I think you are missing the point. Let me try again.

The title Engineer is found in several professions. This is not just a Nigerian issue. Yes, Nigerians give undue recognition to titles but it doesn't mean we should use those titles anyhow. I have worked with Europeans who have never refer to themselves as Engineers as the title is being used in Nigeria but these guys have 40-60yrs professional experience. In their country, a Bachelor's degree is called a Diploma. Their profession is still Engineering and they are qualified Engineers.

All these being said, if you as an Engr wish to use the Title Engr instead of Mr. you need the law to back you up. An artisan cannot use that title unless he is qualified and the law gives him the title.

Now to analogies.
A law graduate is a lawyer but a law graduate called to bar is a Barrister! A lawyer can never be a Barrister without the bar (law) that gives him the right to bear the title.
A medical school graduate is not a Doctor until he has appropriately taken the oat.
A Professor is a professional rank and the title can only be used when the senate of awarding institution confers the title.
A person elected to the Senate cannot be called a Senator until he is sworn to office.
An Engineering school graduate is not an engineer until the title awarding body appropriately gives him the certification to bear the title.

Every other Title that any person can bear before his name has to be given by law.

You are in the UK and I believe you should be privy to how a person can earn the tilte Sir or Lord. Can anyone by himself award such title?

An Engineer is a title and has to be awarded by an instrument of the law. Therefore there are rules on who is qualified and who is not in every single title you can name.

Excuzeme:


Aaah, here in Anambra, once you donate regularly to the Church, you can use the title of Sir, before your name.`
Sir Ejiofor
Sir Emeka Offor
Sir this, Sir that.

But you are right.
The title "Engineer", is a Professional title that is awarded and confered by a Professional body of Engineers, after specified academic and experience qualifications are taken into consideration.
That is how it is everywhere, including the U.K
All Engineers are Certified as Engineers, that is why they are called Engineers.
Anything other than that does not make you an Engineer but you may have other appropriate titles for your level.

Hmmm... I'm very interested in this story... I'm also waiting for him to deliver my materials ...

There is a certified fraud I know in here though, his moniker akinolaolujide... I gave him, a job worth over 1million+ and he ran away with my money, it been over a year +, and he's in here posting and decieving people, I'm coming for him very soon

Aventures:
These are allegations until proven otherwise. @chekiaut kindly speak up. Even me,my ears are full from different people via calls and messages.

Timtol:

True they are still allegations..... he promised to deliver my materials this week... So I'm waiting still .. but for akinolaolujide, I double dare him to come out and defend himself

segzy14:
Chekitaut is a fraud, deal with him at your own risk.
It has been 7days I paid him N180,000 to deliver 30tons of granite and he hasn’t, telling all sort of lies. Better refund me or you won’t do business on nairaland anymore .

bixton:


7 days........
This is the last of news I expect to hear that may stand against Chekitaut and funny, another person is having the same issue.

Anyways down where I deal the seller is supposed to use his/her funds to source for the material and gets paid once delivery is made, even if its midnite. This method only stands logically for maximum of 60 tons of granite to be supplied at once.

I hope he clears himself off this issue without prolonging the issue.

Timtol:

Once put calls to him about two tines but he might not know trying to confirm some quotes and prices of Spanish and Italian tiles,immediately I discovered Darenyx has worked with him this built my trust,but thank God didn't later buy from him maybe my client won't have believe me again sef,would have been in trouble.....Thank you Jesus!!!

Badgers14:
One of the greatest attitude to have in business is communication.

I dont know if checkitaut is sick or what is making him to fail to deliver to his clients but either way communication is the key. If he was having hard time with his workers/suppliers causing the delays.. why not communicate to his clients??

Lots of times, we are all dependent on some other people to help us deliver to our clients , if those individuals fail that trickles down to us, causing us to fail our clients. But again communication is the key, dont be shy, be honest tell your client what happened and work with them to resolve the issue.

I have been in a number of incident like this, a guy that was supposed to do some work for me, paid him, sourced materials , 2 week later.. dude was still no show, I called him raging and his response oh, my wife just had a baby... am like didn't you know your wife was pregnant for the past 9 months? Do you know if my own wife was pregnant too or ..... but at the end of the day.. this is business.. the Client have blood flowing in their veins also and we all do have plans , don't we

Another situation on site, my in law didn't tell me about it, where I thought the project was was not actually where it is.... dude used the money to settle village people, youth, elders etc that was disturbing the build.... I wasn't happy with him, his response was, he didn't know how to tell me, I might think he chopped the money, he is trying to see how he could patch things and stretch the remaining budget.. and he got me thinking, now you got me upset and all and this is sth that's beyond your control and I have already envisioned where the project should have been and now here we are!!! Did you patch things up then or made it worse?

Bottom line, communication is the key.. if you can't deliver tell your client, refund them as necessary... it the circumstances was beyond your control and the money is gone because of some unforeseen circumstances, still communicate with the client or supplier as the case might be and work something out... keeping silent makes matters worse.

gbadexy:
@oga chekitaut, the silence is getting louder. we are sure something serious must have happened but we would still like you to clear these weighty allegations.

Chekitaut:
Good evening all, i was informed of several post from a friend here about Segzy post. Yes i hv never d9 u paid me oof service wish is yet to be delivered. is a pity d urgly incident occurred anyway.
