erico2k2: I understand your frustration but I think empathy for our fellow men/women is more important that the convenience to enjoy the thread without N3xt’s unending interludes. This is the only thread where anyone would even come close to learning about the atrocities and it is important that these stories are documented. Start a campaign for a scammers’ list so that N3xt and all others can be properly recognized. Then it would make sense for victims to create separate threads which would be linked to the entry on the scammers’ list. Without that scammers’ list, there is no other thread that even comes close. 5 Likes |

erico2k2: If you read what I said, you'd see that I only came here to debunk the misinformation he was sharing. Leaving him to post without challenging him would have done me and other potential people a disservice. He should have been the person you should be shutting up, not the victim. All the same, just let it slide. Same to Vanbonattel. Abeg. 3 Likes 1 Share |

MMotimo: I have the number of LadyF if you want but should be on her ID. She's also a merchant like myself and has a website. https://ladyfexchange.com/ All the same, it's actually off topic and no need stressing further. If you got something different from "resolved", open a thread and tag me. 4 Likes 1 Share |

PrinceLat: Like earlier said by twinskenny the normal cable for 3-bedroom flat excluding the fence light is as follows 1.5mm Red. 4 Black 3 Green 1(for traveller i.e 2-way switch) 2.5mm Red 3 Black 3 1.5mm green for the earth 3. Reason for having 1.5mm green 4-coils. My concern for the 4mm cable. Why can't your electrician buy the require length in yard or meter for the colour code instead of using the same colour code for LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. The 10mm cable is okay Go for original Coleman as instructed by Kenny. We have alot of fake cables in the market. Copper coated is common these days. Wish best on your project 2 Likes 1 Share |

somehow: I don’t do phone calls but if you’d like to ask her to respond to my post, that would help. If things are as you said, I will personally reach out to the Mod in that section to modify their post. Reputation is important and you shouldn’t have left your name on a list like that. |

MMotimo:Realistically no one can stop anyone from complaining, its just when it goes on for like 4 pages it then begins to look as if it is nuisance when infact someone is losing loads of money however I feel the pain of Op cos I have been there B4, hence I decided to try the DIY method on my now build. The best way is this. TAKE [b]MATTER TO COURT[/b]that is if you do not have Egbe wagers.Someone done that B4, its in vanguard newspaper. 2 Likes 1 Share |

erico2k2: You and I know Naija courts are a joke. You only end up spending a ton more and there’s no enforcement of the judgment unless you are talking billions and even that still takes years. Add that to the corrupt judiciary and police, it’s just throwing good money after bad so simply put, it’s not a viable solution, only sounds reasonable in theory. N3xt is fully aware of this loophole. The scammers’ list has worked quite well in the business section despite how comparatively lower their scams are in naira value. The scammers list is not a court judgment but it’s an alert to warn intending spenders. You don’t even need to name it “scammers” call it a warning list, an alert list, caveat emptor list , etc, etc but at least, have something stickied to provide warning. With that, intending spenders, new and old, at least, have a database to refer to and we can then refer them to it if they come on here. I’m bothered that somehow went ahead with n3xt despite knowing his history and I still can’t fathom why the QS would even recommend someone with such a reputation but my church mind reminds me that even Jesus forgave us all our sins. In the end, we cannot fault the kindness of someone who gives a disreputable person a chance, aggravating as it is. A few months ago, I echoed the need for an active Moderator(s). I don’t know how a section that records hundreds of millions in naira can have no active moderation. 1 Like |

MMotimo:I agree with the Scammers/warning list, however at this point I would like to think the aggrieved persons should create and start it.Im sure we have up to 10 persons on here.The courts are a joke but what hope is left then? you see this is why I do my work in bits, once I get to 9ja, I open the door, we do the bit I can do, when holiday finishes, I lock up put keys in my inner pocket, I nor fit shout.No free money abroad. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

erico2k2: I agree that it makes sense for the aggrieved to push for that list, after all they are the ones who lost money but if they are not doing that and we don’t want them on this thread, folks like you can push for it too. I know people who do their work like you do - activity only occurs when they are around and I don’t blame them. “Big boy big boy” has run many into bankruptcy abroad. I detest obtaining someone under false pretences and my own is extreme because it does not matter whether it’s #1 or #100 million or whether it’s executed or attempted fraud. I was raised in the Naija of when every kobo was respected so I have no concept of “small money.” Every kobo of a person’s sweat is important to me. Anyway, I’m going to stop posting now. N3xt has gone silent, we hope it’s because he’s working on further presentations about his matter because this issue should not die. A lot of docs and details have been brought to light and smart people are watching and waiting to tell us what makes sense. |

Iriruaga100:I am what God has made me to be today, not by being foolish. Building a house is like a journey, it takes the mercy of God especially in Nigeria. Let me tell a little story about my current project. I wanted to have sense and that made me to go the owner provides materials route. Do you know that the contractor used 150 bags of cement (he actually used them ) for a German floor that the QS esitimated 90 bags. Even the decking that was supposed to be 400 12mm , he requested for additional 130 lengths of 12mm. I understand, the materials all actually went into my house but that was an over kill to protect himself from collapse. The story is the same in most with of the builders. If I am to ever employ nxt, I engage him on kobo phases, nothing more. And terminate the contract anytime I feel like he is no longer performing. That way his gbase would be less. For those who would say they don’t have the time for that, soon that same time would be sent on Nairaland for complaints. I guide my hard earned money very well because a penny saved is a penny earned. 1 Like 1 Share |

twinskenny: I'm super grateful for this, and I'm assuming that the prices are ok since nobody contested it? topsy23: Thanks so much for this breakdown, you're a life saver, he talked about using tape to differentiate the wires (4mm and 10mm), but i very much agree with your suggestion about buying the required lengths with their different colors.... I'll pass it on,please what's the traveller....2 way switch thingy, i want to be really armed with enough knowledge when discussing with him, as the project is self supervised...... God willing, I'll be with him all thru the wiring........ Except he eats the wires I'll be there to see to it's usage Once again I'm full of gratitude. 1 Like |

erico2k2: I even showed him how Oga spyder880 was preserving decking wood to be reused, since my house has a penthouse that would need another decking, he said never. That it was going to give problem when plastering ( As far we know spyder880 has never had any issue plastering his deckings). But my contractor insisted until new set of planks were provided. Why I am telling all these? Building is a journey, just be prepared for all sorts of eventualities . 1 Like 1 Share |
