Let me not lie to you my friends, I am afraid of this question because the variables that lead to my charges differ from event to event.
Variables such as location, capacity, duration, nature of event etc
It can be challenging sometimes plus I hate haggling.
I had to go for a negotiation skills training twice and people still maltreat me sometimes Lol!
Anyway I was inspired about 2 years ago to draw up a rate card and I would like to share the rate card here. Take the hint peeps...
Arrival from a minimum of 60 Mins
early in a freshly waxed and fully air-conditioned SUV or 4 WD automobile…. will fly in on a
helicopter if necessary.
For appearance,
I will be dressed to the nines with glorious foreign locks of freshly harvested human hair,
exotic coloured contact lenses, airbrushed nails, designer pumps with stiletto
heels, vintage jewellery, absent facial hair, flawless make up, extra long
lashes (with subtle glitter if night time event), unwanted adipose tissues and
stretch marks nipped and tucked away scientifically
…Hot! Hot! Hot!Diction and Grammar would be Flawless! British International standards, disposition would be
charming, vibrant, eager to delight audience, eager to serve the world taking ownership of event and steering it to awesome heights of entertainment
Arrival at least 30 Minutes early in air-conditioned, well maintained automobile dressed in formal high fashion; treated human hair, heels, costume jewels, flawless make up, no facial hair, subtle elegance…. Hot! .....Speaking clear English ,....International standards with appropriate use of verbs, tenses, adjectives, pronouns and Nouns still cheerful, and vibrant taking ownership serving with colour , verve and vigour.
Facial hair may be present but not visible to you, fresh make up (daily touch standards)…Fine girl no pimples! Speaking good English as acceptable to the average elite Nigerian Audience....cheerful, vibrant and motivated.....Present and willing to help event succeed
ALUMINIUM service
I will be punctual! Be rest assured you will
not look for me too long ,I will be there on time.Yes I’d be clothed (I can’t come to an event naked now can I?)
Grammar may sometimes break into bad pidgin while tenses, pronouns etc may get mixed up along the way however will be audible and decipherable to the average Nigerian man out there. Disposition will be generally optimistic.....happy...religious... positive.... All will be well......One day God will do it kind of thing and creativity will be centred around life issues such as what the government can do to help the society and why good husbands are scarce etc
Might send someone with facial and chest hair if something else comes up like “keeping up with the khardasians” , Edge of Paradise or Tinsel reruns . My grammar will be periodically punctuated with extreme exclamations and outbursts in Igbo or Yoruba..... Will sha perform but my disposition will be sharp! Might look like anger and vexation of spirit to you but it’s really a drive for results....don’t look at it like that.
