michlins:
Good morning everyone and compliments of the season.

I have been contracted to construct a 38ft tank stand in Enugu. I hope you take out time from your very busy schedule to follow me on this journey.

Thank you all and stay blessed. Follow the project on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4088969/classy-iron-works/8

EgunMogaji2:


As much as I trusted Gbadexy even local man catch small fear and I had to check fess with Hajji before sending deposit.

Eniyan buruku ti ba eniyan rere je.

I have a NairaLander in diaspora that wants to buy a plot from me. We’ve been at it now for a while. He’s very apprehensive and I completely understand him. The damage that these issues cause will come and bite all of us service providers sooner than later. Na national cake

EgunMogaji2:


Old timers will know my long standing love for Skimanski.

I died a little inside when someone complained to me about him with receipts. I still love him and apportioned it to schedule issues but it’s not my money on the line.

I’ll still manage my local Baba Latis but I’ll continue to closely mark them.

hamtabfawaz:


Chai... Sorry about your Pop experience.

I think the Majority of the Problem for the second bolded is because most artisans/workers/contractors receive more jobs than they can handle: FOR example = An artisan/contractor getting 2/3 or even 4 jobs within the same time / closer time frame and not knowing, how to effectively manage it. What he/she does is to collect money from all 4 clients, & promise all the 4 client ,to start work by Monday which is impossible. So He decides to start client A work first because his pay is higher, he would then give client B , C & D excuses until client A works enters week 2, he would leave client A job & start doing client B work for three days & then jump to client C work, then client A would be complaining about his uncompleted job, while client B would be complaining about how he abandoned his job & Client C would be complaining about how it took so long for him to start his work & client D would be complaining about being defrauded, the Artisan would eventually have to return client D's money (which he might only return 80% because he already spent 20% from it). A worker collecting 90% of his money before the start of a project, does not stop him/her from being responsible, Negligence of duty & irresponsibility is a choice (A bad one at that). it falls on the individual.


Why these Artisans/contractors/workers behave in this manner? it's because of greediness caused by poverty (while some are not caused by poverty, they're just naturally greedy & irresponsible).

Their Mentality (for behaving that way) is: i don't want to lose any of these potential jobs by prospective client, So the only way to keep this jobs, is to collect money from all the client, so they won't give the job to another Person.

The result of such behaviour: They'd end up losing all the jobs & clients.

The Solution Artisans/Contractors/Project Managers/WorkMen should not take more than they can handle. it's not bad to say “Please Sir, I have a project at the moment, I would not be available to start a new one until two weeks, if you're not in a hurry, I would be available in two weeks, but if otherwise, you can contract to someone else, am available if you have any questions, Thank you” you can have pending jobs, so inform potential new clients about it. Be truthful about your availability & Time frame.
On clients part: Please always try to ask workers about their availability for your job, don't be in a hurry to start, it's not bad to ask whoever you're contracting if he/she has job at the moment or pending jobs. Be sure about their availability.

My own Approach I attend to my clients on a first come first serve (FCFS) basis. And usually Truthful about my availability, if there is a change in time, I quickly notify my clients about it.
I learnt this from past experience (things I witnessed from others) & Am still Learning as it help one grows, I Learn & Apply.

Nota Bene: My comments / long epistle is about “Workers not doing clients job at the right time -client chasing workers to do a job they've been payed for! - Workers absconding with Client's money - workers delaying client's job for days/weeks before starting after receiving payment without any reasonable excuse!.” My comments are not directed to a particular person, directly or indirectly. My comments is addressing a general issue , directed to all clients & all of us: Artisans/Contractors/CraftsMen/Engineers/Operations Managers/ Project Managers/Vendors/WorkMen.

We all make mistakes & no one is ever Perfect, but the ability to learn from mistakes & grow from it makes one Unique.. ✓✓✓

@michlins, come and see your friend

This story dating back to 2012 confirms this narrative

dapotemi:


It's here ALREADY, I think @radautowork gives a lifetime warranty on her brake pad purchases..She's in lekki and on nairaland too..Although she no Dey comment often as before, she say our wahala too much...Shes one of those that relocated from the abrodians..lol

EgunMogaji2:


They have a franchise for CarQuest - I'm sure you've seen them in the USA. I consider the RadAutoWorks family friends.

Despite some contrary opinion, Seun and his NairaLand platform has made serious and savvy users millions of naira over the decade. I've sold at least 10 plots of land to NairaLanders over the past 365 days. I'll always be grateful. I think NairaLand is very good for business. The inability of some to grasp online sales and customer relation shouldn't be used as a measuring stick. I'm sure I'll be a lousy yam seller at Ojo Oba and blame the market at the end - lol.

If you ever visit RadAutoWorks you'll get the same feeling as if you entered AuzoZone - I guarantee you.

these couldn't have been spoken any better

michlins:
how many people want minimalistic designs in Nigeria. You folks in this thread are somewhat living outside of reality seriously.

You guys have been berating Nigeria artisans for a few days now. If you think what we're doing is easy, kindly do it. The reason designs are repeated is because that's what our society wants. We want it big or nothing.

Being an artisan in Nigeria is very very difficult. You want to do something different whereas you don't know how the market will accept it and it's not like you have the funds to test new waters. Getting tools is very very expensive and even when you manage to get it, they will still compare your prices with what others are charging thereby demoralizing you.

What is the purchasing power of Nigerians. How many people can afford treated hardwood. The few who could simply would import it from Dubai.

Biko, if you don't want the artisans are currently making, take your own design and give them to make for you or you can simply import same.

. . . Who provoke michlins this lovely evening

tonystark007:
Professional Drivers what will you do in this situation?

michlins:
Spyder880, INZE and others too numerous to mention. You guys deserve all the love and happiness life can bring

tydi:



Try giving from your heart next time.
And again let intuitions move you and instincts

michlins:
you're the one who is concerned about growth and integrity.

Many cares about that quick buck and nothing else

somehow:


Twinskenny is a man with integrity so far so good.
Thanks for saving some cash for this builder.

Never worked with Topsy23 before but I want to believe he's also a man of integrity.

People that value money more than their name can kill if the money is worth it.

BrickDevo:

The Bolded is the problem, is the mentality of i don't need it, and it doesn't really matter or it is expensive, in Nigeria interior decoration is a thing of luxury which only the rich can enjoy and few middle class.
when it comes to luxury i don't think it has to do with why, it has to do with can i afford it, the service usually seems fit for who can afford it cos without it your house will still be habitable.
