Just checked the bid he submitted then, no address included.

RCCG people sha grin

He was one of the contractors recommended to me 2 years ago when I was seeking a contractor..

So I would have almost fallen into another kind of hole as that of Bosun?

Funny enough I have 2 relatives pastoring in that denomination lipsrsealed
Hmmm

The two cables are good. Cutix cable is in the class with Nigerchin and kabelmetal. You can't compare them to Coleman. Am not saying Coleman is good just that the second brand of it has flooded the open market if you are not buying from right source.

Also, what is the size of the building before I can comment on the quantity

Sorry Boss, I remember seeing somewhere sometime you said 1.5mm is not good for earthing but that's what I can see on the last item here for earthing. Is it fine?

Sorry what do you mean by size, no vex I'm not a building person. It's a 5 Bedroom Terrace.

Lastly what do you think about labour. I already paid him 100k for the piping. This 200k looks much, how much do you think is fair.

Maybe you don't know what it mean to generalise. Go back and read your statement.

You have issue with someone handle it. Don't bring denomination or religion to this forum.

We have good and bad individuals all over Nigeria unfortunately. Note Jesus Himself had 12 disciples, Judas was one of them.

somehow:


It's my opinion and I stick with it or are they not RCCG people?

BTW, my statement didn't generalise as you try to paint it.

1.5mm earth cable quoted is for socket and, AC and water heater wiring.

Your main load cable according is 10mm so your main earthing cable should be 6mm

What I mean by size is the number of bedrooms, bungalow or duplex. You have answered it.

You can negotiate the labour since the electrician is in Abuja.

That means you have two distribution boards

Can you confirm what's the 6mm going to be use for?

Good afternoon all

Please does anyone know where Sam (Segzy14) resides in Ikorodu or the RCCG church he attends. I will appreciate it if you can inbox me.
Thank you


Why are you trying to track him down if I may ask?

Deal gone bad?

Or are you trying to give him more contract?

My statement is clear, no need dragging. BOSUN is also an RCCG member.

Attended 3 different branches for some years apart from having 2 relatives as pastors there, so not typing in isolation.

But I will stop here before this generate into something else because I know how fanatic/overzealous some Nigerians can be when religion is mentioned.

The name of a church or where a man goes to have fellowship does not make a man have integrity. God does not even value any man who does not have integrity.

That's just it.

Would you still say same about Judas Iscariot given your above statement.......
The man through whom the message comes from may not necessarily be the issue but the hearer of the message.
One thing I've come to realize in the built environment is that any contractor who is too known to sweet talk clients is likely going to fall into trouble with the clients.

Those who understands the concept of any religion ought to know that it's all man made.

Integrity is a virtue that makes one to ensure the right thing is done at all times given any situation.

Judas was destined to do what he did.

Not a good comparison. But let's take a break and face construction matters sir.

The current weather is dealing with some properties.

The whole wall of a building (1st floor) under construction was destroyed in my estate of recent.

The person in charge confessed they didn't include any pillar during the block settings which they have now decided to do.

Why waste money when you could have just done it from the onset?

Now this is a building meant to be rented out.

Is it normal practise to build without pillars especially on the island?

Those over zealous ones are like the Pharisees and Sadducees. They should all thoroughly behave like Nicodemus and not be living sanctimonious ways.
Anyone claiming to be a Christian should strive to have the virtues of Christ Jesus for it is because of the knowledge of Him that His disciples the early apostles were first called Christians. Remember Scripture says another had to take the place of Judas Iscariot because he was not befitting to be counted as one of them.

It is easy to say so about Judas and destiny.
This is the part that's not really read and understood.

Hope you know Judas was already chosen for that assignment except you're saying God's no longer omniscience.

Why would any sane person build a storey building of any sort without introducing appropriate columns/pillars in a time when even bungalows are built with columns irrespective to f soil type.......

Funny enough, the company he represents build for clients.

Just imagine what clients end up getting from his kind of company.

When we were to start mine, he came and said we don't need a raft foundation for my build that a padded foundation is okay.

Knowing that I don't pluck money from the trees to start repairing or rebuild from the start, I just ignored him and followed what was in the structural design.

@Segzy14 (Sam) go and supply the blocks you stole and complete the lintel (blockwork stage 2) job.
I paid you 600k for workmanship and 100k for supervision, you were never on-site to supervise. Haji M. and Egun the elders here on the property section reached out to you, you ignored their messages. I have also tried several times contacting you but no replies to my calls and messages because l am a woman you think you can cheat me and get away with it

You have no integrity, you are a thief and a liar.
Beware (new members on property section) everyone and DO NOT let him handle your project.
He is a one-chance engineer.

YEEPA!!
Segzy14 is now a confirmed THIEF!!

I knew it from the onset … when he came to me some times ago begging for contract…. He wasn’t professional in his ways but desperate … that act alone repulsed me

Thank Goodness I refused to award him the contract… maybe I would have been in deep s**t now

Too many fraudulent contractors/artisan etc on NL … God pls save us from losing our hard earned money
