my point is take this outside, i dont care who pays who. we dont know brabus,take this stale topic elsewhere so others can learn.
you're entitled to your opinion but clearly we the majority are equally entitled to our own contrary opinion that these contracts were made from here and should therefore be settled here besides many of us have learnt a lot from these banters so it's all part of the thread purpose. if I'm in maverick's shoes, i would do exactly what he's doing,

When we said it numerous times, people said we were picking on him. Some others lacked common sense for saying we should not talk again and educate others, i will not call names, but you know yourselves.
Who in thier right state of mind will put up a flag like this on his site, at the end of the day he can put whaever he likes on his site, but come on, how many of us would put an ISIS looking flag on site. I wonder if it is to tell strangers that inmates are coming soon, so DANGER STAY AWAY or is it to say that EGUN HIMSELF IS IN RESIDENCE ?

Majority? are you serious? Do you know how many silent followers are on this thread? Please get out from this thread with your insults as quick as possible. Maverick is causing us damages more than 400k. He should do the needful. This is very selfish, so if we can't compel brabus to fork out 400k then we can't learn anything meaningful? You all should leave here with this crassness.

"Majority" came here to learn about building cost and process, not how to hassle a builder for refund. I am doing my best to stay off their business and they should grace me the same by taking this garbage out of this thread so we can go back to what brought us here initially.

Methinks Bosun Davies Soyeye / Brabus / BrabusNG / Nexthome / BrabusINTL / Ijeoma66 / n3xt / ikhige is one deranged fellow whose madness is still in its infancy. For, how else can one man be so cruel, stupid, fraudulent, spiteful, and yet vengeful?

One will expect other thieves to be apologetic but not this one, opening monikers upon monikers to curse, shout down and bamboozle your victims after swindling them is simply unforgiveable. This guy is a con artist, a coward and a vagabond.

This is the kind of idiott that gives this country a bad name, shame on you Bosun Brabus!

Lol, criminals are smart, before they pick there target they sometimes spend days or weeks surveying and monitoring the environment, so with that ISIS/BOKO HARAM flag hanging on that site and considering the havoc done by what the flag represent, it will send mixed messages to would be criminals and might likely make them back off..Lol

wiping up sentiment, playing the sexist card...What is so difficult to understand? Ogas and Madams of the missing 400k conglomerate please take your complaints elsewhere, create a thread if need be. We want to learn about building. You are holding this thread hostage and compelling us to continually read what we can not solve. We can't help you! The most I can do is to join the bandwagon of throwing accusations upandan. It says a lot about you as a person if you can't solve it with your army of sympathizers.

Picture this, a group of students taking lessons from a prof. Someone barge into the class unruly accusing another student of theft that his wallet is missing. Some students are taking his side with likes and thumbs up while others are saying excuse us, leave this class, we don't know this student you are accusing but you are interrupting us , please go to the relevant authorities and tender your case. We are here to learn and not to be IPO. With his Dangote posture, him and his likes are insisting that those who refuse to concede must be in connivance with the the person he is accusing. Do you expect me to be rational about your issue or figure out a way within my limited capacity to push you out of the class? You don't trample on others in a bid to have your way with someone else. That is total madness. Leave here, go sort your issue elsewhere. I don't know Brabus or anyone here. I came here to learn because I had similar issue with my builder. Na by force to join you fight? Oya go bring fuel and tire come make we burn am to ashes since na the only language wey u understand. I don't know who is right or wrong, I don't care cos they are very rude. Insulting someone with his lost family (I no know if na truth o) and financial strength on his project like say na ur papa wan stay the house because he is not taking your is just way below the belt. Throwing baseless accusations that anybody who refuses to see it from your point of view must be working in tandem with Brabus is pure insanity. Get out, leave here and go address your problem. Out of 189 pages in a thread about "...Building Constructions" you don chop almost 100. Na Noah ark?

First, let me confess that l have a huge soft-spot for Brabus and much of of this can be seen in my post on/with him since way back like two years ago!, not just because he read Computer Sc. which was my First Degree Grad course from Unilag almost three decades ago, but because l like people who can take challenges...... so some of my comments might be skewed somehow!
It does not mean if he does wrong, l wont call A Spade, a Spade!

That he had paid 50K out of the 400K shows that at least, he intends to pay-up, how quickly this can be finalised, is the issue here.
In this regard, l will still implore Brabus to take the moral high-road (I know Money is not easy these days, a relative term for different people ofcourse!) and just balance-up and let this matter be buried.
There is a proverb which goes that "If you are accused (in the market place!), of "not wiping-off" after defecating..... how many people will you bare your azz to, to prove it is a lie"? grin grin
So, That name "Bosun Davies", must be protected, at all cost, even if you have to bend-over backwards...for your own sake, your Business and your family members!
I will even suggest you package additional 250K AT ONCE and give Maverick in one go, after we all plead/ask him to forget the remainder.
You guys will still meet on another level and wish you did not allow this matter to generate like to this level. undecided
@Maverick, did l speak well, will you be kind to accept that offer if it can be done ASAP? kiss



Now, @Ikhigbe:
Your analogy is Puerile and completely illogical.... and l would explain myself clearly because my statement not meant to be an argument or back-n-forth contest:

1.) In the present case, Maverick is "a member of the class" in question.... as a Nairalander!
So, can you (a member of the same class) tell a member of the class to "get out of the class"? or dont they also have a right to (be in) the Class? Who made you Class Capitan? grin

2.) In the case of "a class" as used in your analogy, every member of that class is 'constrained and forced' to come to the Class for lectures.
They have no choice but must come for lectures, for them to "Learn and Graduate"!
In this case here, NO ONE is constrained or forced to read this Thread, just as no one is forced to "comment" on what happens. If you think you are not getting benefit from the thread, you simply Log-Out..... instead of complaining.

3.) Again, in the case of this thread, compared to your analogy, there are tons of other threads, by other builders/Engineers/Architects, e.t.c that one can learn from or post their questions to such that you can do without this thread!
In essence, learning from this particular thread is not a 'do-or-die' affair!

4.) As adult, l think we also know that "if you want to be heard", you have to carry your matter to the Market .... court of public opinion! You dont go to a "quiet corner" of the street and begin to make noise! grin
It is "common-sense" (and l am sure we will all do the same), to bring a matter like this, to a thread where you know others would likely see it.... not a thread created by the "accused" (I am using that word without prejudice to Brabus or Maverick).... where nobody is likely to even hear your vocie! grin undecided
So, Maverick is right in making his noise HERE! You dont like it, you check out to another thread. No one is forcing you to "learn" on this particular thread and there are many alternatives from people like Spyder, Aventures, Segcymore, e.t.c, that are even more educative.

5.) Since "You cant be rational" (due to the rudeness, as you put it) and "You dont care" ... the best thing is not to care at all.... and that means keeping quiet (They say "Silence is GOLDEN"!), reading silently as a lot of people have been doing .... or just logging-off the thread!
All these are within your control but it is not within your control to tell "others" to get out of the thread!
What will you. can you do, if they dont? Insult them? get rowdy and rude (as you are doing and have accused them)?
Do you see the futility of your post and why l aid it is puerile and illogical?

As to the other issues of "below the belt" that you raised, l dont want to get involved anymore since Hajji M has sued for peace but l am sure l am not the only one who still observes the "snide remarks and coded insulting jabs" being thrown regularly, by the persona involved, even after Hajj M and many others have sued for peace!
Thing is, if you Respect people, it is only natural they respect you , because "Respect begets Respect"! Its not enough to be caustic and disparaging of others..... and expect them not to react with at times! undecided
"Agab ma'ngba nii" meaning "Matured people should not always want to have the last say, in a feisty-cuff" ... !
There are certain responsibilities that go with 'advanced age', ......leading by 'good' example and showing maturity" are just two of them. undecided

Having said all the above, my prayer is that God will replenish the pocket of Brabus so he can offset this issue, within the shortest possible time!
I know you meant well initially (The Approval guy is a crook though) but its 'business-gone-bad'! Shyte happens. undecided
You will look back on this matter in the future and wonder: How did l allow this sort of small money to get me this much grief"? grin

Reminds me of Campus days when one of our guys just came back from Jand and he bought this type of Bandana with "Cross Bones and Skull".
Nice brilliant guy without any affiliation to any Cult o! shocked shocked\

He was posing all about with his Bandana, doing effizzy all over..... but the "Pirates Confra" on campus were like "When did he join us" or is he a "plant"?
While they were trying to place this guy, the "Eeye Confra" on Campus where also like "Eehn, so this one even has the audacity to be flaunting it in our own area of control"? angry angry

Before anyone knew what happened, he was way-laid one day when coming back from Night-rigour and was nearly killed, if not for the help of a Capone who knew him from 'off-Campus' and knew he was just posing for girls! grin grin

Thing is, "Ko'gbona, Ko'tutu, ....ija lo'nda lee"!

First, let me confess that l have a huge soft-spot for Brabus and much of of this can be seen in my post on/with him since way back like two years ago!, not just because he read Computer Sc. which was my First Degree Grad course from Unilag almost three decades ago, but because l like people who can take challenges...... so some of my comments might be skewed somehow!
It does not mean if he does wrong, l wont call A Spade, a Spade!

That he had paid 50K out of the 400K shows that at least, he intends to pay-up, how quickly this can be finalised, is the issue here.
In this regard, l will still implore Brabus to take the moral high-road (I know Money is not easy these days, a relative term for different people ofcourse!) and just balance-up and let this matter be buried.
There is a proverb which goes that "If you are accused (in the market place!), of "not wiping-off" after defecating..... how many people will you bare your azz to, to prove it is a lie"? grin grin
So, That name "Bosun Davies", must be protected, at all cost, even if you have to bend-over backwards...for your own sake, your Business and your family members!
I will even suggest you package additional 250K AT ONCE and give Maverick in one go, after we all plead/ask him to forget the remainder.
You guys will still meet on another level and wish you did not allow this matter to generate like to this level. undecided
@Maverick, did l speak well, will you be kind to accept that offer if it can be done ASAP? kiss



Now, @Ikhigbe:
Your analogy is Puerile and completely illogical.... and l would explain myself clearly because my statement not meant to be an argument or back-n-forth contest:

1.) In the present case, Maverick is "a member of the class" in question.... as a Nairalander!
So, can you (a member of the same class) tell a member of the class to "get out of the class"? or dont they also have a right to (be in) the Class? Who made you Class Capitan? grin

2.) In the case of "a class" as used in your analogy, every member of that class is 'constrained and forced' to come to the Class for lectures.
They have no choice but must come for lectures, for them to "Learn and Graduate"!
In this case here, NO ONE is constrained or forced to read this Thread, just as no one is forced to "comment" on what happens. If you think you are not getting benefit from the thread, you simply Log-Out..... instead of complaining.

3.) Again, in the case of this thread, compared to your analogy, there are tons of other threads, by other builders/Engineers/Architects, e.t.c that one can learn from or post their questions to such that you can do without this thread!
In essence, learning from this particular thread is not a 'do-or-die' affair!

4.) As adult, l think we also know that "if you want to be heard", you have to carry your matter to the Market .... court of public opinion! You dont go to a "quiet corner" of the street and begin to make noise! grin
It is "common-sense" (and l am sure we will all do the same), to bring a matter like this, to a thread where you know others would likely see it.... not a thread created by the "accused" (I am using that word without prejudice to Brabus or Maverick).... where nobody is likely to even hear your vocie! grin undecided
So, Maverick is right in making his noise HERE! You dont like it, you check out to another thread. No one is forcing you to "learn" on this particular thread and there are many alternatives from people like Spyder, Aventures, Segcymore, e.t.c, that are even more educative.

5.) Since "You cant be rational" (due to the rudeness, as you put it) and "You dont care" ... the best thing is not to care at all.... and that means keeping quiet (They say "Silence is GOLDEN"!), reading silently as a lot of people have been doing .... or just logging-off the thread!
All these are within your control but it is not within your control to tell "others" to get out of the thread!
What will you. can you do, if they dont? Insult them? get rowdy and rude (as you are doing and have accused them)?
Do you see the futility of your post and why l aid it is puerile and illogical?

As to the other issues of "below the belt" that you raised, l dont want to get involved anymore since Hajji M has sued for peace but l am sure l am not the only one who still observes the "snide remarks and coded insulting jabs" being thrown regularly, by the persona involved, even after Hajj M and many others have sued for peace!
Thing is, if you Respect people, it is only natural they respect you , because "Respect begets Respect"! Its not enough to be caustic and disparaging of others..... and expect them not to react with at times! undecided
"Agab ma'ngba nii" meaning "Matured people should not always want to have the last say, in a feisty-cuff" ... !
There are certain responsibilities that go with 'advanced age', ......leading by 'good' example and showing maturity" are just two of them. undecided

Having said all the above, my prayer is that God will replenish the pocket of Brabus so he can offset this issue, within the shortest possible time!
I know you meant well initially (The Approval guy is a crook though) but its 'business-gone-bad'! Shyte happens. undecided
You will look back on this matter in the future and wonder: How did l allow this sort of small money to get me this much grief"? grin

A million thanks for your input. You can't have it your way all the time. These bullies always try to stifle any voice that is not singing the same chorus as theirs. We need to shift the narrative from "he said, she said" to "you all should leave this place". From pages to pages, it was proofs upon proofs that will serve no purpose here, we can only observe and suggest, which was done way back. Truth be told, we gave them a lot of time to use this platform to deal with this issue which amounted to little progress of negotiating part payment. They all kept mute and never informed the house so we can at least follow up to see to an amicable end. What happened next? when one party failed to meet to up to the agreed settlement plan, they rushed back to this thread to continually derail it. This is grossly unfair.

I can notice a lot of progress today. You can see today, that we are no longer on another epistle of brabus this or maverick that. I knew they will call me names but I am hopeful that they will get my message in the long run, no one is born stupid. I refuse to be sensitive to maverick's plight when I discovered he is not doing same to me and others following this thread. You are derailing this thread, simple! You don't have that right to act recklessly here because you are having issues with your ex. builder. For how long are we going to be patient with you guys to iron things out? This is not the right junction to seek remuneration. Respect others, we can't be stuck here for more than 100 pages about a 400k saga. Presently, I don't care how you settle your case. They can continually embark on this journey of redundancy with the programmed post of "Brabus is a fraudster" , we will also scale that soon. Once again, thank you very much for your response.
