Sad!

It's not about spiritual force.. this is due to greedy and stinginess force.. if you should check the pictures very carefully, you gonna realize everything looks kind of substandard and weak.. if you wanna build house you gotta spend money and spend your time hiring a confirm supervisor that's gonna check out the building materials..

.. Let me throw some light on the collapse..
No quality material
Hollow block is not strong
There is absolutely limited material to build so they just manage material so that the work will be don but the work was not strong as it suppose to be...
The landscape is not suitable for the building...

Legendrysailor:
Hell no !!!!!

R.i.p to d deceased. Dis is as a result of using inferior materials.

It could be a range of several factors....including structural/stability design.

Dear ,


Is there some kind of uncontrollable Orgasm you derive from posting horrible and sad news?

You're becoming famous in a negative way which is not a good ethics of journalism...

Kindly balance it with some cheering news atleast.

Warm Regards!

Such is life, sometimes good sometimes bad

I am not restless, I am surprised you couldn't resist the urge to quote me after many months.


It's so cool to see how itchy your fingers couldn't wait to type.


How are you doing my friend?

We too like cheap things in this country, wen dey give estimate u will beat down price like tomatoes claiming u sabi price not knowing the cheaper u price the low quality dey give you...rip papa

aside that the drawings nko. That's where the problem starts from. They only do drawings for doing sake they don't follow anything more than dimensions. They believe its just ordinary paper.

Friends right?

Whats with the ring on his left index finger? Very sad incident. RIP man of god.

Where there no pillas.id rather build a high bungalow and add 1 room on top,than a whole duplex. Substandard materials disguised as quality materials. Na God go save us.

PlayMaker14:
Yes, I commend you for that, but 90% of the news you post here are horrific and heart shattering.

Just saying you should balance it with some cheering news.

Many thanks as you do so.

If it is not bad, it is not news (the English says 'no news is good news)
If it is good, it is no longer news but a testimony.

Bad Engineering

Someone introduced me to some bricklayers to help fence one of my properties. If you see the kind of blocks they brought ehn. You can't lift the blocks without it breaking. It was basically softer than cake.

what collapse a building is the reinforced areas like the columns and beams...

Tho u still need good blocks

Structures like this are designed to bear non load bearing walls i.e. The walls should not be supporting any load but the structural entities like columns, beams and slab carrying the load and transmitting them directly to the ground thru foundations.

This building from the picture doesn't seems to have collapsed from the use of inferior material but from lack of proper engineering. Bad economy and illiteracy make many believe that getting materials is far more important than getting a professional to supervise your job (I chose not to discuss "greed" parameter).
To get clients to pay for structural design alone is hell and it's even harder to make them hire a professional to supervise cos it looks like waste of money (moreover, building seems not to be rocket science) so they always think buildings are built with "common sense."
Whosoever is guilty of this collapse should be brought to books. Even when your client insists on what is wrong, don't do it! He is not knowledgeable in that regards so you should stand your ground and don't let your hunger get the best of you.

The possible cause could be;

1. Wrong Structural design

2. Connection problem; as a monolithic connection seems lacking from how the decking reinforcement is pointing and not kinked (bent). Such an error might have been cascaded to the slab/beam, slab/column or column/beam (the worst scenario) connection.

3. It could be failed foundation as well.

My points are only cursory and preemptive, only a detailed engineering investigation can unravel this.

Sad to lose this man. RIP!

Lagos rank high in issues of using inferior items for building.

Whoa.when i went to fetch water near the house,i thought it was an hoax until i saw that house i used to see was no more.

It was strange to me because the red house in front was once abandoned for a long time until it was refurbished and they moved in and everyday,people were building storey by storey.

It's either the foundation or the steel rods they used.

Julianaa:
House construction in Lagos is very bad, especially the mainland

The bricks are poorly constructed

No supervision from the government whatsoever, Only omo onile to collect their tax

People living in Lagos are really trying

Not true! All building projects in Lagos need to get building permit and inspection…
Unfortunately, so many Nigerians like to cut corners and AVOID official regulations.
