Excuzeme:
Alhaji M,
I salute your maturity.
I am pained that you are forced to make the post above, even though you have restrained yourself from getting directly involved in recent past.
I know about your efforts in the past, even offline (I hope you remember that you are the one who asked that the matter be taken offline when l became involved.
It is all documented from page 124/127 and below is my own comment made on January 30, 2016).


https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/124#42478911

What else can anyone do to satisfy another person, on a matter that you are just trying to HELP?

If you read further between pages 124 and 127 you will see further contributions from me and many other good people, until Brabus decided to agree to our requests to start paying him. For that alone, he has my own respect because he listened to other people's request.

I have come to notice that these group of people have this habit of FORCING you to take a side.
They also have a method of FORCING you to OPENLY pit yourself against Brabus otherwise they would call you a Fraudster, say you are sharing money with Brabus, you are in cahoots with Brabus, until you capitulate. They did same to Agarawu, Lastpage, , Egun(when Brabus has not called his house a name), Excuzeme, many more people and now YOU.

They have pushed you to CAPITULATE and make your post above and l am sad at that sort of bullying someone into submission.

They use all sorts of tricks like:

-You are afraid of Brabus (when we all know that they are the ones afraid of Brabus otherwise they would have done something about it or stop dealing with him financially).
-You did not rebuke him (when we all know the efforts you have made in correcting him in the past)
-Attach you to another Moniker or call you last page or Brabus himself, to cause confusion (when we know who this people are, from their history of posts
-You did not ban him (when they know that you dont have that authority, since you are no longer a Mod here)
-They insult you until you submit
All these methods are just a strategy to pressurise you into submission, to do what you dont want to do, and it seems they have succeeded once again.
But these COLONY of LEPERS and Scallywags are just wasting their time with me, when it comes to online intimidation.

But then, as an elder, maybe you dont mind.
Now that they have forced you to take a position and make a public show of it, (even though we all know your position from time), they have come back to accept you and play to the gallery with you.
Its so sad that you need to state in capitals that you are not afraid of Brabus, just to satisfy them. .

One thing l know is that we will all reap what we sow.
Those who sow EVIL will reap it one way or another and when they do, they would blame others for it not knowing that it is KARMA!

I think the next thing is that they would force you to change the name/title of the thread or tell Brabus that he cant post here anymore, even when you cant enforce that.
But what they cant do is force @Excuzeme to dance to their tune.

Edit: Destruction11, l just saw you walking out of the thread now, after making my post.
Now they will be happy and thinking 'we drove him out'.
Anyway, its your right.

mufutau55:

[size=40pt]Brabus, I am not one of your supporters, and I do not condone or tolerate act of scamming or defrauding anyone anytime.

What do all these people have in common? The above are the known ones who have overcome their embarrassment at being duped and have taken the bold step to come out despite being ridiculed by others. I am certain there are a lot more on and off Nland. The ones up there are the tales we have heard, clients of n3xt / brabus.

It is easy to say "let's move on" afterall you and I have not lost money to him. Let's move on but leave him to post here so that we can benefit from his internet searches and photos from other Builders' sites. For those in the diaspora who may not know, getting photos from a site in Naija is really as simple as walking on there to take photos with or without greasing palms. As long as the real builder is not on Nland to raise dust, the audience still believes they are looking at photos from the fraudster's projects.

I am embarrassed for the many gentlemen on this site who are professionals in their fields and maintain a gentleman mien in their different locations abroad but are very comfortable fraternizing with a confirmed criminal element. So, a group of men hang out together in a beer parlour (this thread) and award building contracts to someone in their midst who presents himself as a Builder (n3xt / brabus ). He goes and robs their homes but still comes back to hang out at the beer parlour with victims and non victims alike. The victims keep making noise but the non victims tell them to keep quiet and let the faaji continue, afterall the beer parlor is not a police station. Decent men would tell the fraudster in their midst that he is no longer welcome until he at least apologizes to all victims and refund all monies but you see the very typical selfish behavior exhibited here over and over again.

This beer parlor is where he lays his traps and lies in wait, exactly as someone said up there. But it makes more sense to the selfish brethren to ban victims from here to another thread far from this one, another thread with less than 30 posts in 2 months and leave brabus to continue with his trade here. Let's just pretend victims have no right to be hurting even though none of us would willingly gift millions of naira to a criminal.

Alhaji S. I noticed everyone is unwilling to call you out on this issue so I will. Why? Because I am Yoruba like you and I have no alliances nor have I obtained any favors from Builders or clients. My conscience is clear. No offence to any other tribes but I speak of what I know. To whom much is given (respect in this section), much is expected. Maybe I simply missed where you have asked Brabus to stop posting on your thread until he does the right thing but I don't think so. I have noticed your requests though that the victims go to other threads created by yourself and n3xt to air their complaints. Very interesting! The fraudster is free to post here and ignore victims but not victims? S-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y? ? ? You have been named an elder here and would appear to be the most elderly on this thread but what kind of elder refuses to voice out against repeated injustices? Because the victims have not obtained court judgements against him? Because their allegations have "not been proven in court?" Unlike folks like eghosajohnny who can be summarily condemned? Alhaji S, what would the Naija community in NY think of your silence and deflection in the face of what is going on here? Rhetorical question only, no response needed.

Here is where I remind all those who are members of professional bodies of ethical obligations when posting here. Nland is not out of the reach of ethical standards you have sworn to uphold. If you work for a large organization, this is also the time to go check your employer's social media policy so that you will be guided when you post. Even with using non work devices to post on Nland, you can be fired for behavior and utterances that are untoward and which your employer considers indicting.

The bible says "be ye not partakers of other men's evil." A man reaps what he sows. For actively encouraging a fraudster and shouting to quiet his victims so that you can receive advice for your builds, do you not know you will reap what you have sown? Same people are surprised when others not named brabus rip them off. There are many n3xts in the building industry and each enabler of fraud will find his own tormentor. It's really as simple as that, just stating a fact of life. The only difference is that the fraudster that cleans you out may not even have presentation skills anywhere as good as n3xt. Some of the people building homes in Naija are only one brabus /n3xt builder/supplier away from bankruptcy. How many of you can afford to lose colossal amounts of money to n3xt without declaring bankruptcy? ?

N1.7 million missing on neophyte's Ile Oluji thread, N1.5 million on vimo3's site, major rework done on their builds by other victims, running into millions of naira. Everybody facing cost overruns because of one man's greed. Truth is wherever there is money, thieves abound. It's like bees and honey. Potential loot is a couple of millions on an average one storey building so the stakes are high. Why do you think n3xt is always here pushing plagiarized innovations and answering questions before the next victim or n3xt establishes email/phone/text contact? If he was able to recruit new clients on his threads, do you think he would be posting here?

From what I have seen, N3xt has an established pattern of premeditated large scale fraud. In saner climes, he should have had court judgements ruin him into bankruptcy by now because there is ample evidence to back litigation. In Nigeria, it is easy to tell victims to go to court aka waste some more money on a nefarious character but we all know how the system works. I'm yet to hear n3xt refunded anyone's money in full so I am not expecting to hear of any refunds. Career criminals never make any headway because they will never enjoy contentment or peace of mind. Building a house in the village cannot buy that, stealing millions cannot buy it, all the money in the world cannot buy it either. Look inwards, look around you and ask yourself if you are truly happy. You cannot be because awon apanilekunjaiye do not experience peace of mind nor happiness. The self destructive behavioor keeps pushing for more and more and it is never enough

From what I have seen here, N3xt is a sociopath, unfeeling, lacking a conscience, and totally unrepentant. What will be his end? Your guess is as good as mine.

For anyone still considering giving him a chance knowing all that he has done, you are free to but do not expect an about turn. A decent man would consider the disgrace he has suffered and seek to redeem himself when given another opportunity and prove his "haters" wrong. The forces driving n3xt do not push him into that line of thinking.

kolnel:
@mmitimo
Good piece you wrote up there

Nigeria is what it is because good people refused to speak up against corruption

The real victims are the folks who lost millions of money to one unrepentant garrulous quack mr jack of all trade master of none

The real thief is not the guy that went to steal but his supporters, so says an adage

We should all learn to condemn what's wrong

Excuzeme:
You do not need to ask after me. I am not a LEPER!
Go and sort out your issue with Brabus or was l there when you both strike a deal?
If Brabus was not so important, why the hell have you been crying over this same issue, so much so if they ask you what is your name, you MUST mention Brabus and how he has only paid you 300K?

Everybody that does not wail with you suddenly become Brabus or share in your misery money.
Why are you attacking everybody, like a mad Dog

I am not a LEPER! I can deal with my problem without crying for almost 500pages on Nairaland.
Leave me out of your madness, you are obviously losing it over Brabus matter

Excuzeme:
@Excuzeme is here!

How can l epp your case or do you want me to arrest Brabus for you as well, while you hide behind and refuse to show up in person?

I cannot cry more than the bereaved.
Even if you are my blood brother, when l get to EFCC and report your matter, they would ask me whether l paid Brabus money or gave him a contract?

Until some of you are ready to man-up (and l just cant understand how a legitimate person, who does legitimate work/business and earn legitimate money, will keep hiding from legitimate Govt authorities who can help them legitimately?) and admit your own part of these Client/Builder misunderstanding, your only solution is to cry on Nairaland till 2019 when there would be another election.

Brabus is not the only Builder on nairaland, why do you all keep going back to him? (maybe he charges small money and some of you want cheap work?)
Even if we are to beleive that silly idea that he is using jazz, ho come it is only a certain set of people who cant show face in public, that the jazz is affecting?
Many, many people are building everyday on Nairaland, how come it is these same set of people that have been telling us stories since 2014 or 2015.

Like someone sad, SOMETHING must be wrong SOMEWHERE.

Anyway, if you really want to engage me on this matter, come to Alhaji M's thread or any other one created for that purpose.
Otherwise, just mind your business and let me mind mine.

[b]@Fastshipping.....The project started in January last year. Let's just say, I finished paying for carcass as at October last year due to several delays from him. I was paying in installment at the end of each completed stage but not long after the project started, I started paying him out of next installmental payment continuously. He told me the house will be completed in less than 6 months but obviously, thats history now. I paid last in december when Bosun Shoyoye a.k.a Brabus convinced me to pay for plastering and screeding since it could be going on concurrently. Till now, roofing hasn't been done. One story after another, he is so full of stories and excuses. I was in Nigeria last month and the house has lots of errors, which I don't want to start going into details now since he said has corrected some of them. But in all sincerity, i curse daily, the day I met him. Anyone that decides to consider him or give him a second chance like I have done and a few others have done, will one day write a similar story.

babalose:
@whizbrain....you better be very very careful otherwise you wlll get your fingers badly burnt. I am still battling with brabus issues after paying him a total of almost 20m as at December last year and my house is still yet to be roofed. One story after another. I saw the signs on the wall but i am someone who also believed in giving people second chances. Don't make the worst mistake of your life so far. Now, I am just trying to find a way out of the virus called Bosun Shoyoye a.k.a Brabus. That guy will kill your dreams.


Babalose

44chux:
It's too late for reconciliation coz irreparable damage has already been done to Bosun's brand as well as this thread's.

Furthermore Bosun has maintained he was just a middle man in the fake approval saga. If he has evidence of remittance of any like funds as consideration to a third party on behalf of maverick around that period, then it makes it deficult for the prosecution to prove him guilty of more than negligence. And considering time and resources to be invested in the matter, both parties would loose equally.

QC1 being a gentleman, and having tried to salvage Bosun's reputation b4 himself becoming a victim, definitely needs more than just an apology from Bosun.

Best action would be for Bosun to stay off nairaland until such a time he can stage a rebranded comeback. But he can't. He seems to have psychological issues as do a lot of mature men here... (Well there's no shame in that. I once had issues when I was trying so hard to buy recognition by blowing substantial sums at clubs, parties and public events for years, but that is just part of the growing up phase)

It was with a heavy heart that I had to unfollow this thread. I believe I learnt more than building construction alone. I learnt how modern warfare was total absolute warfare. I don't think Ejunmogaji has come to terms with the shocker he got. QC1 is asking for a security breach by leaving too much personal info online. Lastpage is now a silent follower of the thread (at least he didn't hide under a new moniker). Maverick, 3strikes & AZUH lost their once high NL respect, and the list goes on.

EgunMogaji:
I couldn't have said it any better.

My oga Skimanski, it's because we're mostly in the diaspora that we understand that a brand can be killed in a minute online or made great in an instant.

It's also that sane reason that we enjoy our freedom of speech while behaving mostly within the TOS of the site.

What you're asking for cannot happen in a civilized country talk less if a thieving free fall all jungle that is mostly Nigeria.

OnetimeOnly:
Evil prospers when good people say nothing.
I admire your work and reputation on this thread. However the refusal of the most reputable people on this thread to call out a dishonest/fraudster builder is why this thread has devolved this way.
Do you know why this thread has devolved into negativity? Because most of the experiences of clients on this thread have been negative from 1 builder-Brabus/N3xt/Bosun/Nexthome
Most of negative comments on this thread stared from dissatisfied Clients of the frauster builder that devolved into a mud-slinging mess.
You are known to be reputable and protect your name and integrity on this forum ferociously .you also know that in the services business delivery and competence are important. BRABUS/N3XT/BOSUN/NEXTHOME THE FRAUD HAS NONE.
You know what the big picture is? HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. If someone cannot trust a builder to deliver as promised, How will progress happen?. PROGRESS CANNOT HAPPEN WITHOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROFESSIONALS INVOLVED. And the fraudster builder that dominates this thread has no integrity!

mavverick:
Its a known fact.
Azuh = Bosun Shoyoye
One of the many monikers created to as you rightly stated, distract/divert and divide. But guess what, he is only fooling himself when builders are building houses and making great strides in life, hin wife still dey follow am enter mega chicken go do 419.

EgunMogaji:
I forgot what the next objective was, 500?

Excuzeme:
I am still trying to figure-out what Brabus should have done, when @KolashangOne asked him the above question!
Should he have IGNORED KolashangOne or should he have answered him, in a few words as he did?

What would YOU do, in his place?

From HappyKay, to itswell1, to Sensegiver, to 3strikes, to Bigemouth,to Maverick, to Erico2K and many other multi-user id's that you people have been using to "ask and answer" yourselves in the same breath, YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING NEW!

It was agreed by all to keep this thread CLEAN and that ALL complaints/Bashing/madness should be taken to special, dedicated thread opened by many people, including Hajj M, Egunmogaji, Brabus himself, etc to air your grievances.

But like broken record, small and very sad people keep polluting this wonderful thread.
You said this matter has been on for over three years so, what are you saying now that you have not said in the last three years?

But l am surprised that not one of the people crying here have taken any concrete action against Brabus, except to derail this thread.
Is it that they are Cowards, illiterate, ignorant, Criminals themselves (source of money and cant stand-up to scrutiny) or just mentally disturbed?

I know they will soon label me a "Brabus-supporter", as they usually do to anyone that does not follow their endless wailing and derailing of this thread but l am sure if they read my previous post on Brabus, they can/cant be honest enough to accept that l dont support bad behaviour by any builder.
Brabus has done wrong and it is either we leave in him to God's judgement or we prosecute him using the appropriate organs of Government but we cannot turn this thread to a hate thread. Its for learning about Construction.

Again, l find that some Builders (l can understand previous Clients) are simply jealous of that Chateau or whatever you call it and get really angry whenever it is mentioned but they like to hide behind some other user-id's or instigate others to do their dirty work.
One particular one only posts here whenever Brabus name is mentioned (and l am not referring to kolashangOne)

Instead of derailing this thread, l will suggest that those who have made it their life-duty to see that Brabus does not get another job (and he keeps getting jobs!) should contribute money among themselves and take giant Bill-boards and Front-page, Newspaper adverts, to tell their story, the same story they have been telling in the last three years and Clients are still not listening!


Enough of derailing this thread and no one should talk about Brabus Chateau again, l am tired of hearing about it (not that l dont appreciate a good build when l see one but it is making some people develop high blood pressure as we can all see).

Brabus, l know you have the right to answer a question when asked, l know you have a right to show the picture of your house (if it is easy to steal client money to build this Chateau, @itswell1 should try it and build a house like this ) but please, for the sake others, use other buildings as examples so that your house is not the cause of some other people going unclad in broad daylight.

With what some of your Clients feel, l can imagine how they feel seeing that your own house is not sinking or waterlogged while their own is although, some of them also share in the blame, for not listening to advice.

back to topic, construction and new building ideas

babalose:
@3strike.....you are giving a vague answer. If I knew I won't ask. He was arguing about the type of roofing sheet so I wanted to know about the wood used for the roofing.


Babalose

babalose:
@3strike. ....was there any complain about the quality of wood used for the initial roofing by brabus?



Babalose

msogunro:
Yesol oo... let it begin.

Is it possible to rent a water tank? If so, approximately how much does it usually go for?

n3xt:
Really? Why are you telling me this?

Despite the stringent condition I gave myself (builds within 20km radius only), I still have a lot to give thanks to God for.

1. Chateau in Silverpoint will be wearing crown next week (Client: Silent Nairalander)

2. New Ground to be broken at my Labora Fence site (you remember the 2 plots fence). Client: Nairalander

3. Ongoing developments approaching finishing stage. (Client: Super Active Nairalander)

The only reward of the prominent guys who took the bullet is when they see me make them proud Internationally. They'll definitely rise to be part of the success story.

Shockingly, nothing on earth stops a Brabus. Just watch me!

EgunMogaji:
That's .55 gauge?
