You start with good points, but in the middle of your write up you miss it by saying @ bold LET THE GOVERNMENT DO THEIR OWN THING with many Nigerians that thinks same. Most times you people forget the power to change is in hands. Imagine what could have been American if Trump win second term, if he try to turn institutions that has been in existence for 300 years working for people to his own advantage, that is the power of change that am referring to.

You're basically asking me to send you same message via your kobocity mail.... OK.. I'll do that and see your action OR.... (wink)

saydfact:
Hi Next,

why are my original articles flooding the pages of kobocity without my permission and without referencing my blog were it was all taking from?

we're talking about 5 different articles....

Please stop this your old ideology for building mass housing. Your cost analysis may not be possible, if government is determined to build homes for its citizens at low cost the, can do it with today technology. Most houses are prefabricated in factories, if Chinese can build 1,500 rooms of emergency hospitals in one week what stop us doing the same. I wish I can upload a video of a community of 500 houses including all its utilities, part ways, recreative center, etc that was built here in 6 months. Please house can be pre-fabricated in factory assembly in 48 hours with the present technology. It is possible to build over 1000 houses in three months.

bobkezel:
Exactly bro, @n3xt @saydfact and other professionals pls what do you think about this.

Trust me for a pro-people government, things can be done better. If government work the way it should work, some of the cost in building processes can be reduced. You shouldn'thave to sink your own borehole and have separate septic tanks if there is public water supply and sewage system. Government have resources to build mass housing for the populace. They can create a honest mortgage for people to pay up over like 20-30 years. How do you expect people who earn below 100k monthly to save up to afford 5m to build a house. We also need to review mass building design take care of the reality of our people. Most Nigerians actually don't need more than 1 bedroom (room and palour) or at most 2bedroom apartment. The present mortgage through the national housing fund is a joke. Most contributors can't access the fund because in most instances they don't have proper title over their land.

@N3xt thank you for all your efforts and concerns I really appreciate you and God will continue to bless you and your family.

bold letters: I am expecting refund of ₦2,160,000 from the major distributor till now, I made 1st batch delivery of 300bags from a friend order to him so not to delay work. I gave him direct contact to distributor he said no that he best he pass tru me that he did not know the person he knows me.

Thenext:
Yes bros, I don’t like calling out people on public forum like this one because it’s not part of me but I have been patient enough with Chekitaut. And I think the only language he understands now is to call him out.

Let me share my experience sometimes in January 2021 with you sir.

I bought some qty of cement directly from Lafarge but I couldn’t deliver them to the site where it’s needed in ogijo because of the cost of transportation.

I did all I can to get the cement to ogijo but all effort proved abortive so I asked the distributor to help me sell off and make a refund for the order. They said they can’t refund but can help me deliver to a cement supplier nearest to me so that I can pick up the cement from her shop.

This was done and for almost 2 months, I was busy looking for someone to buy off the cement from the supplier. She wasn’t willing to help me sell or pay me for the cement because she knew it’d be huge loss for me to transload the cement to my area.

I even shared the post here that I have 100 bags of cement to get rid off. I tried selling to @folmus but the additional cost of transportation became the major issue.
This wasn’t because I don’t have people to buy. I was even in need of several bags of cement at the XL6 Trillion House project but the cost of moving the cement from the suppliers shop in sagamu to Lagos would make no sense.

For 2 months, I couldn’t sell off the 100 bags of cement even though I was able to fulfill order for over 2,000 bags of cement in other sites. Neither could I recover my money from the cement distributor.

I had to sell off below market price to get back some of my money.

This is in no way trying to put up a defense here for Chekitaut. I just need to let you understand the challenge of this trade sometimes.

This is a strategy of a one-man-band. They don't grow. There is nothing wrong to take jobs from Cape to Cairo. It is the right thing to do. You take all trade that comes through your door and schedule your time. Time management. It is not limiting yourself (local champion) but building internal capacity in your business that ensures quality job delivery at all times and situations.

People, please invest back into your business as profit comes in and build capacity. Build internal system management and then engage and train people (staff, apprentice, contract staff) in the way of the business and they can execute jobs effectively from Cape to Cairo. This is not going to the nearest junction to pick one mallam to come and take level for decking.

The one-man-band approach is the biggest reason businesses fail and where they don't fail, they don't grow. This one-man-band approach is also the major reason we don't have any successful indigenous business in Nigeria that is over a hundred years old. Imagine something happens to your enemy today, your business is gone, and what about your client(s) with outstanding work? They will obviously suffer a loss too.

Mr Julius Berger is not at each and every site all over the world. And you CAN be Julius Berger................ I dare you to call me "Awon motivational speaker".

...

This is because the key to NextHomes' business model's success is in the attention to the details, creative outsourcing and collaboration. However, can I guarantee the same level of quality if a client's job is delegated? No! One person cannot possibly generate the amount of bandwidth the NextHome business model requires – I need help to serve all your needs.

Until I'm able to replicate as many Brabus as NextHome requires, our services will be limited to only clients within 3 - 5km radius of our Lekki Office.

However, if time-to-deliver is not of essence, then we game Otherwise, I'll simply let this pass!

Saying NO is never easy, but it is necessary at this moment as we are trying to maintain a high level of quality in all of our engagements. Saying YES to a client, and then doing a bad job due to lack of interest or time, is much, much worse in the long run than just saying NO.

bolu1986:

And who says Workers cant even work overnight, if there is proper lighting?

Welldone bro.

Badgers14:

We all have to learn to live to fight another day.

Do what you can, and do it right.. tomorrow is another day ... it's not always about the quantity but the quality and your peace of mind.

Thanks for bringing that up.. I hope others will learn from it.
