Flower Design Work In Nigeria: An Unappreciated Profession? by Bisowo(f): 11:45am On Jul 07, 2009 |
As a flower design artist, I've often wondered why Nigerians are not so hot on the beautification aspect of their spaces, whether homes or offices. I still don't have an answer. |

Bisowo, if we were permanently located in Nigeria I am sure we would appreciate your work because I am obsessed with this issue that it seems like the majority of Nigerians, don't want to spend money beautifying their homes. Most would prefer to spend money on a car, or clothes. Maybe this is because our family house in not located in Lagos or Abuja, where the average person earns a decent salary BUT it shocks me at the level of workmanship, crooked doors, bad paint jobs, splinters, buying cheap components and pocketing the rest of the money e.t.c. . It's just ridiculous, so many craftsmen/women work in the industry, but aren't even good at what they do. When will they learn that if a customer has a good experience using you, they will pass your name on, and you will be called back several times, all these builders, interior designers and general designers who just want the money and nothing else frustrate me. My advice is to just keep in it, if you truly love what you do, it will show. Location is also key, places like VI and PH and Abuja will probably have a bigger market for flower design, as opposed to the other more surburbial places in Nigeria. P.s. please post some pics of your work. . (unless it's against the forum rules.) |

Do you actually do this or thinking of doing it? Nigerians find it difficult to repaint their house talkless of beautifying it after initial design and painting every other thing takes a back seat but you also have to understand the economy, remember what people say to fashola- na tree we go chop? |
