discuss with your former client and find people who will beg him to find a middle ground.

this is what we call see finish.

We all have different definition for the word “tangible.“ You know this sir. But make we leave talk....

Lastly, I carefully chose my words but I cannot but admit that your action here is actually working against me. Hence the reason I am struggling to pay.
Me wey my Business Development manager dey earn 350k/month years back and my carpenters dey receive 200k mobile phone as an incentive for a job well done.

______
Offline Network?

On the issue of networks, I have a different use for my positive connections.
______
Kobocity clients

On the issue of not picking clients from kobocity.com, the aim of the project is very clear and we are sticking to it.

It’s a community for self builders, diyers, contractors and tradespeople to discuss projects and exchange ideas. See the attached below.

_____
Pass?

I’m not looking for validation from anyone. Otherwise we won’t be here in the first place.

______
Please kindly bear with me, I’ll repay you soon.

do you have shame?


You're one person I looked up to when I discovered this thread but right now you're everything I will never wish to become. Just so you know, I have been to the said site and the building is a far cry from what you grab from the internet and post here. The walls are far from being aligned and the pillars filled with holes and cement bags used to patch up places.

If you are intelligent, your best line of action is take this case offline, discuss with your former client and find people who will beg him to find a middle ground.

Somehow is one of the best people you can meet in Nigeria and you can quote me anywhere. He should never have come across someone like you in his life.

Don't try and reply me as I'm too busy for you.

Make una come buy my gate. It's just 650,000

I’m happy you were there to see things for yourself.
May I tell you the contractor on the next building to the one you visited got everything wrong during its construction.

I mean foundation, building size, material used etc that they had to go back to the foundation after getting to the first floor slab.

Guess what? They didn’t rubbish the job. They fixed it at a huge cost to the owner of the project who happens to be the owner of the estate.

Your snide remark seems like a smart one but guess what you’re only hurting the man who engaged you and not doing him any good.

I was on a project all of you worked on. We fixed stuffs and I never bothered rubbing it on you except money121 because I know it might come at extra cost to the client and he send his guys to fix it. No noise!

Do you know what it means to do a water tank that more than 1.5m section of the tank had to be buried under the ground? It’s being wasteful and not being smart.

We fixed your sh*t bro and we never bothered to rub it on you! That’s some real shite.

________

You may want to share with me misaligned pillars and cement paper bags (that we used to prevent wastage) and I’ll be happy to share you the high tower you constructed that almost 25% of it had to be buried under ground.

________

Even a client who engaged an engineer who has worked on Tier 1 bank projects invited us to his project and we didn’t get there to be rubbishing their job.
We rub minds like matured minds.

It’s not because we want them to feel good but it’s because we understand construction.

————

You seem to have forgotten ordinary door issue here you got it wrong and you’re here to rub your mouth against someone who have to deal with more than 50 components of a building.

michlins:
name one project I worked on that you fixed and bring concrete proof. What did you exactly fix. And like I said, you should be ashamed

somehow:
I am expecting him to write another epistle when Twinskenny decide to write down the bad/inferior pipes he had to change in the process of doing his job.

Same with Olaleye the plumber, changed alot of bad/blocked/inferior pipes.

2 lintels had to be re-casted.

Not to talk of the steel trusses.

He should just pay me my refund which is what matters now.

michlins:
[s]at the bolded, this is exactly why you build sinking houses. In your bid to cut corners and being "smart" , you will rather build a structure on a shallow ground without adequate foundation thereby burying your client home under water.

PS,if I get to a site and it requires that I bury a whole 20m into the ground to get required solid ground that will handle the weight of my tank stand, I will do exactly that. I will rather not be "smart" and "wasteful" than to build something that will sink into the ground thereby risking the lives and property of my clients who sweated to pay me for the job.

If you can't handle "over 50 components" of a building and deliver, kindly stick to one component. You can simply remain an internet engineer who will give freely advice instead of dragging your clients through this type of mess back to back.

As for my door issues, I thank you for your help and I learnt my lessons and became better unlike you that haven't learnt a single thing since over a decade.

And this is where I sign out. I have a very busy day and deserve a good rest this weekend[/s]

n3xt:


Smiles.

At the same time you’re doing this, I was equally on Twinskenny’s project. I found something wrong and fixed it and ask him to come back to tidy things up.

That’s what true professionals do. They help clients advance forward in their project.

They help them overcome issues and achieve their dreams and not compound it through endless complaints.

Alaiye na me go preach this morning.

n3xt:


We build tank towers in waterlogged Lekki.

Spare me your lame excuse. All of us aren’t dumb.

somehow:


Yes you fixed them like you can even lift an hammer.

My refund is what you should concentrate on, not epistles.

how big is 50/40 piece of land and what kind of structure can be developed on it and at what estimate cost please.. anyone with idea should help me out please.. thanks and God bless in advance

n3xt:


You said this sometimes ago and I smile.

Find out more about me from those who actually visit their site.

I’m not only ambidextrous. I work twice as hard as every workmen on my site.

________

Those write ups are in my book of revelation.

n3xt:
I was actually expecting the pictures of my shoddy jobs o.

somehow:


Says the fashion designer that wears rag.

What else do you want to tell me that i haven't seen with my eyes?

n3xt:


I’m actually updating my projects there but the clients are coming from here and other legitimate sources.

Am I supposed to install firewall or gatekeeper to prevent them from coming?

______
PR and Branding?

In the last 48 hours, the visit and engagement on the site kobocity.com has increased by 104%. The highest we ever had in the last 4 months.

Since we got into all this whole brouhaha, we’ve completed 3 projects that belong to people here. A lot of those attacking me knew this but just can’t say anything:

________

So for me, it’s actually mixed blessings and I’m happy your aim too is also being achieved while we work on the refund.

DUNKA:
And with all the so called projects you cannot refund even #1.00

A charlatan you completely are

bolu1986:
We are in a country where anyone can behave anyhow and go away with it...

You did a shoddy job for almost 9 clients and yet you still have the gut to be typing all these rubbish.. even if human can't judge you remember there is a God in heaven!!!

You are just carrying a dead conscience around.. but remember everyday for the thief and one day for the owner...

You might be thinking you are wise but not knowing you are digging your own grave!

I wish you mend your and make peace with people you have offended...

Stopthecap:
Our resident building fraudster is a hardened criminal and sociopath, and has no intention to repay. All the reasoning and appealing to his conscience being done has no effect on him at all.

His poverty mentality is what has ensured that he has not grown his business from being a petty fraudster for almost a decade. People who met him on this platform have outgrown him in multiples

He is already moving on to the "next scam" He has been working with this scam format for years with "success" on this platform.

All these promises of repayment are smokescreen to push the issue under the rug
He believes the client has no means to make him pay and relies on the lengthy delay that a legal process will take.

All this bragging, goading, and endless threads are just to taunt the client into doing something illegal and thus invalidating his claim.

It is good to see that there are more people that are committed transparency on this thread and not allowing the fraudster's advertisement posts go unchallenged.

Prospective home owners BEWARE

This one is for the newbies and anyone that is yet to figure this out:

The fix is in!
You get defrauded and after trying to get your money back offline, you bring the matter here. After all the back and forth talking, the fraudster would be advised to pay what he can, never mind how much he actually owes to the victim. As can be seen above, #2m is being “negotiated” to #1m and several posters have presented this “#1m solution “ over the last couple of months. They would say half bread is better than none. People will tell you to manage it and cut your losses never mind the severe loss to inflation since you first gave money to the fraudster nor the emotional trauma.[i][/i]

Frankly, it pays to be a fraudster here because even at the worst case scenario, it is VERY unlikely that you would ever have to pay what you owe in full. Heck! This is the perfect scam to “borrow” money at no interest and pay back less than you “borrowed.” So, what exactly is the deterrent for fraudulent behaviour? Not much, especially if you don’t do it all the time like N3xt. If they are just engaging in untoward behaviour once or twice a year, they may be able to stay under the radar so spend quality time on research. That they post often does not mean they are legit.

The first thing is to always search the name of the contractor and also search with the words “fraud” “scammer” “scam” “fraudster “ etc with the username. You may decide to gamble still go ahead after finding troubling results but you can be almost certain that you will never recover the full amount if things go south and on top of ponying up extra money to fix the fraudster’s scam, you may spend even more money trying to recover that “half bread.”

n3xt:


Should I carry another man’s money to pay gbese?

Didn’t you see the way we manage a similar situation elsewhere?

We fixed what we can fix and I called back the subcontractors involved to come and fix issues identified.

In his own case, they fix and wanted to dump the bill on the contractor who’s not dead or unreachable because someone advised so.

If you don’t baba, forget about it.

Godisgreatest1:


Yes they did, both where written on every page of the 4 sets of drawings I submitted to them. They kept 1 set and returned 3 to me.

Each page also has 2 stamps.

The 50K I later paid at the site was for something they mentioned later that I didn't pay for.

There was no other disturbance after that.

Happy Sunday Sir.
