Why Is It That Nigerians Don't Like Paying For Services. by Samson0303: 10:22am On Mar 30, 2022
I'm a graphics designer and Web developer.

I have worked for many Nigerians, but what I noticed is that when they need the work, their pressures will be on you an be messaging and calling you time to time to followup on their work.

But once you completed and submitted the work to them, the ghost-mode has started, some will stop reading your messages, some will stop picking your calls, some will even goes as far as picking up up fight with you and the worst they'll start posting you for payment, like my bank network is bad, I want to sleep, when I wakeup I'll pay and many silly excuses in order not to pay.

Some people even relate with you very close that, you won't even know how to charge them for some works and you'll expect them to pay you well after deliver their works, but they'll still go ahead and pay peanuts.

Especially people you have being working with for a long time, takes this long time business relationship as Avenue to not pay for some little works. Let's assume you have designed a logo for some and he has paid and he later asked you to render the logo on a bus or brand a car for him, they'll expect you to do that for free, because they've paid you for the logo.

What do you think we can do as servicemen and servicewomen to curb this. This concern almost everyone I expect everyone to say something about this.

Yeah it happens in all works of life, they just form that habit of not paying or what to pay less for the initial agree price, that is their attitude, it is very bad.. when anything happen on the way of the line of work like a negative mishapping, they will want you to take all the blame, but when you succeed and complete the work, it would turn out to be an issue, that is why I work for those that pay well and discard the one that don't pay or pay less.. simple..

Because Nigerians are too poor to pay full value for services.

Yes, I learnt something new today.

Nigeria, as a society, is composed of people who want things for free, and who use the poverty and hardship of the nation to try to get free stuff.

Then when the inevitable happens, and we get bad service...

Business owners are very greedy, some do it [withhold salary] intentionally and others are constrained to owe salary due to bad planning.

Most nigerians are heartless.

That's why.

Forget say na still dem dey carry church for head because deep deep inside, they are very wicked and heartless to the core.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure that you collect your money in full before you deliver the whole service completely.

If not eh, na you go suffer am.

A typical Nigerian is a fraudster, opportunist, and hypocrite. Know this and know peace.

But then, as if we don't have enough baggage already, some people want to include terrorists to our long list of disturbing portfolio cheesy

We paid enough dues to suffering already.. so good life should be free.

For your question, full payment before service. Term and conditions applied. "Business starts when FAMILY & FRIENDS start to PAY". angry
