Chekitaut: Check-it-out! I can relate with your challenges up there. I agree that Nigeria is one wild environment where things dont always go according to plan and l can only pray and wish you more growth and success, in your chosen occupation. Just keep trying to put in your best and be extremely OPEN with your Customers, they will understand and be considerate. once they come to understand that your YES, is your YES. It is just like Husband and Wife, once you TRUST your Wife, it odes not matter what happens, she only needs to inform you and you will find a way to accommodate it/her but once there is no trust, no matter what she says, there will always be suspicion and that is where the trouble stars from. So, HONESTY and TRUST are the two most important ingredient, along with HUMILITY, to grow a business. I have a very strong feeling you are rebuilding and coming back stronger, dont relent, God is your strength. Let me go to the funky part: I know it is not easy to save but 'savings' is the first money we 'spend' (keep aside) when we get salary or make profit. 1) Keep money aside, to build your business. 2) All these banks that see the turn-around in yoru business, can you approach them for a Loan, can you access Govt, business loans, to grow your business? 3) Since you cant afford buying a truck, just like that, can you buy a Smaller vehicle (Bus, Van, Canter, etc) that you can use in running smaller business, so it brings you income that you can now keep saving till it gets to the point where you can use it as a collateral to obtain a bigger bank loan? 4) Are you honest and straightforward enough, to the point that one of these Diasporeans can go into business partnership with you, send a truck down to Nigeria and you operate it on a 40/60 basis (or any other suitable percentage), saving most of your own part and looking forward to either buy-out the Oga in London/America or just build the business more and more, on the basis of that formula? I am making these suggestions because l think you cannot allow yourself to be subject to all those problems, real problems above. You have to start thinking of stabilising your business and building a name for yourself. You wont be able to do so, if you have to depend on those drivers for the success of your business name. Nigeria is a harsh business environment. Forgive me for carrying your matter on-top of my head, na those Poisoned Indomie Palliative dey worry me. God bless your hustle, keep is honest and simple. 5 Likes |

Takoro13: Price of Building materials ALWAYS GO UP as we approach December, because everyone wants to rush, complete and move-in between Christmas and New Year! Me, l always start building or making financial purchases in mid January, when everyone is Broke! That way, l get the best for my kobokobo. If Landlord is not acting funny, just wait for some weeks, price will come down definitely. 3 Likes |

coretechng1: I can name five to seven Builders here who will do a better job than any Chinese Company out there in Lekki Axis. Just ask. If you say German, European, American, Japanese, maybe you will be right but "Chinese working in Nigeria"? It is like looking for a Honest Lebanese in Nigeria, you will search tire because they are all crooks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jasobry: Waoh! Waoh!! Waoh!!!(dont worry, that is just me sounding like a Police Dog in front of a bank ) Your Roof colour is very nice. The height is also not too excessive and the fact that your broke it up with shapes and that pigeon hole, makes it look really, really nice. Welldone. more grease to your elbow. PS: I hope you will chose very complimentary colors, for the walls so that it can really bring out the beauty with the Roof. No shouting or primary colours, my opinion |

Ibk2020: Report the matter to the whole house here, with clear evidence of what happened. House will look into it and ask him for his own version and then House will advise on the next step. We have a duty to protect everyone here (Client, Suppliers, Contractors, Hobbists, etc) and sanitise the environment. One Person can cook for a whole Community, that is fine! But very dangerous when a whole Community Cook for you...... Whatever we bound on Earth, is bound in Heaven. 2 Likes |

michlins: Thats nice to hear. You can keep the payment schedule and amount between the two of you for now (we dont really need to see the figures) unless "something like American election" happens. Dont show us the very private communications between the two of you (at least for now), he might not like it posted, just for privacy reasons. We trust you and we trust him until anyone proves otherwise. But you can keep updating us on the progress of the work` Weldone 2 Likes |

KIDfurniture:I know some paint brands offer products with anti growth property but I can't promote another brand since I own a brand and my products offer both properties. You could specifically ask for paints with anti growth or anti algae/fungi. Screeding may prevent it but the binder would have to be much so that it's not porous to allow absorption moisture and it has to be preferably a basecoat or acrylic based screeding materials. The various bond used to screed are PVA and even on their own don't withstand moisture. If you use them for paint and wet it, it would soften and rub easily when rubbed. I assume if the plastering was rich in cement and it's dense, you may not experience the growth since it won't allow for water to be soaking much or staying long on the surface. |

Ibk2020: Good morning @ibk2020 If people ask questions on this platform and building professionals chose to stay silent, we feel bad. What did you do to the architect who draw the initial design that you condemned despite all the advices given to you? He’s not a nairalander right and he has nothing to lose. Whatever you’re doing right now say a lot more about you than Dennis? Even if Dennis is wrong and you are right, I think you should counsel the young guy and not expect someone like me to clap for you for trying to bring down a young and promising guy - that’s if you know better than him. I noticed even Hajj mufutau55 stepped in. I chose to go silent on you when I saw your approach. That’s the mistake Dennis made. Instead of a confrontation, next time spell out terms and condition of your service before going ahead with any client. I repeat ANY Good to see your project is advancing. More brick and mortar to your project. Edit: My post is in no way trying to defend Dennis (I dont even know him). I just believe we can do better as human. _______ For those who’d pick on me, I’m not well o and I can take Nairaland vacation for you to sooth yourself. 1 Like 1 Share |
