The 21-storey building that collapsed today at Musikiu Junction by Gerard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, was sealed by the State government last year to "prevent calamity".

Unfortunately, it appears the building was later unsealed and construction continued until it collapsed today, November 1, at about 2:25 pm.

In July 2020, it was reported that Sanwo-Olu had sealed the Gerard, Ikoyi high-rise.

Perhaps this is an illustration of what I mean when I say Nigeria's main problem is disorganization of which absence of continuity is part. Authorities, rightly as it has turned out, determined that unsafe practices had been carried out and consequently , quote, " building site -was-sealed-by-governor-sanwo-olu-a-year-ago-to-prevent-calamity". So far, excellent; however, it looks as if lack of organisation, resulting in discontinuity of the monitoring process allowed the owners/investors to proceed with construction behind the back of authorities. An organised society is a relentlessly persistent one, authorities are not permitted to rest on their laurels.

Authorities cannot one day go and clear the infamous market overrun by thieves, dust their hands in satisfaction at a job well done but never return to ensure the market dose not spring up again or leave measures that ensure the market won’t ever return. Nigeria practices Nation building and leaving instead of Nation building and running.

If Nigeria had Maintained since independence, Nigeria’s subsequent wealth and affluence today would (as happens in the West) comfortably accommodate current levels of corruption and ethnic bigotry so that the people would t even notice it in their average lives. The amount of magnificent business I’ve seen started and grown in Nigeria then abandoned by owners that prefer to enjoy the wealth their business gained them instead of expanding them, no be small

the owner should be jailed for murder intent, I don't know the word to use but how can a sane person go ahead with what was sealed.

Nigerians and their act of wickedness.

Heads will surely roll for this


This is unacceptable

Are you sure ?
To me, nothing will happen. Lasg will do nothing. This I promise you.

However, it is sad that, buildings will continue to occur more and more as long as we have corrupted and greedy people in the corridors of power both in government and private sectors.

People should be prosecuted

Whomever is behind that nonsense


The building was flagged yet some
Crack head have the guts to remove the flag and do nonsense

allcomage:
They should have demolished that time because with time the developers will settle authorities concerned and continue with the project.

We all know it that if government dimolished the building then, many citizens would have called for the their heads claiming that the government is wicked

Omniman:
$5million just collapse just like that

Haba! Cool down nah! Insurance company will pay up!!!
