Bros, oro yin ti sun awon eyan. People just dey read and waka pass.

The first thing I noticed is that you have decided to adopt N3xt’s playbook by disclosing your customer’s name when his moniker would do the same job. That is pure mischief and shows the level of your professionalism. That alone is a turn off for potential customers. When you now add this join-join, caterpillar explanation, you no try at all! Oro o dun l’enu yin, Sir! Your version does NOT sound at all credible!

You even reported his wife to him, orisirisi! After feeding and housing your boy + you getting paid! Oga, e try at all! This your behaviour is very shameful! Do you think it’s all about the naira? How about time value of money, especially in a high inflation economy like Nigeria’s? Abi you think his #80k today is same as #80k of months ago?

Diordaves talked about budgeting skills, that is basic 101 when you are running a business, otherwise you will become a scammer. If budgeting is too hard, borrow a leaf from Money121, owo customer ko gbo do pe l’owo Contractor. Mobilize clients’ funds quickly before you become tempted to marry another wife or buy hair for side chic or buy iPhone 14 for in laws or do Dorime with money that is not yours. That basic strategy will save you a lot of pain. The money for materials, labor, logistics - set it aside from the beginning like who dey pay tithes so that you don’t touch it and spend it without delay for the intended purpose. Learn to separate customers’ money from your profit. Only take jobs you can deliver on, oruko rere san ju wura lo. A good reputation will open doors for you but dis kain kurukere does nothing to help your business. Na here you go dey and newcomer Contractors go dey collect contracts that you should be getting by easy referrals.

If you can’t run a business, let me remind you that not all of us are cut out to be business owners. It’s okay to be an employee if you don’t have what it takes to own a business. Know your strengths and weaknesses so that you know which suits you best . I know I have bad mouth and I’m impatient with bullshit so I wouldn’t do great as a business owner, that is why I jeje work for somebody and collect salary. I sleep well at night, better than the CEO because I don’t have to worry about dealing with customers and customer sentiments. In your case, if you have trouble handling other people’s money and delivering on contracts, then go and work for a contractor and be collecting salary instead of parading as a professional.

Well, we all know how N3xt’s playbook ends. Abo oro la n so fun omoluabi, a word is enough for the wise.

Adedward:

We are waiting for your version of the story. You have become quite the celebrity here. Haba! A new scandal every 3 market days. Village people are either seriously on your case -OR- . . . . . . . . .?

redgem:


He wasn't the one that did the roofing...he only supplied the roofing sheets from Lagos

Thank you

money121:

Only suppllied her roofing sheet we didn't handle the installation, although we took the measurement but she prefer her installer in benin to handle the installation

Thank you for the clarification, Sir. I will modify my comment.

If and when Bolu messes up, his customers are welcome to publicize it on here. I beg to disagree that nobody knew it was Bolu doing the POP. I am very confident that offline, a number of people already knew and had formed their own opinions about the quality of his work. Should he keep quiet while Rotech77 casts aspersions on his labor and impacts his reputation? I salute his boldness, I would do the same. His calling out his colleagues is a challenge to anyone he has wronged to come out. If you cannot accuse him of poor work, your opinion about his voicing out means zilch. Air his own dirty linen here , that’s the only fair response rather than talking about throwing and bussing.

This is not Rotech77’s first case in the last year. If my memory serves me right, isn’t this the 3rd time he has been called out since summer 2021? That’s like 3 times in the last year alone. Isn’t that how N3xt started? Or should we wait till there are20 accusers? Small time, the advisers will start harassing Akinola98 to delete his posts and cover Rotech777 so that the next customer doesn’t see the previous scandals. If your reputation is worth protecting, that reflects in the way you do your work. Abi should we blame village people for these repeated issues and absolve him of all blame?

Sentiments all the time! Who did this to us? Customers should cuddle/cajole/pet contractors they paid to do a good job? For real? If you need supervision for the job you are taking as a professional, then disclose that to the customer upfront so that expectations and renumeration are aligned. No offence but it’s absolute nonsense for a professional to expect to be supervised. If you are paid to do a good job, there are no excuses! The buck stops with you. Even in the office environment, your employer wants results, not excuses! You’re either competent for your role or you are not! Abi Rotech777 is an intern, novice builder ni? Somebody bills like an experienced builder and when he messes up, the customer is asked to “work with him “ aka pay him more to resolve the problem like say he has a bottomless ocean of funds.

Redgem, I thought money121 did your roof? Are you saying same roof is leaking?


***Modified***
Money121 only supplied the roofing sheets, he did NOT do the installation.

Cold141114:


Very true but....

That's why adequate supervision is necessary sir

If an independent contractor presents themselves as an expert, they should not need supervision. If the client could do it himself/herself, they would not have hired him in the first place. How can you pay a professional and still be expected to supervise him?

If a trades person needs supervision, they shouldn’t be out there taking work that they are not competent to do. Instead, they should be working under a supervisor aka Oga.



My church mind is telling me not to announce that the latest iPhone has just arrived

I load and unload my online cart multiple times.
Takes longer to actually “checkout” my favourite items

topsy23:


What they need is the copper . Copper is very expensive now and one thing that baffles me most is the amount they are are selling those cables .. The last one that happened on my site, the river all [b]cables worth of 975k and sold it as scrap for just 25[/b]k .. imagine that. Unemployment is the main issues in this country.

Awon ne’er do well ota aje

CYBERSOLDIERSre:


Said who?

And naira is exchanged at $1/680?

Stop that already.

APC have destroyed Nigeria and want to kill everyone.

My statement is factual and I have no interest in converting this into a political discourse.

Aaaaaaaw , so kind of you to do this for our young people. You have a good heart

naijamanyoutube:
Here you go.

As long as you remember that we reap what we sow and there are real victims behind every yahoo scam.
Your should expect to experience a lot of evil as a result of this undertaking.

This inflation is worldwide and everyone feels the difference in their pockets, whether it’s less savings, cutting expenses, going without. . . . .. it is what it is

EgunMogaji2:


You’re right Sir

Sounds like congratulations are in order, Sir!
Eyin iyawo a mo water bed o. . . . . .ain’t nobody praying about eni anymore

How?

I made a post here that was meant for a different thread.

Klass99:


Seven blessings to you MMotimo, too much sense packed in one post. I was sure I had seen her story before, sometime last year. @ The second bolded I am beginning to think that's what she's hoping for.

I claim my blessings and same to you. Thank you

Wrong thread

7 months ago, you raised this issue here. Based on your account, the only thing that has changed is that he makes more money. Nordic women are very smart so I assume you already know that you are being played. The real question is what (if anything) are you going to do about it? Will you continue to open new threads every couple of months? Be honest with yourself - are you living in denial? Are you looking for comments that will convince you to accept the status quo?

I think it’s time for you to decide and own your future. With the 7year age difference, that makes you 40 this year and him only 33. You have to make up your mind about your future. I have little doubt that he has firm plans for his own future. It doesn’t take a genius to know that having more kids he won’t cater for is a no-no.

There are very few Nigerian women (I personally know none) that would agree to co-habit with a WORKING MAN who barely contributes to the household. What you are doing for him is almost unheard of. It would be different if he had no income.

kopell:
True talk ooo, when people complain in Naija about their leaders I laugh. Many forget power to change is with them, but never participate in the process. For those social media voters here is another opportunity to make change If you believe your vote doesn't count. Please do yourself a fervor this time and vote. If you don't, politicians love people like you. That is what they want. In situation like that, you have no voice in what the do, is as simple as that.

In summary, if you don’t bother to vote, don’t complain. . .chikena!
If enough is enough, this is the time for everyone to do their part

EgunMogaji2:


The dynamics of the current Nigerian financial situation has me scratching my head. I can weather it out but I feel for the average Nigerian citizen on a fixed income.

I used to hear the noise of all kinds of generators in my neighbourhood but I think only me and one other neighbor runs generator anymore.

But I will give it to Nigerians for uikding tenacity. People are still building.

Naija’s problem has never been money, just greed and an inequality that’s unconscionable. A few have everything the masses don’t and more but they have weaponized poverty against the majority.

Happy Father’s Day to all the gentlemen.
May God bless you and your seed and may your offspring go farther than you.
May their tracks be seen in places you never wandered.
May you be able to look at your kids with a smile and tell yourself “I did well.”

Una weh done o!

Naija people, the race is on for 2023, don’t dull o! Do your best and vote, that’s the least you can do. Whether you think your vote matters or not, get your PVC and vote whom you think will serve in your best interest. It’s better to vote and have a say than leave recipients of paltry bribes to decide your future. Whether you trust the electoral process or not, be like Nike “just do it.”


US people wey dey build, the Lord is your strength. Gas prices be like choose: “fuel ya moto or send moni to buy cement”
