Meanwhile, Mr Maverrick is busy calling my wife since morning while we are here looking for resolve. undecided

And the next thing you'll see are the usual name calling posts. Aren't we supposed to treat matters as matured men?

1. Yesterday's call log
2. Today's call log

Thanks for your matured response, Brabus.

I would be SHOCKED that Maverick would/could still be making those calls to Brabus's Wife (l said "would" simply because l am trying to locate the DATE on those calls so l can confirm authoritatively, that they were made over TWO DAYS), after we have initiated this settlement.

I note that Maverick has also not commented on the proposal we are working on here. Is it that he is not aware? .... is it that he is not interested in it?

I want to make it clear that l am "neutral" in this matter and just want PEACE to reign..... the sort of Peace that is meaningful.


Can Maverick please comment on being aware of the proposal (l am sure he read N.Land regularly as well) .... and if true he has been calling Brabus's wife, over those two days (I am giving him the benefit of doubt here).

Having said that, l want to make it clear that Brabus is the one involved in this issue............ and NOT his wife!
I want to make clear that "Threat" over the phone to her "is NOT NICE", and that is me putting it mildly.

I dont want to say more than that, on it, because we are focused on settling matters and extended family members should not be included in the fracas, moreso they were not 'signatory' to the matter.

Maverick PLEASE desist on that route, let us seek an amicable solution here.

@ Excuzeme, you're still not getting it.

If I've given half truth to Maverrick, why was he processing his governors consent then? Why did he ask if settlement of the boys isn't included in what the agent was supposed to have done when the boys came to mark X on these site? He should have fight me dirty when he saw the X mark after paying such a huge amount instead of asking the soft question. Why did he have to send me the status of the consent? Why did he agree to scale down the building to reduce the processing fees?

I made it clear in my post that it'll be better to commence the approval runnings than to settle boys while knowing fully well that approval will eventually be done whether you liked it or not. So what trap am I setting? Except we see my proposal as not been a good alternative.

What would you have suggest that I do? Wait for the boys to come and ask for their price and settle them. Or just choose to be indifferent?

This is a case of I can hold forte for you while you get your documents together. Maverrick too never knew his consent processing will hit the brick, so how am I supposed to know that he wouldn't be able to produce the documents?

This is a messy situation and the figure we are discussing is not the big deal but we need to clear the air and stop compounding issues.

I understand the self eulogizing part but it's just what it is bro. It actually happened and not made up and I'm sure you'll definitely pick one or two good points from there to connect the dots.

Brabus, allow me to tackle you on the above:

I am aware that "IF", you are processing your "proof of ownership" (C-of-O/Gov's Consent) ..and because you need it to EVEN BEGIN the processing of your Building Approval (Approval wont even start without proof of ownership since no authority wants to give someone a building approval for a land that may belong to someone else shocked ) ... once the Proof of ownership application is in order and has been submitted, the Authority will ISSUE YOU A LETTER stating so, which is used to seek the Building approval.
That letter says that your ownership of the said Land is verified and the proof of ownership is under processing (it takes some time to be signed by the Governor) but that letter acts as a substitute and it is ACCEPTABLE for a Building approval.

- I have not read where it is written that Maverick brought such a letter (correct me if l am wrong).
- You said he sent you "status of the Consent processing? What exactly do you mean by "status", if not the LETTER that they issue, pending completion of processing of the C-of-O
- If he had that letter, which should have been attached to his Building approval application, then the application should have been successful.
- why did you or the "Approval guy" not demand for the letter? Instead, we hear that the Approval failed due to no 'proof of ownership' .... which you said was 'under processing'?

My deduction are that:
*Maverick may not be able to even get a C-of-O/Consent on that Land because HE CANT. (i read somewhere in your post where you said the land is on "Govt Acquisition"! Could that be the reason he could not get the LETTER stating that his C-of-O is under processing?

* All of you involved, know this ........ or Maverick knew this (and concealed the info from you, while telling you his "proof of ownership" is UNDER PROCESSING..... without bringing forward a letter to show such.


As to your first paragraph: Maverick and indeed almost everyone in Lagos, does those things! (Scaling down to meet statutory requirements).
Enforcement people will come and mark that "X", once you start development and they cant see a valid building approval. They then give you some days to come to their office and present it, if you have it.
If you dont, they seal the place up.... and in very extreme case, they may demolish, after getting a court order!.

I never said you are "setting a trap" for him. No! I said you are (maybe) protecting your own contract (since if the place is sealed, your own work also STOPS!) but what you did is also beneficial to the Client, that much we must agree on.
It helped the Client to continue building (and you too, to continue your contract), protecting against sealing-up, while the Consent is being processed.
But l think the Consent was/is grounded/stuck, ......once the land is on Govt acquisition. The Governor wont sign it.
Except you can show me the "status of the Consent" you referred to, which gives you the confidence that the C-of-O is actually being processed in a way that it would be successful.


I am saying you knew (correct me with 'proof', if l am wrong) .....you knew or you have an idea that he would never get a "GENUINE building Approval", ....... yet linked him with a fraudulent Agent who was not honest enough to say look, "What you are getting is just a PROTECTION to PREVENT DISTURBANCE, when you are building your house, but except you bring a "proof of ownership", you cant get a GENUINE BUILDING APPROVAL.
*That Agent swindled Maverick
*You introduced the Agent
*Maverick could not produce a Letter of Ownership nor a C-of-O, needed for the Approval


Most of the "good things" we are discussing here, were picked from your post so, a lot of good things came out of your post.
Maverick is yet to respond.
We are all waiting for his response.

Calculate current value of land the area plus N250k for the foundation done.

At that height they couldn't have used the following:

50 bags of cement
1500 blocks
1/2 ton of 12mm rod
8 loads of filling
1 sharp sand
And miscellaneous which shouldn't be more than 400k. So if you divide into 3 and take 2/3, you should have 250k or thereabout.

Let them understand your analysis and tell them the other option you have. Buying a land and doing your own foundation to taste without need for remedial work.

But if it's distressed sale, use your church mind price am.

Mr Brabus (Bosun) here we are again. The same issues keep following you around. Let me make this clear before I comment on your response. I have nothing whatsoever against you. For all I know you may be a smashing bloke. You may even be the next best thing since sliced bread but what is clear here is that your business practices leave a lot to be desired.

You may knowingly and even unknowingly have done this but one thing that is crystal clear for all to see is that you have misled your clients on a number of occasions with false pretences of being able to deliver certain things. Again these could have all been done to get things done (as is the case here in Nigeria) but please bro let’s call a spade a spade and admit there is a pattern here with your clients including myself of such activities.

Everyone here is aware of my experience with you on a few issues so no need dredging all that up. I will however say that this approval thing is not new to you.

As you may or may not recall we had exactly the same issue with you. Our site in question already had an approval for a certain type of structure but since we wanted to change it you agreed that you can get what is called an amended approval and for this you were paid 220k (no need for screenshot unless you insist). The comments on the bank transfer even state this clearly so our state of mind or expected outcome cannot be disputed.

You then provided signed (and somewhat) sealed copies of what we were led to believe were our signed approval (ope oooo).
When we realised that this was indeed a fake approval I confronted you via emails and also on here about it and your response was that we did not pay for approval but for clearing the way so that work can continue (your exact words).

Obviously we all know now that approval cannot be gotten without Consent or CofO which we did not have at the time so I guess you took advantage of our naivety/ignorance.

I know you mentioned a few times that you had to pay some fees to local authorities when they came to site. It could be even possible that you exhausted the 220k to cover these fees. I can neither confirm nor deny this as you never sent us any receipts.

I can also say that since we parted company we have had to pay fees to the local authority who disturbed us due to lack of approval. You will recall sometime late last year we spoke to you about this and you said it was not your concern but due to the fact that we had another structure. I even sent you the letter that the authorities brought and you said it was not issue. Fair enough we let it go.

I have not contacted you since then as all parties have moved on and made progress in their own ways. I did mention to you a while back that one day you will meet someone who is not ready to back down for you and in Maverick I think you may just have met him.

Now, I am not encouraging this drama to go on neither do I condone any threats/calls to your wife but sometimes we seek Justice in different ways when the RED midst comes over us. Oga Maverick please we beg you not to continue down this route.

Having said this, this guy deserves some kind of Justice. We can’t all remain silent while people lose out on hard earned money.

I am sure 400k will not affect Oga Maverick in any way as we have all seen what he is building and even Brabus always comments on how much money he has spent so far. I think he is driven by the principle of Justice. I am also confident that 400k cannot affect Brabus in any way as he seems to have a good thing going for him so why not settle this matter and let us all move on.

And before I forget Happy belated birthday and wedding anniversary



brabus:
@fyguy, the money paid is meant for approval. The guy agreed to do the approval but he said the client needs to bring in all the necessary supporting documents when they're ready so as to complete the process. Pls don't get me wrong.

The thing is the client want to build and I told him I won't want to have a face off with the government agencies which made me to ask the client to try and tidy up loose ends before moving to site. So in essence, it will mean it's a work in progress and not that nothing has been done and we are building without approval when the Lagos guys comes.

Yes, I realized this may be a bad pattern to follow but what I did was to avert paying huge sum for settlement when you can actually use the same to commence the processing legitimately. The same thing applied to the other guys you mentioned. The Lagos guys went to the site and the client never had to pay anything at the time they visited because I've already asked the guy to take care of it.

Now, coming back to tell me the approval was fake. Alausa has confirmed it fake is not something I can understand. The same guy did the approval for my site at Agungi and I never had issues with the Lagos boys and everything was cleared out when all the processing documents were complete. I can recall a Nairalander building on the same axis with me at Agungi calling to ask for how to go about it. I just forwarded the details of the guy to him and asked them to deal directly.

Now, if the best way to go is to leave all third party operations to client to deal with whoever directly. I think I'll do just that to have my peace. But I'm only acting as a broker between the two parties and more importantly protecting my clients interest while building the structure.

One thing I want the client to be sincere of is this. He knew I did all my best on his project and what made me mad is that he chooses to pick on my innocent self all the time and ran away from the real issues crumbling his project.
Will you ever believe that we spent almost 3 days to do the DPC of a house that's less that 340m2? Why?

The same way I told him about securing approval from the govt, I told him to offset Omo oniles so that we can work without disturbance. But even after paying the Omo oniles the sum of 400k directly by himself through his good friend who helped him purchase the land, the guy still come back at every MINUTE (even seconds) to demand for payments from the client and had to delay work and cause all sort of nuisances. Everybody involved in the payment were just playing games with the client and I told him why should you pay 400k to someone and still end up getting billed another 900k plus for the construction itself. This is insane. Something needs to be done about it. It was at this point that all the territorial powers in the dynasty ganged up against me saying that I am blocking their way. I ensured the client terminate his relationship with that his friend when he came to meet me right in the presence of the same me mavverick to ask for his percentage on the job that I was doing and I told him you can come and collect the job that I owe him nothing.

Too much stories but in all honesty I feel pity that mr Maverrick chose to be played by all the people he associated with and he feel good about it so long they are not related to Brabus.

Lots of accusations here and there. But here's the big question.

1. When material are purchased? Who confirms the quantity?
2. How many occasions did I tell him the granite been supplied to him is not 30 tons that 30 tons truck cannot get to the site?
3. The wood supplier keeps pressurizing him to buy woods to the extent that bamboo for the decking were supplied at lintel stage and I was like why the succumbing to pressure. Has wood become a scarce commodity? Problem starts when materials are kept without on site without a good goal keeper.
4. At a point in time, I got so mad that the man is loosing too much on materials because it's like he was been held down at gun point. I then told him to compare the estimates and confirm it everything is going according to plan. I even went ahead to tell him to recheck the expenses during the foundation stage when we managed the work viz a viz other stages that he managed. That was there any time we went over budget or come back asking for extras/variations?
5. What would mr mavverick have done when the officials came to mark X on the site if there was no prior arrangement? I'm sure we can read that there's no where he can claim to pay twice for the same thing here. Maybe, he will be happy to pay whatever the guy charged him and be happier for it so long it wasn't handled by Brabus. So refund is completely out of it if no money was paid to settle the boys during the period of construction.


As much as DIY is good, if you choose to turn blind eye to good advices, just consider yourself as another Moses leading the Israelites to the promise land. The suppliers will be happier for it.

For those who do not know, sand sells for 9 and 13k for 15 and 20 tons in the mining site. Every other cost is transport, profit and settlements. Isn't it fair enough to look for ways to cut excesses in other to avoid project overrun?

Trouble started looming when mr Maverrick is offshooting his target at every phases and I asked him if you paid the sum of money to me and I come back to you, what will you have done? He said I cannot do it because I'm not a Santa Claus and I told him. Yea, you're right but what he's doing is what I did for 3strike for N10m and we did all that was required of us without asking the client for any dime extra. No accusation of stealing whatsoever. I handled the payment of Omo Onile fee at 3strike site when the boys had turned themselves into militants and we never had to pay any extra till completion of works. If anything is paid to anyone, it'll be after I was gone and I knew that man (3strike), he will not pay any kobo.

Again, let me rest here. Mr mavverick, I'm not your enemy and I'm sure your main enemies will be happy the obstacle is pushed out but I'm happier for it and at the same time feel pity in the sense that you're living with enemies within. Sorry if you misconstrued my actions as a means of exploiting you but I've been there before you, walked the walk and not just talk the talk, so I know how it feels when you are paying too much and getting too little.

In real estates, there's no one to impress!

Oga brag3, thanks for the birthday wishes.

I would normally not like to comment on this issue any more to allow the thread for its intended purpose.

But here are few facts to take away on your issue.

1. I came out point blank to tell you that your building wouldn't require approval before I took the project and not after or during the course of the project. So you weren't misled and there was no time you were called back to come and pay any other sum of money for anything even when the officials came, I just called the guy I question to attend to the issue and it was cleared without your involvement.

2. Is there any time I discuss the approvals with you one on one or even the payment required for it? I may have forgotten but whether you believe me or not the fund I requested was not up to half of what you paid. Now, it may not matter what I did with the balance anymore because you paid me and not .... But it is what it is. And if only one can obtain call records from network operators, it would have been a perfect evidence in this case.
You're not there so you would never know if I didn't tell you.

3. That approval can't be gotten without C of O or consent isn't something I'll like to discuss here. But I tell you, airin jina ni ai ri abuke okere. Toto se bi owe. Let's leave that part for LAWMA.

4. I didn't deny that fact that I told you that the approval for your new building is not my remit according to my letter on 28/10/2015. Experienced have shown me to learn to say No when you need to say no.

5. There's never a receipt for backdoor operations.

Again, thank you for your time. Also as per Maverrick obtaining his money. I don't hold on to what is not mine but I asked a simple question in my posts. What would have done if you were in my shoes? Ask him to go ahead and settle the officials? Or get him to commence his processing and get the approval in process?

I've asked him to come with me to the office where they did the stuff. How hard can it be? How hard is it to set up a conference call and get everything recorded to substantiate his claims. He had direct link to the guy even though he's trying hard to convince the guy to say I'm a fraud. That's the reason why Alausa confirmed it fraud and not the office that was right in front of his house that have jurisdiction. I'm sure if the guy had said something of such, we will have seen multiple screenshots.

Baba, thanks for you time again.

Oga Brabus,
We wont go on too long with this.
The battle has long finished but if you claim that we did not need an approval then I don't understand

a) what 187K was paid for (even though the comments on it say for Building Change Order Approval and
b) why you furnished us with a fake approval with our architectural drawings ( or is this incorrect)?

I always promised not to come on NL for any of your matters. we have moved on so lets leave it here.

There will always be claim and counter-claim and we will end up derailing the thread so lets agree to disagree.

Apart from you,I and my siblings God definitely knows what transpired between all of us and he will judge us accordingly.

And miscellaneous which shouldn't be more than 400k. So if you divide into 3 and take 2/3, you should have 250k or thereabout.

Let them understand your analysis and tell them the other option you have. Buying a land and doing your own foundation to taste without need for remedial work.

But if it's distressed sale, use your church mind price am.
thank u for this.

Though the owner isn't giving me the exact amount he spent to make the foundation but from your breakdown and what I have in mind too, the foundation is BTW 250-300k.

Hopefully he can dance to my tune with my offer sha cos it's a good area with people already leaving there.

I just pray we shouldn't face financial problem that will make us sell our properties.

I really don’t want to be trading words with Bosun, but it will be rude if I do not reply to all the good peace seekers comments and totally ignore them.

What did I Pay for/made to believe i would get ? Full building approval as Bosun confirmed below, no facilitation payment/bribe.



Assessment without any official document, does a bribe come up with calculations like this ?




Was I told about any conditions, absolutely not. I was told full approval will come back in a week and I made it clear I dont have a consent yet.



What did I get ? A fake approval. So why the lies that an approval was never done. It was only fake, see some of the pages below. The figures on the pages, where are the receipts ??





Did I make other payments to others that came, yes on several occasions, environmental, council, some other group who Opeyemi said if we didn’t pay, they would cause us problems at Alausa.

Why all the irrelevant talk ? From Bosun to digress from the matter at hand.

As said, will do whatever it takes and I will ensure that Bosun and family are taught a lesson that he will NEVER forget.



Excuzeme:


Brabus, allow me to tackle you on the above:

I am aware that "IF", you are processing your "proof of ownership" (C-of-O/Gov's Consent) ..and because you need it to EVEN BEGIN the processing of your Building Approval (Approval wont even start without proof of ownership since no authority wants to give someone a building approval for a land that may belong to someone else shocked ) ... once the Proof of ownership application is in order and has been submitted, the Authority will ISSUE YOU A LETTER stating so, which is used to seek the Building approval.
That letter says that your ownership of the said Land is verified and the proof of ownership is under processing (it takes some time to be signed by the Governor) but that letter acts as a substitute and it is ACCEPTABLE for a Building approval.

- I have not read where it is written that Maverick brought such a letter (correct me if l am wrong).
- You said he sent you "status of the Consent processing? What exactly do you mean by "status", if not the LETTER that they issue, pending completion of processing of the C-of-O
- If he had that letter, which should have been attached to his Building approval application, then the application should have been successful.
- why did you or the "Approval guy" not demand for the letter? Instead, we hear that the Approval failed due to no 'proof of ownership' .... which you said was 'under processing'?

My deduction are that:
*Maverick may not be able to even get a C-of-O/Consent on that Land because HE CANT. (i read somewhere in your post where you said the land is on "Govt Acquisition"! Could that be the reason he could not get the LETTER stating that his C-of-O is under processing?

* All of you involved, know this ........ or Maverick knew this (and concealed the info from you, while telling you his "proof of ownership" is UNDER PROCESSING..... without bringing forward a letter to show such.


As to your first paragraph: Maverick and indeed almost everyone in Lagos, does those things! (Scaling down to meet statutory requirements).
Enforcement people will come and mark that "X", once you start development and they cant see a valid building approval. They then give you some days to come to their office and present it, if you have it.
If you dont, they seal the place up.... and in very extreme case, they may demolish, after getting a court order!.

I never said you are "setting a trap" for him. No! I said you are (maybe) protecting your own contract (since if the place is sealed, your own work also STOPS!) but what you did is also beneficial to the Client, that much we must agree on.
It helped the Client to continue building (and you too, to continue your contract), protecting against sealing-up, while the Consent is being processed.
But l think the Consent was/is grounded/stuck, ......once the land is on Govt acquisition. The Governor wont sign it.
Except you can show me the "status of the Consent" you referred to, which gives you the confidence that the C-of-O is actually being processed in a way that it would be successful.


I am saying you knew (correct me with 'proof', if l am wrong) .....you knew or you have an idea that he would never get a "GENUINE building Approval", ....... yet linked him with a fraudulent Agent who was not honest enough to say look, "What you are getting is just a PROTECTION to PREVENT DISTURBANCE, when you are building your house, but except you bring a "proof of ownership", you cant get a GENUINE BUILDING APPROVAL.
*That Agent swindled Maverick
*You introduced the Agent
*Maverick could not produce a Letter of Ownership nor a C-of-O, needed for the Approval


Most of the "good things" we are discussing here, were picked from your post so, a lot of good things came out of your post.
Maverick is yet to respond.
We are all waiting for his response.

@ Maverrick, thank you for helping me to make my point.

1. You were aware of the Oko Ado issue of no approval.

2. You were aware of the plan to go ahead to do the approval while awaiting your consent which you said it's not ready yet. Remember, I said beautiful that you have a consent in that chat. It means we asked you and you said it is still been processed.

3. I confirmed everything up to your consent number before asking you to make payment. If I didn't do all these then you have a point that you were not made to be aware of any conditions.

4. I even told you of the need for tax id of 3 years. I'm sure if you check your archives very well, you'll find those details.

5. That you paid environmental or local government had absolutely nothing to do with approval except that became a law just yesterday. The man you routed the environmental/local govt money through is someone I knew (he's still alive and not dead) so no need to bring that up. If you check your chat, you'll find the record there.

6. That there's no receipt. Yes, until you arrange to meet the necessary conditions. But let me tell you the approval you have is not a fake. Meet me up at the office. It's that simple. You can never have a receipt yet when all you require to start the processing is not in place.

Just had to quote the above so that I can add to the ever growing list of threats from you.


All these empty threats won't take us anywhere. Last year, you said you're going to Punch and Castles and I was just waiting for the good opportunity to be the next billionaire everyone is waiting for. Go ahead!

oga Brabus and oga Maverick,


can you meet up at a location or the council office to have this solve? at least the money was paid to someone....its better to meet face to face and solve this amicably... God will surely bless you both if you can do this and move on.

Thank you

@ Maverrick,

Just keep making your calls to my wife. Sorry she won't pick up because we already got what we needed from the first call. Today it was 7 missed calls between 8am and 11:20am

It's not my duty to expose the fake. In due time they'll expose themselves.
