You definitely clinging to nairaland as if your whole life depends on it
Does it ?
If I were you I would take a chill pill and let everything die down naturally
You had more than 5 clients from nairaland and you all messed it up
Who do you blame for that ?
Nobody here will allow anybody to fall into your trap again
And work on your ego, you are too arrogant for my liking

I am going to say this on a GENERAL LEVEL..... as someone who works within the "Security Apparatchik" and a Lawful Citizen.
I am also my Brother's Keeper so l owe it a duty to "express worry" .....when l see something going wrong.


1.) In this internet Age, what we say/WRITE ONLINE is different and even worse than what we SAY with our MOUTH (which can be denied, if not "On Record"wink

2.) We SAY things that we dont MEAN..... but even MEAN (do) what we dont SAY! Either way,
"Words are like Broken Eggs"! IRRECOVERABLE

3.) Not even a few people have gone to JAIL, just for saying something ONLINE.... even when they later claimed they said it as a JOKE!
Direct, Indirect and Concealed "ACTIVE" THREAT TO LIFE is a serious matter!
I said "Active" because its one thing say "I will Kill you"! Its another level when you OPENLY SOLICIT for a MEANS to carry it out!
People in Diaspora should know this even better!


4.) JUSTIFIABLE INTENTION at times, may lead to UNJUSTIFIABLE ACTIONS.
The former "is NOT" a VALID excuse for the latter.
(I always say: Never ACT, when you are ANGRY! The results is not always the best.)

5.) There is a Yoruba proverb (which l will just render in English, so we can all appreciate it) that says " The WITCH BRAGGED yesterday... and the CHILD DIED today, who would think twice before concluding that "it was the Witch that killed the Child"?


6.) God forbid if anything happens and the "Child actually gets killed"...... l tell you, running abroad is not even an option, everyone here (with the right tools and personnel) can be traced.... if the need arises!
I pray we dont use our own mouth (fingers) to put ourselves in an "Had l known" situation!

7.) It only takes "MOTIVE" .... and the "WEAPON" to establish GUILT, in a MURDER case!..... right now, l am seeing one, and an "active intention" to "acquire" the second

8.) Those who encourage MURDER (whether seriously or jokingly) should know that "ACCESSORY to MURDER" is a serious Felony that carries a hefty Jail term. [/b]
[b]RIGHTEOUS Anger can lead to UNRIGHTEOUS Consequences.

ALWAYS be in CONTROL of your Emotions, ....no matter how angry you are and how justified your Anger is!

9.) "COINCIDENCE" is when[b] ACTION meets WORDS[/b] .... even when both are supposed to be unrelated.
May we never be the Victim of a "Bad-Coincidence"!
Those who "urged you-on", will not be there to "back-you-Up", when shyte-hits-the-Fan.
Ask FFK and Olisah Metuh, if still in doubt

10.) Dont SAY what you DONT MEAN!.... its even worse when you put it into writing ....especially on the INTERNET! lipsrsealed

From day one, what I've been saying is for the aggrieved to haul Brabus to court. Tie up NextHome in litigation for a length time.

I've never suggested nor edged or urged anyone to become violent. My responses on here and that are archived by Google will bear witness to that.

However, I will be relentless in exposing Brabus and his failed builds to the eyes of the world. Nothing I post is new to Nairaland, it's all here in the archives. If my bubbling it up to counter an alleged foundation expert makes certain quarters uncomfortable then I offer no apologies.

I don't like to get involved in issues like this but Mr lastpage just summed up everything.

Building construction is a complex discipline, we keep learning everyday to improve ourself and do much better.

Some of Mr brabus' mistakes can happened to any builder here because we hardly carry out any soil test to ascertain soil engineering properties and when this soil is carried out, proper attention may not be paid to the laboratory test to determine all the parameters used for the analysis and design.

I worked for a consultancy film (briefly), they just copied and paste design without any analysis. Partly, this may be due to how low some clients are willing to pay(imagine some one paying 50 or 40k) for serious structural design of a duplex on a very poor soil.
In most cases after the soil test might have been done properly , the analysis and design may not be done properly... So you run into many problem.

I have turned down lots of job because either the design were poorly done and the owner is not willing to changed it or half way job with poorly don foundation. For example, I visited a site in warri to investigate a house that belongs to a "Nairalander '', I was shocked when I saw poorly the foundation and the first floor was,
the man wanted us to do the slab and upper floor but I turned it down. I then advice him to either convert the house to a Bungalow or demolish it because I know the house is a disaster waiting to happen.

Oga brabus has learnt one two lessons from those work as I have learned a lot from them. I have visited all those thread and look at things myself.... Learning is a continuous thing and we stop learning when we die

This is indeed a very very nice write up. I'm clapping. Even as a professionals in our various fields, we are all still human beings. We stop listening the day we die.

There's still enormous responsibility on Pros to avoid fundamental mistakes. A mistake on foundation cannot be easily corrected, a mistake in finishes can easily be corrected. Once again, thumbs up for your write up.

We all know that, he knows that.

But you will agree with me, planning MURDER is on a different level.

You're right Sir.

I got educated by my real estate lawyer on that.

When my seller came back to ask for more money, I told him to sue.

After he stopped laughing he told me that we should be thankful that we actually have land and that my build will be stuck while the case stays in court for 10 years.

Learning is good but don't do it on your customers dime. That's why we have apprentice. Brabus can go learn under Skimanski, Spyder880, etc

Also, don't gloat in front of a dissatisfied client.

@vicol @kolashangone @mufutau55 So I got the shocker of my life today. My Brother brought to my site today, a "trusted" supplier of aluminium roofing sheet with "samples of 0.55mm and 0.45mm". As part of my QA/QC or due diligence, I brought out caliper to measure. Guess what!!! 0.25mm and 0.35mm respectively!!! I was shocked!!! Please note that caliper is well calibrated.

Anyways, I continue my search for a "good" sheet!!!

You see what I'm saying sir.. Our brothers who deal in importation find profit by all means. It's not the fault of the trusted supplier o.. No be wetin he see for factory he go buy?
If you want a very very accurate Guage, go to Tower. You can still use First Aluminium too.. But the price eh.


On Tuesday, I bought Metcoppo 0.55 for 2847 per metre (before discount)
