Nope two of you erred.. You both wanted to prove smart that's why you didn't agree on how to split it.. Save your friendship and agree to disagree.. |

no fixed amount. If he guided u to charge way more than u would have charged for the project, 10% is crappy. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Driggs:why should you show appreciation from the whole sum. no be when you don pay for all the things you used, you'll know what's left as profit? it's your profit that determines what you give to him. the guy sef no ask you how much you realise from the contract. settle him well sha so that more will come through him 1 Like |

Give him 30% of the profit/gain because of next time. 10% is too small, show some appreciation and fear of God 4 Likes |

Sorry, but I have to chip in cos something similar happened to me years ago. The honest truth is, when you refer somebody for a contract, it is not up to you to decide whether to compensate him or not. You're actually supposed to compensate that person, and it is usually on a commission basis. So the bottom line is, you didn't do that friend any favor with the 10% offered. I've witnessed situations whereby people were paid as much as 30% just for referring. But obviously, the issue at hand is that your friend never spelt out any terms, and you on the other hand seem to be taking him for granted because he is your friend. I once did a business deal with a so called 'friend', and out of the sum of about 700K, she gave me 3K, and lied that she got only 10K. I let it slide, not because I was stupid, but because I would later pay her back in her own coin. So my friend, if he is your brother like you claim, then increase the rate to 20% so more opportunities can come your way. 9 Likes |

BabaOwen:Then he ought not to have brought the topic for discussion on a public forum cos the friend will definitely read it and feel bad. He ought to have explained things to him and also make a sacrifice to reward him better than he did for tomorrow's sake The op sound like an ingrate, it is only women that usually act like ingrates that forget to reward the men that help them cos to them ladies, it is their birthright for men to help them become greater in life for free without expecting any reward, reason most men don't help ladies that aren't their wife, relative or lover So this op is an ingrate just like majority of ladies, sadly 1 Like |

From the story. U charge lower before. He asked u to up it and it seems what u are giving him is far lower than what u up it by. Same thing happen to me sometimes ago.i ask someone to up by 5k per quantity. He should keep 2k for himself and 3k each for me. I push everything smoothly. Time reach to collect mine. This guy start English and even behaving like he gonna expose me. I sha keep quiet. Make sure he never get the larger job when it came. He shot himself by being greedy. Pls don't be greedy.

I think the referee is being greedy. How much was he expecting you to give him? Why didn't he do it him self? 60% of the contract sum already expended on the execution, That's how govt workers behave. Collect sum before contract execution and then we have bad and shoddy jobs done all round . Maybe you should make him work for any extra percentage pls. How are you to fend after it's over? And the snitch threatening to report to his friend, great shame on you . Men of these days , leave a lot to be desired. Smh 3 Likes |

yeyebrity: That's why all men and women need to learn simple accounts in business and there are apps for that. When a contract sum is 700k, How much is profit after execution? Do you know companies charged WHT and because people don't factor that into it, they actually don't make profit or make little profit . 1 Like |

Greedy people everywhere. I help a man to secure a borehole contract that worth 7.5m and he gave me 10,000 naira afterwards. When I asked him why 10000, he said I didn't tell to input my own in the the contract sum. I later found out the contract sum for that kind of job is not more than 4.5m 1 Like |

From what I read, I'd say the op doesn't really wanna pay, he wants to take a very large percentage of the profit. And I am guessing the friend knows the worth of the work in terms of profit after execution. You both are greedy but the op is greedier. Truly, as a friend helping another, you shouldn't demand your share, if you do, I don't see that as help. 2 Likes |
