most of the old houses in Ebute Metta are properly built, with standard materials. It is the new houses that people should worry about. Unless d old house was built in a swamp, or has plumbing issues that is leaking water inside the walls.

Not by age , most of these houses never reach 10yrs sef
Reason
They collect lease from a family say 25 yrs
They will use sub standard materials , to make more gain , so greedy families do suffer it , but give developer a fair deal , then monitor him as he builds

The house is in-between health care centre and cemetery.

Making things easier,

Those dt sustain injuries will go to health care centre while d dead will relocate permanently to the cemetery.

Too bad embarassed




houses built with substandard materials.


¿ cool %
Not necessarily, it could be a case of overloading. Houses are designed to carry a certain amount of load. Even the distribution of the loading is also important. Impact loads also could be deadly. Age of the structure. So many reasons why a structure could collapse. Not just substandard materials. You could build it to world class standard and a shift in the foundation (erosion) will still topple it.

Records at the NBS show that 86 'foreigners" enter Lagos from the East, every blessed day, what do you expect?
When we say Stay in your State and Town', una go say 'I must follow IfesinaChi enter Lagos'.
You people sit on attachment seat to travel to Lagos, overcrowding the City and messing up the whol eplace, now you are calling it overhyped City.

Lagosians should just deport all these foreigners speading out in slums all over the place.

See am now, Lagos na fine place.
See idiots celebrating trash called pretty names.
I haven’t seen the rate of this kind nonsense in some states I have lived in Nigeria.
Sorry to the victims but if Nigeria continues this way there's a problem. Osinbajo is a good leader but things like this is happening but nothing is put in place to avoid and stop it from happening.

That building isn’t new, so I can’t blame materials. It’s the maintenance culture that is lacking. If they can shut down 3rd Mainland that Julius Berger built for maintenance, is your building too big for maintenance?

Somebody reading this now has once prayed for his rented apartment to collapse because his rent will soon be due or he is owing rent and doesnt know where to get the money from.

If you are that person,......

That person must b foolish. What abt his/her properties in d building? won't they get destroyed too?
