I am asking base on my experience.

During the project the client becomes very responsive but as soon as it gets to payment.

It takes the client ages to pick call

It takes the client several messages from you before he or she response

Excuse will be, I was very busy.

Developer share your payment plans or approach it might help a lot.

Never work without a deposit and never deliver work until full payment. They all come with the excuse that they've been scammed by other developers, always tell them that their trust issues does not constitute an emergency for you.

Bro it happens un both sides. I've hired more than 10 persons here on NL and after initial payment or full payment excuses start to come up or even not attending to chats anymore.

I'm in serious mess because of these guys now. I've lost over 500k from just hiring people here.

Some will start so well and at the end just stop for no reason.

I will not pay a dime to any developer until finished work to my taste.

Instead I go to fivver or Indians... Sorry that's how it works.

Give a nairalander and e o turn story for the god's.

I generally don't outsource anything I've no idea about.


Don't work with poor clients that's the advice I'd give you.

You in particular keep searching for script kiddies and you never have a reasonable budget, you can't be dirt cheap and expect to work with professionals.

hmm 🤔 the bad part is that the people that do things with integrity, honesty and fear of God in delivering their results of their works are very few. Trust on people have been lost. no more trust again.
