I heard Lekki soil is soft and not really good for storey buildings.


Even at that, the soil can be built on provided engineers did their groundwork well.

But in a corruption ridden country, Nigeria, every one wants cheap cash from doing shoddy jobs.

So now this is it. The quest to make money has taken over the minds of some people, therefore jeopardizing safety.
How many people are ready to follow due process?

Funny enough there are a lot of unoccupied completed buildings in some estates in lagos, reason been that the rent is something else.

Hhhmmm May we not be victims of some else's carelessness

Hmmm, better to say "May we not be victims of some else's greed"

When building in lekki with soft soil, make sure your engineers use pile foundation
Re: Building Under Construction Collapses In Lekki (Photo) by Sunsets: 4:45pm On Nov 02, 2021
Ignorant comment. We can build bridges on top of sea, talk more of Lekki. Every crust has a solid layer; what you need do is to locate the solid layer and bury your foundation. Piling comes to mind.

There are underwater buildings in many places, it's all about craftsmanship, design and quality of building materials

Nigeria just build their houses without proper consultation with builders in other to avoid what they called unnecessary spending, no soil test, no metal and concrete test and enough of soil drilling.

Substandard materials on the rise due to high cost of building materials.

I always advice potential house owners to supervise and purchase (when necessary) building materials themselves.

Most contractors/developers are greedy, they are only interested in their profit.

All those builders/contractors are fraudsters.From my personal experience it’s better to buy house and renovate than to build from scratch.Those builders will rip you off

It is not about the soil. You can even build on water . However , Nigerians should brace for a season of collapsed buildings . Why ? Because the cost of construction is increasing by the day and unscrupulous contractors and developers will start cutting corners in a bid to keep making money . Any house built in the last 2-3 years should be closely monitored .

Sometimes it is as if Nigerians use the word Corruption as an excuse to be lazy and avoid the ground work of organizations necessary for society to function a best as it can while foreigners use corruption on Nigerians as a slur. There is nothing that happens in Nigeria that wouldn't happen anywhere else in the world, even the Vatican city, if those places rely on human honesty not to bend the rules, cheat, steal or kill instead of putting in place every measure they can against humankind self-interested nature.

The CCTV in banks in the USA, China, Tokyo and Madrid is as much to monitor the very security guards employed by the banks as it is to monitor or watch out for external infiltration.

Incidentally, I've never met or known an honest Englishman but I've known honest Nigerians.

soft soil has got nothing to do with the collapse of the building provided the normal things are done.
