He goofed also. Even me a local house builder would fall into the shiiiiit. You don't accept contract job that doesn't pay u financially or else you'd run at loss. You collect extra money especially coming from govt. Can the govt give Julius Berger contract without enough incentives backing it up??

I don’t understand him I swear,there is always price increase clauses in every contract and contract review if the payment wasn’t made within certain period of time,he is hiding lot of things.

What does enugu need to build the tallest building for. See how governors are wasting resources on useless projects

So far, the Enugu state gov’t had performed relatively well, so if they’ve done their due diligence and can afford to build a skyscraper that will put Enugu on the world map, then i say good on them! I’d trust Peter Mbahs’ administrative skills and judgment any day over and above that of present and past governors who didn’t build any skyscraper and yet still performed or are performing woefully in office! It’s not as if any sector in Enugu is suffering neglect at the moment because the state gov’t has ambitious and bullish plans for New Enugu!

Peter Mbah, abeg carry go! You’re doing relatively well so far!

RealityKings1:
What's wrong with having a hausa, Yoruba or idoma contractor? If they are qualified, you can't deny them the job because they aren't igbo

I want to believe ur narrative but sadly, I cant.....I know why d Igbos r facing in other states thats not theirs.....untill we remove ethnicity n religion from our constitution, Nigeria may not go far

Come on, man! In EPC engagements, the first rule to observe as a practitioner is to never surrender your standard and corporate philosophy under any circumstances.

Anyway, I know that you'll come out wiser and more grounded after this ordeal.

nobody go carry work give am again after dis

AndroBlaze:
Read between the lines.

He admitted on the video that from DAY ONE, the cost the government wanted him to build the schools at did not make sense, and the government apparently accepted this.

Which suggests even if not for inflation, he would have definitely had to cut corners to deliver.

What you people don't know is that this is standard practice for a lot of government projects and that is why a lot of them don't last or contractors abandon the projects halfway (if it even gets to halfway).

Most government officials don't go after a lot of these contractors because they've already collected their own part even before the project begins.

I was not there when he did his project (so I can't say if his own followed the exact same tune), but this is no news nor a major earth shattering discovery, everyone in their circle knows these things.

Na why Wike dey carry work give julius berger bdat....

You are saying this because it’s an Ayodele that is involved.

I bet you would have had a different opinion if it was a Chukwuma that was implicated in this.

So you now know the law more than EFCC and can teach the agency the law and their job abi?

This country will not go anywhere if you lots continue to defend rubbish and bend the rules once it’s your kinsman that is involved.

I am Yoruba but the story doesn't add up and the guy is only seeking public sympathy and trying to tilt public opinion his way..... however,what the op said about efcc lack of due diligence is very correct,......we don't have to bring tribalism into everything.

NNtv:
You accepted project know how volatile Nigeria economy can, now you can't deliver on it with lots of complain.
Some of these smart school project is already collapsing and sujimoto want to attract pity instead of going to efcc straight. It okay. Let's see how it goes.

What happened to your comprehension skills or you never had one?

Las Las na tribalism go consume all of una for this country.

Penguin2:
So this guy is reason why the Enugu Smart Schools in every ward has not materialized as Peter Mbah envisioned it?

This is not tribalism but I blame Mbah. There are Igbo contractors who would have delivered that project without all this kind of drama that is happening now.

An Igbo contractor would have been passionate about the project and delivered it in the spirit of “Nkea-bu-nke-anyi”.

I hope he learns from this.

An Igbo contractor will not agree to do the job at that pricing,it's unfortunate that he believed Mbah.A state that cannot pay good money to build a school but you want to build a 69 floors building.

seunmsg:
If this is all a disagreement over contract terms and conditions and if it is not the case of the contractor collecting money and not performing, then EFCC should stay out of it. Contractual disagreement should first go to arbitration as always provided in such contracts and if that fails, the aggrieved party should go to court instead of using state powers to intimidate the other party.

Hope,the EFCC is not making a rash decision - on Contractual Matters- between an Individual and the State?
Or how come the EFCC just came in the middle?
What are the Terms of Aggriment and Performance Bond?
Has it been Violated?

There's something known as contract review which government contractors do when cost goes up.. hope he put that clause in the contract

Some dumb igbo politicians who have lived in the west always have that funny mentality that anything west is better than that of the east.

Why is he crying? You are a business man bro! And in business things like these are not new. You just have to face it. Doing a video is okay, but why cry?
Are you trying to manipulate Nigerians against Enugu State Government? It is between you and the Government, so you both sort it out if you haven't defaulted in your handling the project. You are supposed to be a professional to the core, no need going into a business project,.most especially with a Government without clearly defined project plan, agreement and funding.
I don't fancy people that cry to explain themselves. I perceive them as emotional blackmailers.

spyder880:
And Spyder880 is from Enugu state, living in Enugu and not called to build even one school?

I have built so many structures in this country that the government should have contacted me and seen how I deliver over 10 new buildings in a year, and still have zero case with anyone in Nigeria.

While reading the news, na you first come my mind... How will those in government leave people like you and start perambulating up and down

Ogundele Olasijibomi on been declared wanted by the EFCC

Previous Thread:
Olasijibomi Of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Declared Wanted By The EFCC

Shouldn't have cried in the video. Does more damage to his brand. No one wants to do business with a weakling that lacks confidence

Exactly my point. It's crazy! Why cry?

EFCC could not have declared you wanted without inviting you first. Why shed crocodile tears on camera, just go and answer EFCC call and sort your clients.
It is very typical for real estate agents to take money from clients and bale out out. Afterall, there is no law that regulates them in Nigeria. Everyone can simply give excuses of change in price but when the costs go down, you keep the profit

And if indigenous contractors are used in other regions instead of Igbo contractors, you cry discrimination.

you mean deliver it speedily with substandard materials.

He thinks he can scam the Good people of ENUGU STATE abi.............................................that is not possible


this yellow bar demons can not be smarter than us..............mbanu

[quote author=AndroBlaze post=136699554][b] Sometimes I believe we get the kind of people we deserve in Nigeria.

How can a professional accept a contract to build substandard buildings as SCHOOLS, and be openly saying it, and because he is shedding tears in the video, Nigerians will start supporting him.

If the buildings collapse, just like Lekki Gardens own did, and innocent children from poor and average families now die, people will be calling out government, Tinubu is wicked, Mbah is wicked... conveniently forgetting their was a contractor who knew he could not meet standards that took the job in the first place!!

Could this grown man who is already wealthy (thanks to Nigeria being a basket case) not just say "No" and move on??

Is it every contract that we must take in this country?

Anyway, he has shed tears now so it cannot be his fault.....chai it is good to be an "Elite" in this country ooo, these kind of followers there mumu never do

YESSO!!!.
He has shed a few drops of tears. What is remaining is for Abike Dabiri to tweet this video....and apologise on his behalf. 😂😜

If you read second to the last paragraph of his quote very well, you will easily see the reason they invited EFCC in the matter.

1. He accepted that till this moment, he is still with the project, while in reality he has stopped working on it for long.

2. He accepted he still owed them something, which is quite contradict to his claim of poor pricing.

3. He also said the matter have been taking to court, which mean, the state government has already used right channel to approach the issue before taking the matter to EFCC.

Lastly, EFCC are not daft, if the matter is not within their jurisdiction, they would've stay off. Let him go and answer them, who knows he might be innocent at the end of the day.

[quote author=SeeWahala post=136699708]This his story is the same one all entrepreneurs are complaining about but his uselezz yolo brothers (not all) still support tilumbu to hike prices of goods and services monthly till 2027

If a whole state government contractor is crying then imagine the common man managing his small business on the streets and how he's weeping.

Yet TULUMBU is doing well....and the " "no pain, no gain" crew.
Shebi it's ending in maximum tears?!!.

Cock and bull story.

Those who know something about construction projects and construction contracts have spoken on this thread. With what the video says, these inhouse experts have asked important questions that both the Enugu State Govt and the contractor need to provide answers to.

We'll see how it plays out, although there is that sinking feeling that we all know how it will end. This is BAT's Nigeria after all.

That's what most contractor do. They give you cheap price and accept jobs they know they won't finish only to rope you in and take your money.
Then they firstly pocket half of the money you gave, use half to do a shady job and then come up with different stories.
Peter MBA is a business man and won't make trouble with you if you played by the contract terms.
Did you inform or put in for cost evaluation?
Why are you running when you can defend yourself? Its not all about shouting intimidation. Did you do the right thing?
Most contractors believe that government money is nobodies money

[quote author=zoomzoom post=136701391][/quote]It has ended in tears for this one.

Where the maximum tears will enter is if EFCC sends his case to court and he's found guilty hahaha 🤣😂

That one will become kirikiri maximum tears indeed 😏

both the governor and sujimoto are both mad for the governor to say no contractor in the east can handle school building his mad ,nnamdi Azikiwe stadium enugu was built by indigenous company called R.O Nkwocha and sons limited as for sujimoto that one na hushpuppy and ade Bendel joined together

But this is not enough to declare him wanted if truly this is what happened ..

Efcc has collected his own share from d govt and declare d guy wanted

Insane society

Government project na scam so before you see it blessing know your worth first and how large your bank account can be generous to the people via the project.
