pumppie: Hello nairalanders,

I must commend you all for a great job. I have personally followed this thread for a while. I was also into fish farming and i must confess i made so much money from it to afford my master degree in the uk where i presently live.
Following this thread got me thinking again and the opportunity came in form of a joint venture with my uncle who is a permanent sec with the ogun state government and who is also seriously considering retirement. The idea is to start the project growing out between 10,000 – 30,000 grow out within 2 months to be smoked and packaged for exportation (basically to the UK).
Of course this is a bigger project than i under took while in Nigeria. It also requires the construction of more ponds to accommodate the projected scale at which we intend the business to drive towards. So, i thought my uncle will need someone like a consultant to work with. Thus,

i gave him aquatic1’s details (bb pin and phone nos) not because he has impressed me in any way on this thread but because the project is located in ogun state.
I was told he was contacted by my uncle’s secretary to schedule an appointment 2 days before hand. And on the day of the proposed appointment my uncle was rebuffed by the attitude of acquatic1! Well, i actually didn’t know what transpired but i was told aquatic said he was fixed for the day because he wanted to do business with other people. The man was angry and asked if he thought he was coming for an excursion when he asked to see him? I was also told he called the man a boy and said he meets people like him everyday etc.
Please, I’m not here to castigate aquatic cos its possible he has done good deals with people on this thread and I’m sure they will have good things to say about him. But i feel its important we all understand `and inculcate the ethics of good customer service in our business dealings.

You don’t know what your unruly behaviour has caused me cos this man is at the moment contributing the bulk of the money needed for this project. And I’m finding it quite hard to convince him to forge ahead with the business without me necessarily coming to naija for now. The secretary said he even went as far as telling him to go do business with chi or durantee for all he cares!!! People, this is not the best way to attend to people and I’m sure not the best way to do business. All the while, you where dealing with the secretary and he was reporting to the man....

I don’t want to believe that everyone on nairaland are unruly business men and scammers too. I am not particularly happy at this recent development but will strive towards ensuring this guy does not ruin this project with what he has done........aquatic1, even if you have made so much money, you should still keep your head down....

aquatic1: You can still ping us for more pictures and price list.

Kizyte: Please I'm interested. What are the price range? I stay in Suleja (Abuja).
