Blossomfirst:
Highrise buildings are buildings with 20 or more floors.. I know cause am an architect
In igboland, two to four story building is an high-rise to them.

The International Conference on Fire Safety in High-Rise Buildings defined a high-rise as "any structure where the height can have a serious impact on evacuation" In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association defines a high-rise as being higher than 75 feet (23 meters), or about 7 stories.

But in igboland, any 2 to 4 story building is an high-rise cheesy

Below are what high rise look like

Onitsha will start building 20 to 50 storey buildings once 24 hours electricity is guaranteed to the city.

Right now they will limit it to 5 to 6 stories buildings.

This is common sense. You need reliable electricity to operate the lifts
You suddenly changed gear when you realized goofed.

We don’t care if you guys build 100 storey buildings as long as you don’t go about misusing words as if you are talking KG one kids.

To some extent it's true.Most high rise buildings in Lagos are along the road.Abi they get another one.Majority of Lagos buildings are along the road,apart from areas in mainland,most inner lands are fallow especially in island area's,those that have buildings are mostly duplex.I believe individuals own more story buildings in Onitsha than Lagos. Before you start arguing,igbos control building materials market in Nigeria (look at dangote highest customer always igbos,tiles,paint etc).Why is it like that?,that's because igbos prefer building their houses anywhere they reside Lagos to Kano to Anambra they build story buildings for residents to reside as their investment.

Huncle, your argument is baseless

No Nigerian state or city has high-rise structures like Lagos

From the emboldened, you changed the subject from the location of buildings to who owns them.

Mind you, I am also Igbo

Exactly. Attached below are sections of Yaba in Lagos and has far more of the kind of buildings the Op is showing off as 'high-rise'. Both the Op and the person you quoted don't know what they are talking about.

Please look at the international definition of highrises. It’s 75 feet/ 23 m or above which is equivalent to 7 stories or more.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-rise_building#

A lot of your guys were claiming it’s 20 floors or more which is very wrong.

So why are you shouting high rise before. All those old are storey buildings. No high rise in onitsha.

low-rise building is a building with up to four stories. A mid-rise building is generally between four to eleven or twelve stories. And a high-rise building is anything twelve stories or greater. Some contend that there should be an ultra or super high-rise to classify those buildings which are incredibly high.

Correction my foot. That you correct Yorubas or Hausas is non of my business or do you see me in such threads typing if not invited directly or indirectly. Advice that has no bearing with.

Secondly I am not interested where you are from. I asked a simple question are you ashamed of such buildings clustered in your village? or do you go about snapping pictures up and down to prove an invalid point?

Did you read where I stated that it is only SE that has storey building?...quite a stupid allegation.....by Nigeria and Nigerians.


I only corrected the Google pictures u are busy bringing out to a clear message. You guys should learn how to comment constructively instead of minds full of pain, evil and sophiscation. Is that how Omoluabis behave?

Your people in Ekiti are lazy because they do not hawk gala?

Hawking gala or opening 2×2 shops unfortunately is being mentally lazy.Your Ekiti people have caught gala hawkers' people
many a time begging for alms in Ekiti.
In short,the 2×2 shops people are the poorest in the south of Nigeria.
