Lol I took the photo myself... It's pure paint work.
Unfortunately the chop isn't open for business yet maybe I would have gotten the painters contact.



... It was a beauty to behold. I want to try it out myself but on a ceiling instead of a wall... I'm still torn on if to use brush or something else because the detailing is mad.

Guy...which kind of yarn is this?

This bolded line is completely unnecessary and uncalled for. If this is a pointer to how you're tackling the issue offline, then it may explain the other party's seeming lack of confidence in your efforts.

You don't want to stake your good brand against this fiasco and wish it away. Is it really worth it? Pls think of this critically.

Pls read up on vicarious liability.


twinskenny:


With due respect sir. From the beginning you don’t want to take any responsibility at all fine I make mistake by helping you inform of recommending someone to help with your bore hole… what you sent through me has been used by the guy for the purchase of materials and foe the little work they did… I don’t kenos why you are still bringing this up… the matter is at the station already, I show you the receipt of 20k I paid for his tracking… you never one day take the initiative by yourself and look for this guy… you claimed the balance is 100k… I transferred 50k to you paid police 20k… what else do you want me to do?

The same guy did my Borelhole and as of today the borehole is no longer working due to the fact that he used a wrong pipe or so…

This will be last response on this issue.

From day one you were never there or have a representative to monitor them before he packed his stuff and left your site.

And I specifically told you don’t allow him to leave with all his equipment back then…

THANKS ELDER megacontrol for feeling my pains too.... it is now a crime to trust someone in the forum again...

i have learnt my lesson from this transaction not to trust anyone here on the forum again..... i hope the new bees too use my own situation to learn

But if you contacted the guy yourself without referrals or without Nairaland, and you had issues with the transaction, you will still find a way to settle it..

Not many will agree with the notion that Kenny connived with the guy to dupe you. You know in your heart it's not true.. Alot of us have had million type deals with Kenny for over many years.

He must have also spent money at the police station ( you know how Naija police are).

Like I said the other time, you're a big COREN regd engineer.. Even in all other aspects of life, people cut losses n move on. Dragging Kenny's name up n down isn't fair to be honest, but i can't tell you what to do.

Just to remind us again to always hustle legitimately..

I am not privy to the the borehole situation here and I didn't go back to read the whole back and forth but one thing I want to remind us is for us to be careful when dealing with anyone, whatever you do in life, be honest, don't feel you are a "fast guy" or a "sharp guy" and can do a shiťty job for someone to take their money or refuse to pay a contractor when you are supposed to pay them.

Be careful out there, like I keep telling people and we all laugh at it.. people pull their shirt, risky their lives to fight over N100 change from a conductor or bike man etc.. what can't they do when you swindle them the amount of money I see here ??

Like the igbos will say, "nke ima nke a, ima nke ozo ?" ( not sure how to translate this to make sure it doesn't lose its meaning.. but the closest I could come to is, " no one knows everything, you think you know this, but do you don't know the other one.. apologies for my sorry translation grin grin - maybe someone with better translation can share).

I was very appalled by one of the screenshot someone shared here, (although not related to the borehole issue).. where the person sent them a smily face when they were begging for their money.. as in mocking them.. angry

Now, maybe I am taking this things personal, because I knew how I started in life, hawked ice water, fish, ground nut, cloths etx.. even when I moved west, I have worked as a mechanic, worked in a farm, in a restaurant etc.. I have done back breaking jobs, I have been shoved, kicked, spit on punched etc.. just to make this money and you gon take it from me? Like swindle me?? Nah nah.. we dye here cool I have gone far and wide to draw debt and you are paying my expenses.. go hide in Sao Paolo, nicosia, Istanbul thinking you tough.. I will meet you there, Turin, Holland, Ijebu ode, you name it.. I will be there in person. Man pass man no be boasting.. while I was after my money and expenses.. some people don't mind setting your house on fire when you swindle them, or take the person out of the game..

The broken spirit, a broken man/woman , a broken hearted can do undoables.. they could go to extent people don't think is possible... so be careful out there.. money have been here before we came to this world, it will be here after we are gone.. again, never underestimate the willpower of a broken hearted!

As long as we hustle legit, one day one day, we will secure the bag!.

Cheers!!




See that smiley face in that chat, only God will touch the guys heart to pay back.

Let me give an example. My client insisted I bought electronics for his house.. I bought Fridge (about 470k or so) and then I discovered it wasn't an inverter compressor as seller claimed. I returned fridge and my 400+ is still hanging with seller up till now (since February) but I've bought another fridge for client.

I'm still seeking ways to get back my money till now.

How about the worker (that has worked with me for a while) I paid for plastering and he bought Okada and ran away?

In the face of law, there’s no human BUT if it was me, I won’t pay a dime.

While trying to protect the right of the client to gain sufficient compensation, we should also not forget to protect the person who innocently gave his recommendation from being overburdened by the liability of a third party.

For me, a wrongdoer should pay for his/her own act if it has been sufficiently established that the person who gave the recommendation is completely innocent.

You know law is stvpid though if you don’t know your right and how to defend it.

LASTMA has tried to book me for causing gridlock in Lekki Phase 1, while the guy was trying to harass me. I asked him to shut up and help me push the car off the road to ease the traffic.
I told him “Do you expect me to carry it on my head when it stopped working? Or does this place look like my destination? And what exactly is your job? To harass people or to manage traffic situations?”[/I]

The guy went silent as people around started clapping.



________

A magistrate once asked my lawyer “Can you just allow this guy speak please?”

I once asked a DCP of Police a question “How did you arrive at your conclusion?” He starred mumbling for words. I just move because I know what he doesn’t know and you don’t terrorize people like us who is not moved by the chicken change we drag here.

I’ve lost money’s too and I didn’t turn myself into a mad dog. It only made me become wiser and more aware of my money mistakes.

_________

Until we start to sufficiently address the issue of using cheap blackmails to cow innocent folks, we won’t make any meaningful progress in our world.

Just read that part [i]“...stake your good brand for this fiasco.”
If there’s huge consequence for libel and defamation, you won’t dare it.

I come in peace o egbon!
I enjoy your piece but I disagree completely with your line of thought.
