All these cheap Togo,ghana artisans are not helping matters in this country while professionals well trained structural engineers are looking for work to do.
Nigerians should learn to achieve their plans once and for all.

Old structures that fail integrity test should be pulled down or sold off to minimize loss to d owner.

but d funniest thing is that, na those old, rusty, dilapidated, about-to-collapse houses them dey write "THIS HOUSE IS NOT FOR SALE, BEWARE OF 419" in full bolded red painted letters thats brimming in full glory.

I hope you won't be FTC, attacking the govt for demolishing buildings when they eventually take up your advice? Because I know how all this turns out eventually.

The fallen buildings are hungry and equally tired of the state of the nation. They now resorted to the option let's go and rest if only we will still have peace.

walking down the stairs of that house, decided to have a few mins pause for some meditation.
i heard that rattling sound, it seemed like a reptile crawling on the ceiling board, but wait! this house has a concrete deck and not a ceiling board.
i looked up and saw a thin dark line running across the white paintings on the roof deck, it was so fast, it moved like a thunder bolt accompanied by that rattling sound, the ceiling tore apart cry

i went into a brace up position as per lessons from helicopter under water escape trainings, i received series of blows to by back and ribs all coming from falling concretes and rocks.... the only thing that flash through my mind was ..... I do not deserve this ..... i could not even say a word of prayer nor could i have scream. The sounds from falling concrete and slabs was so loud, alas i heard a voice from the ground floor shouting ... wetin dey happen, who be that ? and it went all quite.

My brains and body came up alive, i dragged my bag and raced off through what i believe was still a stair case.

Not really. I see people asking govt to do this and do that. Same folks will turn around and say govt is demolishing and rendering poor people homeless. If govt start demolishing illegal structures, especially in Lagos, then half of Lagos building is going down.
