Good morning everyone! I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to share this, but I don't know where it would fit best.

I'm serving in Lokoja, and I wanted to build a shelf for a school library. I met this carpenter close to where I stay, and he agreed to do the job for ₦40k.

He said I should pay him half of the money to buy the materials and he would deliver by the Saturday (I gave him on Wednesday) since he did not have any work on hand at that moment.

Before I sent him the money, this guy would pick my call on the first ring, and he would be answering his WhatsApp texts very fast. But since I paid him the first half, he has disappeared from the shop, he no longer picks my calls, and I've sent him numerous texts. It double ticks but he doesn't read it. And I can see his last seen time.

I asked around and the people there know him but they don't know where he lives. The only other guy that has his number is the barber that works near his shop, but the barber said he has an issue with the guy so they don't talk like that and he would not pick his calls.

How do I trace this guy to at least get my money back even if it's not everything? I don't want him to do the work for me again. I will find another carpenter.

A DStv installer did almost same thing to me. I gave him a free to air decoder to sell, Padi started avoiding my calls after selling the decoder. For over 3 months this guy was avoiding me. I arranged a friend to call him to come and install a free to air in his compound, Padi came with blazing speed, he received serious beating from me that day and transfered the money for the decoder to me instantly. Cunny man die, cunny man burial am.

😂 Hand meet the idiot well..

Op take a clue from here.. Call him with another number,in another location ,so that he won't suspect your location.. Don't assault him ,make case no turn o. If he transfer your money,carry ur money and go your way.. if he refuses,carry soji enter the matter. Police will play with your brokos,so no need using police. Ensure he pays for your expenses trying to have him pay you, your hard earned money..

Hey man, be patient. He is trying to arrange free and cheaper tools to make the shelf. He wants to make extra profits. Sorry you aren't so familiar with their styles.

Stop troubling him, but make him understand since he is not on schedule with the delivery and you've paid, he should not do a shabby job.

something don comot for ya 🧠...make we help you find who dey your location?

Humans are just f**lish entities littering everywhere in the world

It seems necessary to engage Nigerian carpenters with a lawyer before any deal is finalized.

I was asking for strategies from people who have faced something similar before. I'm not surprised you missed it since your brain is operating on less than 8 bits of space.
