All valid points especially point 4. Even those to interpret the results of such geological tests are lacking!

With the current changes in climate it's become even more critical.

Climate change contributes to Subsidence and erosion,

The most important problem construction in the east is proper structural designs, civil engineer materials like granite/gravel, construction techniques and poor quality control on the job.

For example, here in the north, you can easily get your granite from the quarry at a very affordable rate but in the east, you will have to go to abakalili (in Abia state), the cost of such granite makes home owner and builders to use very poorly graded alternatives that has too much clay. These alternatives will weaken your concrete and leads to very poor concrete that may not be able to carry the load intended by the designing engineers.

Secondly, most of the building are built without a proper structural design done by a qualified engineers, these buildings are built based on the experience of the builder of smaller structures, that is why most of the building collapsing here are three floors and above.

The problem with construction work in the east is as follows
1. Poor sources of materials for structural works, especially gravel/granite and clay free sand

2. Lack or very poor structural designs when building house of more than one suspended floors

3. Poor construction techniques when building medium rise building ( houses with more than two suspended floors). This is one of the major problem plaqueing construction works in the east, artisans parading themselves as engineers build houses without adequate frames

4. Lack of adequate geo technical test to determine the soil properties such bearing capacity and settlement rate.

5.finally, lack of adequate supervision by qualified professionals.

I have done some jobs in the east and I can tell you that structural work are neglected in other to safe cost or in some cases due to ignorance


These has nothing to do with East. Why narrow these Nigerian problems to east?

As a matter of fact, Easterners have Majority medium high rise building than most region in Nigeria due to land limitations and we hardly hear of building collapse in the East.

Go to Onitsha and see arrays of 4 storey building, how often do u hear of building collapse in the East?

The points u listed above are peculiar problems to building industry in Nigeria not just East

Because I am a coren registered engineer that has worked in the east and other geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

These problem are widespread but it is more pronounced in the east. Due to the fact that easterners build taller buildings than others and without the soil and raw materials like clean granite like westerners or northerners.

I have done jobs in onitsha and I can tell you from a structural engineering perspective that most of the medium high rise building are poorly built, they are like death trap, if such building were to be in Abuja or Lagos they will be mark for demolition

The engineer must be a yoruba man

A Yoruba man will find it nearly impossible to rent room in your state let alone be awarded a contract to design such a building.

Carry your load. You are on your own.

Oga you are equally talking to a COREN registered Engr with 2 Masters degree in Engineering.

I still maintain these points you listed are peculiar to Nigeria as a whole and not just East. There has been more building collapse in Lagos than other parts of Nigeria combined. I wonder what stopped the demolition of such buildings in Lagos before they collapsed if not Nigerian factor?

How many states in Nigeria have soil test facility and approval centre? Most medium high rise buildings in Nigeria don't undergo these processes and we know it, Lagos, Abuja inclusive except for high rise buildings like UBA house in Marina.

So your effort at narrowing the problems of building industry in Nigeria to East is flawed.

Poor foundations, weak walls coupled with the weight of the roof.

Expect to see more buildings with tiled roofs collapsing!

Our construction techniques and methodology need to be updated in line with the materials we currently use.

If the building had a zinc roof it wouldn't have collapsed.

I feel you bro, the engineer made a costly mistake or the owner had no plan to raise it that tall from the onset couple with the fact that the direction looks windy, if the second building has the same plan then it won't last 10 yrs undecided

I pity some muslims who have not taken time to research through the origin of their faiths. Islam is only 1400 years old. islam is the only religion that took off with sword and dagger. a religion that came to be by bloodshed. and yet they are still hungry for more. muslims have been indoctrinated to see the blood and heads of the people referred to as unbelievers as infidels.

muslims calls a convert a revert. to revert means to return to the former. islam is only 1400 years, so how can one revert to something that he never was? they claim that Jesus was not a muslim and he will return to become a muslim. so the word revert is an illusion. just as the religion is.


islams calls people who do not believe in islam infidels. a fidel is someone who is faithful. many of the people mohammed killed are older than islam itself. how can you be a fidel to something that never existed in your lifetime until you were killed. mohammed just killed people for nothing.
how can someone be an infidel to a religion that is an offshoot of the religion that you have been a part of. some jews were killed. their religion had been for thousands of years before mohammed was born. suddenly they became infidel. to what?

jesus came with sign and powerful work. he came with humility and the word of God. he converted many as a result of his works and teachings. his apostles were not related to his family. they came from other communities. mohammed did not convert a single soul with signs or teaching. even pagans refuted his teachings as absolutely fake. they saw through the line. that is why he took up the sword. ganged up his kinsmen (not converts or strangers) and began to slaughter humans created in the image of God. while Jesus asked people to drop the sword.

the question is, if allah asked you to carry out the vengeance and the killings for him, what then will be his work? you then become the allah because you are the one doing the killing of bad ones. your allah then becomes jobless. think about it. what really is the work of your allah if you do the beheadings and killings for him. it shows that he is powerless.

jesus came with powerful works and signs and he did not need a kitchen knife to talk of dagger or sword.

a compelling reason to prove that the islamic allah is false is the arab-isreali war. they all came inthe name of their allah, yet a tiny country like israel defeating all the arabs. where was your allah at the time? the battle against israel was in the name of allah.

think about it. how come all muslims hate israel. most muslims have never been to israel. they have never set a foot there but they naturally have a disdain for israel. a religion that teaches you to hate can never be true. love trumps hate.

all muslims are trying to get to a christian populated country. no matter how bad their country is, no muslim is trying to go to saudi arabia, pakistan or the wealthy kuwait to seek asylum. none of them go to china. and lybians and syrians are closer to china than to christian populated countries.

if religionists know the meaning of what they call crusade today, they will not use the word again. all these people shouting crusade upandan. go an look up the history book and you will see that crusade is not for christians. we have the islamic crusades. the muslims organised the crusades to spill blood. the catholics also retaliated with their own bloody crusades. crusades actually is a bloody encounter not an all-night praise and worship. using the word in that context is an insult to God.

if islam is true, why dont they allow muslims to listen to christians doctrines and compare the two. I mean, no church disallows their faithfuls from listening to ismlamic teachings. they see through it.

if you take woman away from islam, the religion will collapse. the gain is that the men love the religion because it affords them the luxury they desire with women. not that they love allah.

the religion always encourages inequality. for the rich to give peanuts to the poor. why not allow equality? Jesus encouraged rich people to sell off their loots and give away and follow him. he says that it will be difficult for rich people to get in. let there be equality that is what the bible says. those who have much give to those not having. there should be a balance.

any rich pastor is not a product of the word of God. Jesus himself said that the riches and wealth are distractions. you received free, give free. if a pastor has the things of this life, just forget that man. he is a con man. all these dem winners, lazarus and adeboye are con artists. they are not from God. fake things who come to serve the devil
