.Nigerians with substandard materials


corruption left, right and centre


House wives are not left out, some greedy and dishonest ones inflate prices of their transaction to rub their husbands


building inspectors will rather have a kick back to make approval with out visiting the site
.

Govt officials will not award a contract without a certain percentage in their pocket

.

is it only substandard what about quarks up and down parading themselves as engineers? builders calling themselves engineers.. Just look at how money has just been wasted here. this roof alone would have cost nothing less than 3m+ and I have always said it before, Parapet is too heavy on buildings. I bet my left arse that the weight of that parapet would have been a 4% chance that building came down. The worst thing now is that this whole building has to be bulldozed because there is nothing to fix here.

Wow! The owner's village people at work. Collapsed after roofing? It must really hurt.

dig deep where did the owner got his money ?

In this case, this building lack structural design and detail. main looking at building i observe that the compression resistance which is concrete is very weak and the size of reinforcement is too small to resist the dead and impose load of the slab and beam. some times settlement can cause this situation under foundation problems, sometimes we forget the condions of deflection which is the longer the span the maximum deflection.#Blder Stephen#

But the authorities had already indicated on the wall that they should stop construction

It's not necessarily the building authority that wrote it.

Omo onile wrote stop work on my site in Ibadan.

An interesting observation Sir.

SHALOM!

I am not an architect, but surely a building of such a size requires STEEL REINFORCEMENT?

How can mere CONCRETE be enough?

alobright17:
No approval was given at the site??yet the house has been roofed ,did they not noticed the building all this while?

Maybe that's why the State Commissioner is taking full responsibility or ehmmm..... is it he knows the owner and will get the state to rebuild the house?

Some DAGOTE cement is. Not good

Hmm
You ll see a typical doctor on TV insisting "... dont self medicate. Its dangerous. Only buy drugs from a registered pharmacy." Blah blah.
Meanwhile, that same doctor ll never get an engineer/architect to supervise his building project. He ll rather do it himsrlf and later brag of his DIY skills n multi tasking "engineer without certificate" ability

Professionalism in nigeria is largrly bastardized. When its your profession on the line, you remember how people abuse it, but when its other professions, you insist that "our universities only produce half baked graduates"

Our bane is sentiments

Lol. "Looking at the building" you came up with all these deductions..? I wonder what you ll deduce when you actually go to the site n run forensics. Lol

ohil:
We already know is for rituals. Ladies beware retualsm has been digitalized.

when will you have sense

Good for the owner. Now he will now demolish the whole building and start from the foundation again. Tell them to give house building contracts to qualified builders, they will say no. Tell them to use quality materials, they will refused only to finish the house and innocent ppl will be killed at the dead and quiet night.

Thank God no body died

Lol. I just dey talk my own o. I know that parapet is pure concrete and its heavy on the building and i dont like it.

The problem with Nigeria is that soon we will find out that the owner of this building is highly connected otherwise why will the commissioner come out to say that he is taking full responsibility for the collapse. Yeye dey smell. Soon dem go die the matter, even if somebody die there.

For sure. I already talk am. Maybe Na the Governor himself wey own the collapsed building sef.

"Although, there were no casualties but some of the workers who arrived at the site earlier sustained serious injuries."??

This kind grammer sef

Am not surprised. Buhari should spread his fight against corruption to the parastatals. Soon the commissioner will be demanding bribe from every builder on that street like police checkpoint Show me ya particulars.

So one those fine new buildings @ Nkponkiti no strong.

The brother is probably fronting for the governor himself. That's why that commissioner is taking full responsibility. Na wa for this country.
