At least 13 persons have escaped death following the collapse of a two-storey building under construction in Calabar, the Cross River state capital.

The tragic incident Sunday Vanguard learned occurred at Muri Nta Eke Street off Ikot Eyo on Saturday afternoon as workers were trying to complete the second decking of the building.

Confirming the incident to Sunday Vanguard, Cross River state Commissioner for information, Mr Eric Anderson said that 13 workers were at the site before the incident but only 10 were there when it occurred as three took a break.

According to him: ”The people originally working at the site were 13 but three of them took a break before the incident, so only 10 were on the ground when the building collapsed.

“We can account for the 10 persons but the security guard told us that a boy was seen at the site seconds before the collapse.

”So we are here with our equipment to make sure we get to the bottom of the rubble, it is obvious that the contractor who happens to be the owner of the structure was also the site engineer and building engineer and all.

”He is a known person, he owns a hotel (name withheld) at Nsemo Street in Calabar, I have contacted him severally but he has refused to take his calls.

”From what we have seen so far at the site of the incident it is obvious he used substandard materials for the project. The mixtures, the blocks, and the iron rod used were all substandard.

“I’m also aware that the Ministry of Urban Planning and Development had written to him four months ago to stop building but he has been evasive, with this his details will definitely be made available to security agencies for due process.

“We are trying to get to the bottom of the rubble to make sure the boy is found, until then we will remain at site, we are also using this opportunity to let other illegal builders know that it’s no longer business as usual.

“We know it takes a rigorous process to get demolition approvals but we will take such stance to the next level and ensure that nothing like this ever happens again in Calabar and Cross River as a whole,” Mr Anderson said.

My judgement;
Liyel Imoke should be arrested asap, while the engineer should be stoned to death wherever he's sighted.

did they used dust to mould those blocks?

It breaks my heart to hear/see building collapses here and there. These things can be avoided. Firstly, aviod quacks, they come cheap but the aftermath effect can be very devastating, do proper soil test, follow structual specifications if it's a storey building, don't compromise on quality of materials no matter how tempted you're, there are also building laws and guidelines to follow which must be adhered to. I pray for quick recovery to those who are injured.

Nigerian engineers are very useless my brother

Sad.

One of the reasons i never practised on field..
Our society is so overwhelmingly corrupt...
Our today's engineers are just not too good..

Peace..

We wake up to bad news each day in this country, why is it so?.

Everybody na engineer this dayz.

You can imagine. Only one man, contractor, engineer

God have mercy.

Why this story of building collapse every week?
Oniistha is where you have the highest number of upstairs in Nigeria ( if you like doubt it) but you hardly hear such story.
Please Nigerians learn to use qualify building engineers & stop gambling with the life of our local labourers looking for daily meals

Dangote cement has killed more Nigerians than natural disasters right 4rm it's inception!

Na me talk am, I no mince words!

It has been so from time immemorial.
How much did Judas sell Christ for again?

If you are building 2 storey building, mould your block yourself. Don't rely on those people who are after their own profit and mould nonsense out there

Clients prefer bricklayers who call themselves engineers because they are cheap. Their line to convince the clients is a couple pictures they snapped in an actual engineer site and claim they did the job themselves coupled with their low prices and clients would immediately give them the job hence the reason for incessant collapses.

Gh

We all need to do better in this Country.

Good afternoon Nairalanders, pls I need your advice. I’m married 28 years, no children yet. Newly wedded, I have a problem. I don’t last long on bed. I cum very quickly and it takes a long time like 4 hours for me to get another erection and most times it’s not very hard like my first erection.

I was told the nitric oxide in my body is low. Pls I need help. How do I boost my nitric oxide in my body or if there are any supplements let me buy.

I’m afraid if I don’t do anything now my wife might eventually cheat in the future. I no longer have my morning erection like some guys do. I have exercise, did ginger, garlic, bitter Kola nothing seems to be working.

What can I do to remedy my situation. Pls no talk of hospital health wise I’m very okay. No diabetics or anything no infection pls help me so I can save my marriage and my myself.

Very pathetically pitiful that I didn't see the most Healthy Solution to this Problem despite my reading most of this Threads. This is why many men have been dying young recently, drugs to impress female.

The most Healthy Solution is for you to know that Man was not Created to alone do all the Works of Sexual Activity while the Female so Selfishly and wickedly lay like a Log of wood waiting for you to hump yourself to Death in trying to Satisfy her and stabbing you in the Heart by calling you a Weak Man just for not taking Drugs that allow Demons to take Control of you Mental Faculty. You have started the First Part which is Daily Exercise which would also ensure your Longevity, the 2nd is below.

After pre-intimacy when she has become very Hot, ALWAYS allow her to Climb on top of your Wonder Staff of Authority and LET her Start the Thrusting up and down while you lay down and as disinterested as much as possible. Always insist that she Satisfy herself on you for the Minutes and Hours she wants even when she Complains of being tired tell her that you are enjoying it and she should Continue.

By the Time she has become very weak, you can then put your finger on her Clit as you rub it and another hand on her Nipple and tell her to still Continue thrusting up and down. This would make her to approach Orgasm already. By the time you finally Turn her to now start your own Thrusting as you Target hitting her G -Spot, she would Orgasm and cook the Best food for you that day as her Champion and lord.

ALWAYS Remember, DON'T Ever take Drugs to satisfy anybody! You will be killing Yourself small small and cutting off Years from the Ripe Age that you have been Destined to Live on Earth if you depend on Drug as your LORD and SAVIOUR for stupid myopic self-destructive Sexual boasting.
