Your comments are despicable, The owner has been called out here by a famous and upright nlanders to come and explain his own side and even before this when the Builders gave an insight on what was going on fellow nlanders responded. You that was defrauded and you were not bold enuf to call a spade a spade! You come here calling people girly, naa you girly pass because at your advanced age you are not straight forward and cannot speak boldly or maybe naa you even defraud the builder!!! And to think you are based in the diaspora where things like this are not hidden shows you yourself get K-LEG in characters. Iranu abasha
Who gives a damn what you think or did I tell you I'm in pain that I lost money? Why don't you mind your damn business instead of mouthing off and displaying foolishness? Was my post directed to you or lastpage? My post was never to report what happened to anyone. Who made the rule that I MUST report any infraction at my site to the people of nairaland? Some of you need life out of nairaland property section. If you have work or something tangible to do with your life, you wouldn't be worried about what happened at my site for the past 3-4 days that you have continued to wail. Damn it! You need to get a life and get busy with something tangible. I refuse to grant you permission to cry more than the bereaved.

In my post to lastpage, I was only showing what humility can do or would have done to brabus. In my own case the guy was remorseful and that prevented me from humiliating him in the public. Do I have the right to talk about it despite his apology? The answer is yes. If the guy wasn't apologetic enough, I would have shown him to the public in full. I dealt with my case the way I see fit without any contribution from a ragtag internet warrior like you. This is the way I prefer to deal with what happened and not the way you want me to deal with it. My post was not directed to anyone except lastpage. Some of you that never even bought cement in your life coming here to say rubbish. As a matter of fact, I brought up the issue last year. It wasn't even new and some of your fellow internet warrior and chestbeaters are now acting like they just heard about it.

If you don't like the way I dealt with it, go ahead and kill yourself.

Again, you are a very foolish boy and need to get a life away from nairaland instead of looking for "fraudster" to take out your frustration on.


N.B

Normally, I don't derail or throw insults but you deserve everything I said here. Sorry to anyone offended by my response to this kid.

I hate cheating and deceit. Just imagine if these engineers were the ones who didn't fulfill their part of the contractual agreement. The thread would have been 40 pages by now with so much venom pouring on them.

Now that the owners/supervisors are no where to be found and obviously are the ones defrauding these young guys, the character assassination machines/chestbeaters/girly men/cranky men/property section warriors aren't doing what they know how to do best. grin

Imagine owners of properties defrauding the people who work for them. SMH!

As it is your conscience is an open wound, only the truth can heal it.

My take is either the story is grossly embellished or

You genuinely fear for the safety of your family.

You shouldn't have gone public at all with the half story. You've polluted the business air for the few trustworthy and REAL builders because ALL are now to be taken with a pinch of salt.

So if you are a builder and this is not you, come out now and clear your name to safe guard your business..............

Pandora Ko, bees shack ni. You all should do your due diligence before engaging anyone to build your house. I let few people close to me know what happened and they were my witnesses to this.

One thing I won't do is to get into childish unending character assassination that goes on here or destroy someone's livelihood. This life is good and the bad. You take each one as they come.

When Brabus saga came up few times, I voiced my opinions and displeasure and moved on. One thing I won't do is to come here on daily basis and act like a girl who got jilted. I feel for Qc1 and others who lost hard earned money. It is painful to go through what they went through after losing millions. So who am I to lose approximately 500k when oga Qc1 lost millions.

For those who want me to mention name, sorry I won't. I have dealt with the issue privately and advised the so called engineer. He promised not to disappoint anyone in the future. If he likes, he yields to my advice or do the opposite.

I cannot believe that Fastshipping posted what he just posted on the quack engineer and refused to give the name and yet we complain everyday that the country is bad.[b] Is fastshipping a 'winch' to know the Nairalanders that contact this guy?. [/b]I do not even buy that yarn that the quack is spinning that it is because he wants to feed his family. How was he feeding his family prior to now?. Very soon, the quack will take up building project for a Nairalander and mess it up. Imagine what we are seeing with QC1 build. Can the quack do any other job?. Fastshipping is culpable in the fraud that the guy is currently doing since he has refused to name and shame the guy.
On few occasion I saw nairalanders contacted him for work and I made contacts to warn them.

@FastShipping

Appreciate your write-up and thanks for this.

One question I have and please indulge me.

Do you think not exposing this quack engineer is a good or bad thing In your opinion?

If the same thing happened to someone else and kept it quiet and let you experience the same with you, how would you feel knowing this informaiton may have helped you avoid such losses?

How does keeping his identity a secert help other prospective clients?

If he was a veyr good builder that made a mistake then I can understand but you have fully agreed that he is a quack engineer and still operating on NL so how does keeping his identity a seceret help others?

Just a few questions to understand your line of thought on this.

Again, sorry for your bad experience and glad you have moved past this.
Each time someone contacted him so far for work, I have made contact with the person to share what I went through with the quack. I don't believe in character assassination that has become rampant here.

Let it roll Brus!

No one is perfect, the important thing is to accept your mistakes, Repent, seek forgiveness and make recompense..... all these l think he is currently doing or trying to do .

It takes a bold person to not study building in College/Uni/Poly, to start building for others!
Its a challenge and l can tell you, MISTAKES (which l agree are costly to the home owner) WILL BE MADE....LESSONS WILL BE LEARNED AND IMPROVEMENT (if you are a naturally intelligent person), ....will follow.
I insist Brabus is learning, getting better, he just needs to clam down and not be overly ambitious or trying to run, before you are perfect at walking. Step-by-step....gives long-life!

The only thing l hate most about Brabus is his need to always think "I need to defend myself,... at all times"! Too self-conscious!!
It is not always necessary. Infact, "you can disarm your worst enemy with uncommon humility".

Just accept the complain/fault...then follow it with "Oga, how can l rectify it to your satisfaction"? (It does not mean the Client will insist you foot the whole bill or even some of it, most Clients are 'super-generous' when it comes to correcting errors in their build because they want it "perfect and done now".).. and it does not mean you are stewpid!

My Dad use to use one phrase: "He STOOPED to (so that he can) CONQUER"! yes, at times, you need to "stoop", so you can conquer challenges that come your way.

My Mum also has these 'annoying' phrase she uses: E'je kape werey l'oko iyawo, kole je ka'mi! grin
(Let us call a madman "Happily married man", so he can let us have peace"!)

In those two phrases you will see a lot of humility, intelligence and success!

Now, as for us the "concerned parties" we are right to be miffed but we should also note that we cannot cry more than the bereaved!
If we make excessive wahala today, and then we see the Client and Brabus even come together and abuse us later (Wetin be your own or wetin concern you sef, no be my money, uhh?).... how would that feel?

Does anyone notice that @Hajj M has not gone "all out" to attack Brabus?
WHY? Or do you think he is not also annoyed? It is called maturity!
Knowing when to take a step back and let it lie. undecided undecided

Moreover, in life, their is something called KARMA! We will all reap whatever we sow.... except we "seek and get" the forgiveness of anyone we aggrieve.
Its a fact of nature, whether you believe it or not.

So, let us please stop making too much allusion to what happened... except where the aggrieved Client has reason to "raise-up" the issue due to new errors or non adherence to agreed templates. let us also try (l said 'try' because its not always easy undecided ) to dessist from inflammatory language.
Infact, l have decided that l will stop responding to provocations from people on this thread (I reserve that for Politics section grin )
I will just ignore it and act like l never even saw it. It wont tear my cloth naah, abi? undecided

Let Peace reign!

God bless you for this write-up. Brabus needs to exercise humility. He doesn't know when to shut-up or when to profusely apologize.

Let me tell you a story here. Hajj aware of this and I believe I showed what transpired to Skimanski and few others on blackberry.

Last year I gave my house roofing work to a nairalander. A quack for that matter who claimed to me he was an engineer. He gave me a quote and I paid him in full. I always pay in full upfront. He was supposed to start the work on a Monday but to my surprise he didn't start the work for more than two weeks from the day he was supposed to start. Then the next thing I saw was for the guy to start buying new clothing and displaying his pictures on nairaland. Designer shoes, shirts, trousers and watches. I said to myself wft! I called him several times and his phone was transferring me to different phone. When I eventually spoke to him, he told me he was working on a project at Ajah. I said but you were to start this work since last week.

He eventually bought wood and brought his workers to site after about two weeks. Three days into the work, he sent me a text that the house was bigger than he thought that he needed to make a new quote because they needed more materials. I said this has to be a joke. He sent a new quote and I sent him payment. Hajj was aware. Nothing I do that I don't let Hajj know in regard to my house.


Three weeks into the job, I sent my mum and brother to the site and there was rancor going on there. People who supplied things to the site coming there to curse at my site because my roofer owed them thousands of naira. He owes his carpenters money for over a week and hasn't been showing up. Carpenters were coming to the site but not working because he owed them one week pay. I didn't know that each day I call that he picked up he wasn't at the site. He always said he was eating close by or buying something in the neighborhood. After a month on the roof carcass, he called me that my cousin at the site has been tormenting him. I said how has he been tormenting you. He said the quote he gave me second time was at the insistence of my cousin. He said my cousin said I don't ask questions that I just agree with any quote people give me as long as the work is done right. I said wow. So I told the nairalander that you are a criminal. You agreed to lie to me that the quote was not good enough and I agreed to pay you extra. I said why are you telling me this now? He said the work at the site is a big problem for him that I should call my cousin to return the money he gave to my cousin so he can use the money to buy more nails and wood because materials turned out to be insufficient. At this point I was on the verge on sending him 1.8M Naira for Metcoppo Aluminum sheet quote he gave me to cover the carcass. I quickly told my brother not to transfer the money to him. I quickly called Hajj and called the nairalander quack "engineer" on three way call. To my surprise the guy was defiant on the phone. I couldn't believe it. He was talking as if he was doing me a favor to let me know what was going on at the site.

When I discovered he couldn't be trusted, I contacted Tower and First Aluminum. I woke up 6am U.S time and called those companies. They asked I send them emails. Tower and First Aluminum went to my site and met this nairalander and my cousin. To my surprise, they told those Tower guys to over quote for the roof coverings and give them their shares. The Tower guys said that's not going to happen. When Tower and First Aluminum guys got back to me, they told me the entire roof needed to be torn down because the carcass was not done right. I called the so called nairalander who claimed to be an engineer and told him what those guys had just told me. The next thing the quack engineer from nairaland did was to engage into fight and insult of the First Aluminum guys who were at the site. He told them they wanted to destroy his life. My brother and mother were present to see everything. I called the nairalander quack "engineer" to leave the site immediately. Not only did he commit fraud, he also asked me to do some things that were not needed to be done there that the whole carcass and other mistakes he made on reconstruction of my house cost me in the region of extra 480K+ because we had to tear down everything and start from scratch again. I was sending him pictures of house as the entire 579 square meter roof was torn down. As the carcass was going on, he called me gables needed to be done at the back and I told him no. My cousin called me and said gable was needed. I sent them 225K for gables and it tuned out the gable wasn't needed because the First Aluminum guys dismantled it during the tear down of roof carcass.

My point is, the nairalander accepted his was quack. He confessed to me he was only looking to feed his family. He has been a nairalnder since 2008 or so. As a matter of fact he begged me not to go public because his source of living would be dashed because it is on nairaland that he eats. In fact his wife is on nairaland too. He told me a whole bunch of things that I just pitied him and never opened a thread about him on nairaland. The guy never stopped begging me for more than two months. He kept apologizing.

Hajj is a witness. I believe I showed it to Skimanski too on BBM and segzy14 was there too. The guy never stopped texting me to apologize. He is still here on nairaland parading himself as an engineer and builder. I just shake my head when he comes on threads accusing others of incompetence.

It seems you are rooting for Hillary? The same Hillary that was part of the Shenanigans that went down in Libya and a strong supporter of US current policy in Syria. In as much as Trump sounds unhinged, I would prefer someone that would not meddle in the affairs of other countries or at least if need be let it be in the interest of the poor masses of the country in question not in the interest of the US corporations that paid for their election campaigns

You must have forgotten what Ghadaffi was doing to the people of Benghazi before the U.S and French took out Ghadaffi. Ghadaffi was slaughtering his people in hundreds per day before he was dealt with. He deserved to be removed. You have to be delusional to think Trump won't start blown out war within a year in office. If Trump becomes president, be rest assured the U.S military won't be sitting at home. Expect the military to be at 2-3 wars within two years. Don't forget Trump has promised to invade Syria and take their oilfield.

Why should I support Trump who said he was willing to use nuclear weapon in Europe? Why should I support someone who demeans women and mock an handicapped journalist? He has no respect for women or regards for truth. Why should I vote for someone who sees my children as second class citizens because their father wasn't white? Is this not same Trump who questions integrity of federal judge because his parents were born in Mexico. The same Trump who called a woman "dog". The guy has bad temperament and thin skin. I cannot trust someone like Trump with nuclear weapon. Trump responds to every insult thrown at him. The man is petty, childish and insane to lead a free world. This is the same Trump to pull out of NATO. He doesn't even know the reason why NATO was put together. The same Trump who went around the U.S for two years screaming Obama was born in Kenya.

The list is endless.
