Hello,

I think we can use this platform to inform Nigerians about incompetent programmers that collect money under false pretense and at the end of the day messes your business up. Feel free to provide the names, phone numbers and the name of their company so that startups will not hire them ever.

Oga sometimes the clients are the problem o
Dem no go pay better money .
They would be making strange demands and up to 200 reviews
Na all this people wey dey collect 2k for website dey spoil market for us
If you tell them their demands has exceeded what they paid for(after they also stated clearly what they want,and you did exactly that) ,they would label you scam
You go dey hear strange ,strange request .
The more reason why i stopped 3D animation ,Nigerians don't value creative guys ,Imagine somebody asking me to do 5 minutes 3d animation for 15k something wey 100k no go do sef .
I kuku shift go web dev and programming
I have been accused of scamming some clients ,including a nairalander sef don blame me ,for the same reason above .

Then I learnt my mistake :

All web/graphics/programmer/animator or any freelancer , should always CLEARLY STATE ,what you are going to do for the client and the limit to the number of reviews that prize will cover
Always collect 60 % before you start anything
Be polite ,I know how annoying some clients are ,but cool temper
Try and meet deadline ,i no say e no easy ,with Nepa and everything ,just try
Give realistic deadline and some days extra incase of unforseen circumstances
Clients too should stop pricing our work like pepper
Programmers too make una ,know una worth,stop collecting yeye money

Just close this thread or better still change the title to something different if you've not got something better to post.

Clients come online to look for programmers who will develop facebook for them for 30k and yet come back here and post that their fathers are scammers.

Even when competent developers tell them that it costs 3 million they'll say the developer is a scam.

So who do u blame?
Nonsense

I am trying to understand your point here really. So you would rather collect the 30k and develop something stupid?
You sound like a developer, kindly share successful applications that you have developed and the happy clients you have.


If your point is that client negotiate a lower deal is why you dish out bad job then that is plain scam

Thats relative my oga
What you might call expensive /over pay (even it is 1 million),some developers wont even collect that amount from you ,so its relative .
Even though i understant it might feel like a large sum to you ,the developers experience and skillset might be worth it .
But..... which developer do you like this na ,I fit collect the work o,I dey find money to invest in my startup,no kidding if there is any job let me know .

Of course, the amount is relative.
But money is not criteria for bad coding, its either you are good or you are a scam. It's not possible for a good programmer to write bad code.

I will still provide names and tell you how much was paid to develop an app and how much the app lost in 12 months.
