Good day all, good day MOD,

This is a first line of action against Gbenga aka Checkitout.

This is reporting his fraud and obtaining money from me under false pretenses.
He claimed he makes blocks and I paid for same.
This is after having supplied sand, granite, and cement.

I will have to take this up with necessary law agencies.

I am bringing this here to first let prospective patrons know what manner of person he is. His ability to lie is unparalled and deception comes to him naturally.

I hope he refunds my money which is in the upper 6 digits else this Christmas will be one that we'd both be visiting Alagbon together.

This is very sad. I think you are the second person (victim) or third with such complaints. And it is sad for ALL. This is the problem the diaspora are experiencing with homebase fellow countrymen and women - TRUST. And this lack of trust and the inability of the average Homebase Nigerian to get a simple job done without milking the job or blatantly stealing from the client is fueling poverty, joblessness and holding back business and investment in Nigeria. This is where the problem of stagnant Nigeria economy lies, not Buhari.

You can't just do business on the go in Nigeria. Impossible. You have to go about it like you are walking through the valley and shadow of death. And you MUST fear every evil. The average Nigerian can't honestly deal; no matter how simple the contract is, no matter how small the amount involved. Dishonesty in whichever form is embedded in so many Nigerians' DNA. Don't get me wrong, there are a few good men and women in Nigeria but finding a principled honest and disciplined Nigerian to engage is a very difficult prospect.

I appreciate you finally brought this to the open for which I'm a beneficiary as I was about to engage him after the Christmas celebration for a Warehouse project. Some have come here to say they have had such dishonest experience with so so and so but they don't want to mention the name. I find such approach not right as this is a forum to share experiences so as to build on a body of knowledge to smoothly execute our various projects and to build meaning alliances with the few good men and women. So anyone who has been dealt a bad card but doesn't bring it to the open is selfish and even part of the problem really. I commend you and hope you find the right solution.

What practical measures have you taken so far to resolve this or at least recover your money?

I don’t know what has come over this guy “Chekitout” I still charted him up yesterday about Segcy14 balance. I don’t get good response from him. After I posted the mediation results here btw me and him with Segcy14 some weeks ago. Yet no balance, this is another one again, and some are yet to be reported also.
May God help him and all of us

Please a 1/8 granite chips 20 tons cost how much? Delivery to ibeju lekki.

A paving stone molder said he will charge me NGN550 per square meter, this amount involves molding the stones and laying the stones. The molder will also provide the rubber molds.
Is the amount a good deal?

Please assist with your opinions

Morning House,
I just received this quotation from my Capenter to roof my 5 bedroom bungalow house in Kaduna. Please is this quotation ok.
Thanks in advance for your review

segzy14:


Are you saying 2x2,2x3 and 2x4 are sold for 2000naira each?

rusep:


The 2,000 the price 1 timber

segzy14:



Did you confirm this price?
The Labour is too much.

rusep:


Yes, i confirmed the price is 2,000. Please how much do you think the labour should cost?

segzy14:


Are the woods more than 12feet in length?
Start bargaining from 200k and don’t go beyond 300-350k and make sure you have concrete agreement with him so that he doesn’t come back for more. Make sure he understands the type of roof that he wants to do.

rusep:


The 2,000 the price 1 timber

rotecch77:


So wood is very cost in kaduna to this extent. (2x2 sold for N2000 each) ewooo

rusep:
I just confirmed from the market, they told me that 2x6 is equal to 1 timber.

segzy14:



If 2x6 is equal to 1timber=2000naira then 2x3,2x2 will be cheaper.
Shine your eyes.

twinskenny:

gbadexy:

Ameen, it's giving vendors bad image.
There are consequences for every action. Those involved should update us on the conclusion of these issues.
I have to speak out because it's bad for business here and I'm a stakeholder and beneficiary of this thread and forum.
