He was in the building, according to unconfirmed reports

Prominent developer, Femi Osibona is the brain behind the collapsed 21-storey building which collapsed on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Monday.

The building under construction collapsed on Monday afternoon with many trapped and some dead.

Osibona is the developer of the massive project dubbed: 360 Degrees Towers on 44 BCD Gerrard Road, Ikoyi. The project represents three fine pieces of high-rise and real estate, being built in the area.

Two of the projects are still standing tall while the third one collapsed on Monday.

Osibona is the Managing Director of Fourscore Homes. He told Thisday in an interview in 2019 that Fourscore Homes is a member of the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) in South Africa and Zurich Building Guarantee in Europe, as part of the company’s presence overseas.

His company specialises in the building of choice properties in different parts of the world.

Osibona said. “We have exhibited our expertise in property development in the United Kingdom, South Africa, the United States of America and Nigeria. Fourscore Homes possesses uncommon capabilities in redefining property development in any market we choose to play in.”

On the first floor of the building is a suspended platform that serves as a recreational area where residents can unwind and hold a small party, if they wish. Also, there is a five-star lobby where residents can host friends and family members, without compromising their privacy.

The towers have various house types: Maisonettes of about 420sqms each on three floors; penthouses on two floors; and 4-bedroom flats on one floor, with each flat as large as 400sqms – almost twice the size of most flats in other developments in Ikoyi. The penthouses are about 600sqms to 800sqms.

Osibona’s company began its foray into real estate in the United Kingdom before branching out to South Africa and later Nigeria. In 2009, when Brig-General Buba Marwa (rtd) was the Nigerian High Commissioner in South Africa, Fourscore Homes built six luxury units called Fourscore Mansions in Waterkloof, a very expensive neighbourhood in Pretoria.

Osibona was also the first African developer to develop a seven-storey building in the United Kingdom. The property called Fourscore Mansion is located at 113, Albion Drive London Fields, E8, 4LZ, East London. Not only that, he was the first black developer of African origin to build other projects in the UK. The company’s real estate business started in Hackney, London in 1997.

Nigerians love to cut corners in almost every thing they do.

From getting admission into school..
to securing employment..
to executing tasks..

Yoruba Engineer

Mtchewwww. Just waisted pples life, u get conscience so?

Name and shame

Meaning what?

Nigerians keep showing traits of untrustworthiness!
Money over integrity and quality

Toxic capitalism!

Only God knows how much values we will have left with this idea of "make it anyhow" that determines how we do things. Imagine a high rise building of the sort, built in that substandard manner.

People should should spend decades in the prison over this.

Look at building sef, u wan build 21 story building and yet no granite visible in the picture, tower wey be se the main content need is enough granite, Steel and cement u no even need sand unless for the blocks but Na so so sand and cement unna dey use all cause unna wan gain and cut cost, unna no go die well

Wow, this is sad though

Look at his cone head
It can't even fit into the picture.

Sorry Guys, I can't help it. Lol

RIP to the dead.

now let's talk about how this man has ruined his life and put those that depend on him in untold hardship.

The land and every thing in it will be confiscated by the government.

Banks will come for his head and seize up to his last boxer.

The families of those killed in the building collapse will drag his dead broke ass across every court in this Nigeria.

And if he survived these and more he would be lucky to get a conductor job in Lagos.

Thank you all for coming to my TED talk

See his conehead

It’s a pity

Nigeria media and hitting a man when he's down. SMH
