Patronizing Nigerian Artisans is like playing Russian Roulette, a game of chance where an empty revolver gun is loaded with half of its bullets and fired. It’s either you get shot or the gun just blanks.

When hiring Nigerian artisans, there’s a 50% chance that you would not like the outcome of that transaction. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great artisans but many of them can become a pain in the a** with their shoddy jobs, lack of punctuality and constant lies.  If you have an artisan with a knack for excellence and consistency, you need to hold on to them like your life depends on it because there are only 4 or 5 of them left in Nigeria.

Given my experience, I can provide you with a long list of Nigerian Artisans that are sure to disappoint you, but let’s start with 5.

At the very top of my list with a first-class degree in disappointment is none other than yours truly: 

Tailors

During the holidays, I wanted to make some new clothes for my husband and surprise him. I was already daydreaming of how I would surprise him but boy, did I have my hopes dashed.

You know that thing they say about Nigerian tailors and clothes in December, I experienced it firsthand and it was painful! I am the type of customer who doesn’t know how to complain when I get poor service, but rest assured that I would never patronize that vendor again. 

Tailors would break your heart more than your significant other. They lie, hide and evade all your efforts to reach them so easily. I’m sure every Nigerian has had a taste of tailors’ wahala before.

From what I ordered vs what I got to failing to meet up with agreed timelines, messing up your fabric (getting clothes burnt) and keeping back a bit of the fabric for themselves, the list is actually endless. The painful part is that when they use your materials to make their own clothes, they make them so well and look beautiful in them.

Mechanics

When it comes to lying, Nigerian Mechanics are second only to the devil. Once you hear “AHHHH!” when the mechanic is under your vehicle, just forget it, he is going to bill you! They never find only one fault with a car, it must be at least 3 faults!

I can’t forget their aversion to permanent fixes. They would use things like palm oil, eba, and even noodles as replacements for actual car repair necessities after charging you for those things. When they fix your car they must test it around town and even use it to carry babes. Your wife will see your car in a restaurant, and start questioning you, not knowing that your favorite mechanic went to enjoy life a bit. 

Nigerian Mechanics do not understand the gravity of their job. While a shoddy job done by a tailor could lead to a fashion embarrassment, a shoddy job from a mechanic could lead to loss of life.

Plumbers

Plumber gees; they trick you that they’re about to do good work by always complaining about the job done by the plumber before them. With all these assertions, you would assume that once they fix the leak, you would never see their face again, but no. They fixed the leak but you might need to change the whole pipe by next week. They work only when they want to and they are always busy with ‘outside work,’ meaning, they dictate when they would be available. You can never bank on a Nigerian plumber to get to you on time.

Electricians

Electricians are the star boys of artisans, they always work as though they are invisible and they are most powerful when they are fixing generators or reconnecting NEPA light. Gen fixing is something they never get right, they would fix it today and next week you would be ringing their phone. When they fix the wiring of a house, you can’t even trust that the ground won’t shock you.

Dispatch Rider

These guys aren’t really artisans but they must feature here. Don’t tell them to deliver food, especially jollof rice and turkey. If they are kind, you might get only the rice without the turkey or half of both and you’re expected to be understanding because “country hard.”

They are also notorious for arriving late. So if you want to order food, you need to drink garri first because before they arrive, you might die of hunger. They don’t have patience so once they arrive, they expect you to rush out and get your property.

One thing I’ve learnt to do whenever a dispatch rider has a delivery for me, is to examine the item (edible or not) before they leave, to avoid unnecessary stories.         

Nigerian artisans can be very stressful to work with so if you find one that does work with excellence and punctuality, hold on to them like your life depends on it cause it actually might. I wish you good luck.

  2. What are anti-detection browsers and why do users need them?

    Every time we visit a website, we leave a digital trace. This trace helps websites track our preferences, habits, and even location. However, many users want to maintain the privacy of their online activity. This is where specialized tools called anti-detection browsers come in.

    Definition

    An anti-detection browser is specialized software designed to mask and modify the characteristics of a user’s device, thereby hiding their true identity. These browsers help prevent users from being tracked by various monitoring systems, such as cookies, device fingerprinting, and geolocation services.

    How do anti-detection browsers work?

    Every time a website is visited, the browser transmits a series of unique metadata, including the operating system version, screen resolution, fonts and languages used, browser type, and much more. This information forms a unique user profile known as a “browser fingerprint.” Anti-detect browsers allow you to modify these characteristics to make your digital profile less recognizable.
    For example, some anti-detect browsers allow users to create virtual profiles, each with unique settings and configurations. This means that even if one account is blocked or restricted, another will remain undetected.

    Why use an anti-detect browser?

    Privacy and Security
    The main reason for using anti-detect browsers is to ensure user privacy. They help protect against unwanted surveillance and collection of personal information by third parties. They are especially useful for those who work with sensitive data or engage in activities related to protecting their identity.

    Bypassing Restrictions and Bans
    Many websites use automatic mechanisms to detect suspicious activity, which often results in restricted access to certain resources. For example, marketplaces and trading platforms may restrict access to their services if multiple login attempts are detected from the same IP address or profile. Using an anti-detect browser significantly reduces the risk of being subject to such restrictions.

    Testing and Optimization
    Antidetect browsers are also widely used by marketing professionals and SEO analysts. Thanks to the ability to create multiple profiles, specialists can effectively test advertising campaigns, monitor the behavior of different audience segments, and improve the quality of services provided.

    Key Features and Functions of Anti-Detect Browsers

    Creating Virtual Profiles
    Users can create an unlimited number of virtual profiles, each with unique characteristics, such as different operating systems, screen resolutions, and browser types. This makes one real computer appear as if it were hundreds of separate devices.

    Cookie Management
    Most standard browsers save cookies automatically, allowing websites to remember your device. Anti-Detect Browsers provide full control over these files, allowing you to delete, edit, or save individual cookies manually.

    Proxy Server Support
    Using proxy services is an integral part of the functionality of anti-detect browsers. Proxies allow you to hide your real IP address, creating the illusion of being located elsewhere in the world. Many anti-detect browsers integrate with popular proxy providers, ensuring maximum performance.

    Automatic Configuration Switching
    Some advanced anti-detection browsers support automatic changes to device settings and characteristics, reducing the likelihood of your activity being detected in real time. An anti-detectyou can afford. Special New Year offer: discount with promo code 2026NY

    Recommendations for Choosing the Right Anti-Detection Browser

    When choosing an anti-detection browser, consider the following criteria:

    • Supported OS: Make sure the product you choose is compatible with your operating system.
    • Number of supported profiles: The more profiles the browser supports, the more efficient it will be.
    • Proxy Integration: Built-in support for popular proxy services significantly simplifies your work.
    • Cost: Some solutions are free, but most professional tools require a subscription.
    Anti-detection browsers are an essential tool for anyone looking to add an extra layer of security and privacy online. Whether you work with large amounts of data or simply want to avoid intrusive tracking, using such a tool will help you stay protected and free from unnecessary third-party intrusion. Now that you understand the basic principles of anti-detection browsers, you can confidently choose the right tool for you and begin enjoying all the benefits of complete online privacy.
