My sister told me they got Donjazzy to do giveaways on the abeg platform. 10k for 10 people.

That's a good way to start. They need to do promos and give incentives to people who download and use the app.

They are start up and new to the game..give them time to grow and learn.... overnight success not game but long time

SocialJustice:
The USP of the app makes no sense. It is just a hype product that will die once funding is cut. I do not see why I need a special app just to transfer money out, makes no sense to me and I'm sure most people see it that way too.

You are wrong...abeg is just like so many likewise apps in the other countries American cashapp,
Swedish swish,
Spanish bizum
Norway and Denmark vipps & mobilepay
even the polish bliz.....even Kenya is using mpesa...why not Nigeria??
Why are we so negative to our own...let them grow...what is the essence of negative rhetorics??
The bank have transfers and well developed bank apps but the other apps are thriving also...Nigeria is huge market

englishmart:
But you can't sponsor brilliant students in your community. Immorality is overrated.

How do you know they are not sponsors to educational programs ??...this is business..you go where you will sell your market...BBN is their target market so it pays them to take the chances they get...unless you are self appointed moral police you need to keep yourself in check..get off your horses...

Romanoff:
Abeg needs to do more to have people down load and use their app. They still don't have up to 20k downloads on playstore.

Any idea what they need to do ?? This is their first major outing....just little over 24hrs....more information about them are rolling out bits by bits....people are skeptical in money things...requires time and scrutiny

twinskenny:
thank you sir I really appreciate you and every other person that have contributed so far, the body language of the guy has already given him away.. even if we sent him the 50k he won’t still do it cause that won’t be enough for him to hire a new machine or pay the people that he will hire… the mistake has been made by allowing him to move his equipment out of the site…. I believe we will sort it hopeful before next weekend.

Ok...so what is your solution? Police? Did he ask for variation in fees already negotiated ?..how do you move forward

sonnie10:
That one na bathtub now. No space in that compound

Hahaha

diordaves:
It MAY not be a good idea to put up the balance to finish the work. This MAY be a classical artisan trap.

Twinskenny said that the contractor said they should be paid the balance arguably to fix a piece of broken equipment to complete the work. Why can't they fix the equipment with the advance payment or from reserve (saved) funds?. This fit be artisan story. The client also said that the contractor demobilized from the site as a result of a broken piece of equipment. This fit be another artisan story.

One of the golden rules of the trade is: if you paid an artisan more than 90% of the fee charged and they come back for the 5% balance BEFORE they can complete the job, alarm bells should start ringing. This is a symptom (sign) of under-quoting. At this stage, the project is already frustrated. Throwing in more money without proper investigation as to the circumstances for the further demand may just be throwing good more after bad.

The dynamics of the borehole trade is this:
Borehole drillers (just like oil prospectors) have CAPACITY. So a borehole driller may have a capacity (for example) to drill up to 2meters, or 3mtrs or 100mtrs as the case may be. If you engaged a borehole driller with a capacity (for example) of 5 meters and they drilled at your site to their maximum capacity of 5 meters without hitting water, story don start. Na their way. This is because they quote blindly for jobs without a geological survey to determine the depth of the aquifer at the site. They just assume. Clients also just blindly believe.

So the client and twinskenny should first get hold of the contractor (they said they are in hiding), sit them down to properly investigate the circumstances surrounding their demobilizing from site BEFORE further payment if satisfied that the issue is truly a broken piece of equipment and not a case of under-quoting. They need to establish what equipment was broken, how much to fix it (what if it needs way more than the balance to fix it?). They should be careful not to fall into this trap. Story plenty with artisans. Engage all artisans with your eyes wide open.

I feel you and I get it...I am not blind to the facts ... I just want to end long epistles with no meaningful solution...

HeadNigga:
Alexreports with security details?
Abi two of your guys just wear that attire carry guns for photoshoot?
Lol... aspiring governor wey no get even one handbill for street not to talk of billboard.

Abeg do pass the baton to the person wey buy the ticket through you.

Uche nwosu = alexreports
Okorocha = Godwin Maduka.

If you know, you know. If you don't, use Google.

We know this...maduka is waiting to see that pdp chances are completely gone before coming out with Accord...they are still going to court up and down..

Too many front and backs with no real solution....long epistles with little or no input...
Who knows the borehole guy ??..I will personally put up the balance to get him finish the work if that is the case.

Twinskenny?
Next ?

Oga mi...I am just wondering...what is this roof in the circle...too close? Slopy topology?

aniomadei1975:
What is Maduka still waiting for before he joins another party to reclaim his mandate. He has a very bright chance now.

That play is already planned...he would join AA and take over from alexreport...you can see him in the picture here...lol

michlins:
ego ka eji achu ego bu eziokwu.

But I'm currently engaged and busy. There's no point taking all sorts of jobs when you are yet to deliver on what you are engaged with. The rainy season isn't helping matters too

This is really good...happy for you...booked and busy...According to the job request...job is not today ...all the same all the best....cheers

Austinosconst:
You sound very egotistic and it won't help you. Nobody is an encyclopedia of knowledge. We're all here to learn. So telling me that you already know it right in your mother's womb doesn't augur well. If you can't accept criticism and correction about your work then stop posting it. Be humble.

I am looking forward as oga hajj to follow your construction threads....again you do not decide who or what one should post on their page....not all criticism are logical and constructive and would be acceptable....endeavor to show considerations with your criticism....looking forward to your construction threads...cheers

michlins:
I don't know when next I will be in Lagos but am currently engaged with jobs which I will deliver to Lagos


Good morning sir

I would have planned a visit soon if job would be vaiable ....ego ka eji achu ego...

Gustavo Cubana- Enugu
Bubble and Hussle Wuse 2 Abuja

Obi is into real estate he own estates in Lagos and Abuja


Rolex Hotels – Lagos

??

Even with the hotel name clearly written ...still wrote it wrong...Rolex.obi does not own rollace hotel ...you just copied internet page word to word with no verifiable facts....
https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/about-obi-cubana/

Rollace is owned by chief Emeka obieli otigba... not by Obi cubana group oo

michlins:
this is Anambra and to get more land, you pay premium for it. You start by buying your neighbors properties

I know this obviously I am from anambra...happened to me with my Ana obi...only recently I expanded my compound .. neighbors had problems and needed money...they gave a me same piece they refused initially...

whirlwind7:
A bit disappointed to see how close the fence is to the house.
This house needs a lot of space around it.

Omo I noticed the thing....this beautiful house without enough space...chai...the owner probably ready to pay anything to get more space

michlins:
all of them are from China. My Igbo brothers just term it differently probably because of minor difference in price.


We all know that Germany isn't known for making doors and even if they do, expect their starting price to be above 500,000.

Are you sure Germany isn't known for making doors?? Probably not popular in Nigeria...Germany is very notable with doors and windows....posted this not so long ago...at least for Nordic and Scandinavia regions

Maxymilliano:
The next news from Alex reports will be like "
Dr. Godwin Maduka officially leaves the PDP for the Accord Party, with thousand supporter's as Media Czar and Publicist, Alex Nwankwo tips as running mate".

Everyone been waiting for that headline for weeks now....

Folorunsho15:
Of course the price will be negotiated and that's why I needed help from professionals here which I'm getting massively to help me in my negotiation with them so it's all good my brother

All the best with your project...cheers

Folorunsho15:
I did my man and I already know that. They only allow their contractors to work on their estate. They don't allow outsiders

If you Knew all these....what kind of help would you get here...would the prices be further negotiated or you are just going to roll with it...

Lordbinsmar:
Thanks Sir, I love the sustainable energy programs in both schools, especially that of KTH in collaboration with inno Energy.

Programs like this will equip me with required knowledge and skill sets to solve energy related problems in Africa in the nearest future.

I applied to the program at Inno energy already, I hope to get a scholarship to provide me with funding.

I didn't graduate with a first class, but I am very well above 4points. I already have publication in energy related fields, and I'm working very hard to improve my profile.

All the best and I hope everything works out well for you...studied masters at blekinge university and another at Växjö now called linneaus university ...

Lordbinsmar:
I will like to study in KTH.

Kth is sweden best university...competition on places are huge...you really have to be on top of your game to smell that school ..same goes for chalmers another prestigious school....

Pocket keeps overflowing....consumer's pockets gets emptied.....Nigeria a gift that keeps giving to the rich....

sonnie10:
See something I was begging someone to do for 850k around Orlu. He still said I have to provide the cable and the tank. I did but I am wondering if that is the normal practice, after all that money.

Location matters alot with borehole drilling 140k for rental property at aba but my village anambra just over a 1m....very difficult to get water...I know people that paid more ...

festacman:
Having worked passionately and tirelessly to promote the aspiration of Billionaire Dr. Godwin Maduka, would Mr. Alex Nwankwo betray his principal and jettison loads of money he is making from him to run for the same position of governorship of Anambra State himself, which he has almost zero chance of winning?

Is it likely that having been left out in the cold by PDP national headquarters through the use a 'strange' list of delegates, Dr. Maduka was left with little option than to seek alternative platform to pursue his governorship aspiration?

Is the SUDDEN emergence of Mr. Alex Nwankwo as governorship candidate of Accord Party more of 'name of Alex but aspiration of Dr. Maduka'? In other words, is Alex Nwankwo a proxy being used by Dr. Maduka to secure a platform and meet INEC guidelines and then at appropriate time, Alex the proxy gives way for Dr. Maduka the real candidate?

For anybody who understands Nigeria politics, it is easy to decipher this Alex Nwankwo's political move on July 1 especially as that day was INEC's deadline for party primary election and submission of candidates. There is a feeling of deja vu here.

Accord Party is that alternative platform for Dr. Maduka. Alex Nwankwo is a bloody proxy.
Q.E.D

Facts...you are totally right... the next news would be Alex steps down for for his moneybag sponsor maduka....never ending circles of desperation.....

Where is n3xt ??been missing here for few days now....hope he is okay

Haha....wait he was busy taking money for promoting the money bag maduka ....while nursing a dream...haha

BosseJ:
As in, I'm in a state of shock. After all the media hype. The guy must have spent so much on his campaign.

Maduka never really had a chance...he was a money guy..throwing money to alexreports and others for promotion online.....overhyped man with no really strong political background in pdp.
Again apga going to remain in anambra...

Using the word immorality loosely and callously...repeating "I am not demonizing anyone" you are actually doing that repeatedly...

I would suggest you focus on your work and face your front....I should do your work judiciously and mind your business..what people do and choices and lifestyle I make is none of your business ....focus on school and look the other way...Goodluck

omanzo02:
Dude, where I am, anything made by hand is 4 times costly than machine produced, that's the hard reality, mechanical finished product are standard while manual labour product are regarded as special product.

I understand your emphasis..based on handmade and mass production...mass production are mostly cheaper due to lower overhead because of quantity....not sure it is same criteria with the machine cut and handcut with wood in Nigerian scenario
