This is really sad angry

Judging from the second pix, that building is already soaked and the engineer shouldn't have allowed any work to be going on there

Substandard materials and abnormal concrete mixtures ratios are the problem.

Standard Bridges have pillars submerged in water but don't cillapse

In a bid to save costs, people employ the services of quacks to build their homes just because they feel paying an architect will be too expensive. These professions are there for a reason. To get the building approval of anything bigger than a bungalow you need the architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings and calculation sheets approved. Great work is put in by these professionals to ensure the structural integrity of the final structure.

But trust Nigerians always wanting the quick and cheapest way out. This is the end result of that negligence.

Engineers should maintain standard.. I advice people to mould their blocks than buying from industry, however, I think the design load was not carefully studied.

No. The heads of regulatory agencies should be jailed each time a building fails. That might wake them up to do their jobs.

They never do their jobs... They will spot these defaulters who will in turn pay them off. This is what happens in every sector of this nation, even health and food!!!

What keeps baffling me is how our fathers and grandfathers were able to build thousands of highrise buildings even with then less educated apprentice Engineers yet almost zero incidences. RIP to the death and I somehow believe our present day Engineers are experts at cutting corners.

The answer is simple: In those days Nigerians were disciplined and law abiding. Corruption was lesser and artisans did not have to cut corners. We are now living in a highly corrupt and lawless society.

Yeah, and the dead ones must have been serving a dead God. Christian logic.

God saves who he choose to save...
It is not our place to question Gods choice and motive...
For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”

Even if Biafra is declared I wonder how long it will last before it collapse to the ground.

Na by force to build storey building?
Buildings collapse in every major city in Nigeria where storey buildings are prevalent.
Lagos is No 1.
There is a deep proliferation of quacks in Nigeria.

What do you expect?
When quacks handle
building construction projects,
When the contractor cuts costs and delivers poot job just to line his pockets,
When the suppliers supply fake materials, you need to see the so called blocks...you won't wish your enemy to use them...
When the regulatory and monitoring agencies would rather collect bribes instead of protecting peoples lives?

If we keep deceiving ourselves that greed, corruption and unpatriotic behavior is not killing us then there's no hope.
