This Client is really doing good for his neighbors. Imagine installing those electricity poles from his own pocket and the people in the areas will also enjoy this along that route and more (abi na NEPA dey do am). May God continue to enrich his pockets. Oga Brabus, well done and tell the Client we hail him.

brabus: Long time since last update... few pix from the Chateau

Readers beware! I'm the owner of this project and I don’t want to subscribe to Brabus deception here. I met Brabus on Nairaland and I think providing feedback is good for this platform.

Just to give you an idea of my frustrations on this project, Brabus collected money for Windows and for over two months he did not supply the windows. The windows in the pictures he post here are replacement that I contracted, delivered and installed after many attempts to get him to supply what I paid for has failed. It is painful to see him post pictures of the house after he diverted my money for his personal use and delayed my project. An honorable man will not use the same job for advertisement!

In addition to the disappointment on the Windows, he also supplied only half of the tiles that I paid for and supplied Chinese instead of Spanish tiles. I have had to spend N600,000 for additional tiles and those tiles in the pictures were the tiles I just bought last week.
I paid for him to connect electric feed to the house and he is yet to do the work after two weeks. The borehole system for which he has been fully paid is yet to function.

He is aware that we need to move into the house on or before Dec 15, but does not care if my plans are disrupted. Right now he has collected more than N1.7m for jobs not done and all I get is a promise to repay me in January, as if I’m a bank. He owes many of the workers on site for many weeks of hard labor.

I'm posting this here so that others can benefit from my experience.

Readers I have been holding back from commenting about this fraudster called Brabus. Below is my post about the oSemi Detached Duplex he is building and blogging about. You can also read it here

https://www.nairaland.com/1207845/paper-brick-construction-semi-detached-duplex/8#19947549



I think it is fair for readers to know the kind of character or fraudsters that Brabus is. He comes here posting self glorifying pictures and commentaries while defrauding his clients in the back end.

Brabus has been given N1.5million for the windows and so on for this project. To date we are yet to see or understand what has become of this money. This is not the first time Brabus or whatever the hell he calls himself has defrauded his clients. His client in Ile Oluji is complaining about N1.7million which was given to Brabus and for which he is unable to account. See the clients post in

https://www.nairaland.com/1338637/chateau-ile-oluji-construction-journal/33

This year alone, I have gotten calls from at least 2 of Brabus clients complaining about giving him money and not seeing the work. If he denies it, I will reveal the names of these clients right here on this blog.

This is to prevent others from being defrauded by Brabus. "BUYER BEWARE"

If this is true, Brabus is finished as far as getting jobs on Nairaland and indeed any other avenue is concerned. If it's true it means that deception and lack of integrity is the trademark of Brabus. I remember vividly pleading on behalf of Brabus after the incident of Jadaycosair's and Ahonai's (not sure if I got the name right). The problem is that if this is true, it will have a massive effect on the confidence of potential patrons of Builders on Nairaland and my wife will be vindicated because she thinks I'm loosing my marbles by extoling the virtues of builders on Nairaland whom as far as she's concerned are fictitious and invisible. I've just come back from Nigeria two days ago after about five weeks sojourn to purchase a carcass bungalow at Mayfair Gardens in Lekki. I must say that my experience with the so called estate agents in Nigeria is very disappointing and extremely frustrating. I found the bunch of them disingenuous, untrustworthy, unprofessional and classless. For a Nigerian in diaspora, it was a different experience entirely to what I'm used to in the U.K. At some point I almost gave up and come back to London without achieving my objective of securing the property but fortunately I came across a decent lady who owned the property that was sold to me. The chain of the agents had a field day fighting among themselves for a share of the agency fees in a disgraceful manner I've never witnessed in my entire life.
I'm now even more afraid of what is lying ahead of me completing the project because of the attitude of an average building professionals in Nigeria who believes that everyone building a house is a politician or top civil servant with stolen money and as such, they should be charged for services and materials outrageously. I'm just hoping that the allegations against Brabus is not true because if it is, it will make me loose faith in the builders on Nairaland and indeed Nigeria and it will have a massive effect on seeing through my building project. Once bitten twice shy. Mr Brabus, what have you got to say to the accusations of your esteemed client whom those of us that has been following the 'Ile Oluji Chateau' knows that he has spent a fortune on the project and he deserves nothing but a successful and flawless delivery of his project. Anything short of that will be unacceptable and will probably lead to your extinction as a builder on Nairaland as you will be regarded as a fraudster and a man that lacks integrity and honesty.

Dear Sirs and Madam,

I would like to express my deep regrets for falling short of your expectation and apologize for my actions. It was inappropriate, disrespectful and lacked the professionalism that you expect from me.

While I cannot alter what has transpired, I sincerely apologize for the shortcomings on this project.

Please bear with me. I have no intention of defrauding those who put food on my table. Not even at the tail end of the project.

Sincerely,

Brabus.
Re: The Chateau In Ile-oluji: Our Construction Journal by egin(m): 8:49am On Dec 03, 2013
Is that all you have to say? You did not address any of the allegations from your clients. What happened to their money? These are serious allegations that need to be answered fully.

The first step is to visit the office of the builder in question to know him better just like my client does ..Now back to issue at hand .I have a strong feeling something wrong somewhere because one can't do a project to stage and fumble

Brabus, I take your response to the allegations of your client as an admission of guilt to all the charges against you. I'm not sure if any PR can get you out of the hole you've dug yourself into. You strike me as one of those untrustworthy professionals who goes bunkers once a client's money is handed over to them and they can't work out the amount of the money that is their profit from the amount to execute the job because you lack financial discipline. This behaviour is becoming a set pattern of your modus operandi and anyone who wants to deal with you will have to factor disappointment and misappropriation of funds as a major concern in dealing with you. It is beyond my remit on this forum to advise Nairalanders not to deal with you but I should think that your reputations precedes you in this regard. I still want to believe that there are still trustworthy builders on Nairaland because I can still hand out my money to Spyder and sleep well at night because he has consistently displayed impeccable traits of honesty and hard work on this forum my only problem is that he doesn't operate in Lagos area.

What sort of strong feeling? Are you insinuating that the client is telling porkies or did you not read the response by Brabus?
