The Customers , Serve & Care.

Poor customer service is usual with many businesses locally (public & private ) from the Bank, to government offices, from waiting at the till in a supermarket to checking in for a flight or even having your parcels delivered to you, goods & service providers can treat you like they are doing you a favor for bringing business and your money to their organization.

So when I get great customer service, it's sometimes worth documenting it here and recommending that service provider to You!.

This week I want for a quick lunch at Nkoyo, a restaurant at Ceddi Plaza Abuja, Nigeria.

Made my order and lunch was served promptly, I couldn't wait to chow down since I skipped breakfast.


Just as I started chowing for some reason it turned out I  didn't like the fish I ordered, nothing really wrong with it, might just be the way it's marinated or all the spices didnt seat too well on my inside.



So I nibbled on it and downed the side dish, a plate of jollof rice and three slices of plantain, leaving the fish largely untouched.

I asked for my bill, the waitress looked at my plate and asked if anything was wrong, I said no, I didn't just like the fish. She asked if I  had it before, I said Yes, here and at Arugugu one of their branch restaurants.

She apologized, I said no problem at all, just get the bill and your POS machine. She leaves comes back and says my madam said would you like something else, I said no am good, just get me the bills.

She came back with the bill and said my madam said: "you don't need to pay for the food, just pay for the drink". I was like, are you sure? I don't mind paying oh, and am not angry.  She said no it's fine since you didn't enjoy the meal, my madam insists you don't pay.

I said alright! then, Thank you very much. 

You guys are far too kind, this is unusual but great customer service, many customers before me and after me would enjoy that same fish,as I know I  can be strange with food sometimes, but they cared enough that I couldn't just eat the fish even though it was not their fault  and am not even a regular.

So If that's not great customer service, then I wonder what is?



If you crave great food in a spot with a beautiful ambiance and excellent customer service, visit  Nkoyo Restaurant, @  Ceddi Plaza Abuja, Nigeria.

Highly recommended .Cheers 🍷

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

Black In The Oval Office, Africa Don't Celebrate Yet

Mr Obama proposes to invest $150bn in alternative fuel over the next 10 years, he said the US would not be held "hostage to dwindling resources, hostile regimes , and a warming planet”. He called for greater fuel efficiency and an "energy economy" aimed at creating millions of jobs for Americans. "We (the US Government )will commit ourselves to steady, focused, pragmatic pursuit of an America that is freed from our energy dependence, and empowered by a new energy economy that puts millions of our citizens to work". Read and read it well Nigerian government, policy makers and anyone who cares, the hand writing is on the wall, since successive government in Nigeria have only payed lip service to creating an economy for Nigeria that is diversified and not heavily reliant on oil, I guess this is a wakeup call. If the major buyer of your product say he see a future of less dependence on not just you as a supplier, but also on the product you sell in the ...

Power of Social Media

So we approaching the last weeks in July 2015, am setting up and trying to know what it feels like working from my new office space within the GRA ( government reserved area) of the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. A key question for me is, how will I sort out my lunch daily? because it seems like getting lunch is going to be a challenge. As far as I know there are no eateries offering food delivery service in GRA Port Harcourt, unlike in Lagos my office is located in the hub of business Victoria island where its common place to find a range of eateries, pizza joint etc, all offering delivery services. Thank God for google I decided to do quick search online and voilĂ ,! I found Chicken Republic in Port Harcourt. They now offer delivery to some locations in the city and they cover the GRA where my office in Port Harcourt is located. I placed a call to what seems like a central line for all Chicken Republic orders, the customer service center staffs was nice and well...
