Answers to FAQs
Why another directory?
This service is a statement. Obviously, Multi Dynamics Nigeria Limited appreciates collaborative work and does not like re-inventing
the wheels. The difficulties we encountered while attempting
to use other services, and reluctance in implementing recommendations
left us with no choice but to implement this service. We have
summarised our experience with other services in the service
mission statement and
we encourage you to not only share your experience with us but
also task us with recommendations.

It is expensive searching for contacts online, what other form can i access this directory?
Regrettably we do not have other means to distribute this directory at this
time. However, arrangements are in top gear to distribute this
directory through soft and hard copy forms - downloadable pdfs,
CDs and of course printed formats.

How long does it take to screen an establishment?
Normally all submissions are reviewed under forty eight hours (working days
only). Subject to the quality of submission, the support team
may verify the authenticity of information and if found to be
adequate, would approve the establishment for public view. When
such submission is inadequate, the support team may seek for
further clarification and this would obviously require additional
time to complete. This makes it imperative that new users should
review the user guide,
prepare necessary data to be submitted in advance before attempting
to register.

How is an establishment screened?
The screen process starts with a review of a submission, thereafter followed
by verification of the authenticity of the information provided.
This often takes different forms and may take a combination
of forms. It may include physical visit, contact information
verification and consultation of well recognised sources of
authenticate information – publications, internet, etc.

Simply contact us and our support
team will respond to you as soon as possible..

Someone contacted me and requested money to register my establishment?
This service is free and you should not pay money to use it. Please review
the terms
of use and be reassured that we do not charge fee to use
this service. We also encourage you to report such requests
by contacting us.

Someone contacted me and requested for my bank details, what should I do?
Report the individual to the law enforcement agents and contact
us. We do not collect such information and have no provision
for such in our database. Please review the terms
of use and user
guide to get acquainted with the kind of information we
collect.

I found this project laudable and would want to get involved, how do I start?
Simply review our partnership
page, then get acquainted on the opportunities that are available
to you and contact us.

What can I benefit if I should advertise on this service?
The benefit of advertisements is often unquantifiable but often summarised
as publicity and consequently manifests as bumper sales. This
service has been designed to serve the public and at no cost.
It is therefore a hub for contacts and every visit will definitely
note your banner and what you do. For further information, please
review our partnership
page.

How do I advertise on this service?
To place advert on this service, we encourage you to visit our partnership
page and thereafter contact
us.

Why is the service statistics focused on visits instead of hits?
At this point, we did not consider hits (particularly when establishment
pages are refreshed many times) to be of statistical importance
to anyone. Even though such figures could be of interest to
contact persons in establishments, we discourage such by aiming
at eliminating deceit (multiple refreshing of pages) and presentation
of biased statistics.
[top]
I need to see more stats, when would that happen?
Soon, we are implementing more stats and would at some point
grant free access to life stats. However, that would only
happen when the ongoing study must have been concluded and
favours such action. Note that our immediate concern includes
abuse and costs.
