somehow: Exactly my point above! The approach is what we call “fix-along-as-you-build” approach. So you don’t expect such approach to fix anything. There’ll always be flooding, building collapse and failures because we failed to do things the right way. 1 Like |

somehow: Lekki Scheme II with 3,095 residential plots, 64 commercial plots, 47 mixed development plots, 26 institutional plots and 17 recreational plots; Abijo GRA and the likes. It has everything in place |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 9:56am On Jul 08, 2021 |
n3xt: So you are saying government built infrastructure before people started building there? The same Lekki scheme 2 and Abijo? Knowing the number of plots and their destination is not the definition of building infrastructure. Some areas in these places you just mentioned still suffer flood and traffic issues. One of my wife's bosses have a house around there. Had to move closer to escape the stress he was facing. Like I said, there is no area in Lagos in the past 20 years that Govt developed the infrastructures before people moved there. Not even a government known to be reactive than proactive. I rest my case. As for the blaming of home owners for building collapse, I will leave that to others to take you on. It's like blaming a patient outrightly for dying in the hands of a doctor who's supposed to be a professional after following all the advises of the doctor on an illness that's not supposed to lead to death. |

n3xt: So people should pulse their lives and dreams hoping on a Govt (at all levels) that only act when there are issues? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 10:03am On Jul 08, 2021 |
somehow: 1996 - date should be about 25 years ago. Lekki Scheme II was conceived 25 years ago and there has been infrastructure development there since over one and half decade. I mean solid road and drainage to individual plots. I did several projects there (several years ago) that I've showcased here. It's not a fix-along-as-you-build type of development. |

n3xt: People have been moving and living there before govt moved one tractor there. They still have flood issues. I am telling you 1st hand information from one of the residents, not story story. The man is even building an estates inside Abijo as we speak but moved away from that area. 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 10:20am On Jul 08, 2021 |
somehow: Failure is inevitable sir if we continue to do thing the wrong way. The roads will still get flooded when we chose to block the drain instead of building proper slab over the drains built by government. Obviously, you dont follow most of my builds here. We discussed most of these challenges many years ago. I was even found culpable in one of my threads. I blocked the drain with sand. Guess why? We were in a rush to get materials on site that we cant wait to build proper slab over drainage provided by the government. So we (myself and the client) agreed to block the drain. Shebi na temporary thing ni? Thats how flooding start. We are always in a rush that we no longer care about consequences of our actions. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 10:21am On Jul 08, 2021 |
n3xt: Should people not move to Ikorodu because government is yet to build major infrastructures? Should people not live in Ibeju because government is yet to complete major infrastructures? People are also indigenes of these areas, maybe they should have waited for government before settling there. One thing though, Nigerian government (state, LG etc) won't spend a dime on infrastructure on an area if the area is not inhabited and are facing huge infrastructural challenges unless they plan to turn it to an elicit habitat for their cronies. Kindly reply my chats outside here. |

n3xt: People build when they have the power, to wait for Govt before building is setting yourself up for homelessness except you're not interested in living under your own roof. Within 5 months, building materials went almost 40% up. What you should be clamoring for in my own word is for every individual building to check and study the town planning of the areas they chose to build in. Follow the dos and don't and ensure they don't flaunt their regulations. And also contract a responsible contractor /engineer that won't cut corners and then shift blames. Not to tell people to wait till eternity for a reactive Govt before they decide to put a roof over their heads. You will apply for approval, months later, you still wouldn't get approved. Just approval o. 1 Like |

n3xt: So a professional that is trained on building construction should be let go but a homeowner who entrusted his money and efforts on him/her due to the fact that the professional proved that he's a professional should be blamed? The homeowner who isn't the professional but followed all the advises, supplied the funds, didn't underfund, did not cut corners etc gets the blame? hmmm interesting way of thinking. Why then do you blame government or any politician as you often do on the state of affairs of the country? Why even blame Buhari for anything? 4 Likes |

The position of the master bedroom ( no adequate ventilation and safety) and the kitchen mba mba mba will not work in the 9ja environment safety issue Why is the one with a master bed a different set one might be able to design something that is a better fit. I have had a second look and it appears to be a 3 bed and a 1 bed please clarify as different issues come to play. |

n3xt:You’re right on this one there are many other estates like that, couple of them around Lagos. They have put infrastructure on the estate for the last 20 years trust me probably you’ll see 30 houses it was planned for over 3000 houses, because they knew government lands are secure. 90% of people buying those state lands we’re not ready to build anything, but buy for chicken change then. They have in mind to selling for millions a few years later, that’s why most of the place are not developed. Until government starts revoking all those lands for immediate development otherwise many of those areas will never developed. I remember Fashola did that @ Lekki face2 then. |

kopell: I agree development is kinda slow but 3,000 extremely large plots is a lot. You'd agree with me that's how development in a sane world should be. A lot of those hoarding the lands rushed to site when govt wanted to revoke their title around 2015..

somehow: Baba, remember I said don't take me too serious. This is the way I'd just be sharing my stuff. You're not compelled to take me serious. Some of us are shaped by the experience we gather from other people's mistake and then there are others who chose to be the other people we learn from. The owners of those demolished structures I shared above are here with us and I pray we never had to go through a situation where all we worked for will go down right in from of us and we will now be asked to come and explain how it happened for knowledge purpose. 1 Like |
