mavverick:Anyone for the above. |
Hello All, I am looking at either a 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 toyota Hiace bus to buy from UK. It will have some goods at the back of it, anyone have any idea of the cost of clearing in Lagos RORO ? Some of the things that will be at the back will include some kitchen stuff, used and new electronics. |
When I had mine done, this was the sequence albeit I might miss some points but you get the drill after reading this. Decide on where it will be and the size etc. Carpenter uses 1 by 12 wood or marine to construct like a box or frame structure. Iron bender bends iron rebars for the formwork. Carpenter constructs the inner frame Iron bender tidies everything up. You buy cement, sharp sand and also original water proof cement/additive. The cement is mixed up and soak away casted from the surface. Leave it to dry for over a week or so. Bury the soakway by digging the ground from inside. Have a pumping machine running, pumping out the water continuously. If you require the base to be sealed, then again you will need water proof cement, DPC, some wood to block a hole or something. Then the base gets sealed leaving a little hole. I dont know why they do this. Have the pumping machine continue to pump out the water. Then after this, the small hole is also sealed as well. Then you get plaster sand for the internal to be plastered. Ensure that you have a cover for the top. This is what I remember. |
@Donswampo Do you really think I have time for @Donswampo . I have said if he's angry he can go hog a working transformer. I stand by what i have said. Whats my business with ratings agency, I am just expressing myself based on my experience which everyone is free to do. He can keep attacking. Not going to reply him. euromilion: |
Not going to disturb myself with any silly words on any wailing wailers... If you are angry about what I said, you can go to hog a working transformer as far as i am concerned. Donswampo: |
Besides, Why should anyone worry, any good contractor, engineer or whatever wouldn't have anything to fear. In fact they are more likely to agree with what i said about quacks messing up the name of good people. Donswampo: |
Nothing to do with brabus or whatever, if you read my comment very very well. it states CLEARLY MOST so called engineers AND NOT ALL Of course there are some very good engineers, my comments relate to most not all. Donswampo: |
FastShipping:Bros, I have just decided that no MORE NL people ever again. * Most of them are unqualified, just because you see someone giving tips or pretty pictures or like our master packager who even had the cheek to take photos from another persons site and claimed he did the work. etc doesn't make them suitable to call themselves engineer. * If I was an engineer that studied for it, I would be very angry as to how a lot of people here on NL especially have come to drag the profession on the floor like a Mop. * I even engaged one so called engineer here on NL that was no more than a teenager with a keyboard and a phone, I shook my head in pity. * Before engaging anyone, best to speak to someone like Haji or lawyer who is the moderator and do some research. * A lot of so called Builders/Engineers on NL are quacks who know that most people that come here on NL especially for building are mostly people in diaspora, an average Nigerian wouldn't come online to start looking for builders or see some pretty pictures and engage a builder on that basis, its a face to face thing (usually you see someone that has done a good job in your area and you enquire about who did it or based on some other recommendation), forget internet. No wonder why one builder here was envious of people in Diaspora as dollar dey rise !! ![]() * Lastly, Shine your eyes and ask a lot of questions. Have a fruitful 2016 and happy new year in advance. |
Where is my money ?
|
brabus:Here is what i am saying, the picture below is a recent correspondence from lagos state government, so you mean over 400k will change hands and no paperwork nothing and you expect me to be quiet and not take / about to take any action ? https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/consent.jpg So dont think that i am stupid or anything..... |
brabus:Not going to happen, think about it I gave you the money and told you the conditions that you will be the one responsible. why should i get dragged into it ? Why can you not provide the official letter stating the charges ? was Opeyemi there when you received payment from me ? was it Opeyemi that i paid or you ? So why should i be meeting anyone to ascertain if its fake and all that after I alredy tiold you that its FAKE from Alausa and Opeyemi knows that also. I expect you to be the one meeting Opeyemi, I spoke to him for like a month or two and we were going around in circles. So maybe you can understand what i am saying. Why can you not just present the receipts or letters ? And for the avoidance of doubt, I do nto know Opeyemi. Whether he is black, white, blue, short, tall I do not know. All i said was that I wanted to speak to the so called person at the approval office and you gave me his number, he is telling me that he didnt get any payment and I do not have time for all that bull shit, so tell me whose mind is clouded with negative and fraudulent thoughts ?? So before you speak, maybe you should drink a bit of common sense, if they provide it in liquid form. |
brabus:It has already been confirmed as FAKE at Alausa, in fact no record of it and anyone who has been approval done within a week or so with no record or receipts, please let me know. How come there is no receipt of payment to Lagos state government. You still think one is a fool, I have dealt with Lagos state matters for a while and i know the drill, I have asked you for receipts for how many months now. Opeyemi the guy whom you gave me his details already know its fake and was trying to persuade me that he will do me a permit letter. All of which I do not need. So I dont know why you are coming here trying to pull a wool over my eyes, do you think you are talking to an illiterate ?? |
brabus:Well knowing to be careful with your choice of words is a bit late now, what I need is a settlement as I already told you. |
brabus:Well. Here is the situation of things, you complained to me that approval people were disturbing on site all the time etc. You gave me the impression that you were providing me with a genuine approval, and I made it clear that this was someone you would be responsible for. Now you are telling me to meet you at some bullshit office!!! Now people owed an amount like this in Nija, there are various ways to get the money or at least some of it, remember I know where you live. Now, what I am doing is trying the peaceful option first, nothing concern me with police, they have told me they would take 10% of the money etc. I have been told other options who would take around 10 - 20 % as well and i can be rest assured the result will be quicker, what I am doing now is keeping my cards close to my chest. https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval1.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval2.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/approval3.png |
erico2k2:Do you watch that program Bros, grand design ? Its a good place to draw inspiration, but most of the stuff they show I find cannot work in nija sha. |
brabus:That is not going to happen Bosun ! I am not going anywhere, do you want me to put the screenshot that I sent you when I gave you the approval money in full of my terms ? Give me some few minutes. My terms were very clear, you are responsible for the approval and anything that goes wrong is on you. |
brabus:Whilst its not always a good thing to sometimes compare. But its worth you taking a step back and asking yourself, spyder, sege, Adventures DO THEY HAVE 2 HEADS, 4 EYES, 4 EARS, 4 FEET OR 3 BRAINS ? See, I am sure you have heard this Oruko rere san ju wura ati fadaka lo, meaning Good name is better than riches. When we first met, I knwo you were starting out then. it was a kind of test to see if we could work together, how times change. How many people did I link you with that gave you jobs ? |
brabus:You already asked me about fixing things on site months ago, you already asked me about coming to do the fence that you were supposed to do and was fully paid for it, but didnt do. I SAID NO ! Did I ever ask you to come to my site to repair anything ? Absolutely not In fact the last I remember is that you came to my site to take your marine board (I still found around 2 or so that were 30% decayed/rotten when I inspected), that is all I have asked you to do. If you do not get it, let me state it clearly again. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DO ANY WORK ON MY SITE ANYMORE, NOT STEP FOOT ON IT. IF YOU WANT YOUR MARINE BOARD, I WILL ASK THEM TO PUT IT OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER FENCE AND YOU SHALL PICK IT UP THERE What I have asked you to do is RETURN THE PAYMENT FOR THE FAKE APPROVAL. Now with the approval, its not worth the paper its written on, I have to do an original one, and as you know I cannot take 5 copies of one stamped with a fake for them to now put original stamp on, if you do not know, I can get you the original payment remittance made for the approval back in May states the amount in full, and the fact that I made it very clear to you THAT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPROVAL NONSENSE AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR IT. YOU CONTINUED UNDER THIS CLEAR AND CONCISE WARNING. |
brabus:The complaints, the reviews and the commendations make us do better. Trust me, I've learnt a lot more in 2015. That extract reminded me of AY comedy in concert, do you know how many times you have said that. Lets take out the 2015 and put previous years next to it. Your arrogance stinks like a bad fart, am sure you have been told this numerous times. |
PeoplesArmy:Bros E be like say u talk too early oo. I just go carry 1 bottle took a break for a second before i do some work on lightroom, some family members are already disturbing me about some of the great pictures I took yesterday and weeks earlier, I dey into photography as a hobby, take a lot of photos but people dey complain say they dont see the photos once its taken, so as a late xmas present, make i surprise them. Me n brabus never settle oo, he knows what needs to be done to reach an acceptable settlement, and I already made it clear from day 1 that his actions will follow him on NL and thats just one part, whether its brabus or brabusNG and also dont care whatever anyone says, as the previous poster said its a free world and thats exactly what it is. There is no wound to be opened, what I find is that with most of these issues, PERSON GO SEND MONEY MESSAGE OR IN YORUBA LAND THEY SAY "MO NEED LATI RON OWO NSE". |
brabus:You are obviously not on my Christmas card list nor present list. I was reading spyders bio. I think you should do one as well. By the way below is an extract. Re: Identification Of Spyder880 Outside Nairaland. byspyder880(m): 8:11pm On Dec 25 1) he is from Nume in nkanu east l.g.a enugu I am from Imeama Nomeh-Unateze, Nkanu East LGA of Enugu state. 2)he is married with kids Very very married with four beautiful children, GOD has been very kind to me. 3)his wife lives in ngwo where he built a house for them. Correct, until recently when we moved out. I built the duplex online here too, and completed it with my NBC salary, I was a supervisor in the company. 4)he was not into building till few years ago. Correct, I was a supervisor in the engineering department of NBC, Ninth mile till 23rd September 2013, but I have built so many houses before then so I was versatile in building constructions and had to resign to face the many contracts I kept getting, I was begged to stay in the company for 2 months but I insisted, building houses is where my heart really is. 5) he is very popular in nl and very honest in nl. Na so I see am oo 6) he is not popular in his hometown and the people of his home town still find it difficult to believe he can build a house or deal on land. Correct too, I never lived in my village in all my growing up years or my teen years. Both my parents were civil servants when I was a child and they both worked outside our local government. Apart from a few family members, I know very few people from my town. I am not popular in the village and many people still struggle to identify me inside the village, I still hear people asking "is he from here?" 7) many people from his village outside NL believe he is a scammer. HA! I am not perfect, but I have never taken what does not belong to me, never misplaced anybody's anything in my entire life. nairalanders believe he is genuine. I wont blame them for believing so, I have built more than 25-30 houses here in the last 5 years without issues. I have nothing to hide. |
See brabus Don turn brabusNG as if we didn't know he's from Nigeria !!! |
Madam You have really tried ooo. Well done. Is this in Lagos? If you don't mind me asking which area ? Also the rentals for the flat, did you give it to one agent ? What kind of finishing did you target ? |
[quote author=FastShipping post=41316862][/quote]Oga me How body, merry xmas in advance. Try to reach out to topsy23, he knows a lot about pipes and get his views. |
Also Oga Spyder Is there a name for the 21k doors, what do you think about american panel and such doors ? Secondly, do these doors have tio have a peep hole ? that hole for checking who is by the door, just looks odd me thinks, having that as an internal door with the peep hole. |
Chekitaut:That is really really bad. How do such people sleep at night after defrauding others ? For me, this is what I do. I have some suppliers that i have known for years, one of them who has been my sole supplier for all projects for iron rods and cement, I pay into his account and he delivers. We have dome biz over 5m now if not close to 10m over the years. For others that I do not know, they deliver and guarantee that when it has been counted and verified, payment within 1 hr. 1 hour because transfer to new recipients often takes a few mins, so saying instant just causes some kind of anxiety. For everyone else, I make it clear to them, if i wasn't paying workers would they turn up or you think I am like brabus who does this thing whereby he gets the payment for workers from the owner, doesn't pay them and then the workers come back complaining to the owners. I had it so many times with brabus, I cannot even count and its so frustrating, i even had some random block people come to my site even though they didnt supply me block, I said to them are they sick in the head, did you guys supply blocks here. They said brabus told them to come to my site, can you imagine !!! Endless fights on site, brabus brought like 5 sets of carpenters and bricklayers, he owes set 1 money, dumps them and then a new one starts. Thats one of the reasons for the bad jobs on my site, he then lies to me that they were not good enough, so you know they were not good enough and you still hired them !! If brabus denies this, I have evidence as usual.. I have other suppliers that they trust me that they do not even bother chasing me up. Once the trust is there and established its just a case of maintaining it. I had a situation the other day, I needed blocks and my regular supplier was wasting time as he was not in the country, all others wanted payment upfront, we sha found one that would deliver first and then pay within 1 hour of delivery. I said, after you deliver if you do not get your money within 1hour, you can stand there and ensure nobody touches the blocks, and after 1 hr of no payment, take your block back. This agreement worked, so I now have an alternative block supplier who is even closer to site. The trust thing in Nigeria is really bad, and from what checkitout is saying I can see why it is so. I was in Nigeria and stopped by a tank seller 5 mins away from site, I already have a plumbing supplier but he rips me off atimes. So i thought it would be good to try someone else who is even 5 mins away, unlike my current guy where our payment structure works, just that he delays with delivery and his prices are somewhat higher. I collected the number of the tank supplier, just behind the office of my iron/cement supplier, then called 2 weeks later to say that I needed the tanks now, terms were payment after delivery, as i wanted to try them, I said if you dont get your payment take the tanks away, afterall they are not needed now. We agreed 30% upfront and 70% after delivery which was fine with me, only after when she got my 30% payment, she then moved the goal post and said 100% payment or no delivery, I was really irked how one could have an agreement 30 mins ago, and all of a sudden terms changed like that, I told her to refund my money sharply. Send someone there to collect my money, rang my old guy and got him to match the price and he delivered next day, and fully paid same day. I pleaded with the first supplier coz i knew my old supplier rips me off with prices, the owner said xmas is coming and some people are looking to not pay suppliers etc, i told him look u know my site and its not like the tank are being used now. In the end, my old supplier did it, took the photos and sent it to this new people i wanted to try. Thats how you miss out on opportunities, when there is no common trust. |
mavverick:Care to deny ? |
brabus:Have you finished digressing ? Gbam ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION, WERE YOU LOCKED UP IN A POLICE CELL BETWEEN 4-5TH OF AUGUST.... YES OR NO. THAT WILL SUFFICE. No need to deny anything, here are the facts. Around the 4th of August, you were arrested and locked up at Ajah police station. I tried to call you over 20 times or so to no avail. Even your workers knew this, I wouldn't say which one so you don't go attacking them. It was a known fact, I dont know who you think you are fooling. It was at this point that I terminated that Brabus was claiming to provide at the time, how can I be dealing with someone who is in a police cell to help look after a construction site. It just doesn't add up nor make sense. https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/chat1.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/chat2.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/chat3.png https://www.zenet.co.uk/images/chat4.png Whilst I was sending all these messages, I didnt know officers were dealing with brabus using koboko ! Me just dey waste my time sending messages. Anybody who has been locked up in a cell with 12 or 15 other male inmates, and if you no get body or ur eye hard small, that person don enter one chance be that. I wonder if Brabus can tell us what the experience was like, I just hope you were not abused !!! |

spyder880:Oga Spyder Ever wondered why you have such a huge following... Honesty pays.. I wish most people are like you sha. May god continue to give you the strength... What a lot of people dont understand is that, if I was the owner of this house and after delivering such an ediface, if spyder says he wants X amount, me i will put my hand in my pocket and give him oo. At the end of the day, he has earned it and not stolen it. This is what I wish our younger so called engineers on this forum could learn. |

3strike:Lool No wonder why one particular builder appears to have gain weight in a short period of time ... I wonder if he's wearing such vests. I remember Fadeyi Oloro and Abija.... I know some people who have nightmares due to watching it back then, for me sha, I just found it funny and it was no more than Tv entertainment, nothing was taken seriously. Bros, you never told me what this stone looks like oo, coz I may need to find it on my site if its present as well, otherwise na to throway all stones oo, coz we dont know which one be prayer stone, which one be Abija stone... |
