Nice move. Bamboo sticks are very strong and durable. It will last. House na house. After all na. Pako oyinbo take dey build their house.

yarimo:
But everyone is millionaire and billionaire in that side na

AfroBeatDiary:
The tension of those bamboo may not be as strong to iron but they will reinforce the concrete which will suffice for the structure. The man must be a structural engineer because you can't conviñce any one to try this if they person does not understand the science behind it.

KosiGee:


You are the one with no insights about what you are saying.

Bamboo have higher tensile strength than iron rods?? You should be arrested for this? Your certificate if you’ve got one need to be withdrawn. The man constructing this building should be banned from building sites.

Nyceguy92:

This is innovative indeed.

It will be a matter of time before we know whether the structure holds.

I think it will hold as I see the bamboos appear mature and cast close together. In the U.S for example, some decks are built with wood.

Below link corroborates the statement already made here that bamboo has a higher tensile strength than iron.

TUANKU:
I have seen this in Thailand and Malaysia before but it was for a bungalow though.
Bamboo is very strong.

HardBishop:

Mumu, ur black brain won't inform you that there are other silent billionaire there

FreeStuffsNG:

Don't misinform the public. I can figure out where you must have studied is definitely not among the top schools.
Here's an authoritative report on why bamboo has less tensile strength

Zeel007:
the person you quoted is absolutely right, just check google and rest baba. He his extremely correct. At first, I disagreed, but I check literatures, and discover bamboo is of better tensile strength than steel

In a rather unconventional move, a yet-to-be-identified man in Ụmụdiala village, Ezinifite, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, has taken a unique approach to construction by using bamboos in place of irons, to cast the decks and pillars for his two-storey building. The builder has gone against the conventional style, shunning traditional materials such as iron, in favour of bamboo in the ongoing construction.

A concerned resident of the area, Chief CKC Obiekwe, drew the attention of this reporter to the bizarre construction through a video currently trending on the social media — a testament that the first-of-its-kind bamboo-based construction in the area has gone viral online.

The video shows that while bamboos had been used in place of irons to cast pillars and lintels of the ground floor of the two-storey building, some portions of the first deck have also been cast with bamboos in place of irons, while the remaining portions of the deck and pillars for the second deck are also already constructed with bamboos, waiting to be cast with concrete.

Commentator on the viral video also revealed that this was not the first time the builder had employed such a method in the construction of his house. He is said to have previously constructed similar bamboo-reinforced buildings in Abuja and Lagos before bringing it down to his hometown.

Although sources described the builder as a wealthy man, this reporter, Izunna Okafor, could not reach him to confirm the prime motivation and reason behind the bamboo-centric construction. Some locals, however, quoted him as saying that using irons to construct house is not only expensive, but also a waste of money, given the present-day economic realities in Nigeria.

Howbeit, while some applaud the man's ingenuity and thriftiness, others express concerns about the long-term structural integrity of a bamboo-reinforced building, describing it as a death trap and a very risky adventure.

Reacting another resident of the area who pleaded anonymity said, “With this unconventional approach to construction now in the spotlight, it calls for attention from the relevant agencies to ensure that the buildings comply with the standard building codes.

“This oversight is critical to avoid any occurrence of building collapse, which could lead to another unnecessary waste of innocent lives, because the builder himself may not even be there when the building will collapse.

“The safety and structural integrity of such construction methods should be a top priority for all stakeholders in the building industry, especially given the high rate building collapse in the society today.”

DodadaKoKigbe:
Nonsense. There's NO Anambra man that can EVER complain about the cost of building materials. EVERY single Anambra man is a BILLIONAIRE in dollars.

Nice2023:



They are innovative to the core.


Shame on u.

There is no place in ur state in kogi that can be compared with that area in Anambra state.

And when it collapses, the government will be blamed.

Swaelyf:
research b4 you post nonsense, they are as strong as steel with the right quantity

tctrills:
Here is an example of a bamboo house in Asia. Bamboo houses are actually very strong.

shogotermies:
This is not new.
Always educate your self with information.

This is commendable and probably good.
But I’d rather suggest this for a one storey building or bungalow.

Funny enough, the tensile strength of bamboo is more than that of steel.
Let’s just see how everything goes at the end of the day.

Jewessgratitud3:
