I know this estate. Its behind the general post office around zoo lane in sokoto. Am aware it belongs to Rev. Kukah. It is a simple issue, he can come out publicly and tell Nigerians where he got the funds to build such an edifice if he is a true man of God. If not, then he should shut the f.ck up and stay out of politics.

Who was to do verifications? you are the contractor. Are we not meant to trust you again?
Brabus, I really wish you had a point here.
My brother just called me to end this so will do this for him now.
All I will say is this. Naira landers you have been following this thread with your eyes.
If I am wrong then so be it.
My conclusion is this. Brabus and my Sister colluded to defraud us of over 5M (submitted contract - New contract).
It's very simple here.
Who said what or whatsapp screenshots or recorded messages should not detract for this.
Bad Sibling? ofcourse yes. Bad Contractor? You decide

i will suggest you stop replying this guy. he does not worth the time.

This is my personal experience with Bosun Davies /NextHome Builders.

Background


Bosun Davies was introduced to my brother in UK by one of his friends who I believe is on this site and who has engaged Brabus in the past for some construction work.
According to my Brother in UK Brabus came highly recommended due to his attention to detail and communication skills which were vital to our brothers and Sisters in Diaspora planning on building houses in our beloved country – Nigeria.
My brother was going to source the majority of the funds for the project and myself and my Baby sister were going to manage the work being done here in Lagos.
Early 2013 my brother came to Lagos to inspect some pieces of Land and Bosun was helpful in assisting him with going to inspect the lands and providing advice on whether to purchase them or not.
When my brother went back to UK he was very happy with the way Bosun conducted himself and decided to engage his services for any future projects.
In Feb 2014 we purchased a piece of Land in LASU and sometime in Sept/Oct 2014 Bosun Davies/Nexthhome were officially engaged on this project.
At the onset it was made clear to Bosun that this was a family project involving myself, my brother and my sister and, that funds were going to be provided from one account for transparency and accounting purposes.
Our Experience
We engaged NextHome Builders to do the following:
3 shops
Security Post
6 * 2 bedroom flats
When we started this project in October 2014, Me, my brother and Sister had a conference call with Bosun Davies and explained what we wanted.
Bosun was very quick in providing architectural drawings/designs for the project and we were very impressed. In fact his speed of work vindicated our decision to use Nexthome considering the not-so-good reviews we had read and heard about their services. We felt everyone deserves a second chance so why not NextHome.
Nexthome provided a schedule of work along with materials and costing for the whole project. Again we were very impressed with this as this gave us an overview of the intended cost so we could budget accordingly.
I work in Abuja so my younger sister was tasked with working closely with NextHome and providing feedback to myself and my younger brother in UK.
My only dealings with Bosun at this time were via emails and phone calls. My younger brother in UK did not have much dealings with him as it was our task to manage things here.
All funds requested by Bosun were paid on time and work progressed as expected. We were able to complete the 3 shops, security post, Foundation (German Floor) and blockwork for ground floor in by March of this year and again things seemed very OK.
My brother came to Lagos at the end of May this year to inspect the work that was being done and bosun met him and showed him around the site. He was happy with the work done so far and Bosun then requested for some money upfront to begin preparation for the decking phase. He told him that it will be good to start procuring materials in readiness for decking phase. After consultation with myself we decided to advance Bosun with 1 million Naira on the 1st of June this year to prepare for the decking phase.


Where it started to go wrong


In the Middle of June this year I was in Lagos and decided to inspect the site myself to ascertain the progress made so far. On getting to the site I was very surprised that we had spent:
700000 on demolition of existing structure
1646000 – 3 Shops/Security
5,674,500.00 – Foundation /DPC
2,985,500.00 – Blockwork ground
And there was no material left on the site to continue with the next phase. This really alarmed me. I also got my colleagues’ Engineer to inspect the site for me and was told that the work was not even completed.
At this stage I decided to be more hands-on and take some time off work to manage things myself since my sister did not seem to be doing a good job at managing this.
I took sometime off work and came back to lagos and met up with Bosun early July. We had a brief discussion and I made him aware I was going to be more hands-on going forward. I also told him that I was not happy with the fact that no materials were left-over having spent over 10M on this project so far.
He then gave me some flimsy excuses which did not make sense but I was willing to cut my losses and move on. Afterall it was our fault for not being more hands-on.
Next day I spoke to Bosun and told him that having looked at his schedule again I feel we are being over-charged for certain things and that he should try and discount some things for us. He then made it clear that he was not going to do that by even one naira and that if I liked I should even supply the other materials by myself.
I then said thank you. That’s fine for me. Where do we go from here.
He then agreed to do supervision of the work and some other bits and that we can supply the materials. I being a man of my word decided to go ahead and stupidly pay him another extra 707000 naira to cover the balance of some iron rods that were needed and to cover some additional cost for the iron benders and casters. This payment was made on the 16th of July this year
To my utter surprise I first got a text from Bosun asking what the 707000 was for even though he knew what it was for and then he insisted that I send him an email saying what it was for. This I did immediately and to my amazement the next reply I got was that He was not going to do the job again for personal reasons.
I was very surprised but not bothered so I told him to refund the money paid the day before for iron rod bends and casters and then make sure he gets my materials that had been paid for to my site. To recall 1M was paid to him on the 1st of June and another 707000 paid on the 16th of July (a Thursday). He promised to make my refund to me immediately and my brothers and sisters this became a war. Each time he came up with one excuse or the other ranging from I am not in Lagos, I don’t have my token on me to make the payment. He promised it will be done my Monday. This did not happen. Eventually on the 23rd of July 430K was refunded for the Casters and Iron rod benders leaving 1277000 for the iron rods.
After this we entered the next stage of trying to get the iron rods for the decking. I had already got a new team of workers on site and work was progressing. I was onsite everyday and calling Bosun everyday but he continued giving excuses. This was paid for since June 1st and balance given on July 16th so why was it taking so long for this man/company to deliver my iron rods? At this time I was getting really angry. This has already caused a major fallout in my family. My brother in UK was getting so much pressure from my mum because he was the one that brought this guy onboard. What made it worse was that my brother in UK was still defending him. He seemed to be in contact with him regularly and he kept asking for Patience. I am completely different from him. I made this clear to Bosun that my brother may be quiet but I am from the streets and will take this to wherever he wants. I have been there, done it and I have the T-shirt to prove it. This guy was messing with the wrong guy. He was burning his bridges big time on this project.
On the 28th of July, the rods were finally delivered and what was paid for was not what was delivered but I decided to let things go and continue with the project.
Can you believe that the next day the iron rod supplier came back to my site asking for money. I said are you mad? What money? These materials have been fully paid. He said he had not been paid I made it clear that if he comes back here he will get arrested. How can he come to ask for money when over 1.2M had been paid for materials that were worth only 1M or so? This became a big mess and Bosun was nowhere to be found. He kept playing games and concocting all kinds of stories. I for one was not worried as I know how to deal with people like this. To my complete amazement I got a call that iron rod guy had come to the site with police and they were threatening to stop my work. I then instructed my sister to go to the police station with the police and speak to the person in charge and explain the whole thing. All this while Bosun was nowhere to be found.
I would end this here now because it has taken another nasty turn.
Bosun is now threatening to harm my sister. He has been telling my brother in UK that he and my sister planned to defraud us on this project. He even went as far as sending my brother a copy of the original schedule of work and the inflated copy that was submitted for the project. He told him that him (Bosun) and my sister were in on it from the start. He is trying to break my family up but he does not know where I come from or what I have seen. He who plays with fire should not store petrol in his house.
I know so much about him but I don’t want to use hear-say here. All I want to do is let my fellow nairalanders know my own experience and to let Brabus/Bosun Davies/NextHome know that if anything happens to my sister or any member of my family he should be prepared to face his worst nightmare. He has met me before so he knows what I am capable of.
I know his Pastor. I know his wife. I know people that are looking for him.
I make no threats but I will defend my family to the last by any means necessary.
Let he who hears, listens.
he will not succeed in sowing seed of discord in ya family. blood is thicker than scammers
