Hey
guys, it has been a really long while.
I
have been working on something I’m hope would become the www.yelp.com of Nigeria and
hopefully Africa. For it to succeed, I would need the help of each and every
one of you.
It
would start out as a section of the blog and eventually, depending on its
success as a blog section, a website of its own and finally an app would be
developed for it.
In
the early days of this blog, we decided to start up a section that would
showcase and encourage up and coming young business owners. The Young and In
Charge Section was a huge success and we achieved this aim.
The
primary aim of this new section would be to give consumers a voice to speak out
on the services they receive from business owners, it would be a forum to speak
out on the good, the bad and the ugly services they receive from business
owner. Its very important to note that
we are not out to run anybody’s business down and so business owners would be
given an opportunity to tell their own side of the story.
In
the long run, one of the side effects I hope we would achieve is an improvement
of the services rendered by business owners. When business owners know that
there is a place where their services are being rated, they would sit up and
give their consumers value for their hard earned money.
That
said, I would like to introduce the new section of the blog to you, Rate That
Biz. Rate That Biz was inspired by my personal experience with the poor
services of an Abuja based Tailor. I would be sharing my story tomorrow.
If
you have an experience with a business owner you would like to share, please
send it to the email, abjloving@gmail.com.
Where possible if you have it, include the business’s/business owner’s contact
details.
