Thanks

The current market prices in my location of some iron rods in pieces are as follows ;
16mm N4800
12mm N2800
8mm N1400

If you consider that I bought these same materials on the 16th of this January 2017 for

16mm N3200
12mm N1850
8mm N950

then you cannot afford not to shout "Nigeria we hail thee" grin This is like a 50% jump in only one week.

Advance planning for any project is dead. Giving a quotation for a time exceeding 3 days before payment is futile. Being owed is like losing money. But how can you tell those you have agreed to a fixed price that you can no longer start the project at the agreed price, after just one week?

Which way Nigeria?

wait... things keep on increasing everyday. God will help us.

The best thing is to give 7days validity for every quotation sending out.

They have come to a billateral agreement for the work to be finished by next week when his balance will be paid and everybody will be happy. This time legal involvement is present. So far so good. Thank you all.

Special thanks to all my "Otelemuye" who dug him out.
"Small Body Big Engine" thank you very much.

Hajji M.

Thanks Hajji Muftau for facilitating the digging out of this guy. Yes he has committed to finishing the work by next week. He confirmed that he abandoned the work because the project sum we agreed to could not finish the work. He could have come back to me and plead his case instead of abandoning the project. Has Hajji mentioned we came to an agreement for a variation in project sum and he is committed to completing the job by end of next week.
I will keep you all posted if he does not come through on his commitment.
Thanks

And thank you for your patience on the matter and for letting him finish the job.

Very good. But you/they for let the end rest/join with the fence. If you look carefully I don't much useful space between the fence and the security house. May be it's just in the picture though.

The bold is enough to permanently blacklist this guy from any work. The statement does not show any seriousness and professionalism.

This is not an excuse in my opinion, you cant abandoned the job just because price raise along the way. When he did that what did think will happen to his repetition? even with his repentance, his name as been stain. I don't understand why most of these young guys act as if they are senseless.

You're too gracious but I'm glad that your method worked for you.

As for me, he'll never step another foot on my property and I'll pursue him to the very end of the earth with extreme vengeance.
