we are happy that the building is still under construction. all these current landlords who build olden days sized kitchen as living room and expect to make their money back in 2 years. these new landlords built pens and poultries for humans to live. I pray all substandard building like this collapse before completion. no one needs to die

T.B Joshua did not appear before court when his grave caved in and innocent faithfuls died. people are still blinded. are you all not aware that T.B Joshua and Adeboye are not in agreement? do they serve the God that advised his servants to be in agreement? no! they serve a god of disagreement. they both call Jesus but they do not see each other. and to top it all, adeboye claims to be a humble man but he cannot make the first move to mend his ways with T.b JOshua. and adeboye is old and going to grave. do not deceive yourself thinking that adeboye will smell heaven. he will rot in the grave there for his deceitful ways and his love for money and mundane things.

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

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 agree with some of the things you said here. however, some buildings have concrete floor roofs yet they haven't failed. I think your statement that the roofing sheet type could be one of the causes of the failure is false.

I'm a civil engineer and i assure you that the bulk of what cause building collapses in Nigeria are not far from

1. No design or poorly designed buildings

2. Use of inferior construction materials

3. Employing unqualified professionals from design stage to construction

4. Poor quality control during the construction works

i will elaborate further on this below.

1) NO DESIGN OR POORLY DESIGNED BUILDINGS

I'll start by first differentiating between the architect's and engineer's use of the word "design". The word design from the architect's perspective is about beauty and function while for the engineer, its mainly about safety and economy. For the structural engineer, design is about finding the weight of the entire building and sizing the structural members (beams, columns, slabs, footings etc) to be able to withstand the stresses they are being subjected to. The structural engineer is also trying to achieve this in the most economical way by not making the sizes too big or putting more reinforcements (rods) than is required. Conversely, under-sizing and under-reinforcing the structural members leads to failure.

2 USE OF INFERIOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Oftentimes this is out of the control of the the client (owner) and/or his construction manager(supervisor) since their is no quality assurance from manufacturers for these products and the instituted federal body (SON) whose job it is to ensure quality control may be lax in their obligation.

The typical construction materials that could lead to building failure are
a. Cement
b. Fine Aggregate (sand)
c. Coarse Aggregate (chippings, gravel)
d. Steel Rods

3) EMPLOYING UNQUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS

This cannot be over-emphasized as it is the bulk of what causes building collapse. Our people say that "better soup na money make am". Is it wise that you plan to invest ₦5m, ₦10m, ₦20m etc. into your home or rental property and intend risking it all for "cheap"? Get a qualified engineer, architect, builder with street credibility to design your projects, then followed by a cost engineer or quantity surveyor for a detailed cost estimate( for cost control & budgeting). The overall cost of hiring qualified professionals relative to your project depending on its size can range between 5% to 10%.

how much are you willing to pay for peace of mind?

4) POOR QUALITY CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION

This is in most ways related to number 3 above as its skilled workers that can better deliver quality job. However, quality control during construction includes certain critical aspects of the job within the owner/clients control.

a. zero soil/geotechnical survey: a detailed soil test will reveal the type of soil available on site and its mechanical properties. by mechanical properties, it means if it(soil) can safely carry the applied stress from the building and what type of foundation is appropriate. It's the duty of the client to demand for and provide funds for this.

b. Nigeria inherently is a low trust environment and we all understand this. I've on several occasions requested for certain materials specifications only for the client to provide what another "expert" recommended for him which is usually lesser than is required. For instance, you could request for 50 bags of cement for concrete flooring while the client will provide 40 bags of cement and demand you complete the job with whats provided or you could request for 16 mm diameter rods and the client will provide 12 mm diameter rods.

Quality control is also making the design team different from the construction team and getting the design team to come to site for inspection on important occasions to ensure that their design specifications are adhered to.

Quality control could also mean taking procurement duties away from the site engineers/supervisors. If the desired materials are brought in on the site, there'd be more motivation for the professionals to avoid monkey practices. grin grin


Finally, are you about to start your dream project?
Do you wish to have a detailed cost breakdown of the project?
Have started already and you just wish to take it stage/item at a time? say parapet, lintel, "the German floor" or the foundation
And you wish to know the detailed costs and all quantities of materials required?
Well, look no further and contact me on whats-app 07033544353 or email frankitangltd@gmail.com
