have seen in Nigeria. if only they can incorporate "proper finishings" into them, like laminating it to improve its aesthetics, l can bet their doors will best any door, anywhere in the world. I guess machinery and power is a factor is such refinement Lastpage! |

nextstep: I salute your thoughts Senor! We have a "get-rich-quick" mentality which means we can WAIT to invest and nurture business that will become profitable in say 5yrs time..... and remain profitable even into the next generation to come. Now factor that with our "bad" business environment where a small business has to virtually become its own "local govt" .... needing to provide its own Power, Road, Water, e.t.c. Its a high mountain to climb...... I am hoping the Govt, this Govt, will set the pace and we can build on it, as the years roll-by Lastpage! |
