kenedyx: your brothers company not clear. does your brother own the company or does he work there? was your brother instrumental to your getting the contract? is there possibility of future business or is this a one off? in the nigerian landscape - the people who are instrumental or have power over your contract award expect their cut. it is a cost of doing business and you have to think it through carefully while identifying the risk to you , your company rep and future opportunities. |

Oga you be mumu. Your brother made you what you are and you can't petronise him. You be bad brother. If your brother didn't connect you how would you secure the contract. I feel like insulting you mother fucker. |

Discuss other people's prices with him for him to have a change of heart, if he refuses. Go ahead and buy from others, but make sure you transfer some money to his account for you to show your appreciation |

kenedyx: You and your brother are thieves. But you are not just a thief, you are a back stabber and a betrayer, you will end the same way Judas ended. You must have come from a terrible family for you and your brother to both be rogues |

kenedyx: Tell him plainly that you’ve got a better deal, if he doesn’t shape up, let him ship out |

Poster, if you are making a profit, then go ahead and buy from your bro, however, if buying from him only makes you break even or run at a loss best make him understand why he needs to be reasonable with the price. |

Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by AYNL: 3:13pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
that's not fair on his side at the same time, who knows if he's just trying to tempt you after buying at your brother's prices, if you're still gonna hold some reasonable profit, buy and forget if not, tell him how much you're given for the contract, and how his quotations is gonna affect the contract and your own profit like one Yoruba adage a kii ba eyan tan, ka fa ni itan ya |

kenedyx:he might have someone else who can do the contract cheaper but he chose to tag you along.. Or you think you see the best guy for the contract ? |

kenedyx:remember he is ur older brother.the more you delay to buy from him,he ll understand the joke.so be fast and buy from him eals even if u run around finish and still buy from him he ll still understand that you are an ungrateful basterd for coming to ask people about how to pay back ur own brothers Kindness. |

Tell him the prices you got n if he is still adamant you decide if you go on without buying from him n understand the risk of him not helping in sourcing other contract for you. Life is that simple. If he is fetching u such contract frequently you might have to continue with him till you are able to source on your own. kenedyx: |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by rickleye: 3:23pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: Show him the quote and ask him if he can beat the prices. If he can't then move on. Remember the I word - Integrity |

It purely depends on how You view Business. Personally, He gave You the contract it's possible more will come through him. Do Your calculations if You still make gain after his supplies, do it. Relationship is important but not at your own detriment so it's all about perspective |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by nizelgirl(f): 3:28pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
My advice for you is, buy some from him and buy some from others for peace to reign. 1 Like |

kenedyx: You don't know the rules of engagement! You are greedy as well. You think he can't sabotage you in the contract or future contract? What if he had requested rebate? Would you not pay it? |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by nnamdiosu(m): 3:37pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: But from him. Close eye and buy from him. By next year, that difference won't mean anything. Don't let money cause a divide. You called the contract huge right? |

Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by temiprinciple(m): 3:39pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
Why not buy up to 60% of the materials from him and buy 40% from other sellers |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by uche393: 3:41pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
buy 50% from him and get the others elsewhere (if he's your blood). if he isn't buy 25% from him. |

TheeDetective:you even forget to tell am say if any of the materials bad or spoil, he can easily replace it from his brother's ware. 1 being brother and it was expensive Even in future, he can run some credit line through his brother's bizness If he's the negotiating type, he's going to benefit it later by going to his brother's place and paying his own stated price regardless of what the brother is saying Finally, if his child is sick, his brother might come through for him than outsiders |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by TK9680: 3:47pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
You got a HUGE contract through your brother. So you are paying some form of commission to him? If you are not buy the materials in lieu of the commission. If you are paying the commission, respectfully ask him to reduce the price. The most important thing is getting the NEXT contract by sustaining the RELATIONSHIP At times you lose to gain |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by Henix(m): 3:49pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: I think ur brother is just trying to test the level of brotherhood in u. If I were u, I will kill that spirit of greediness and patronize my brother. U couldn't have gotten the contract without his influence, but having helped u out, u now want to eat all. Don't eat today and forget tomorrow. Meanwhile, don't forget that if u weren't his brother, that he is entitled to a certain percentage of the contract sum, for getting u the job 1 Like |

kenedyx: Bro, buy from him your brother, since he's your elder, don't allow money create problem between you guys at this time. No matter the little you make, manage it, another opportunity will come again. I don't wanna say the other things in my mind. |

Since there was no prior agreement to how you will share the profit, he probably saw this as his own way to get his own cut out of the contract money by jacking up his prices. So just deal with him jare. At least no one loses. kenedyx: |
