15. Cash or online payment . If you prefer cash transaction, politely explain why to the passenger before the trip is started.

Really? Might as well just quit the gig. Thought Uber was primarily cashless until they introduced cash as AN OPTION.

OP, tell Firm A you have used the money to settle emergency medical bills - if they want to up their profitability they should lose some managemnt staff or stop paying Oga's weekend bonus!

Nigerian companies and evils sha- incompetent and vindictive!

dnative:
What salary was stated in your signed contract of employment?
Was the contract of employment between you and firm A or between you, firm A and firm B?
Have firm A been paying the salary specified in the contract you agreed to?

Sentiments aside, if you were happy to take up the job at the stated salary regardless of how low you thought it was, then you should carry on as normal. If your contract does not state Company A will pay you the salary agreed with Company B, then I don't see the issue here.

If you feel the salary stated in your contract is too low, simply wait till the end of the contract and negotiate a higher salary and ensure it is written in your employment contract.

Remember - "you don't always get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate". Be guided.

he is getting paying -20k of what the salary with Firm A entails!

why don't they build with red brick in Nigeria

capacity and trend..once something is popular in Nigeria, you'll need god almighty himself to stop us doing it!

reekay2000:
I noticed in the pictures, and in movies that many houses built in the UK use red bricks, which I always admire but same cannot be said in Nigeria ,WHY is that so?

Why is that ....?

Why dont admire the house built with brick in Nigeria or why dont they build with red bricks in Nigeria?

NYC..... in one of the many State Parks. This one has many sections.... for shows... football fields... indoor rink for hockey. .. stage shows...swimming pools... baseball fields... athletic track.... this is the relaxation/picnic/let's get away from the city section. This is a man made park..... sits on top of a sewerage treatment plant. Hmmm.....city planning!

Thing I love about changing seasons, is the gradual transformation you actually see the leave changing as the season is changing
All these naked trees will be full of green leaves in some few months, then as the season changes they turn yellow, then drop and the cycle continues with the seasons!

Just to balance things out a bit..

There are stories aplenty of Men bringing women from Nigeria and elsewhere, who 'cook' them up well well, get them signed up for all the care training, RN courses and other lucrative easy entry roles with bucks coming. Then sit back and reap their investment, hop into Naija frequently to celebrate their accomplishment by getting hooked to Fresh/Fresher Naija girls who won't mind have a far away hubby sending salary for her and new baby's upkeep

slightlyMad:
$5000 minimum from a good dental clinic.
And they charge in dollars too most times.

In the US, it is $3000 upwards depending on severity

weird that people travel from US, UK to South America, Eastern Europe to get the same treatment at cheaper rate and almost same quality
But the price in Nigeria is actually higher than it is in US

Economics in Nigeria almost always defies logic!

Inkredible:
Lols. But this is not the USA where I presume it's relatively hard to get ur Citizenship.
Most of the "fresher" uncles came on a good visa that in no distant time, they getting their ilr and citizenship noni. Plus, they getting paid well.

So issue of papers/benefits is really not factored here.

You're talking the new regime- skilled migrants- I'm talking about uncle Bode and Jegede that went through 6months visiting visa or student visa since 2002 and still on that visit...

Fear of these go still dey?

Make Una give us better reasons abeg..

Nothing wrong with actually dating anyone as long as its genuine and you are not taking advantage of the other person. When I see a 'freshie' uncle and an Oyinbo woman, the first thing that comes to my mind unfortunately is - Papers/benefits

There are so many Naijas/Africans all over the country i don't understand the whole traveling to village to get a wife thing, but seems some men like someone to be indebted to them

Abeg I wan hear from Una wey Sabi pass me.

Why e be say most naija people wey dey here go just run go naija find wife?

Not like it's bad, don't get me wrong. What's with the fear of the "white woman"?

I read the "be careful of the white ladies" in most articles of dudes in the abroad.

Why is this so?

because white woman no dey hear "it was the devil that pushed me to her"
she also wont understand why you are sending your 8th cousin twice removed money for school fees, aso ebi, upkeep, etc etc
and you cant threaten her you will throw her out and keep the kids

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges .

The prosecutor , Inspector Oladele Adebayo, told the court that the accused committed the offences on February 8 at No . 6 , Gbolade Adebanjo St. , Ilupeju, Lagos .

I don't understand this part. Was he arrested at the airport. How was the offence committed at a particular address?

And you don't think a hotel without a business/corporate account is a red flag, sort of.... ? When I say "someone in the hotel business", I know what I mean, emphasis on hotel business as a business. It will cost you virtually nothing to open an account for your business. So, I still maintain what I said. So, don't bring that up as a reason why you shouldn't guarantee your reservation. Get the hotel account, do an online transfer, send your payment advice to who ever you are dealing with, and save yourself all the drama, unless, you are d oing business with "mushroom" hotels

My point being..when i book a hotel online i dont want to do a follow up call to speak to anybody or do a separate online transfer. I want to book pay and receive a reservation number all in action. No point being online then calling to ask for account number when there's payment options -visa.mastercard.paypal that could be done in the same process

If you read the reasons things go wrong with online book by previous users- "maybe the person that took the booking is off duty"
This is an oga at the top scenario in 2018. When oga is not around everything goes haywire lol

kingwill2050:
As someone in the hotel business, it is always advised you know about the hotel release time, which normally ranges from 4PM to 6PM. In that case, ensure you make payment prior arrival. These hotels are there for business. Who now pays after they reserved a room for you, and you didn't show up. And they might have turned down lots of guest just because your reservation is holding up on the system

As someone in the hotel business, you should know most hotels in Nigeria don't have online payment application on their website-that's if they even have a website. The last thing you want is the receptionist trying to give you some account number bearing no resemblance to the Name of the hotel over the phone to pay into for securing your reservation.

I think hotels should get rid of their "pay at reception" model, it's 2018, card/online payment systems shouldn't be rocket science for the web developers.

Very interesting, I wonder what will happen when all the snow on the mountain melts--or maybe they don't have summer months.

Frenchfriez:
Very true. I once booked a hotel in Osun, went there on a tourist visit. On getting there, my first impression was 'perhaps this is the old structure, the newer one portrayed online would be at the back.' My dear, I was shook when I got in. Sadly I got there soo late and decided to manage the place after much sparking for the manager (ofcus he gave me further discount).
My dear, that was the worst night of my life . Bed bugs literally killed me.
Since this hotel thing has come up, I have to start writing reviews on Jumia and hotelsng.

This is a very good plan, many customers will be warned in advance and manage their expectations
also the hotels will be forced to improve or follow up on complains

On TripAdvisor, hotel managers can respond to questions/reviews

I don't think Jumia themselves are scammers. Seems their business process is the problem particularly the hotels on their books

Imagine trying to check in-- Jumia and the hotel managers are only just negotiating fees/commission

lawrenceogri:
The service actually works. If you worry that your reservation will be given out before your arrival, I will suggest you inform the call agent that will contact you of the time you intend checking in (they take note).

Remember that the reason hotels sell out reservation is because of the uncertainty with the guests. Try assuring them you will check in albeit late.

Of course, the only way to guarantee your reservation is to prepay. You can inquire about cancelation policy before making a commitment.

Please checkout [url]hotels.ng[/url] It's a dependable platform and they render similar services.

I checked hotels.ng too. Their prices are similar.

Customers shouldn't have to call the hotels for confirmation though. When you book through expedia, booking.com you know that's set. Perhaps it's the same issue affecting online business in Nigeria- pay on delivery model

Nice. Hope it's well lit!!

I know majority of their bookings is now 'pay at hotel' but what if one gets there at Night with family and they have no rooms reserved...

Has anyone got an actual experience of hotel reservations through Jumia Travel?

Hotel prices on their website is anywhere between 10% to 30% cheaper than booking.com, TripAdvisor, expedia etc which I thought might be due to the fact they're Nigerian company/advantage. They also give out discounts regularly

I've recently been reading some worring reviews about bookings done through Jumia- people turning up to hotels and front desk denying bookings or asking for higher prices than advertised

okokobioko7210:
Maybe. Since no one is pressing charges after 72 hrs he might be free to go

Na wa o

Glad the company are already discussing with the car owners

The driver of truck was saved from lynching by SARS from FHq Abuja. This young boy is clearly inexperienced and it was his 1st time driving through the area. There was no reason for him to verve off the road towards the car queue on the side of the road. He intentions may have been to crash into the filling station and setting it on fire as he steered the truck towards the filling station and jumped out of the cab before the truck could stop.
A driver was injured as a result of the accident but no life was lost. Well we are waiting for the results of the police investigation while we are planning to sue the company.

If anything you guys should be the one charged for not having car insurance and attempted murder....

_{did this man say he's a medical doctor...naija in trouble}

okokobioko7210:
Still working on it. Meet with the company representative yesterday and have submitted a memo about the accident to him. I am hoping that the company would respond positively.

I also met the driver of the truck and this was his 1st time on that road so he didn't know he had to slow down early enough before the brake failed him. Funny enough he was walking freely in new clothes without handcuffs outside the police station...

Perhaps because being involved in an accident is not exactly a crime...

Glad no major injury

okokobioko7210:
Thanks for your advice. I heard that the car would be cut into half and another car's boot welded to it.
how feasible and durable would that be???

Hmm

okokobioko7210:
That's a good idea. I really have no idea how insurance systems do operate in Nigeria. Any good and reliable insurance company you can recommend??

Medical doctor...?

Alikote:
its loan from them

That usually includes a small percentage commitment fee to initiate....then right of way sorted....local house of assembly approval...national assembly approval

Honestly democracy is slow esp in Africa

Alikote:

Have you paid them in full?
Have you sorted out all the court cases and compensations?
