A three-storey building located at Sharks Squad, Abijo road along the Lekki Expressway collapsed at about 7:14 p.m on Thursday, October 10th injuring three persons.

The Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, said the collapsed building was under construction.

“The three people sustained various degrees of injuries and they have been
treated and discharged,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.

He said there was no death recorded, while officials are still working and monitoring situation at the site. He, however, said that the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LABSCA), as well as the Ministry of Solid Material Testing Agency And Physical Planning had been informed to do further investigation.

Hey yah

Inside life Issa Puta

Lagos and building collapse.

sad

When the foundation is broken, what can the righteous do? A clear depiction of construction done out of greed, poor planning and selfish interest.Thank God no life was lost!!!

Buhari wedding never start oooooooo.. we don dey experience bad things.

So sad

OP, it is Lagos State Material Testing Laboratory. NOT Ministry of Solid Material Testing Agency

@ op, I don't know what Nigereria's coming to; it seems the higher the buildings the lower the morals.

Where is d idiot arguing with me that Anambra has more building collapse on the thread with controlled demolition of a storey building on a flood Channel.

U claimed Anambra builders use low quality materials to build, even when I disagreed with Ur attempt to blackmail ndi Anambra, citing Onitsha with multi 5 - storey buildings that stood the test of time yet u kept arguing blindly.

What do u have to say now about Lagos known for frequent collapse, especially Lagos island?

The truth shall set you free

If the foundation is wrong, this is what you get.

The reason people get divorced is because the beginning of the relationship was not solid

Fink abourit

It's buhari's faults

The foundation is prolly weak!! This is as a result of bad foundation, no matter what you lay on a faulty foundation it will crumble right in your face! Even if you import the materials from Europe, if the foundation is bad then it’s a sorry case
Speedy recovery to the injured ones

This building just collapsed today wey Buhari wan marry, hope it's not a bad omen. I see collapsed marriage.

Aisha Buhari, it is well with you

I assume u have prior knowledge of this building before making these claims?

hu

This is serious, everything visible and invisible just they collapse 4 did kantry

Typical Ipob mentality...

That land automatically now belongs to lagos state government

you are right, probably poor foundation not built according to specifications........it's obviously a waterlogged environment hence proper raft foundation should have been used........I also hope the standard materials were used and procedures followed......now who is to blame?? Really sad

some land owners are always fond of opting for cheap and substandard materials, or either the contractor all in the name of making outrageous gains cut cost to an unreasonable extent!!

The collapse in Lagos is not as frequent as Anambra though


At least three news of collapse in Anambra before Lagos collapse

The @bolden part is the major reason most building collapsed in this country....

You may ask, how?

I'll tell you, I know you just GUESS/ASSUME the type of foundation not according to STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN of the building. Which is a typical behavior of Nigerian Engineers... They just guess based on their imaginary size, type and frequently seen structure.

Go to any construction site in Nigeria today, and ask for the structural analysis and design. I bet you, you won't get instead you will only be given the reinforcement schedule.

Just a single storey structural analysis and design can give you a report of over 150pages....

How many engineers can even interpret structural analysis and design report not to talk of creating it?

Na wao..God have mercy on us in lagos with this constant collapse..structural/substandard material/foundation problems etc

Why are you people always turn major issues to tribal?

This supposed to be a thread where young engineers showcase their structural knowledge by analysing the possible causes of the collapse in other to sell their careers.

I just weak for you guys....

You supposed to direct your frustration to the person I replied

And I don't think my comment is stopping you from dropping your engineer structural knowledge

Most engineers in this Lagos like to shortchange the right thing for their own benefit.

Of course, structural analysis is very key......besides I. am Not assuming, customarily , it is important to note that it is from the structural designs, soil properties of the land , and so on, that would determine the right foundation to be used......it's technically very wrong to just presume some kind of foundation based on prior knowledge or shallow-experience for a proposed project....it should follow
due procedures and specification............so don't get me wrong

GREATESTPIANIST:

Do you know how to perform structural analysis and design?
