Went to check out a newly built apartment recently and I discovered that the painter painted over the plastic wrapper on the door frame instead of first removing it and wiping clean the surface.

To me getting the right skill-set worker in a Nigerian artisan is one thing ....their pricing is yet another. No wonder people prefer the Togolese and Beninois workers to the Nigerians angry


euromilion:


Its so annoying how they do business over there,very unprofessional and I can tell you that many would get turned off using local services because of their inadequate pricing for services.

The other day someone recommended a Togolese tiler to me,I gave the chap a call,immediately,the man went straight to telling me it's 250naira per sqm,if it was a Nigerian they'll start by saying its 500 naira first.I hate that.

Am up for the support of local businesses,but they seriously need to change their ways.

Just take a look at people selling things here,they rarely post their prices,because they are constantly thinking on how to make you their next victim.I SMH.

sorry for my late response. I traveled, just come back. The sofa total set with middle table I paid USD1300, transport USD600, Clearance Naira260k I paid in Lagos. They have a transport and clearance agent, it's also a Chinese company. My kitchen is not big, I paid USD700, transport USD80, clearance Naira 31K. Their price is not so cheap, but when I see their goods, I like their quality,and all my friends like these China products. That's why I come here. Its simple, not to promote China goods. By the way, am living at NFE, lekki area in Lagos.

The price is very reasonable. Did you have to pay thru their website or thru their agent in Nigeria?

Hi, I made payment of US dollars for the goods to their Builder Union Group company account, and tranport & clearance I paid directly to their transport agent office in Lagos, though all of these payment before shipping, at least it made me feel at ease since I was paying to two independent parties. You can also make full payment of goods cost and transport and clearance to Builder Union themselves, but paying to two companies should be better to protect ourselves.

Very good. At least you got the goods you paid for, and happy about it. They look good.

ok, i understand u guys trying to be loyal and all that,

but to call a spade a spade, those furnitures are beautiful cool cool

and i bet it will be nicely done.

u can get the naija furniture maker to make it but it wont be as clean, and it might never get done
come today come tmrw undecided

dealing wit trade people in nigeria is painful, from tailors to to market women, look away and they will remove from
the crayfish or squeeze a nylon bag into the measuring cup before using to sell u rice.

aint no body got time time undecided

You are right.

Planning to build another duplex @ ibadan for rent, it is too hard to get USD now. that's my problem. Someone said Naira will become steady when it comes to 350 per USD, is that true?

The truth is that nobody knows. Whatever you want to do, just do it.
