He got approval for 15 floors but went ahead to construct 21 floors while you all stood by and did nothing.

Whatever happened to regulatory supervision?

Gerard Road is a very busy road in Ikoyi and there is no way such noticable infraction could not have been noticed till it collapsed, Lagos State should be held responsible 100% for the avoidable lives that was lost.



God bless you. As usual they should shift the blame and some fools on nairaland will swallow it line, hook and sinker. That is Nigeria for you. Brown envelope has exchanged hands and they turned blind eyes.



Bunch of mad fellows.

You approved 15 he built more than that and you didn't sanction him. How then will others learn

Every rich man is above the law in Nigeria.

That's why it's easy for them to keep saying, "Do you know who I am?"

"I can make a call and you lose your job."

Nigeria na one lawless cesspit.

Since the owner of the collapsed building has been arrested,you too should equally be arrested and also charged to court for the same offence or negligence of duty, were you guys sleeping in your air-condition office when they exceeded the approved limit ?

The structural engineer warned the main contractor.


Wonderful...

This structural engineer should be called the Nostradamus of all structural engineers particularly the ones in Nigeria.

This is a huge win for the guy and his company.

Most people will definitely want to work with him seeing he knows his onion.

The Solution to this problem is for Lagos State Building Control Agency to operate like Banks. They should have branches in all parts of the state.

Also, every phase of the work must be approved by them before proceeding. In this way, this collapse issue can be reduced if not prevented

When their mouths have been filled up with cash or some apartments in the building, how will they see and speak about the infractions?

That's what most of these owner do... He just have cajoled the developer because of greed and cutting corners... These are the kind of people that find it hard to pay 5% commission, yet want to make all the money in the world...

Nonsense!

So where were you when he exceeded the approved 15 floors?

You were sleeping?

You should be arrested for wasting human lives!

Anyway, does anyone's life even matter in your country?

You speak as if you have never lived in the country, no problem... Hold LASG responsible while the developer should go Scot-free so as to go endangered more lives.

The load was too much on the poor foundation.

The live and dead loads of a structure determine how the foundation concrete will be strong.

Imagine 21 flloors on a single foundation

Until the citizens start doing the right thing the country will always remain a mess

Bunch of mad fellows.
Stop being cynical and put the blame where it lies.
I have driven by many average looking houses blocking drainage or dangerously close
to river. The buildings were already marked with red "stop work", yet, the owner continue.

The government job is limited. It is not your personal bodyguard to hold your hands and guide
you around safely.
