Moderation is key. I'll rather go & buy myself most times. Some of these artisans can extort the devil himself. In the end,they won't deliver quality products. The madam sef na alaroro |

No be lie op. A barber almost collected double of the amount of a clipper from my Dad. My dad wanted to pay him the money, I told my Dad not to pay. I know where they sell these things. When we got there we bought the highest and best brand of clipper there for 3,000naira less than the actual amount the barber had told my Dad. Lesson:- Always have a good bargaining power. You've got the money. Na how you stand photographer dey snap you. 6 Likes |

micronut: So, the normal price was 20, they were telling her 26 earlier, but she eventually bought at 23, Please tell me, if that artisan did not help her by taking her to another market, won’t she still buy at 26? Don’t you think she gained by buying at a lesser price? Baba this your talk no just follow, 9 Likes |

Rubbish story. If the woman have bought at 26k in Ife, the carpenter would have still get his own cut. The woman actually saved 60k in total too from the amount she would have spent in Ife, so it's still good business for her. The carpenter is just a thief. And this is why I love my mum. She will go around market to buy the stuffs herself without taking the carpenter or artisan. And in many cases, she get it far cheaper than the price mentioned by the artisan. The only mistake the woman made was taking the carpenter along. If she had gone herself without fear of getting scammed, she would have saved 6k on each bundle which is 120k in total. But it's still good for her that she saved 60k. 5 Likes |

chigoizie7: The only mistake the woman made was taking the carpenter along. According to the story, It was actually her friend that told her about the market in Ibadan, but she took the carpenter along which is her only mistake. But she was still able to save 60k compared to the Ife price. Even if she had bought at 26k in Ife, the carpenter would have still got his cut, since he followed her there. The only lesson to learn in the story is to never take an Artisan to the place you intend to buy your materials. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Jaqenhghar: That's how I decided to empower my friend who is an electrician by given him the contract to wire my dad's one storey building when we were building. Of all artisans that worked in my site, he was the only one I gave money to buy his own material yet most of the materials he bought were of inferior quality. Most artisans take delight in cutting corners so as to make huge gains. After my friend delivered on the job, I severed ties with him completely. Till date I don't talk to him. in short, the experience taught me a great lesson. And which is never do business with someone you are familiar with. 9 Likes |
