Update:

When asked if he has confirmed the job has been completed, the client (Cribking1) said and I quote “I'm yet to confirm it.”
In his own word, he also said that @mountmoriah said “He was telling me the installers needed to stay for 2 additional nights that I should send 8K for hotel lodge.”

I tried to confirm this from mountmoriah and he told me that was a message sent before they started the installation. I guess the client must have read it at a later time.

I sent the pictures of the building and showing the job done to the client and he said “He never sent me all these.”
I replied The building is yours. You could have just check in to see the job since you’re there in Ibadan.

He promised to visit the site today and we patiently await his feedback.

No be pillars be these wey we dey see. Reason why it's good to see the complete pics before we conclude.

I would have loved to answer this and share my experience and journey into and out of the Christian faith. In fact I was going to share my former acct/moniker with you from when I was a completely devout Christian. When I was preaching and evangelising even here on NL.
Until I couldn't help but find the contradictions in the Bible which could not be explained away except if I wanted to blindly defend the Bible. How can God's word contradict itself? Then I met various factions of Christian doctrines with each one truly laying claim on God's word even when they were directly opposing each other.
There are the Hyper Grace Christians, there are the SU Christians and there are those in the neutral grounds. I started to question my theology.lol

But I had a rethink about sharing it cos it could affect the faith of some others. That a devout Christian can actually still fall away.

My intention has never been to jeopardise people's faith. I respect Faith. Be it religious faith, motivational speeches faith, self belief faith, etc.
I think faith is truly the most important thing. Which ithe Bible also confirms that it is our Faith that conquers the world.

I've met non-reloigous and religious people who excel in their fields by sheer faith either in themselves or their God respectively.

How can people put expensive roof on top of a building without reinforced columns....

Cribking1:
Good morning all,

I want to thank everyone who has helped in solving this issue. Special thanks to Kobocity for his swift response and professionalism . Mountmoriah has delivered the roofing materials and installers are currently installing them. I was very nervous because of my previous Fraud experience on this platform. Also, the gap of communication he created exacerbated the whole situation. Sure, there was sinister motive behind his silence but thank God I acted fast. My advice to anyone dealing with contractors on this platform or anywhere else is to be on your toes....

Ibibioson:
So sorry to hear your unfortunate situation. This is the same guy that used to go by hsl-broker here. He stole from me and thought he could hide from me. I made him vomit my money with interest and got him kicked off nairaland. He never learned from the past. I told him that i would make sure that he won't find another victim here again. He found another platform to defraud people. Ne3t, please do not promote this guy again.

n3xt:
Update: We just spoke again. He’s on Iwo road and ive asked him to share his location with me on Whatsapp to monitor/track their movement.
He said your goods will be delivered tonight and installation will commence early in the morning.

He told me he has issues with the truck that convey the roofing sheets and had to recover some funds back from them.

lovelani:
Really! Is this not same person that has been verified on the kobocity?

This life no balance o....
For me, whatever service you're rendering will be Pay on site & delivery. At least with that I'll keep my sanity intact.

@N3XT,

Thanks for handling the concrete works of my Sagamu project

Yes. I did read and witness the turmoil of 2014-2016 that has been alluded to here. But in his " An Essay on Criticism" Alexander Pope says: To err is human, to forgive is divine."

While someone was scared by non response for 24 hours , I was emboldened by no rebuttal after N3XT eventually came out.

Let's find a way of resolving issues amicably. Abi we go throw baby and dirty water?

Myer:
Some times i find it hard choosing words due to easy misconceptions and communication lacuna.

When I said theory, I meant what is written and studied in the Bible.
When I said practical, I meant how it is practised in our time.

I didn't say the early Christians in the Bible were perfect. But answer this simple question

The response to your question is simply, no I'm not operating on the same level. But by God's grace I'll get there .


. Are you operating in the same level of wisdom, love, power, faith (fearlessness) of the Holyspirit as the Peter or Paul? As Stephen or Philiip? As Apollo or Barnabas? Even as the ordinary brother Ananias through who God healed Paul's blindness?

The Bible speaks of spiritual gifts which was manifest and all could distinguish the Christians because of the Grace of God working in them and through them.

You've been "ministering" on NL for some time now , what testimony can you share concerning the lives you have touched either through spirit-led generosity or healed someone's infirmity?

Have you left your family behind to take up missionary work in another state or even country?

I double as a Sunday School Teacher/Instructor and House Fellowship leader.

Can you share any of your practical experiences that confirm your Christianity is in the likeness of that which was written and documented in the Bible? That was my question of this thread.

Myer:
If you followed this thread then you'll know it wasn't about theory in the Bible but the practical observation of the Christians.

As a spirit-filled Christian what is the difference between yoi and non Christians?

Cos if Christians were anything like the biblical theory then we won't be having the Nigeria we have today considering we probably have the highest number of Christians in 6he world.

Greenarrow01:
Where else do people get these kinds of freebie jnfor

Pls let's just overlook the effort of these people.
I am.not a contractor, but any one here who dishes out advice/opinion is doing good.
People come here with plans for scrutiny, boq and estimates for advice, etc. Maybe people have successfully built their house on this thread without paying a dime to any site manager, purely supervising their project from start to finish.
A lot of DIY projects equally got completed on here.
Let's appreciate everyone contributing to this thread abeg

Myer:
I guess the question becomes what is the difference between those with the outpouring of the Holyspirit and those without?

Greenarrow01:
Asin

And that reputation will go on for as long as possible.
Some people will have a lil bit of misunderstanding, they will term you a scammer
And when you ask them for proof. There won't be a concrete proof.
Imagine working for years and all these to be undone with a single transaction.

KNOWMORE56:
"I'm certain God revealed it to certain persons but not those popularly known so that when you hear it you will not want to believe."

I strongly believe the above

Greenarrow01:
something is happening on this thread that if care is not taken, will lead to something nasty later in future. This same thing happened on the agric thread sometime ago, the guys name was emmachile. Emmachile was like the most resourceful person on the whole agric section, he mentored and helped a whole lots of agric enthusiasts on that section, one day someone came up with a fraud claim, and emmachile was tagged to be a scammer. His named was soiled and man deleted his username and left nairaland. Thousands of pages of information on poultry farming was immediately deleted. After everything, emmachile was vindicated,he was not a scammer and it was just a stupid mistake from the accuser. But all those pages were gone. I have searched and search on his organic poultry with no success.
Same thing is happening to nxt and some other guys here. If someone scammed you, bring proofs and and give detailed explanation on how it happened here for everybody to see and judge, don't just be behind your phone and be labeling people both directly and indirectly as scammers. These might just be minor misunderstanding that can be corrected. no one on here will deny the fact that next had hhelped answered loads of questions on this thread. If you are cheated bring proofs. Spoiling peoples business is not it.
Some people are even claiming he has two or 3 monikers. Funny thing is that he has never denied owing all monikers.
Some are claiming he hijacked kobocity to himself, pls where are the other administrators of this project
Some are saying he is showcasing old works bla bla bla, are they not his work ?
.I am not saying he is not a scammer or he is a scammer, I am saying people should bring proofs.
Labeling people is bad if you can't provide proofs. It scares away potential customers. Even if the accused person is vindicated.
Man is still on the forum
Posting daily, still people are accusing him.

I come in peace.
I am not holding brief for anyone
I just want us to learn from what happened on agric section
Don't mind the typo pls[/b]

Anyone expecting them to willingly zone it to the South is a joker because the the Northern polithiefcians are a bunch of desperate power drunk folks, even more desperate now more than ever to protect the Fulani oligarchy because they know a president from the South may alter their plans

Sanchez01:
With the level of confusion and chaos all over the world at this time, same-sex attraction is the problem of Biden and the United States. Worse is the fact that Nigeria has been reduced to nothing but a nation dependent on others. How are we going to beg for vaccines and ventilators on social media should the US government sanction us?

On a more serious note, the sanction will force Nigeria to review its gay laws and change them almost immediately. We are not in any way equipped to manage the effect of sanctions from developed nations.

Myer:
How exactly do you think I read the Bible?

I've completed the Bible once or twice, the Synoptic gospels even more times

Its not how many times one reads the Scripture that matters but what the individual gains from reading it. How is your understanding after each reading? The Scripture is not necessarily for cramming and quoting.


You will only see the inconsistencies in the Bible if you ever study it from a non-religious perspective
Those who find inconsistencies in the Scripture are seeing it because they made their minds to see it. The Scripture is not a literature book and everything written is not exactly for literal purposes.



Anything done in the name of religion is done blindly [/b]and absent sense because you're not allowed to question the so called word of God no matter how ludicrous it is, across religions. Muslims and Jews likewise believe their divine books are perfect just like [b]Christians do and cannot be questioned

Well to those who play religion it may be done blindly.
It is written .... Isaiah 1:18: Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord..........(is this not like a question and response session).

Ask God a question that will bring you edification or add value to your existing.
Do you know of any teacher/lecturer that responds to stupid questions asked by pupils/students in school?




Just as a Christian can easily pick the errors in the Quran, that's exactly how the Bible's inaccuracies and inconsistencies abound.

Myer:
Ok, you didn't mention that it was a personal experience.
If truly it was revealed to him, then that is a good thing. That's how it's meant to be according the the Bible.

As in response to your last paragraph, I believe the challenge lies in some portions of the gospel through Paul. Some believe once confession is made and they're converted, God doesn't necessary require any acts of righteousness. In fact any attempt at righteousness by works is subject to returning to the curses of the law.

Yet like I always say, if Christians will only live and act like Christians just for 4 years, the world would definitely be a better place.

The missionaries took their Christianity seriously and even Nigeria benefitted from it.
Unfortunately, the lust of the world, lust of the eyes and pride of life continue to make Christianity no different from any other religion.

Myer:
Meaning it was not revealed to you.
Lets not mistake revelation for predictions.

There are several conspiracy theories that have shared better predictions on Covid -19. Even some pastors like Oyakhilome are teaching such conspiracies.

I asked if God revealed it to you. I asked because it is a major phenomenon that shook the whole world. Yet it wasn't revealed to God's special children? Some of whom have now met their untimely death in the hands of Covid?

The bible tells us in so many instances whenever such plagues would happen, God reveals it to his prophets/friends and even gives them the chance to plead on behalf of the people in order to avert it.

I'm just wondering why this isn't the case in a generation that boasts of walking in the prophetic, dining with Jesus, etc.

MaxInDHouse:
That language is uncommon my brother!

Myer:
Was it revealed to you?

Myer:
But the problem is God doesn't even speak to Christians too.
At least if God speaks to you, you can be different from others but take the Covid19 pandemic for example, no one knew about it talkless of what to do. Even Pastors where caught unawares talkless of ordinary christian members.

Guess we have very few Christians in our generation. I wonder why.

Can you shed more light on what it means to be Christ-like?

bingbagbo:
So I was in a tete a tete with this Jehovah witness guy.

Let me state that , JWs teach that Our Lord Jesus Christ is an angel. They claim Jesus is angel Michael. To them, Jesus is not God as the Bible teaches (John 1:1) but rather a god.

So in the course of our interactions, he stated:

Jesus Christ is Now a High Priest in Heaven, just like in the past, Humans (Priests) mediated between man and God so is Jesus doing now in heaven. I loved his explanation because what he stated was very much correct.

Then I asked him: " You say Jesus is a high priest, just like the priests of old, but I know that , the priests of old offered animal sacrifices to God; so in Jesus' case, which animal is He offering to God in Heaven?"

(He couldnt discern where I was leading him to )

Then he quickly replied: "the animal sacrifice Jesus offers in heaven to God now is He Jesus Himself."

Then I burst out laughing

I laughed because he was right yet again.

Then I asked him: "So Jesus is both the High Priest and the Lamb (sacrifice) as well ?"

Then he replied: "Yes!"

Then I told him: "You are so right. This same Jesus is the High Priest, and the lamb and that same God who received the sacrifice."

He took offence.

According to him, that would not make sense. So I asked him if a high priest doubling as the sacrifice made sense to him

That ended out chat

Jesus Christ is the High Priest, the Lamb and God

The message of the cross is foolishness onto those who are perishing, but onto us who are being saved it is the power of God

Glory

Myer:
The whole idea of Christianity is all about how Christians are to be identifiable by the grace of God upon them, their relationship with the Holyspirit and living in victory over enemies and challenges through faith in Christ.

I have been a Christian but this was not my reality. Which made me question the bible.

Recently a christian pastor murdered his own wife just like an unbeliever could. Which makes me question, is there even any difference between a Christian and others?

MaxInDHouse:
The woman represents all the 144,000 born again Christians to become corulers with Jesus Christ in heaven. The crown you see on her head represents the twelve Apostles of Jesus who were the first and foundation stones of God's earthly organization {Revelations 21:14} after Jesus' assenssion to heaven God poured out his Holy Spirit and began selecting those that will become born again corulers with his son in heaven. None of all God's servants before then had the privilege of learning from Jesus how to be a partaker in that government {Matthew 20:20-28} so Jesus declared that all those born of women till John the Baptist can't partake in his heavenly government {Matthew 11:11-12} they're going to inherit what God has promised in the beginning everlasting life on earth! Matthew 5:5; Psalms 37:29; Isaiah 65:21-23

Her child will cause a big issue but i'll say it anyway for the benefit of all those who truly want to know.
The child was born in the year 1914 when Jesus was crowned to begin ruling in heaven, in that year he drove Satan and his demons out of heaven and all these powerful spirits headed to the earth. You will notice that ever since the earth has been existing the greatest achievement in technology began right from that time, those demons possessed so many people and imparted the knowledge to invent many wonderful things speedily, they also possessed religious leaders of all kinds to perform great miraculous works {Matthew 24:4-6} they also possessed politicians and that's where our problem skyrocketed because these are rebellious angels whoever they possess will never be humbled or agree to humble themselves so most politicians wants to pitch their tent as powerful rulers and this led to the first WORLD WAR {Matthew 24:7-8} but since true followers of Christ must not take side in the political affairs of the world {John 17:16, 18:36} politicians in one place after another will start to persecute true Christians globally that was the year Jesus took away all the born again Christians who were sleeping in death {Revelations 12:14 compare to 1Thessalonians 4:16} this is what most Churchgoers are still expecting as RAPTURE but it has happened in the year 1914, the rest of the Born again Christians have been taken to heaven immediately they breath their last here on earth but Satan kept instigating the world against them! Revelations 12:17

So the child born to the woman is God's earthly part of his Organization known today as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Organization!

May you have PEACE!

zuraking:
that's the advice I can give cos putting him in cell as a punishment for delaying his pick up date is ILLEGAL. A big man with a lawyer won't sleep a police cell for 24 hours even if he owes someone 200m in business dispute

We big men use that to punish poor people after tipping stupidd policemen we have in Nigeria. How will you lock someone up throughout the weekend as punishment? It's bad even tho the furniture man fumbles.

zuraking:
that's the power we BIG MEN and WOMEN use in Nigeria. Locking him up throughout the weekend is ILLEGAL. [b]He should just forgive and forget [/b]even tho we knew the man fumbled.
