EgunMogaji:Haahaaahaaa! Shey l nor tell you? This "Egun" nor be Masquerade wey fall from heaven! ![]() Na humanbeing dey hide under that cloth-garb! ![]() Lastpage! Okay, enough is enough. Lets make progress! Can we start making suggestions on how to save this building? We never know where the brilliant idea/inspiration might come from. Question: What will you do to SAVE this house (at the current state), if it were yours
|
brag3:Absolutely 'NO' ! Reason l said "No" is that "I" dont want Brabus to keep trying to defend himself on this matter again. In doing so, the Clients get offended even more but at the same time, I understand his need to "CLARIFY" certain things that he feels are "not ACCURATE" in the narration. [size=14pt]It seems to me, it is we "Aprokos" that are stoking the fire, goading Brabus into "self defence" only to turn around and accuse him of gloating![/size] "The heart of Man is exceedingly wicked, honestly". ![]() Lastpage! BTW: I am not inferring in anyway, whether it was Brabus that did that German floor or not (I was not there). I only said there is no Iron on that "flooring", ....German or French! That much seems obvious. I hope Brabus will not fall for the BAIT again... and again! ![]() |
3strikes:No wahala, I nor vex! I am just setting the records, staright, like my blooder Onuokwu! ![]() Lastpage! |
Alki:Abeg, No call am now o! He wont pick your call because he is NOT SMILING at the moment! ![]() Lastpage! |
publicenemy:You are right on the ball! First, let me state it clearly that this Brexit VOTE was a PROTEST VOTE. The protest was against IMMIGRATION, nothing more. Frankly speaking, "White People" all over the World are getting intolerant and border-line racist when it comes to Africans and Muslims. They will do ANYTHING, including cutting-off their own nose, just to ensure "Africans" or anything that looked like Africans are kept away. So, all you need to do is to say: I want to take our country back (from the immigrants, mostly Africans).... and you would win any vote in white man's land. Having said that, we must remember that it was David Cameron, who for selfish reasons, RAISE, STOKED and PROMISED the people a Referendum on their E.U membership. Cameron made them believe that being a member of the E.U was bad. He did it to curry Votes.... and he got re-elected. Now, when it was time to "fulfil his Vote Promise", the same David Cameron was campaigning for U.K to STAY in the E.U!.... because He knew it was a bad thing to leave. Every time l listen to Cameron, l always shake my head... the guy is a "Snake Oil" salesman. Now, Scotland says, "we did not vote "remain", so as to be outside the E.U"........ We need another Referendum! The E.U is even poised to make it worse for the U.K, so as not to encourage such reckless decision in the future. They just said "there would be NO NEGOTIATION and want U.K to get-out IMMEDIATELY! Even the U.K is NOT INVITED to their next meeting on Tuesday! ![]() Lesson: Be careful about leaders who offer you "All or Nothing"..... they are dangerous, untrustworthy people. The rate at which the GBP Pounds is falling, e be like say Naira go strong pass am within a few days o! ![]() ***make l quickly go change all my Pounds to Naira"**** Lastpage! |
danowena:Obviously, there is no iron rod, not even a Wire-Mesh.... in that "German" Floor! The next obvious question is: Was it Brabus did this German floor? That would be very sad, to say the least. ![]() Lastpage! |
Onuokwu:[size=18pt]Ch-ai !! O-n-u-o-k-w-u my Bloo-oder! [/size] ![]() Sharp Man! ![]() Lastpage! |
3strikes:Can you please quote ANYWHERE, that l claimed to be a Geotechnical Engineer? I dont take kindly to "impersonation" please. abdulwastecx:@Abdulwastecx: I would also suggest that you specify the TYPE of TEST (CPT, SPT, e.t.c) the Professional (you are recommending) will undertake (in writing) and further ensure that it is what is being given out in the Report. To recommend people nowadays, one has to be very specific and also follow-up .... so that a hard-earned "good reputation like yours, .....is not tainted! I dont want someone to start asking you to refund "Soil test" Money....because you are the one who linked the Client to the Test Contractor! ![]() Even if (when) you did it "in good faith"! Sorry, l dont have someone to recommend! ![]() Lastpage! |
mavverick:Handshake my azz! Not a FAT CHANCE! We all know that, he knows that. But you will agree with me, planning MURDER is on a different level. There are other "lawful ways" to thrash out a contractual misadventure. Lastpage! |
I am going to say this on a GENERAL LEVEL..... as someone who works within the "Security Apparatchik" and a Lawful Citizen. I am also my Brother's Keeper so l owe it a duty to "express worry" .....when l see something going wrong. 1.) In this internet Age, what we say/WRITE ONLINE is different and even worse than what we SAY with our MOUTH (which can be denied, if not "On Record" ![]() 2.) We SAY things that we dont MEAN..... but even MEAN (do) what we dont SAY! Either way, "Words are like Broken Eggs"! IRRECOVERABLE 3.) Not even a few people have gone to JAIL, just for saying something ONLINE.... even when they later claimed they said it as a JOKE! Direct, Indirect and Concealed "ACTIVE" THREAT TO LIFE is a serious matter! I said "Active" because its one thing say "I will Kill you"! Its another level when you OPENLY SOLICIT for a MEANS to carry it out! People in Diaspora should know this even better! 4.) JUSTIFIABLE INTENTION at times, may lead to UNJUSTIFIABLE ACTIONS. The former "is NOT" a VALID excuse for the latter. (I always say: Never ACT, when you are ANGRY! The results is not always the best.) 5.) There is a Yoruba proverb (which l will just render in English, so we can all appreciate it) that says " The WITCH BRAGGED yesterday... and the CHILD DIED today, who would think twice before concluding that "it was the Witch that killed the Child"? 6.) God forbid if anything happens and the "Child actually gets killed"...... l tell you, running abroad is not even an option, everyone here (with the right tools and personnel) can be traced.... if the need arises! I pray we dont use our own mouth (fingers) to put ourselves in an "Had l known" situation! 7.) It only takes "MOTIVE" .... and the "WEAPON" to establish GUILT, in a MURDER case!..... right now, l am seeing one, and an "active intention" to "acquire" the second 8.) Those who encourage MURDER (whether seriously or jokingly) should know that "ACCESSORY to MURDER" is a serious Felony that carries a hefty Jail term. [/b] [b]RIGHTEOUS Anger can lead to UNRIGHTEOUS Consequences. ALWAYS be in CONTROL of your Emotions, ....no matter how angry you are and how justified your Anger is! 9.) "COINCIDENCE" is when[b] ACTION meets WORDS[/b] .... even when both are supposed to be unrelated. May we never be the Victim of a "Bad-Coincidence"! Those who "urged you-on", will not be there to "back-you-Up", when shyte-hits-the-Fan. Ask FFK and Olisah Metuh, if still in doubt 10.) Dont SAY what you DONT MEAN!.... its even worse when you put it into writing ....especially on the INTERNET! ![]() Time to seat back and C-CAUTION! As for me, l SEE no Evil, HEAR No Evil and SPEAK No Evil Lastpage! Somehow, Brabus just took a "Life Insurance Policy" ..... without paying a dime! ![]()

joeprince23: Shut-Up joor! "Militant" is a generic word for anyone who is fighting a cause, using violence! Where in the post did they say the Criminals are ND Militant? Fulani Militant? Boko Haram Militant or any other terror Group? BTW: S.West has its own Crude Oil Reserves (Lagos, Ogun, Ondo), Bitumen Reserves (Ondo) e.t.c that are currently being mined, so whats the "warn" about? Go drink your Oil naa. ![]() Lastpage! |
RoyalMail:I knew he had to respond on twitter! ![]() Onigbese twitter Senator! Lastpage! |
Jirate:You mean he should have been court-marshalled and dismissed first, before being sent to Civilian Prison? You are right. Lastpage! |
divinehand2003:Yes, they are corrupt but when they decide to "go at you", trust me, they have the law to back them up and they can use it to finish you. Moreso, when you have stepped on toes and have not been completely upfront about your tax. If you are so clean that the Govt cant get you, they will surely get you with the "Tax Police". Nobody pays their 100% tax. Go and ask Wesley Snipes and other rich dudes. ![]() Lastpage! |
Nicholas007:Nooo! Dont call him o! Let him be running his mouth because of what he wants to "chop" I think he has become a Senior Lawyer now, abi? When it is his turn to spend a few weeks in jail, walahi, he will be born-again. Let him go and ask "diarrhoea mouth" Fani-Fakayode! Lastpage! |
flakky15:First, you are NOT Yoruba! Otherwise you would know that Youbas dont harbour Thieves, frauds, mentally deranged beings, without telling them what they are. Shielding thieves, criminals and giving them Titles are the signatures of IPAD peeps. Lastpage! |
VictorRomanov:If you try that in Lagos .... na "One Chance" you enter so! Either dem go take you do Jujuu or them go do your bank Account "strong thing", using your ATM! Lastpage! |
Tochytee:So, when someone is making provocative statement against PDP,...on LIVE RADIO The next thing is to carry thugs and compromised Police to beat them up? Now, truly believe that You people are indeed ANIMALS! But then, the LAW should take its course! "Attempted Murder" carries a weighty Prison sentence. Lastpage! |
. Yes, we are all NEIGHBOURS, ......I live at Ajegunle! ![]() Lastpage! |
n3xt:Watching in 4D, on a 4K platform. ![]() Lastpage! |
EgunMogaji:I am NOT his (or anyone's) SUPPORTER! ![]() Infact, l dont do "collabo" at all, because my views are usually very strong. I can easily fall-out with anyone, anytime, but it will always be based on PRINCIPLE, nothing personal. I wont support WRONG-DOING. My position is based on "My Principles" (Values, Convictions, Response to Adversity ) Where we defer is 1.) "if the baby should be thrown away with the water" .... "REFORMABLE" or not! 2.) whether he did what he did out of MISCHIEF (which is Criminal!) 3.) whether he did it out of INCOMPETENCE (which is Negligent!) But l wont deny anyone their right to hold a different view to mine. Even twins from the same womb that l know are voting differently.....one for "BRexit" while the other is voting to "BRemain"! How much more, we that we are "complete strangers" to each other? My not giving "any" builder on Nairaland a build yet is because l have not been confronted with a challenge l cannot yet solve, with my "long standing team" of Builders. Why change a winning team? But with advancement in technology and new innovations, Brabus and Abdulwastecx are on my mind, ..... each for different reasons Let us just be calm. Thank you. Lastpage! BTW: I wonder why no one is talking about how l was very hard on Brabus and was one of those who insist he must refund Maverick? My past posts and positions have always remain consistent. I have reduced the [size=18pt]COLOR[/size] in this response because l noticed you dont like Crayon! ![]() |
abdulwastecx:Thank you Abdulwastecx, I have nothing more to add the above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont know how long (One year? Two years? Three years ..or Forever) it takes to label someone a fraud!? If anyone claims they dont have KNOWLEDGE of what happened between Brabus and some of his Clients, they they need to read this thread all over again. But then, "KNOWLEDGE" and "WISDOM" are not the same thing! "WISDOM" ..... is the application of Knowledge. ![]() I have made my own points known, l wont spend the whole 2016 flogging a dead horse! Each man to his own conviction. Lastpage! |
DonMaxxy:Abortion may be necessary in some cases, like Defilement, especially by men of the underworld! What we should not have is this current, rampant disregard for human life such that it is considered the norm while discarding our normal requirement for chastity! Men should not go about using their 'Johnny' like its a 'door key' that must go into all keyhole. Reserve it for your wife ![]() Women too should learn to keep their legs crossed and closed. Open it only fr your husband Lastpage! |
mavverick:I am "one" of those who believe in giving someone a second opportunity. Infact, if not that my current build is so advanced (builder input no longer required), l would have used it to prove you guys wrong. I am looking forward to when l will want to do another build from scratch, l will announce it here that l am using Brabus to build it. Quote me on that, god willing. Brabus has his issues, ...serious issues (and l have spoken repeatedly on them, even went as far as advising him "like l would do a "Blood Brother". Three things accounted for the failure in his "PAST" Builds: 1.) His knowledge of foundations (back then) was very INADEQUATE!: He meant well but you cant give what you dont have. back then, his knowledge, compared to now was very limited! 2.) The Clients were mostly, if not all, "Diasporeans": Though this is not an excuse but his Clients have zero or very limited knowledge of Building. They relied on Brabus' "expertise" when in actual fact, he too was just "learning as we go along" (like some other Builders here too, you can see from the way they ask or answer "technical questions". (Abdulwastecx stands out from the crowd! he is a trained Engineer so, "No shaking" . This is where Brabus "bit more than he could chew". He could have, at the very least, INSIST on a Soil test at all times.... and just follow the recommendations of a Structural Engineer who interprets the result 3.) Supervision was lax, if not non-existent: Again, l wont blame the Client but we are all learning! There is a reason why projects have "Consulting Supervisors" that are different from the Builder. These are Professional Engineers who are paid and mandated to ensure that "they monitor and approve" what the Builder is doing on ground. You should not allow your Builder to supervise himself. I wont. Brabus was building without "oversight" supervision. If you cant supervise your builder, please employ a qualified person to do it for you. The reason l am very confident that l will give him (Brabus) a job in the future, is that as "a Client", [b]l will be with him EVERYDAY of the build! That is how l do my own builds.... l monitor like hell, while "learning" at the same timeI have acquired "appreciable knowledge and experience" over time, such that even if l dont employ a seasoned Engineer as Supervisor, there is NOTHING Brabus will or can do, that l am not knowledgeable about. I WILL TELL HIM WHAT TO DO, I WILL ENSURE HE DOES WHAT I WANT AND I WILL DO THE NECESSARY TESTS (SOIL, CONCRETE, e.t.c) to assist both of us to make a success of it. it is a pity that the above three factors came into play, all at the same time, in Brbaus's build for his clients back then. TODAY, in 2016, l dont think all those three factors can/should still align together... to produce the results we are referring to/discussing. As for his "personal values"...... What you "already know" should not be able to hurt you... if you are intelligent and smart![/b] Brabus na Ijebu, me na Ijebu, so let us see who get "sense" pass now. ![]() So, when l say l will give my job to Brabus, l know exactly what l am saying and l am not saying it out of ignorance or sentiments. Mind you, Brabus, like any other humanbeing, have their "strengths and weakness" I know how to turn a "human weakness", into strength. Thank you, Lastpage! BTW: I also believe anyone can reform, if they want to. I also dont FLIP-FLOP on my relationship with anyone .... because it is ALWAYS based on PRINCIPLES, not personal sentiments. |
abdulwastecx:And as a man desires in his heart, good desires, so shall it be. I look forward to "one day" when l will say "That Dangotte of Building you see on the Podium receiving that Award" use to answer my posts on Nairaland, back then"! ![]() if you also get their website URL, l will like that too. I am really falling in love with the Polystrene Fascia, as you describe it. As for fire, maybe one can paint it with a fire-resistant paint?.... just to make it safer (Anyway, fire wey catch fascia, don catch roof/roof woods be that!) [/b] Polystrene wont make a difference by then. God will protect us from fire hazard as we also do our very best to remain safe. Just for knowledge sake, what is the average price of say a 5m or 6m length of that fascia l saw your guys carry with a single hand, in your post back then when l asked you about this fascia? just give me an idea of how much you had to pay. abdulwastecx:Thank you Sir. That will really be appreciated. Lastpage! |
babalose:PRAYER SECONDED. Its happened, we cant reverse the hand of the Clock. But God that provided you with the money, is still alive and capable. God will find a way to compensate you, going forward. Be strong, "the fall of a man, is not the end of his life". I remember having lost a lot of money to IPO SHARES PURCHASE sometime in 2008, like many other folks. It was so much that "l refuse to think about it" and refuse to sell the shares for the "paper" they are worth today. Infact, l just "laugh at myself" because it would have been better if l burned the Naira notes (at east l would use the ashes to make Soap!) TODAY, l just see it as a lesson-learned. (I invest in property now, no more shares! )So, take heart and be strong. YOU will bounce back! If l can,... YOU can and YOU will. Those who give others a second chance, will themselves be gifted a second chance. Its KARMA. Lastpage! |
n3xt:Good Stuff, Brabus. So, depending on how it was formed, the Planks can be removed for re-use. Thanks for chipping-in and supplying the video. The Pipe thingy was in the case where the void is sealed (As opposed to accessible spaces underneath). When the water in it rises above the outside water, it can use a valved-pipe to flow out Lastpage! Let me wow you with discotheque [size=14pt] "COLORS" [/size], for your effort |
NLresidentQS:This was my thinking also, initially. I think one way or the other (since such foundations are usually done on low capacity bearing soils), water will find its way into that void. I was even thinking that one can put a "valved-Pipe" such that water inside the void can only come out but the pipe cant take-in water. if the building is sound-enough to stand on its own without the void being filled-up, that is a massive 'cost-savings' (Laterite fillings et all). But then, l would differ to "Construction" Engineers on this one. I have never done this Suspended Raft with Piles under, before. Thanks for your response. Lastpage! |
abdulwastecx:Abdulwastexc, your responses are always top-notch. I am just imagining what/who you will be in a decades time! Maybe Nigeria's own version of Julius Berger? ![]() I have saved your response and so dont want to re-quote it verbatim. The "Polystrene" material you referred to above, is it a composite material or a single material one can get to buy in the open market? What's the name, if l may ask? Weight reduction, Cost reduction and new methods/innovation always excite me. Thank you for your response. Lastpage! |
adajiboyy:"Cluelessness" seems to be genetic in you people! How is it Aisha Buhari's business to prove that what Fayose alleged is FALSE? The Constitution says "The burden of proof lies on he who alleges (Fayose). I am sure if l said "You just poo-poo and did not wipe your dirty butt....... you will remove your pants and go unclad in the market square, just to prove me wrong" I am sure you will do that going by how d@ft your comment above is. Dont tell me you wont. Whenever Fayose's immunity lapses, he would have to defend all his careless utterances and criminal actions. For now, he cant be charged to court or sued in any form. He can only be investigated and the file "kept" for future prosecution. That is Section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution. Aisha should just take a chill for now. Lastpage! |
