Deforming the formwork...

even the @Twinskenny himself is a yeye somebody whom I will call a serial robber but that's an issue for another day. He's a very greedy dude who only thinks about himself.

If you want to call him out, please do, with your evidence... Insulting him without evidence is all shades of wrong! If done to you, you won't like it.

sonnie10:
What do say about people like Mr. Next? He has all the templates for building to the least details.
He has every tools and equipment you can imagine.
His budgeting skills are top notch.
Yet, he often runs into huge troubles with execution .

This is a case of a cowboy builder who doesn't have the requisite training of the building trade who parades, misrepresent and even apply themselves as a resident engineer. This is fraud. They are always an accident waiting to happen.

Those words are hardly what I would use to describe twinskenny.
I know of some greedy people on here but he is a selfless person to other contractors at different sites that I'm privy of.

There's no issue with the job he's done for me so far, so I am far from your experience.

Baba I don’t know what is he talking about…

Thank you very much sir

MrOkenwa:
This is very sad and quite disappointing. I wonder how fast people change. You can give the job to another artisan while you go after him for your full refund.

This is well noted,

Thank you.

Why spend the funds before completing his work? The issue is budgeting or better put, lack of budgeting skills.

Budgeting skills is the ability of an individual to adopt a proactive approach towards managing their company's money and also their personal funds leading to the growth of the business. Budgeting skills involve conscious decision making about allocation of money such that expenditures do not exceed the income. Most artisans have the trade skills but lack big time the budgeting skills to allocate appropriately huge funds. This is the reason you would notice an artisan who keeps getting trade and has been in the business for a number of years, yet they are still small. No personal growth. No company growth. Then you would ask yourself; if you keep getting trade, why are you still small in company outlay? No assets, no tools, no machinery. Still that basic rudimentary set-up you started with 20 years ago - Lack of budgeting skills.

So as a homeowner, when you are awarding jobs to artisans, just be aware of this. Don't bombard them with so much scopes leading to so much huge financial allocation. Break the job down into chunks (small segments) and allocate funds accordingly. Only make further funds allocation when the previous segment has been completed satisfactorily. This is known as project management. The homeowners who run into HUGE difficulties with their tradespeople are the homeowners who failed to manage the processes of their project.

It is of note that some Nigerian professional graduates also don't have budgeting skills. So, in no time they run into difficulties.

Well done

But there is nothing wrong in also mentioning those who help make your building come out pretty well…


The electrician (Twinskenny)

The pop guy (bolu1986)

The paint supplier and painter (Gbadexy)

At least try and give a little credit to them as well…

My opinion though…

Well done

It is very important you check the status of the land before you buy or make any financial commitment, especially in Lagos, to avoid buying government acquisition land. For your Land Survey Services, call 08069018449

1. You already went ahead and listed the people for him. I think he should be the one to make that decision. I think your message to him should have just stopped at the first paragraph and he can come and list them.

2. You say these people HELPED him? Help as in free assistance? I thought they were paid to do a job or am I missing something? When I give workers job, they are the ones that usually thank me.

I think he is talking about advertising, not necessarily about appreciations .
His statement is just a way of also projecting his name in the good work.
Remember, a tree is known for its fruits.

You collected money for your work . I believe you did not introduce him to the client. You sound as if you gave him or link him with the client.

@money121 agba roofer

Gud evening my brother I am not awared of everything but I was told that he has accident when he was comming back from ur site on Sunday last week because he is currently working with me,two of my staff confirm to me,
I made a report about Adedward , an aluminium guy whom I contracted some jobs too since the 6th of August, 2022, based on reaching out to me for assistance and pre vious work relationship. I remembered quite a number of people on this forum were demanding for his identity and even sent reminders on the status of the job, following a grace period of 1 week after he had delayed for so long to see if he will keep to his promise of completing the job... I was however shocked only two people from the pool of Nairalanders calling for his identity commented on my report/post, quite funny though.. This report was made on this forum on 7th of November, 2022.

Today makes it exactly 127 days after I contracted this job to Adedward and 34 days after I reported him on this platform, with no significant progress made on the job till date.

I remembered him responding to my post, even though some of his allegations were false, I decided not to trade words with him, all I wanted is a completion of the jobs I gave to him in the shortest possible time. He reached out and promised to complete my work within a week of my post.

He came with his apprentice boy afterwards, while I was away in my station outside Lagos, to work on the window nets, he left the boy to do the job. I returned to meet the boy 5 days later, doing nothing after he was partly done with the frame nets which were poorly fixed and uncompleted. The boy was doing nothing, just sleeping and waking up, with my wife taking care of his feeding day and night. He was staying in my BQ. All the while, Adedward refused to show up. Three days after my arrival, I told the boy to leave and return to his boss, since he was literally not doing anything. It was then he told me his oga has instructed him to go get the net materials and that he will be coming with the remaining frames for the window nets. This didn't happen that day and I had to return to my station the next day.

I remembered discussing with him over the phone for the side elbow for the downspout part of the rain water collector, after he told me he was bringing in some boys to complete the rain collector. I even had to send him money for additional 14 Pcs, when he claimed it was not in original calculation, but to my greatest surprise he came around with just 4 Pcs. The boys came and could only do about 10% of the job, cos obviously the rain collector parts he had bought were not complete, as some important parts for joining the gutters were grossly insufficient, in fact the boys complained that the materials were not enough. It was then it dawned on me that he only bought some of the needed materials and dumped them onsite as a pretense that what was left is workmanship.

He, Adedward even came at some time to work on the Toilet doors and did a very bad job of fixing the aluminium doors for the bathrooms, after convincing me to remove 5 ready made doors already installed for the bathrooms, with the promise of giving me better durable aluminium toilet doors. With the exception of the door to the master bedroom which is not completed though, all other doors are with faults, in fact he told me two of the doors can never close except he breaks the already tiled walls for the frames, heaping blames on the tilers and bricklayers, for frames he erected by HIMSELF.

All these were happening, while I was away.. It was very obvious he was avoiding me.. So, last weekend when I was home, I requested to see him unfailingly and he came on Sunday, the 4th of November 2022. I showed him all around the house and expressed my dissatisfaction on the jobs he did for me and why he would leave his boy alone to do the job. Mosquitoes are coming into the house in droves from the side of the net frames, poor quality of window nets used and poor fixation too, the toilet doors are either not completely/badly fixed, the rain collectors is still less than 15% completion, and some joint areas are leaking etc... And of course, still owing me #80,000 refund from the money given to him for the cubicle.. He begged me to give him a week, but I gave him 3 days...

The following day, I didn't travel to my station as expected and waited to see if he will keep to his promise of coming to start the job as promised... Adedward didn't show up till I called him at night, it was then he told me he had a fall from the bike while on his way home and promised to do something about the work the following day...The following day, I called at night again, he said his back was paining him.. asked if he is on admission, he said No, but was taken to an hospital, he doesn't know the name of the hospital and that he did an X-RAY in a Lab , he also doesn't know the name either.. On Thursday, he sent a message that his boy will be coming with the guys to fix the water collector and that he will fix the bathroom doors by himself...

It's a week after his promises, and he has still not shown up..neither his boy nor the water collector guys..


I am sure there are people on this platform that are his friends or close associates, how would you feel if you contracted a job that shouldn't take more than 1 week and it is yet to be completed 127 days (4 months plus and counting) later... long after complete payment and still expecting a refund of #80,000 from the person you gave the job to..

I have exercised more than enough patience and gentleness, and will go through any legal means to retrieve my money from Adedward...

He can hide or run for as long as he wants.. but the law and the works of his hands will catch up with him!

I told him to his face that he, Adedward is not reliable, has no integrity and grossly unprofessional, and it remains so, until proven otherwise!
