Unwise impostor

I'm not an unwise impostor , young man. Islam is traditional to me by birth.Don't cancel my comments.

Swear to Allah if the Alfa/Imam in your place of worship did not tell you to boycott French products. That's the contention here.
Answer the question and I'll send proof.

Experience with St. Patrick's International Logistics based on what several people have complained about on social media

1. Timeliness: 0/10
Normal air cargo often takes more than 2 weeks & sea cargo takes more than 6 months.
The company has big challenges when it comes to keeping to time.

2. Price: 0/10
Prices often change when it is time for pick up after exposing the customer to long suffering. Price is not stable. Prices are not published on social media eg WhatsApp or website.

3. Size: 0/10
Company doesn't have large and multiple warehouses/pickup points in Lagos. They use a residential flat in Ajao with little space so large goods are left outside in the rain with no security man. Company uses rivals like Skycargo to ship & add their markup.

4. Customer service: 0/10 Company has no professional staff but rude, irritating & unprofessional staff. They don't always answer calls or respond to texts/chats.

5. Reliability: 0/10
The staff over-estimate weights & volumes. They don't have funtional tape or weighing scale in their Lagos office for confirmation of size and weight. Several disputes arise due to over invoicing. They can change other terms of agreement after collecting consignment eg destination, delivery mode.

6. Tracker with real time updates: 0/10
Tracking number is not provided to customers. They have no Web based tracker for monitoring time, location and status before pickup.

7. Compensation Policy for lost items: 0/10
Company does not acknowledge possibility of lost items even after 2 years & they don't have a written policy on compensation plan for lost or damaged items.

8. Goodwill: 0/10
Their reputation is stained due to extortion of customers. They are notorious for the following:
Failure to follow up with airline & shipper on timely shipments. Incurring demmurage & passing cost to client. Failure to settle custom duty & maintain good standings with the customs officials. Several people have openly expressed disappointment with the company on social media.

That's exactly where the problem is.

No one says truth and we keep deceiving ourselves.

You're calling me an impostor not because I didn't say what a Muslim teacher taught me in the mosque. You're calling me an impostor because you do not expect me to open up and tell the truth about what he said.

The cleric at Ansar-Ud-Deen Mosque expressly said last juma that we should not celebrate Christmas because by celebrating it we agree that Jesus was not the prohet of God but his son. If a thread comes up and says Muslims are tolerant, I'll automatically become an impostor because I told the truth about what a prominent scholar taught the last time I attended Mosque.

Forget everything, answer if you were not told to boycott French products at the Mosque.

Mine was a fairly large provisions store near my house. The owner is a Muslim and mostly gives preference to his Muslim brothers and sisters, especially around that time there was lockdown and scarce goods.

One day, I went there to buy something and didn't see the guy. There was a woman standing there in the shop, presumably waiting for the guy too. When I asked her, she said he's not around. So I left the shop. Outside the shop, someone else told me he's there, I should check properly. Only for me to actually see the guy hiding behind a big stack of indomie cartons. Since that day I can never go there. I rather walk 30 meters to get my stuff.

Second one was a woman that sells recharge card by my street. (Very close to my house, she knows my place). I've been buying from her since my JSS3 (I'm in College now). This year, I went to buy 1000 recharge card but unfortunately my cash was remaining 50 naira. Do you know this woman actually told her daughter to hold me so that I won't "Run"?!? Someone that I've know for years now. Since then she can go to hell abeg.

Why was he hiding from you?

When I was serving, my boss sent me to get some plates and papers for printing. Since it was my first time, I went to a shop I saw their banner from a distance. I told the guy what I wanted to buy, he gave me the price and I told him what I had isn't up to the price he quoted, then he looked away in a rude manner and said "Oya dey go front na". I asked him if it's me he's talking to in such a rude manner, he then apologised. I told him I was never going to step my foot into his shop any more and if he continues to talk to potential customers like this, his business won't survive the next 3 years.

Some people wonder why their business isn't moving but they don't know those little attitudes can mean a lot to people. I am someone who deals with first impression and that impression should be maintained no matter what.

Just last month I sold a power bank to someone and two weeks later, she called me that the device is faulty. I have called and texted her more than 3 times to return the item so I can change it. She's even the one telling me she doesn't have the time yet.
I don't like getting negative feedbacks from my clients and I try as much as possible to maintain that standard. it's not easy to get a customer talk more of keeping one. Good service will always reflect with more references from happy customers, that's just it.

MTN. their fraudulent charge and bonuses. the most annoying one is there borrowing of credit, you will want to borrow credit that they are sure of you paying back in moment, and they will be charging you at an interest rate of 15%!
that's outrageous our govt is just there looking at this reap off. double digits interest rate on credit I'll pay back now now.
besides they have this annoying algorithm that forces you to borrow higher credit when your credit rating is high. i.e removing#50, #100 from the options of borrowable amounts when borrowing. MTN understands that our govt don't care about us, so they treat us with scorn

I honestly don't know. Although He was having a meal but he definitely heard when I came in the shop asking for him. And also the woman in the shop waiting there for him, like WTH? The situation that day confused me. And I don't think he was hiding from me in particular.

There's a particular Addide mall not far from my house,I ordered Sharwama and he Said I should gives me some minutes to get the Sharwama ready,I waited for like 30minutes or so thinking of how I am going to munch the Sharwama kiss kiss. Could you believe this sold the Sharwama to somebody else because he paid extra money for the Sharwama. Since that day,I don't have any business with that particular Addide mall again.

Well, what made me to boycott a business..

Funds (Capital to Restart), nothing more.

I was in business before, sickness struck me. Wipe out all I had.

Some day, I will go back to business. With time everything will fall into places..

Business is sweet and profitable when you have your own. It makes you have time of your own.
