EgunMogaji2:


I say this with all due respect, the idea of a safe list is most ridiculous and unwise.

Some good guys have gone rogue on here. And those are the ones we read about. Many sordid issues were sorted offline that we never heard about. I have heard from a few diasporans who were duped but took their lumps and simply moved on. Some of the alleged duper’s are sons of the soil of this section,

Buyer and service provider reviews can capture the essence of these transactions.

Please, I need sand and broken concrete removed from my site in Kubwa, Abuja. Anyone who can do this can get in touch.

Thanks.

Some of these these things are standard.
The 10pm thing I have not heard before but it may be because of security challenges.
Just tell your landlord what you have issue with. Talk to him one on one. But don't present yourself as a bad tenant or he can make your life hell.
Properties / Looking for Premade Cornice or Crown Molding by SoldierPikin: 5:14am On Aug 03, 2020

Thanks.
Literature / Re: For A Woman "Put To Bed" As Given Birth. How Correct Is It by SoldierPikin: 7:19pm On Jul 10, 2020
LynxEyed:
The correct expression is & has always been, "put to birth".

Put to bed basically means to put to rest or to conclude. For example, to end an argument by providing incontrovertible proof or to successfully complete a task or to get someone to sleep.

correct.
Literature / Re: For A Woman "Put To Bed" As Given Birth. How Correct Is It by SoldierPikin: 7:18pm On Jul 10, 2020
Put to birth means delivered a baby. It is a bit outdated. Just say she had a baby or delivered a baby to eliminate all confusion.

If you say put to bed outside of Nigeria, they will just give you a confused look.

Engineer! We no get problem o. I was scared but we are good now.

Let me state for all I am very happy with the workmanship.
We are good now. I will be putting another order soon.

TouchstoneNgr:


My Oga!
I didn’t know that was you though.
We delivered on the day we agreed to deliver and finished installation on the second day.
I guess you made that post too early.
I am sorry you you felt agitated when I didn’t respond to your request for pictures.
It’s not in our attitude to be making excuses. There is none.
Thank you for your patronage sir. I appreciate.

It is like some of you did not see my reply.

SoldierPikin:


They have gotten in touch. Its like they get very busy with customers and don't get back to to me for a few days.
Please remember that in this climate, such can really scare your customers especially after shelling out such money.
I am satisfied with the work. The craftsmanship is unparalleled.

I did not accuse anyone wrongly.
I was going to let this issue slide as I do not like making noise for no reason and they seem to have made good, but now I am accused so I must clear my name. It is those who feel thepain who cry.
I contracted with them for Kitchen cabinet for my place in Kubwa even though I was in Lagos. I have been a fan for several years. All was going well. After payment I was told the material I wanted wasnt available. Koburu. No wahala. I no get problem.
I reached out in June 28th for an update as I have not heard any update. I am assured they started production snd he saw the additional credit. No wahala. i did not get any update again so I raech out on June 30th and ask how is production going he mentioned days ago. He assured me its going fine. I asked for a pic of the production and strangly my request is ignored.

No answer at all. That is when things changed. I send a message July1 early again about no update and if they are still coming on the planned Thursday July 2nd as promised as my inlaws will be around. I was in Lagos and not around increasing my worry. My inlaws were coming and there was no place to wash dishes and I had prepaid over N130,0000. No be moin moin for some of us. I came to Nairaland as a last resort. He did not answer until 10pm that he will come at 2pm the following day.

He shows up at the compound after 5pm. They did not do anything but leave some boxes and said they will come the following morning.
Next was when he assured me that they would be there early the next morning. His boys showed up before he did and he left them the site to handle other business. I have the chat logs and CCTV. Again, this is not my style. I do not wish to tarnish anybodys business. At the end if the day they did a fine job and I will hire them again. I can give them plenty business as an Abuja landlord. However, customer communication is critical.


mank1234:
SoldierPikin come and finish what you started. You can't just accused someone wrongly and then disappear. Was there really a job? Was it really touchstone or you mistook him for someone else?

Meanwhile, is TouchstoneNg same person as TouchstoneNgr?

TouchstoneNG or TouchstoneNgr what's average rate per square meter for wardrobe of 3m height?

TouchstoneNg:



Please sir/ma your quick response is very needed.. as such claims could cause skepticism in the mind of our prospective customers. Touchstone is a very credible and reputable company. We respond to all our customers and we don't collect money for a Job without delivering.
or it could be that you're commenting on the wrong Thread.

Please clarify yourself sir/ma.. Thank you.

The issue has been resolved. I am very satisfied with the work.

I have seen too many beautiful houses and plazas with poorly finished concrete floors.
Does anyone knows who can do this level of concrete finishing in Nigeria?

Properties / Re: Will A Tenant Pay During His 3 Or 6 Months Quit Notice? by SoldierPikin: 9:40am On Jan 23, 2020
ogbo17:
The law says, if you are a debtor 7 days, but if your rent is paid up to date 6 months quit notice applies.

There you have it. That is what I was told.
If we have bad tenants we kukuma let their tent day come and watch them not pay. At that point our barrister sends them a notice to file for reclaimation of property. He may even seize thrir fridge as collateral or other property via the court until they are out and pay the mesne rent charges for everyday they left. They can even be forced to pay legal fees.
Properties / Concrete Slab For Car Park Needed by SoldierPikin: 9:36pm On Jan 16, 2020

I need it done to American or UK standards

Requirements:
Good finishing with helicopter floats.

Control joints

Does anyone know how much the materials and labour should cost?

Taking notes. Some Tiv girls have mad sex appeal but can flip the switch and turn crazy quickly. And yes, they often live apart from their husbands.

They should release him if they won't take him to court .

So many Nigerians are languishing in Nigerian prisons for years without trial...
This madness has to stop .

This are issues Aregbeshola should look into .

BINGO. Per international human rights organization, NIgeria has so many people in prisons who have never been convicted.
Also, it has people who have served sentences who have never been released.

Education / Re: Reps Call For Abolishment Of ‘Acceptance Fee’ Into Tertiary Institutions by SoldierPikin: 7:14am On Nov 22, 2019
Officialgarri:
Good move.

Many potential students have lost their admission because of the so-called "acceptance fee"
Because they practice such in America doesn't mean we have to do same here.

School fee, hostel fee, departmental fee, faculty fee and so many other fees are enough problems already.

Nigerians need to import other Africans to run universities.
The Nigerian university system is far too corrupt.

He was just detained on the 26th of September and she's already crying out for his release.
Is that how sex-starved she is?

Governor Ayade should gift her a vibrator so she does not interfere as justice runs it's course.

No critic of government must be spared.
This is the Next Level.

Crass and uncalled for. If you were detained for 1 day you and your family members would not like it.

China has joined Nigeria o. Me is not understanding o. I thought these countries are clean. Even the USA has their fair share of cyber scammers. But if u hear the hype on Nigerians you will think cyber crime is made in Nigeria. grin grin

They have always been masters of fraud.
Chinese thrive where there are poor checks and balances. Why do you think so many have come to Nigeria?
