Abagworo: RIP to the dead. I've still not been able to understand Igbo people's love for 4 storey building or there about. I've once been a critique of the buildings which is noticeable in most Igbo towns and villages.

4 storey building is equivalent to 10 flats, check d rent per annum then u will understand y every biz man in onitsha competes for a space to put up a 4 or 5 storey building. Some of them use d ground floor for warehouse and rent d 8 flats up. Its all business if u want build mansion u go to ya village and build woteva u like.

Sad...
Meanwhile, pls do something about the text censor. How the hell do you use the word "attention" for a building. E Re ction doesn't always mean arousal.

Accomodation problem is d reason why the people of onitsha build houses to the lenght of 4,5 and 6 storey. I stay in PH and u cant find such buildings which makes accomodation difficult over here. I'm sure a 2 bedroom flat @ onitsha wudnt exceed 300k per annum which is d inverse in PH where u are bound to cough out 500 or 600k per annum without agent fee and drinking money.

[size=17pt]Everything isn't always about tribe. Buildings have collapsed in Lagos,Kano,Calabar, Abuja,Warri etc. Everything isn't a tribal thing.

Why they build tall buildings?, is the same reason why they build tall buildings in places as Lebanon, Palestinian West-bank New York and even Japan.
LAND SCARCITY IS YOUR ANSWER![/size]

Any how,with the spate of collapsed buildings in the country, the Government must launch a war against adulterators of cement and importers of fake iron rods.
Re: Three Killed In Onitsha After Four-storey Building Collapse by Zadokk: 3:43pm On Sep 05, 2013
Hahaha a country where a builder will handle, structural work, mechanical work, architectural drawing, electrical work, ratio of cement will 7;6;9, the block industries will mould 1;50

Those things are not skyscrapers as they mostly range from 3 to 7 storey buildings. The major reason I criticized it then was that they lacked lift, water and power and are located in dirty environment. Anywhere you find such thing in Port-Harcourt, it looks kind of solid. Look at this one on Eastern bypass.
