Why Is It That Nigerians Don't Like Paying For Services.

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.

So you really have the time to work with people from developing countries? WoW! As a freelancer, I never work for such people. And you should be minding the type of job you are taking. Most Nigerians are middle men and so are indians, bangladeshi's, pakistani's and almost everyone from a developing country. AVOID THEM. They are mudafukers.

Okortor:
Same reason why they don't like paying back their loans.

angelfallz:
You, should be doing pay before service, or half payment first, and half after the work is completed. Anybody that refuses drop him immediately. Doing things that way, would help you remove distrustful customers, and leeches.

I can't forget one goat like that. He gave me is project to help him type, that he will be needing it the next week and that period was during exam period of secondary schools, so I had many work with me. I now have someone close to me the guys work with the mindset that when he pays me I will give the person the money. This was around ending of November last year. After all the rush to complete his work, can u believe this guy didn't show up the next week. I called his number tire, the guy was picking at first telling me that is boss at work is not around so he can't come for it now. Oya send my money when your boss comes u will come collect your project, this guy didn't pick my call again. He didn't even answer my WhatsApp message. Early February this same guy now called to ask if I still have is project, it was just like I should slap him from where I was. Just wasted my time and effort.
