gbengapro: I thut u guys claimed that that ''flower planter'' was the best governor in this country? That guy is a disaster waiting to happen. No, its already happening! Can you imagine the billions spent in planting flowers and breaking houses? destroying markets and re-arranging media hips? |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by tpiah: 7:28pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
this is the road. If you have eyes, look at it very well. @ chosen04 does the sight of flowers hurt your eyes? You prefer seeing overflowing gutters and trash heaps, right? I'm sure if they ask you how many flowers you've planted in your entire life, the answer will be zero. |

^instead of panicking, an educated person will look at what went wrong and analyze the soil. that's why oyibos always seem to get sense past nigerians. |

Only God knows how much the contractor collected to build the road and now one rainfall the thing collapse - Why Why Why - what happened to international best practices on road building. I suspect the contract was given to an Area boy turned civil engineer with 2 tippers, 1 caterpillar and 100 labourers with shovel and rake. In the western world before a road is constructed the foundation is strengthened with pure concrete and metal casing rods and definitely not with CLAY SOIL. I just hope Eko Atlantic is not built with this kind of foundation. |

What causes sinkholes? A sinkhole is a large depression in the Earth's surface, often shaped[b] like a well or a funnel[/b], that can be up to several miles in diameter. Sinkholes are most common [size=15pt]in limestone regions.[/size] Underground layers of limestone can be dissolved by groundwater or by seepage from above-ground streams. http://www.enotes.com/science-fact-finder/earth/what-causes-sinkholes I have seen a number of sink holes they all look round - The lagos one is not round and is not in a limestone area it is simply substandard work |

Answer the question fool - Is that part of Lagos a limestone area. This damage was not caused by A river bursting it banks it was caused RAIN for goodness sake or maybe they did not budget for drainage system - bloody shoddy work. |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by tpiah: 8:28pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
blacksta for goodness sake stop this embarassing tirade. a river bursting it's banks or flooding caused by heavy rains- isnt it still water involved? |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by oderemo(m): 8:30pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
I guess you were praising me when you uttered "paddy-lo and babapupa will fix that road" praise you? your ego is now Atlantic Cry baby, don't dish out what you can't take. i am objective, analytical and fair in my in my comments., but will not stoop low to name calling which is butter to bread for you. |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by blacksta(m): 8:32pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
tpiah: if it is were a river that busted it banks then no problem but for Rain that you are expecting dont u think a drainage system would have prevented the unnecessary havoc - it is still shoddy work. which is common factor in Nigeria |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by tpiah: 8:36pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
^^the drainage system can either prevent or aggravate sinkholes. all this info is on wiki. nobody is saying lagos has a perfect drainage system, but sinkholes are also found in other places besides lagos, including the western world. the issue here is why join the likes of gbengapro and chosen04 to rain curses on fashola. those two [and forpeace, etc] are exercises in idiocy and nobody in their right mind would consider them anything but clowns. |

Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by AloyEmeka8: 8:44pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
This is not only seen in Lagos but across Nigeria because our POLITICIANS/LEADERS take kickbacks thereby forcing contractors to invest only 5% of the amount billed for the project on it. For those posting pictures of sinkholes in the West, did they even ask for the ages of those roads?. Must we measure all our failures with the west?. Can't we set the pace sometimes?. Looking at the one in Lagos, one can easily tell that they were built with a substandard materials. The road is not thick enough to withstand common harmattan. I don't like the idea of abusing Fashola tho but he should make sure he probes the project and hold the contractors accountable unless he has skeletons in his cupboard pertaining to the contract. |

Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by babapupa: 8:55pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
Aloy_Emeka: lol @ construction engineer. So from where you're siting, you are able to tabulate the technical details and the quality of the materials used? What's age of the road got to do with a natural occurrence and sinkholes is not limited to the west. What pace would you like to set about a natural occurrence. This is just another illiterate thinking and utterance. |
Re: Collapsed Lasu-iba Road: Another Brf Failure by oderemo(m): 8:58pm On Jul 15, 2010 |
@babapupa i better ignore you. i like fashola, i have friends that wine and dine with the geezer VERY well. he is trying his best, but i have the opportunity to look critically at events when they unfold in lagos and drop my views once in a while without being called nutter and illiterate by the like of babapupa and paddy-lo. damn. |
