According to her, anything that makes her take in she's gonna keep the baby whether I like it or not, when she saw her period last time it was a huge sigh of relief from my part, now I've nutted more times in her than I care to count and I hope they were blanks because I honestly don't want to deal with it, tho if it happens that way I'll have to man up and take charge of things, I only hope she gets her period soon then I can start using protection whenever we have sex, whether she likes it or not.

Someone already suggested I'm n3xt's alternate because I'm not following the popular narrative. So far you've asked no questions that are directly applicable to me, but have evaded the ones I asked. Now the summary of all I've been trying to say is this: Has n3xt defrauded you? I don't know. There haven't been sufficient evidence presented so far to show this. He should pay up your money as soon as possible to clear all doubts. |

MMotimo: Look, if you’re going to attempt a defence of the indefensible, come correct! Like, put some effort into it no matter how dead on arrival. Apart from the sum owed, the thing most of us will never forget is the #2MM quote vs #1.4MM signed contract and your friend’s attempt to re define the terms of that contract after collecting money! Who does that? A so called seasoned builder with over 10 years experience attempting to tell us that what the #1.4MM covered is subject to wide interpretation because it could be marble or not bla, bla, bla! Classic utterances of a shady businessman and not a particularly sophisticated one at that.
You did not notice that part of the exchange with the QS? Abi that is the language of honest businessmen in your neck of the woods? Sign contract, collect 100% disbursement and then months later, start to define what the disbursement covers? Na so dem dey do business? From evidence presented, there are two contracts in this project. The one you are talking about here is the second contract and the QS was not involved in the bid. The exchange between next and the QS here was based on the fact that he didn't have the original BOQ, only the contract sum, and could not accurately tell what and what were left off in the project to be refunded. Next felt his work was undervalued. This is were the QS could have explained his figures but he went silent and was left off. Utterances like yours only prove that those providing cover for people like N3xt are not any more intelligent than the scammers themselves. Consider doing what his diehard supporters are doing - throw shade and move on , do not open your mouth to actually pen nonsense! Good morning ma'am. He says he only owes #1MM yet shingba e no get , a very common trait of people like him. If there’s any money in his account, it’s other people’s money, funds “in trust “ that he shouldn’t even touch. A decade of this enterprise with nothing to show for it save for his deteriorating Shagamu house with 10 year old photos he still shows in the new decade to deceive the unsuspecting . Even the business truck was a one hit wonder. Truck to which he dedicated several photo shoots no longer exists and was probably only leased temporarily. Kobo no dey pocket.
If crime paid he wouldn’t have crawled back to Nland after a 4 year absence to restart where he stopped! Hunger almost finished him while he was away from here. Do him a favour and help him pay back all monies owed. Don’t be like supporters of Oyinbogoju, Nairaland’s decorated child rapist who is serving 3 life sentences + 76 years in the US. Supporters that only make mouth and cannot put money down for their “innocent “ fraudulent buddies. As one gentleman already said, you supporters should put your money where your mouth is. Help him with cash too, it’s not by selective reading and comprehension or a display of gross ignorance or misinterpretation of civil and criminal law!
On a side note, for anyone who knew Oyinbogoju aka Adedoja Olaniyi who was once popular on Nairaland, his story is in the crime section. It reads like a novel and I daresay it’s interesting if you have the time. Yahoo boy deported from Japan to Nigeria for money laundering and sex crimes but still found his way to the US state of Georgia where he is currently locked up for life on a 12 count charge, including rape and sodomy of a 13 year old Black girl.
That thread highlights how easily my people swallow packaging even without the criminals trying very hard. It’s a real eye-opener. Spoiler alert **************
Oyinbogoju did it! He was duly prosecuted and convicted. While this is interesting, I would like to only respond to issues prevailing at the moment. |

somehow: Quote what N3xt posted here as his estimates that you think supercedes what I posted including that of the QS, let's see what actually looks like a real estimate. I think we all saw it here, I can't afford to go back to dig right now For example the estimate he quoted for roofing and which he seemed to have concluded with a supplier as shown from chat evidence presented here, the QS had his at almost twice the sum. Now I'm not in the market for building materials at the moment, and may not be conversant with prevailing prices, but those in the know could have chipped in, but they've been silent. While at it, tell us if this is why I am yet to get ₦1 or why he spent what I paid him to get materials which you and your likes have been avoiding. I'm not next and can't answer for him. I believe you saw where I told him saying he doesn't have your money now is not acceptable. You can as well answer the questions I asked the other person like yourself that has gone mute.
I know the game quite well. Oblivious of this. All you're typing here have been answered already, you're just using this to drag us backwards. Go and read from September 23rd and stop duplicating issues. If you had in the past provided answers to any of the questions I asked in our last exchange, perhaps I missed it. For instance I didn't see where you answered why tiling work upstairs were done much closer to when the contract was finally terminated, whereas project had been abandoned since May. If it has been answered already, then I will gladly rule that point out of order. I talked about too many gaps in timelines given by yourself and next. What was your exchange like in June? What were the excuses given? Were they justified? What happened in July? What were your WhatsApp chats like? August, and then September? Look, I called all these bygones, but it was necessary to clear doubts. Right now, n3xt should pay up your money as a matter of urgency. |

somehow: It's now the QS's fault?
And you actually mentioned "objectivity" in this same post of yours?
The QS made him disappear from site for months?
The QS made him divert the money meant for materials?
Typical! I can't speak for next. You both have been unable to properly come up with a concession on why the project was abandoned. For instance next cited that you did tiling of roof walls in September or so, something he wasn't contracted to do and was a prerequisite for installing roofing sheets. But when you came up initially to tell us project was abandoned since May 8, you didn't tell us these, and when he brought that to you here, you did not respond to it. Next's citations still did not add up to me though as there were too many gaps in dates unaccounted for. I can only judge from information willingly supplied by you both. The QS; I wonder if you had contracted with him initially to be fully involved as your project manager that you had to take recommendations from him to terminate the contract. The QS was the right person to play mediatory role here since you consulted with him first when the fall-out started, but... At this point you were already agitated. Then came review of contract sum versus work done and agreement on an amount to refund. Since QS was involved in the initial bid selection, he should have been in better position to bring to figures a near accurate amount that was due. But his quote which was clearly overbloated from evidence supplied here had to be reviewed a number of times. It makes me question his competencies or if this was a deliberate sabotage. He was asked to show proof here but ignored. These are bygones. What is important now is that you recover your money, and I hope your contractor comes up with it real quick. Afterthought: You say you are willing to take 2M from the 2.45M quoted by QS. Now I wouldn't know why you easily conceded 450k, but next showed estimates here on how he feels he is only due for a little over a million. I notice you haven't really contested this yet. Why? |

n3xt: Thanks Seun for the timely intervention. Do what leaders do. Please do all you can to refund the amount you agreed to as soon as possible. Saying you have no money now is not tenable. I've followed up with this issue closely, accessed objectively, and haven't found you guilty of fraud, YET. The 'yet' is subject to your commitment to refund somehow his money as soon as possible. There is a bandwagon effect on this thread. I've noticed the people brandishing the words 'fraud' and 'scam' about are the same old people, their loyalists, and those who can't think for themselves. This fall-out has been blown momentously out of proportion and you n3xt share a part in the blame for failing to nip the situation in the bud when you could. I won't fail to note my perception of what the QS' role is in all these. He has chosen mostly to play the silent card, a wise tactic when your decision is being called to question. To me, he created bad blood where there was none, and heightened fears where they should have been assuaged. P.S: I've seen all the threads created about brabus, read every one of them, and do acknowledge he has erred in the past. |

The children are not stupid they see all the effort of the parents. you don't drink away ur life and expect so much from me I hope you can differentiate a deadbeat father from one without economic means? I've seen many women mislead their children that their poor father was deadbeat when in fact he didn't have the means. If a woman is the one providing for the home, she most times rub it on everyone's face and diminish the worth of her partner in the eyes of her children. |
