Brabus really has a tough skin and not really bothered by these exchanges.
I've met somehow and he is a perfect gentleman. I went with my boy to do spray application of his apartment and we couldn't finish that day as promised due to some circumstance and had to come over the next day.
At the completion of the job, even though he had paid me full payment in advance, he sent me an extra payment not discussed. I didn't bother him with extra cost logistics but I didn't need to because he was understanding and has conscience.
Before I forget, I met @ jeff68 also and he is a very warm and accommodating elder. He paid me in full in advance but that's not the reason for describing his quality.
I expected the vendor that got a whooping 7m worth of several jobs and that would have made very much even at 10% profit to look beyond part 40k balance being sent in view of the overall benefits to attend to his complaints first. I'm sure he would probably have given him the balance and something for the injured person on satisfactory completion without being asked even though he isn't mandated to.
Back to brabus, it's very wise for @ somehow to pick his words carefully also like he rightly mentioned. With the listing of some names of aggrieved clients, some may get the notification and follow without commenting and some may still be very angry seeing a dissatisfied job daily.
I sight a few posters saying they are newbies here and giving encouragement and I say " put your money where your mouth is" and encourage him with your projects.
Despite all the posts and warnings, avoidable mistakes would still happen.

Why not contract it in stages instead of per laborer. It might look cheaper the way you are going about it, but so many things could be avoided if contracted.
If you can get someone to give you a breakdown of labour charge and supervision, then compare that with what you could if you were to hire individual laborers.

sonnie10:
Nothing new. We have learned to live with these by now. You know how it is every time.

Sonnie10 picture updates here must alway create rancor.

Oya, 1 2 3 go . . .Let the ranting begin!.
My job is to count the votes

sonnie10:


Oga mi you no do well. I literally begged you to come do my pluming and you said east too far. I promised to you free hotel accommodation etc and you no agree.

Now the story on Nairaland is that we cannot afford the service of people like you. I did even bother to respond to the poster.

topsy23:


No my Oga u called me and I said you should send me the architectural plan. U later said someone has given a quote in which I said PPR pipe will be good for this type of project.

I prepared the quote but don't know where to send it to. The day you called ur number was not shown and you promised to call back.

Rain gutters don’t beautify your home. It’s a necessary evil in some cases.

Godisgreatest1:


The bolded is a mystery too difficult to understand.

Some people will suddenly appear from nowhere and start a parade of encouragements for a 'certified thief' but yet none of them are willing to offer him a job or pay part of the money he owes.

One of them hurriedly came here to inform everybody that he has finally completed a project, and later he started calling everybody a bully.

Then a Tile seller that has his pot belly filled with his share of stolen funds came and said everybody is jealous of his role model who is a 'petty thief'.

Please encourage him by giving him a contract, let him buy semo with your money.

EgunMogaji2:

And I disagree with you in return but we moove.

Thenext:
Hmmmm… hope this works sha because all this online applications hardly work in Nigeria unlike man-know-man. Seriously I don’t mind paying more than the N63,000 as far as I will get it on time.
Thanks sir

DUNKA:
Format to win the bid. The Koko is when the clients millions hits your account all these your useless papers get thrown out the window.

The next thing we start hearing posts and exchanges between you and your client. The sad fact is it is then the client will realize that he has been taken for a ride by a smooth criminal internet operator who has perfected the art of the con on the construction industry.

All your pre inspection, payment schedule, labour schedule, Boq, contracts etc are as worthless as your integrity.

femixity:


Can you explain this
"It's a necessary evil in some cases"

twinskenny:
How do you service this type of ac Installations?

Greenarrow01:


egun he has a right to post whatever he wants, but those that keen the client that was defrauded has a right to defame him and damage his business ? Even when he (blessed Sunday) has not been accused of fraud before ?
You can choose to not do business with him sir, but it doesn't make sense if you choose to defame him and his business, especially when he has not commited any fraud.

Few days ago ragpaput accused rotech here, and Sonnie came to his defence, should ragput because of that go about damaging sonnies business because Sonnie didn't support his claim ?


We can't be attacking people's source of living because they are not in tune with our beliefs, or position or what we stand for. Especially when they have not committed any act of fraud.

I feel somehows pain.
The over 2m is damn painful
But I won't be blinded to him publicly try to defame or destroy another innocent man source of livelihood.
Ps.
Me self no fit fight you sir.

somehow:


Calling him out is what some are trying to derail, they want the case buried but they don't know that 2021/2022 is not 2011 nor 2015.

While I continue offline, I won't let him thrive on this thread and there's nothing any of his supporters that eat from people's sweat with him can do.

somehow:


If you're serious, go to their office at 134 Ikorodu Road, I will give you someone's number there to talk to.

somehow:


As long as your own belly is full, you don't care how the "recommender" acted or who he hurt in the process right?

You have never called him out even after seeing everything laid on the table but when you're ropped with him, you start denying like you did before.

Money is not everything, people are watching everyone and seeing beyond our posts on this "not-so-faceless" forum.

Thenext:
I am more than serious sir, I have sent you a private mail.
Thank you sir for your concern

Horlardorjah:


No one is against you calling him out, but don't attack innocent artisans or traders simply cause they trade with him or not voicing out on your issue. No sane person is in support of fraud or fraudsters.
Ask for directions offline on how to retrieve your money asap and stop making yourself go through all this emotional trauma here with next just taking you for a Ride. Lots of people will be willing to assist you on ways to go about it. If that 2m is really important to you, u would have done more than this nairaland calling out

Horlardorjah:


Leave them Jawe @greenarrow.
Won't the guy sell without them doing business with him. @somehow, Why coerce anyone to support you or align with you, is he here because of you.
Stop bullying people to support your cause or plight, he wasn't there when you were transacting with next. You've gotten the sympathy you want and you said you have your way to retrieve your fund, so let others post what they want.
Awon agbaya kan wa ni group yi that are bullies from time immemorial n I wonder how they train/ed their kids.

Stopthecap:
These are the issues. Address them and stop hiding


Is Brabus/Nexthome the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?

I have observed the building/ property section from a distance and not made many comments. And the activities of Brabus /Nexthome have given me cause to worry. I think he is both the most skillfull marketer and disreputable builder on this forum at the same time.

My observations

1.He is not a professional builder.

Honestly, this is the weakest argument against Brabus. You don't have to be 'a professional', but you can be professional.
Brabus is not a building professional,but pretends to be one. He may be knowledgeable about how to put up a building (this does not preclude him from the industry but at least be professional to clients )

2.Poor/shoddy job quality,allegations of fraud and theft

Incorrect quantity or materials supplied,
Columns not aligning,cement bags in concrete mix, missing iron rods from site,using regular wood when marine was paid for ,counterfeit drawings, sub-contractors and suppliers not paid.... what the.... (na only you?)

3.All is good until money starts changing hands.
Excellent client relationship until money issues are concerned. Then the name calling and advice giving from a distance starts. I am yet to see a full spectrum of jobs done from start to finish for Nairalanders without complaint (i stand to be corrected on this. Pls really!)


4.Pasting photos like educational materials , meanwhile marketing himself(which is not bad)

Remember the ile-oluji projects. Pasting photos of work not done by him until the client came out screaming!

5.Photo Essays.
Each project is a photo opportunity to draw in the next client ,while not fulfilling full obligations.

6. Brabus is NEVER wrong
No matter what, never accept responsibility for actions on your project site. This is Brabus/nexthome's way. It is always the client that did something wrong. Calling clients who paid you money names, after they air greviances

7.Master of deflection
Changing topic in the middle of a thread, once serious allegations are made with new pictures or glossy future project and real estate seminars. And aligning with established builders to cover up

8.Cracking jokes after serious allegations are made about work done . This is after people have cried out their hearts and serious grievances on this forum

Clients beware

P.S. I am a professional architect who has never and would never work or had any interaction with Brabus/ Nexthome.

Maverick efforts to alert people of his work reputation should not be shut down.
Anybody on this forum who is swayed by his advertising should also be aware of his reputation beforehand. Several of his clients were aware of his reputation and still went into business with him. We should stop this " don't spoil his livelihood" argument. If people allege and show evidence of shoddy jobs and fraud from their livelihood why should they not sound the alarm to others.

The beautiful thing is people will see all this information about Brabus/ Nexthome and enter the trap. Why? Is it because he is the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?[b][/b][color=#990000][/color]

Same thing that was true over 6 years ago is still true today.

NOTHING has changed . A petty fraudster cannot change his stripes
