The French and the English have being throwing banters and jokes at each others for decades and not one of them are crying and forming victim
you can google the jokes quite hilarious and funny.. a joke on tribal pecuilarity isnt a bad thing, so long its not inciting war or calling for bloodshed
. There are certain things the French would not joke about to the English man and English to the French man.when one makes a joke and the other person is not laughing then the joke is no longer a joke but taking the pisssssss. |

Ebenezar2020: celebrating birthday is a sin against God. celebrating birthday is tantamount to worldliness, remember the only birthday recorded in the bible led to the death of God's servant and prophet. living a worldly life is being in an enmity with God. you can see all these worldly celebrities always celebrating birthdays and inviting wh0res and brandishing all kinds of Strong drink and being intoxicated by it and sleeping with women and indulging in immorality and storing upon themselves Wrath. JESUS is the only way to the only one and true God and Eternal life, Repent ye and turn away from worldly birthday celebrations. Nah Hunger dey cause this kind reasoning,I understand ur stress |

micronut: A local woman was to roof her house, she had sent for quotations from different carpenters for roofing sheets. She got many and went for the cheapest.
Then she asked the Carpenter with the cheapest workmanship where she can get the cheapest price of the roofing sheet.
Well, madam, Iginla Stores sell at good and affordable price, one of the best in Ile-Ife, and possibly Osun state – The Carpenter explained.
Not satisfied, the woman having mobilized how planks would get to the site and roofing is about to commence asked the Carpenter to follow her to town to check different prices.
Worried but not discouraged, the Carpenter took the woman around three building material shops in town and eventually the stopped at Iginla. The woman still believes it will be cheaper somewhere else, a bundle of iron sheets at Ile-Ife at N26,000 must be cheap else where.
May be Ibadan, Yes, Ibadan will be fine.
She called a friend where they sell roofing sheets in Ibadan.
Go to Ogunpa Market, She was told.
Oh. I know all those best places in that market, because you need to be wise make dem no scam you oo. If no because of my work today, I would have followed you ma. – The carpenter advised.
Haa, No ooo. You must follow me oo. Please, don’t be disturbed, I will give you your daily labor work. You know all these sellers are thieves, some of them make unimaginable gains, I would never be their mugu. You see those planks, and almost everything on my site, I source them myself. One needs to be wise you know. Lol – Madam narrated!
Then, they headed for Ibadan with a rented truck.
On arriving the busy market, the Carpenter having been used to many of the sellers was greeted and welcomed to the big warehouse.
Immediately, the sales boy ask, Egbon se gbele ni abi normal? (Is it high grade or normal?) The carpenter said gbele ni oo…. (We want high grade).
Well, we sell high grade at 25,000. Normal at N23,000.
The madam asked what is wrong with the Normal?
Nothing, just the different makers – The Sales guy explained.
No be to roof house make e no leak? Please give us the N23,000 per bundle. We are buying 20 bundles.
Meanwhile, All the roofing sheets categorized are same. The grading is in pricing to charge and not in quality of the material.
When an artisan goes to a shop to buy, he buys at customers price – Mostly the last price the business shops can offer. They are stakeholders especially as businesses put their small cut when selling.
When you are not an artisan, you buy at regular or normal market price. If they sell a lamp holder to an electrician at N150, the normal price may be N200 if you go as the owner.
But if owner follows artisans, to market to price and buy, most often, what you get is high grade price unsuspectingly. A lamp holder goes to 250, and any removal depends on artisans price hackling power. Many times, artisans allow sellers to make more gain, on the stubborn owner that follows them and they come back behind to collect the little gains.
Well, the madam transferred and paid, and while the carpenter assisted in carrying them out, he requested for the seller’s fone no openly so he can call next time In case he sees no customer .
Well, It is coded! He isn’t asking for phone no but account no. Lol
He got a paper and put his account no.
Before they reached Ikire, he got transferred.
N3000 on every bundle on 20 bundles.
That’s N60,000.
The bundle price was actually 20,000.
The woman thought she bought at a better price in Ibadan at N23,000 instead of N26,000 at Ife. Lol
The carpenter got home still got paid by the woman as daily labor money.
He narrated the ordeal!
Lessons:
1. There is a price we pay for trying not to be cheated when dealing with Nigerian Artisans. Being too wise can be costly too.
2. It's mere foolishness to think you can outsmart an artisan or any professional in their field.
If you don't trust an artisan and his/her price, go elsewhere. Never be tempted to try buy materials for yourself.
Worse still, you source for materials and they tell you you bought inferior ones to make you feel bad and exonerate themselves if whatever they did got spoilt fast - Oluwapelumi Awotedu.
Source: https://naijalocals.com.ng/the-price-you-pay-for-looking-for-cheap-things/ These kinds of carpenters will always be the underdog when it comes to roofing, they can't even roof their own houses, be honest and see how Nature makes its way in your life in your chosen profession! |
