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 🍷

2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...
