caesaraba:

Prove himself to you for sharing his experience? As who? As what? Has he offered any services? Has he said he is planning on offering any services?

"Let him come and prove himself." As if what the OP has done is an outrageously impossible thing.

Wake up bros. People with actual lives are also on NL. They can decide to make a post or two from time to time.

MissMeiya:

Wake up call, based on what? If you want someone to take you seriously, use cold, hard FACTS. And use proper spelling and punctuation.

As an expat, my father and I experienced almost all of the problems the OP described. Even if you decide not to patronize his business, this thread is educational. Don't be a dunce.

caesaraba:

Attack the messenger all you want but the question is, did you get the message from the write-up?
I know it`s on the front page and open to the usual NL barasana but isn`t it too early to start casting doubts on the OP`s motive (If any).
There`s a reason why we have PDP/APC and Tonto Dike threads on the FP to satisfy various needs. This thread is aimed at business inclined persons on NL.

This is my line of business and why it might sound like French to you, what the OP is saying is quite simple. Ordinarily even if you just buy 2-3 mini vans and approach warehouses in within your town, you can strike a couple of deals to haul or distribute goods for them quite easily.

Let the man commit a crime before you crucify him abeg.

Interesting. So, like the op, you are also an expat who was also involved in haulage business, and also faced the same challenges, and also happened to be on nairaland shortly after this thread opened, and also commenting.

I see, the Op was to give the appearance of a gentle, considerate, and helpful contributor, while you were to be the aggressive one who bashed any commenter who dared to ask any question into submission abi?

Got it...

edogirl2:

The Op has been coming in and out 'viewing' the thread for the past 30 mins, yet he refuses to comment.

Hmmm...I wonder why

MissMeiya: Love this. ThaiAlNigeria, my father and I experienced many of the same problems you did. I'm learning a lot from this. Thank you for taking the time to detail your experiences. I'm emailing this to my dad.

When I get a chance later, will be back with questions.

koning: That's some pretty good English coming from someone from Thailand. Your write up is interesting, but i think you are not revealing your real motive.
Methinks that you are now an Independent transporter in need of more trucks for expansion.

Are you based in Lagos ?.

edogirl2:




Well, above is your exact post Madam.

And why would you be so unnecessarily aggressive if you did not have a stake in the Op's scheme?

Oh, I just saw that you've removed the part of the post where you claimed to be an expat!

Lobatan!

ThaiAlNigeria: Greetings Nairalanders,

If you are interested, I will next write the second phase of our story later and tell you how & why we succeeded and the extreme difficulties (To the point where we were about to lose most of our fortunes) we faced before we succeeded in our next venture. (Haulage)

My humblest regards.

Your Friend.

angelo82:



Bravo!Very deep and insightful write up.You have touched so many areas that the so called JIBBS were hiding from prospective investors.Since you have the practical experience in the field of Haulage now,don't you think it will be nice for your company to start taking Trucks from interested people from Nairaland.I will love to go into the business and I mean slowly but I will prefer a very trustworthy company for a start.If you are willing to accept to manage trucks on my behalf you can send me your full contact and I can as well arrange with trustworthy contact in Nigeria to do the follow-up.

Benz4pimp:
E b like say me and u dey reason same way.a thai with this type of english is not possible,from his first post,i just dey laff,see format and migerians are gullible,kindly tell him to tell you the meaning of his email address,he as made good money from his so called biz and yet does not have a (scam)website.nigerians,u better shine your eyes,this is confirm scam,at the end of the day,d op will either tell you he as trucks to sell or one thing or the other.gullible nigerians are already praising him.even my cousin wey get just 2 trucks get website+email attached.

Ahuitzotl: How can it be scam?? So because he has no website yet then he qualifies as a scammer or dont you know those who own web sites do that for ulterior motives than honest hardworking individuals who might not be inclined to IT and their bizeness may not hurt by that...The written english is pure,thailand like nija,was a former British colony and so the OPs is on point and when you spend a few weeks working with the locals in nija the pidgin spirit will surely rub off on you...Abi OP? His post here is something most of us bizness owners can relate with and something all of us including neutrals,upcomers and the established should glean and learn from.

MissMeiya:

--The company has a website. Compared the typical level of most Nigerian business websites and yahoo/gmail email addresses....

booblacain:

But the OP did eventually give us a hotmail email address. Pls no insults, I am just a curious observer.

3strike: Nice write up / format i must say. but I also must tell you that I SMELL SCAM all over this Thread.....People shine your eyes and borrow brain join. There is no free lunch! if you are a blogger i will understand your reason for these write up might be to generate traffic to your site...Remember life is give n take. So right now you are giving freely what do you intend taking from the readers?



NB Anyways a dog that is determined to go astray will not wait to listen to the voice of the master.

MissMeiya:

Don't answer them. Don't even read their posts. It will make your head hurt.

Also, I went to his profile--The company has a website. Compared the typical level of most Nigerian business websites and yahoo/gmail email addresses, someone on his web team knows what they're doing. I hate mediocrity.

MissMeiya:
Dumbass. It's in the next post.
You are very dumb. Go pick up a book.

MissMeiya:

MissMeiya:

I didn't read all of his posts. Just the first two. Then I immediately went to his profile. The email is on the website. And it ends in the company's domain name. I do my own research. If you want to succeed in business, thorough research will save you a lot of wasted time and money.

biopat:

hmmmmm......my guy, leave them alone.

Remedy4gud had allies n more than one username. The Mod sensed it n was banning the guy...dem almost kill the MOD for banning him. The MOD probably got angry and left them to their fate.

He succeeded the last time. Many of his magas were shouting "we ll catch him", "we will jail him", "he has nowhere to hide", some even claimed to know his address.....but dem nor fit do the guy anything.



Dog wey wan lose nor dey hear e master.

*In Tuface's voice, "if u wanno kpai, u kpai, nobody send u".

ceasare: U r right we shouldn't use uncalled for words with each .I will want 2 bliv its a faceless forum so anything goes .if you both had the chance of meeting in real world I knw none u will use dirty language as both party will act civil and matured!

Let's sheath the sword lady and gentle make Thai come finish his good writeup.

Peace to all in d house.

Ahuitzotl: Like they say, the most suscpicious folks are the ones most easy to decieve and con but you wouldnt blame them if these people are; scammers themselves or JIBS who will not allow for ordinary folks to be emancipated;the scammed,who because of greed or lack of due diligience will not allow honest to GOD business men carry on with their employment generating activities and other folks to learn from their mistakes.Thankfully,Nigeria is on an economic boom and it is mediocre fellows such as these that are being left behind.So you must forgive and empathise with them.
