Commendable:
Nawa this Gnld na:

Rich by mouth

But not in bank account or pocker

One thing about them is the confidence. They have this unprecedented confidence in that gnld of a thing. They have definition for salary, money, financial independence and all that.
A man once came to shout on him early in the morning to free his wife and daughter from GNLD. I guess those ones were his new catch then.

I need to hear your tenant's own side before I make my own comment.

I’m sure he himself, if he was the landlord, won’t tolerate a fraction of what he did in my house.
I expected him to have sense as he is older than myself.
I opened the thread in excitement for what happened yesterday and also, to let people read from the landlords. I noticed that most times, it is the tenants that we always hear their sides of the stories here. They talk ills of their landlords but not much is heard of what the landlords went through.

I didn’t inherit my house, I worked my ass out to buy the land, pay for each and every building material. It’s been 3 years that I completed the house. I can still remember how much I paid for each material and workmanship offhand. The 9 months is a loss to me. It’s about 260k as his annual rent is 350k. Plus the repairs that I will do before renting the apartment out; Toilet door, shower mixer, flushing system of the WC, the tiles on the kitchen slab, painting the apartment and the damage done to the entrance door when his apartment was forcefully opened are the things I need to fix before renting the place out.
These are the things they won’t come out to tell you when they move out. They leave the house for the landlords to lick their wounds.

This guy and his people have been living rent-free in my house without paying any bill for the past 9 months.
The caretaker took him to court when he refused to leave at the end of his 6 months notice.
I informed the Caretaker that I would give him 2 months extra because I also wanted him to have more than enough time. I was reluctant because of his 3 young kids.
The 2 months had since expired but he still refused to leave. The caretaker went back to court and they arranged for some police officers through the DPO. They forcefully opened his apartment and thrown his properties out. Everything was drenched in the rain today.
This man rented a single room and parlor with a kitchen and bathroom/toilet for his family of 5 but he lived there with minimum of 14 people. He works as a manager in all these gnld. They go out in the morning and comes back in the mid night, disturbing everyone. He claimed to be earning 700k monthly but he Won’t pay his bill. Each apartment contributes 2000 naira monthly for the poor woman sweeping the apartment, he won’t pay. He and his boys will litter the compound with empty nylons of all those alcoholic concoctions.
Other children were no longer safe to play in the compound.
I blame the caretaker for not collecting caution fee from them. I’ll spend over 120k to fix the apartment for the next occupant.
Thank God I pursue am.

Let the poor breathe but don’t over-help them.
This is a typical example out of many.
The man chose to help them when he could have easily looked away. See what these 2 idiots are making the man go through now, just by doing good.
They’ve definitely blocked many from getting similar opportunities by this their foolish talks.

E don happen

It depends on where you live. Look for a business in your locality that will solve a key problem/issue among the people. Service-based businesses may be safer for you since you don’t have much experience in doing business.
So, find a service-based business in your area, take some time to learn around the business, do some apprenticeship if possible.
Me I prefer businesses where I put more money in equipments/ tools than holding cash.
Or starts with a fraction of the intended capital, say 800k in your case. Don’t go all-out into any business with all your money. Start small, you can put more money later, if everything seems fine.
Remember, you can always back off from any business at anytime. No strong head for business. Follow who know road, get more practical experience from the real people doing the business. Serve them, don’t expect them to release their business secrets to u easily. Don’t go and be listening to those motivational speakers o.
Making money in this country is not easy.
Nobody de loyal to help you.
My own practical experience with doing small side hustle.
I gather money, set up a nice salon for my side here. I employed male and female stylists, based on the OT I got from one guy wey de do am for another side.
Omo, guys are not smiling ooo. I barely have anything left after paying bills and those guys were making cool cash off my head. I later pursue them sha. Took some off to learn hair cutting and I make myself fully available for sometime. I’m now a professional barber. This is a skill that I learned in my adult life when I had no choice.
I’ve got new stylists now. The cheating don reduce small and I don add few other side services join. The gain in coming-in little little now sha.

Lol

99 is huge and precise. 337 is very commendable.
His parents are doing well. They shud help him make good use of his God-given talents

I chose to rent my apartment in ogba and commute to island everyday while I built my own house in one of the outskirts of Lagos. Orchid is still one of the choice areas to live in Nigeria though.

Mandate bandit

MTN 5G all the way.

Can’t say he was good or bad. He’s gone now and it’s of no use. What I know is that he and his boys were very famous back in the days at FCE Osiele. He became so famous and powerful among the locals and traditionalists for osiele. I heard that his relatives fought dirty over his properties. That’s to show that life is nothing but vanity.

Good day Senior men.
At what point would you say that you’ve reached half way in your building jurney?
I just want to check something

Wetin?

Did you not see tonto showing all the dicks she has saved on her phone?

Those small dick guys are FCTDA.

Sorting them out with bootay

One hand job and you give the house red mark. One bj and you give the house demolition notice. Full penetration and you demolish.

I no be engineer ooo but this building look weak and fragile from the pix sef.
Lagos has so many structures like this still standing. They should do the needful to them.
Akindele’s multi-apartment house in oworo made the front page some days back. Those sinking structures need chop dust I swear.

I wish you a happy birthday brother.

Many of those poorly built structures full Lagos na. E get some for Oworo, you go de wonder how people gather mind to live inside those kind houses. I de always read my psam 23 everytime I pass beside some of them.

Na cruise.

God bless Chief Sunday Adeyemo. Him na ogbonge freedom fighter.

Which one be that again?
Nigerians are too gullible. How I fell for MBA is still a mystery to me because I de street pass all those nonsense. If not for the fact that they have physical offices and packaging, wetin concern me with investing?

MBA forex get packaging abeg .
Dem shave guys for my office die .
I can't still figure out how I de escape from those ponzi guys. My guy advised me to use my loan do MMM as him do that year. I quickly use the money pay to roof my house before devil use me .
I for no forgive myself if I fall for those idiats. Those guy are really cashing out sha. Na office work game boys dey call am.

I guess you didn’t read it up on online blog like many others.



So how did I got mine in 2015 and 2019? It wasn’t a walk in the park. We did PG, PB and CAR on the project and it wasn’t done in a day.

Alaye leave story. Pay your gbese.

n3xt:


Whether 1962 or 2024, PB is PB. It shows the contractor has some credibility.

Chairman seankim and Officer stopthecap

So why didn't you provide same for somehow? You lied to somehow that you are not able to provide the PB for his contract? So you had planned to defraud him from the onset. Bosun, you're a fraudster.
ALAYE GO AND PAY YOUR GBESE JOR.

rotecch77:
I greet all good and well wishers of this thread and Nairaland as a whole.

I have something in mind to shear here which I believed it will be of great help for both clients, build industry professionals,artisans, suppliers etc
Let me go straight to the point without waste much of our time.

The rate at which some good clients here are treated badly is alarming same applicable to some good build industry professionals , artisan, suppliers etc.

Some people will remember when this particular thread was almost gone few years back when some good people here ran away bcs of one reason or the others, I called back most of them then.
Now I can see that same thing is about to happen again.

Now this is my suggestion.
1– let’s create a well functioning disputes resolution thread to oversee any dispute that concerns construction and services related matters here.
This thread will nominate , home owners, elders, young and old minded professionals in construction field, a well biz guru etc to solve any issues that might comes up now or in future so that a good clients, professionals, artisan, sales men and woman will not be drag here without deep verification.

Because here a lot of biz to happens which requires good monitoring if am not mistaken
If you think nothing concerns you bcs you have not been duped or dragged here without proper investigation then when your own turn comes around it will be like a magic to you.

More suggestions are welcome in other to bring sanity to this section of Nairaland and Nairaland as a whole

The foundation of any business is trust. Even with all those suggestions in place, people like Bosun soyeye go still find way to scam their clients.
How many of you have openly appealed to him to refund somehow? Who among the so called elders can bet his money that Bosun will agree that he’s wrong if he’s involved in any dispute?
What policy are you going to put in place to checkmate incompetent builders like Bosun soyeye? As you can see, na him first proffer solution to your suggestion, the same way he hijacked the idea of having another platform from egunmogaji.
Egunmogaji suggested a platform like Facebook group, guyman go build site de call people to come join. At that period, he was busy de-marketing this thread and nairaland. Now he has ran back here to be looking for maga.
Even if seun and mynd44 look away, We no go allow this fraudulent guy, i person of Bosun Soyoye to keep scamming people here

For the fact that we do not have a system in place doesn’t mean we can’t protect ourselves in our individual transactions and minimize risks and preventable losses.

Here are some of ideas I think we can explore:

1. POD on supplies between 20k - 500k. See no. 6 below for supplies worth more than 500k

2. 10% contract security on transactions worth over N2m to be deposited with the owner.

3. Payment on Installments (POI) basis for Labour only contracts. Payment for stage of work is released after all works within the scope has been inspected and satisfactorily completed.
In event of additions/deletions, the difference is calculated and an agreed sum is released to the contractor.

4. Performance bond on contracts exceeding N5m. I think the issuing company now take CofO. Don’t take PB from jankara agents o. Banks and reputable financial institutions would do fine.

5. Parent Company Guarantee should be used when dealing with skilled professionals and artisans who cannot readily provide some of the security documents above.
The guarantor (who could be former boss, client, reputable supplier etc) would pay back the client in event of contractors default or losses incurred.
A form of collateral should be obtained from the PCG.

6. Hire verified suppliers the same way you hire contractors in a mega scale development and issue letter of credit.

________

Some few minutes ago, a client here just ring me to inform me he’s awarding a job to one of my artisans and need some form of guarantee.

I thank him and told him “I’ll ensure all the materials are delivered to your site before you make any commitment.”
I immediately put a call through to my supplier and ask the contractor to go and make booking on my account.

_________

I’ve equally tow this route on a project where the client need some form of guarantee.
We agreed the project would only commence when the contractor has shown some level of commitment to the project, so some items were delivered on Payment on Delivery basis.

you wey soppose go for deliverance de give advice for here. Small time you go dabaru all agreements and you go back to factory setting, scamming innocent people.

Better go pay your gbese.

The power of positivity.

All evidence prove that our thoughts (positive or negative) have psychological and physical effects on our body.

When everyone chose negativity yesterday, I chose not to go with popular opinion

Look at the result. I was able to thank my own supplier 7 after our transaction. She’s being asked to thank and reward her supplier in less than 24 hours.

Fraudster like you hiding behind Ise Oluwa.
Why you no go remain positive when na next maga wey you go scam you de find all around.
You’ve been actively active on this thread in the last few days as if your life depends on it.
All your life na here. Your failed attempt to divert forum members to your kobo shite site has made you to lay siege here, looking for the n3xt available mugu. You don chop wetin go choke you.
Better go pay your gbese.
Your children will one day get to read about the many fraudulent activities of an incompetent building contractor they have as father. You wey soppose go follow your calling as a keyboard warrior. You carry construction wey you no sabi for head because of the many porous way to scam people.
bosun soyeye, go pay your gbese.
