Sir, Let me be very 'brief' with you:

1. I dont call someone a thief, if they have not stolen from me or they have not been convicted of stealing in a court of law. I just dont call people a thief simply because others said so. I was hoping his current trial will out doubts (positive or negative to rest) but until then, l will give him the benefit of doubt. I just dont roll with the crowd.

2.) I am matured enough to know that when two people go into a business transaction (like build me a house and l would pay you x-amount), if there are disagreements, of whatever kind, the best place to resolve it is either between themselves or in court.............. not in a mob-style, lynch-him, on Social Media.
You can see the example of the man who took him to a Law Court, and l applaud that move so much. Let the Courts decide. Most Nigerians are too emotional, instead of being practical.

3.) That l do not join you or others to condemn someone does not mean l am "defending him", .........it simply means "l am being my own man, using my own brain and making my own decisions as to how to treat the person". You will at least agree with me that l reserve that right?

4.) I do not subscribe to the "undue pressure" people mount on others here, just to 'go with the flow' and do as others are doing! I think everyone should be able to make up their minds as to how they want to relate with anyone here. I have seen a 'grown-up man" capitulate under pressure, just to satisfy those who think they make the rules around here! That is very annoying to me and no amount of pressure will change my position. The only thing that can change my views is hard evidence and conviction at the appropriate Courts,.... not Mob Justice!
I will treat Brabus the same way l would treat anyone here (with respect, friendliness and fairness), until they dupe me or are convicted of duping someone else, by an competent authority.

5.) Finally, When l registered on Nairaland, nobody knew. I did not register with someone in mind. I did not register to make friends or enemies. I did not even have to register with my real name (just like all of you!). So, l have no personal connection to ANYONE on Nairaland, past what we do here anonymously.
The issue of RESPECT and REPUTATION is infantile for an anonymous moniker (no matter how anyone feels about the monicker @Lastpage! ). It is only important to those who want to 'make a life' out of Nairaland, build their personality on Nairaland affiliates and obtain their respect from nairaland!
All those things dont apply to me! I have a 'real life, real respect, real life reputation that would be the envy of many!
If my anonymous moniker has "reputation and respect" (as some people say! not me!!), how much more my real life personality? Think about it for a second.

I have said it times without number that l should be "viewed" like that Mallam that opens the gate in your street or polish your shoe (shoe-maker)
I dont want anyone calling me Oga/Sir/Daddy or respecting me beyond the usual "courtesy" of a complete stranger!

I dont know anyone here (in real life), not even Brabus! So, why should l forgo my principles, just to please strangers, on things l dont believe in?

The bottom line is this: Dont l have the right to believe that EVERYONE/ANYONE is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?
Has anyone offered me irrefutable PROOF of Brabus guilt?
Even the Courts, Lawyers, Judges and other members of "advanced society" do believe in that

For example, some said he used his Bus to steal building materials, yet NO EVIDENCE of him doing so is offered? Am l so dunce as to swallow such?
Even myself has been alleged to "share" in money paid to Brabus, l have been called a fraud, have been called Brabus, Commonsense101, e.t.c ...without a single PROOF being offered yet most folks here "swallowed it"!
Is it not someone who came here recently after the Dec 15 court appearance, to say "Brabus is in jail, l saw it with my own eyes"!
Has that not turned out to be a lie?

If most of his accusers can defame me, lie against me (and l know, just as they know they are lying), why should l believe them, about Brabus, if they dont offer me irrefutable proof?

Just think about it for a minute.

I think people who want to make/keep enmity with Brabus are FREE to do so! Its their right.
But do they have the right to tell me to "Do as they are doing"?

The right to self-determination is fundamental and people should grow-up and learn to respect the right of others to think independently.
I am writing all these out of courtesy as l dont have to defend my position to anyone but just so people can understand my "point of view" (not saying they should "accept" my point of view, .....which is their prerogative!)

I am not supporting Brabus, l am not defending him and at the same time, he is not my enemy and l have NOTHING against him so, l will as before continue to interact with him, as l do with others here.
Whomsoever does not like that can keep away from me (as in ignore my mentions).
That is your right and we dont have to fight over that or derail the thread over that.

Kappish?

BTW: I think l am the only one here who constantly admonishes him to be of better behaviour, to be honest and be humble, for his name and his children, many, many times! Show me a single post where anyone has done that. Is that a bad thing to do?

Thank you! Appreciate!!


The vermins are already crawling out of the woodwork, with various monikers we have never seen here before!

Let's keep the thread alive and peaceful before they derail it for another ten pages!



Lastpage!

BTW: People should stop "crediting themselves with stewpidity"!
If by now anyone claims NOT TO have read all these negative stories about Brabus and still goes ahead to transact business with him behind our backs, without doing DUE DILIGENCE, only to come here and whine, thunder fire that person!
I can understand for the previous people but henceforth, l dont want to hear Brabus-this, Brabus-that!
There are at least five other Builders on this thread alone, why must you all still be looking for Brabus, abi na by force?
Something fishy must be going-on.

bfire:
Are you promoting this unrepentant thief or you are acting as
a friend who sees nothing wrong in all of the evil this guy has
perpetuated

Your constant acknowledgement of him suggest that you have
a bond to defend him irrespective of what others feel.

This attitude of yours will impart negatively on your reputation.

See how fastshipping deliberately distanced himself; that's what
you need

This is my own opinion and advise.

@ lastpage, I'll go with option 2 above. Trial starts Feb 6, 2017

In Nigeria, you must cook up a story for your case to hold water.

First, it was SARS vs Brabus. When nothing happened, they petitioned AIG that I bribed officers.

Second, when AIG couldn't get a resolve, the police throw the case to court.

So you're believing stories of those who does not even know the name of the magistrate or the date of the trial. Abeg!

Thank you for your fatherly and brotherly advice and support. I remain strong!

I'm outta here for the Christmas. I don't want this to derail a peaceful thread. I just need to say my Christmas greetings to you all.

Peace!
