You can use @rockofagesaluminum for the windows and aluminum doors.

He handled/handling mine and no issues so far so good.

Successbay:
Good morning Nairalanders,

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 previous 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!

Painful read
May we not fall into the hands of parasitic artisan/contractor.

Some of them do not care about the stress you used in gathering the money they're willing to squander.

In the end when the repercussions start rolling in, they end up sleeping in churches, mosques, psychiatric hospitals, and even shrines.

There's nothing a cheat can do to avoid punishment except restitution.

sonnie10:
The questions I wanted to ask, is the borehole new? Like less than 6 months? Have they been actively using it?

Was installed February this year and has been in active use.

At least twice a day.

AngelicBeing:
lf you are game, l will stake 10,000 dollars, we put the cash in an escrow account, are you ready

Seems you want extra money to buy tiles and roofing sheets sir lol.

It's not illegal to carry cash of $2k around in the US.

Police can't stop you because of that except something else is involved.

topsy23:
Is the tank surface or underground tank?

Option 1 Surface Ground tank
If it is surface tank, you need regular cleaning of the tank because the purpose of the reservoir is to allow water to settle before transferring it to overhead water tank. There will be some particles after treating the water. Also, you need to introduce filter as well.

Option 2 Underground Tank
If it is underground water tank you should have less particle of sand. You need to leave like 300mm (i.e minimum of one foot) between the pipe taking the water to overhead tank and the base of the underground tank. Also, make sure your plumber fix foot valve the water taking water to overhead. Regular washing is also required.

Thank you Topsy23, they are both surface tanks (Main and reserve).

We are getting a filter to handle the sand aspect.

Quarterly washing (Both reserve and main) has now been activated.

[quote author=aieromon post=115294750][/quote]So this guy eventually became a full time scammer?

From crashing people's trading accounts, claiming to have people who supply BTC for cheap, to asking them to send him money that his account is having issues.

This useless guy actually put a cousin of mine working for me in trouble in those days.

Said he got BTC links directly from Russia at good rates, my naive cousin ended up becoming a middle man, collecting money from clients I already had before putting in charge to supply BTC until one of his 'Russian links' got money and never funded him.

Left my cousin in debts and he never told me while I was away until after I came back to meet different people calling me a thief bla bla bla.

That era was hell on earth. Was able to clear as many mess he left for me as possible while Odira and his partners enjoyed majority of the loot!

Odira, so it's no longer Slovenia, Russia and Switzerland, it's now London?

Looking at your pictures, it is very evident that you're getting worse off. A proof that the path you chose has distroyed you further

Mr. Fernandez will hear of this!

Reussite:
Lol not this Netherlands that I am currently watching. While watching CROBRA earlier you could tell either of them could score but this on this NEDARG there have been no threatening attack from the Dutch. Arg is even likely to score the second tbh.

In the whole of 90 minutes in the first game, Croatia had no shot on target against that of Brazil that was around 8.

abuiltech:
1- Clean your tanks
2- Incorporate filter to the pipe network,

1 - was done few months back.
2 - Got some filters around the pipe networks already.

But was just told about a particular filter that can reduce the presence of sand in the water.

Thank you.

Richy4:
I haven't researched if people kill them or not... I only see such in movies..

But I believe many of the kids do live longer..and some of them grows to become volunteers in agencies and organisations that help raped victims.. . Because councilors have made them become better people in the society, they too inturn desires to give back.....

They don't just discharge a minor who did something like that for him to go back and become a threat to another person... That is why there are experienced juvenile court... And killing such kid might not be the best solution..

Mind mentioning just 2 names of rapists that are now volunteers running anti-rape agencies?

Adjovi:
LGBTQ person for a high profile prisoner? It's either the cases levied against him were not true because of her actually did what he was accused of by USA , then the USA I know won't release such prisoner.

Anyways we are watching.

Meanwhile sapa don dey Europe now too o, if you dey doubt me, ask your people living abroad (Europe) they will tell you as it dey go.

You already understood what happened. He was never guilty, else the swap.

Enddy50ty:
A Basketball player swapped for an Arms dealer..?


A convicted arms dealer who is directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people around the world.

When will Julian Assange be free..?

Read it again "attempt or attempting". Not supplied or caught supplying.

The cold fight between the Americans and the Russians didn't start yesterday, so anything to paint each other black.

Slawomirr:
Damnnn niggarrrr
Merchant of death

See name
He clear say all Americans lives matters imagine dey swap this kind swap
This swapping equation nor balance at all

Dey swap merchant of death for one small girl
I was expecting something like "merchant of dead"(a Russian) swapped for "the man from hell A.k.a the dead don't die" [ an American]

America told you all these about the man and you already swallowed it 100%.

Same way they said Hussein had MAD and Gaddaffi was killing his people?

if government enforced sanitation laws in the markets I bet you all the markets will be spic and span, something as simple as sealing up any shop that has a dirty sorrounding,you will see that all traders will take it upon themselves to clean up Thier sorroundings,not because they enjoy doing that,but because of the fear of having Thier shops sealed,the same thing applies to streets and compounds,if government had people going around the streets and compounds and sealing up houses with dirty sorroundings,then a lot of people will be clean by force.the government does not care,and that is the reason the citizens don't care either.

It's the government that's teaching individuals how to be hygienic and clean? Continue, government will come and teach you how to even poo.

udomonday:
why is North Korea a country with almost zero crime level?is because the person that wants to commit a crime already knows what awaits him,what about China, Malaysia and other countries that make laws and enforce them to the later.by default,humans are prone to crime but because of the checks and balances of the law,and a good conscience people have a second thought.the reason you see Nigerians in jail abroad is that they believe that they can take Thier lawlessness and criminal mindedness that they so much revel in at home abroad,by the time they realise that other countries enforce Thier laws to the later,they are already in prison.if the Nigerian government was enforcing Thier laws and dealing with criminals the way it's stipulated in the law,they will be less crime and lawlessness,the people that are lawless and indesciplined are just exploiting the weakness of the government to enforce laws,how do you explain a scenario where someone will just urinate on the street and a law enforcement officer will even join him to urinate instead of arresting him.some will commit fraud and is brought to the station and before you know it he uses part of the money to settle the officers and he is set free with charges dropped.lawlessness and crime and indiscipline will always thrive in a place where people are not made to pay for Thier crime.the best way to tackle crime and other vices is to make the criminal pay for his crime no matter how highly placed in the society.this will serve as a deterrent to other intending criminals.

When one of your former leaders tried this, didn't you all call him names and labeled him a tyrant?

Of all the countries to use as an example, it's North Korea you saw. This goes to show the level at which you will run from responsibility just to blame the government.

You want government to start beating, shooting or jailing people for not keeping their environments clean?

Is this how the rest of the world apart from North Korea are doing it?

Please, kind something else to justify why you run from taking responsibility for your dirty markets.

Hello house.

Please, for a treated borehole sending water with some particles of sand from the reserved tank to the main tank, what can be done to eliminate sand from getting to the main tank?

To the few plumbers we have on this thread and to the knowledgeable ones here.

Thank you.

faceland:
Who are his referee? Why did the CSO allow him to get the job.

Too many redflags.

udomonday:
the leaders make the place clean and spotless and the people just carry on the trend because it's inherent in them,but in Nigeria the leaders don't give a damn and the people don't give a Bleep either.

Fallacy. I know we are good at always blaming the leaders without taking any responsibility.

When a market is built, it's always clean and in order, few months into it, the occupants turn it to trash.

Do your research, go and check new markets now, take pictures, then check back some months later.

Same with court houses
Schools
Etc.

A cultist as a security guard?

What is he securing?

Is this not a security threat in the first place?

Are they people you guys are protecting not already exposed from the inside?

ZUBY77:
At the Doha Fish market.
I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the place.
I wonder why our leaders don't see such things when they travel

The people that use the market are the ones that keep it clean, not their leaders.

If you doubt me, check the Japanese and how they treat their surroundings individually.

Farmsponsor
Agropartnership
Farmfunded
Eatrichfarms
Greeneaglesagric
Farmfunded africa

And their likes made news like this too especially Agropartership, even got featured on CNN.

Lastlast, they all turned out to be scammers running away with billions of naira.

Investors are still licking their wounds with some struggling to recover.

These glorified yahoo Boys and Girls dealt with alot of innocent investors.

Don't let the media deceive you again!

Dsalvo:
A smart and analytical guy who knows to ask the right and logical question. OP has not read the policy properly.

POS operator cannot operate a cheat mode because they are hampered by the policy just like everyone else. When a card has done a 20k ash withdrawal limit then that is it for that card and user.

It ode not matter how you collect the 20k. Whether ATM.or POS, when you reach the 20k daily cash limit then no outlet will give you cash whether POS operator or ATM.

We should all learn to study the minute details. If the point of this is to encourage the arrival of a cashless society then why would technocrats be stupid enough to allow the very obvious bypass OP is talking of?

Everyone can read the exhaustive allowances and guideline of the new policy below so we do not become peddlers of misinformation. .

https://dailytrust.com/new-naira-cbn-limits-withdrawal-from-banks-to-n100000-per-week-n20000-daily-through-pos/

Then register your POS as a Ltd and enjoy higher limit.
20k per day is for 'individual POS'.

Cashless policy is here to stay.

BATified2023:
so how will the Pos guy withdraw from d bank since he can only withdraw 20k a day?

Don’t forget if u have 15 accounts n it’s linked to just 1 bvn u can only withdraw 20 from d whole account or he enters bank n they charge him 5k for collecting 100k

How will he make gain?

Don’t u know with the new policy,cbn is encouraging savings n discouraging withdrawals

POS is supposed to register as a business so their limit should be higher.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Now, how will POS guys survive? This is not fair to the common man

This was never supposed to be a form of business in a working society in the first place.

So it's like saying how will Okada rider survive when they were not built for commercial transportation in the first place.

Abnormality has taken over alot of things in Nigeria.

Mrfksb1:
How about old people? I live in LA how will my aged parents withdraw when I send cash to them? Please I need some answers


What kinda shithole country is this for God sake making people suffering unnecessary

I really pity those living in Nigeria

How much in total does old people withdraw in LA you live in?

Cashless policy is in full force in the US.

People will surely adjust.

segcymoor:
Mobilisation of steel panel for formwork...

Good job engr.

And they are still protecting the identity of the so called "US intelligence".

Why didn't they mention the liar's name?

The current coach is the worst of them all.

lexy2014:
Which one of these questions is too difficult to answer?

Is it only his reelection i stated in my post? How am I concerned about his reelection? If I am concerned about his reelection, how should that be your problem?

I understand.
Hang in there.
