I wish Seun would provide an "ignore user filter", one of the first names that I'll add is this Quantity Surveyor. I also know that my "admirers" will quickly add me too

As a co-owner of Nairaland, l hereby introduce the ignore user filter, for every ignore button you press, you will be charged 25 dollars.....

This drawing of the building was the work I did when I took over on monday 25th 2016. Send the pics as at the last time you visited the site or paid any workers.
MR JOHNNY ODEMWINGIE IGUMA aka eghosajohnny, don't push me to the wall to expose all you have done as far as this project is concerned. I have given numbers of those that work on that site to people even a member of this forum for their independent investigation. I paid you for this roof wood since December last year before Christmas, you abandon my work and travel for over two week leaving those you brought to suffer. This roof wood did not commence until 19th o this month and the wood you bought was note enough, you refused to pick my calls and that of all those you are owing .It was the omo onile that made me know when the guys started selling material on site and begging for food in the community. I would stop here so Pls corporate as I don't want to talk much.

Did you pay for the entire roof wood despite I have given you money, why not send all the interior too.

As I have told you give me value for the money I have paid you so far

Don't play smart.

Thanks

The delivery date was 20th of this month because I told you my house rent has expired before engaging. Based on that I was pushing funds to you. Tell this house the balance of your money left with me.


The pics of the house as at the time I took over this monday are as follows

Can you name a member on NL you have successfully worked for? I am expecting the person comment. On the first day to do set out on site you are not around, we could not do it because of lack of block rather you sent a borrowed engineer, on the new date we shifted it to, you are also not around and you sent another borrowed engineer again. As an engineer who in charge of the job, when is your attention most needed. The guy that did the set out has no detailed building plan, he used approximation and that is what resulted in breaking of toilet for expansion. You changed the drawing of my kitchen, send the kitchen construction to members for their comment. The drawing shows L shape, you changed it and there are no enough space for kitchen cabinet. All these can be confirmed


Thanks you all

kopell:
Man in my humble opinion, you don't have to use this sad situation to blame the owner of this project. The reason for him, not consulting with professionals is best known to him. We must not use this unfortunate situation to advertise our professionalism. From most of what we have been reading and learning on this forum. I believe in what we have learned, we can make better decisions on whom we decide to entrust our money with. I have never believed in second chances, once a player plays once he will never stop playing. I believe the owner of this project has read about the builder, before he entrusted him with his money. This is an example for others, never pay most of the money for jobs in lump sum.

I would pause after this comment for other members to do their independent investigation. Members can call any of these numbers and ask them about their experiences with the engineer working on a site around okun ajah. Names are omitted

Block seller - 08099999285
Bricklayer - 08082261985
Borrowed enginer - 07064636734
Pop boss - 09096637090
Pop boys -08025182618
Parapet - 08109164967
Capinter - 08164639881
Iron bender _ 09091754045

What pains me most is that you prefer to shift blames than to take responsibility. Members here are adults and not kids.

Members, based on the drawing he sent can the amount he claimed I am owing him finish this project just for me to park in. The more you write, the more you expose your self, you have proved that you have been over paid!

As per collecting workers number, I called him, he didn't pick my call as usual, worker and supplier called him, he refused to pick their calls, some workers have stopped working while others are planning to stop. Since I didn't want the project to stop, I had to assure them that I would pay in case MR JOHNNY ODEMWiNGIE IGUMA aka eghosajohnny decides not to pay which he eventually did. If he has paid anyone, it would be to night.

As for not paying pop because they didn't give me number is funny, it was because I didn't have such fund. members can also confirm my position.

I wait for the feedback from member that would decide to do independent investigation. As I have said, I won't comment again for now.

Thanks you all

Onuokwu:
I am now more than puzzled.

It is well enough to blame that serial charlatan called Eghosajhonny, but we must also scrutinize the building sponsor/owner. You were aware of bolded above (in your words) and you did not dismiss him at this stage? You continued giving him money expecting different outcomes? And you are here now on Nairaland looking for public sympathy and indulging in 'name and shame?" Well....you know where to put yourself now.

NL1960:
Gbam. Iam also more than puzzled myself. All these happened and the owner still went ahead to be giving money to the contractor. When the contractor was posting pics here, he did not complain. Iam now more than confused on what is actually going on.

Onuokwu:
It will be interesting to know if you did any sort of due diligence on your contractor. The problem is not with Nairaland or its administrators but rather with you!

As you make your bed.....(you know the rest)

Mr. Eghosa Johnny. You said you were at the site today with your workers? Which workers?
I just called the following people today (Jan. 27th, 2016) their information were given to me by Mr. Pally to do an independent investigations.
You are owing everyone of them money.. and you were not at any site... because I asked them.

What kind of Engineer is missing on the day the foundation is being set?
What kind of Engineer is missing from his site for more than two weeks?
What kind of Engineer forces his Bricklayer to start plastering the house without the house being roofed? (I spoke to him)?
What kind of Engineer do a POP on ceiling when the house has not even been roofed? But of course the POP guy refused (I spoke to him).

If you are a real Engineer why did you hire another Engineer that waited for you at the site for about two weeks without you showing-up and eventually that Engineer angrily left the site; and you are owing him too.

I spoke to following people (I am omitting their names)
Bricklayer - (You are still owing him money for his work)
Carpenter - (You are still owing him money for his work)
Block Seller - (You are still owing him money for his work)
Parapet guy - (You are still owing him money for his work)
Cement seller - (You are still owing him money for his work)
Engineer you brought to the site - (You are still owing him money for his work)
POP Guy and his Boss - (You are still owing him money for his work)

There is no worker on that site that says anything good or tangible about you.
You live at Benin and get a contract for jobs in Lagos, and you don't even visit this site.
People on this forum should think twice before they give you any contract.

I believe in being given a second chance, but when you missed that opportunity, there will never be a third chance.

gabbytabby:
This is already the third that I am aware of cos he also messed up work for esoorita another Nairalander.

mufutau55:
And remember what the Holy Book said: "If you don't forgive people, you shall not be forgiven".
But it should not be a repetitive forgiveness.

@EgunMogaji, remember three strikes and you are gone... but in this case there should not be third strikes, two strikes is enough.

Hajji M.

mufutau55:
As explained before... everyone deserves a second chance, at least in my book (it may not be for everyone) and at the beginning the project,
it was going good.. Why complain? But when the going gets rotten, the victim has the right to complain.
Just because the Victim is bringing his case out does not mean he is looking for pity.
If the victim wanted to take a chance/risk, then why not? People do change, only that this guy (Eghosa) will not deserve a third chance.
No need to blame or pity or symphatize the victim.. at least his misfortune will add to all the accusations on ground about Egosha
and people can learn from it.
Eghosa has proved himself to be unreliable, unprofessional and unworthy. So do business with him at your own risk.

And remember what the Holy Book said: "If you don't forgive people, you shall not be forgiven".

Ultimately...."Cheap is Expensive"! Hunt for value always.

olumide4christ:
Hmmm... Epic!!

But very true!!

EgunMogaji:
I've been retrained on that by Brabus. It's a nice process.

brabus:
Baba, I've met Olumide and during that meeting with him, we were able to come up with an understanding that will help us both.

Just wait for the big announcement.

There are 3 categories of services.

Fast + Cheap can never be Good.
Good + Fast can never be Cheap.
Cheap + Good can never be Fast.

Which category do you belong?

Hmmmm, I had to move in like that because it took me two years to raise the money. I am now staying in an uncompleted building with my family. I pity those still defending him. I would appreciate if any client or those defending him to come forward and tell the house a single project he has completed.

As per his service being cheap, it's not cheap at all. His quotation for carcass is within the range of others. It's only the finishing that differs and we agreed not to use luxury items.

Anyway, I have learnt my lessons.
