You are wise.

Was the building really tilting or is this just an image distortion arising from the curvature of the camera lenses? undecided

If a building that size is tilted, and the tilt isn't as a deliberate architectural design, even the developer themselves wouldnt allow anyone close to it. They'd stop work knowing pouring more resources in there would be a total waste.

It is highly impossible to have this type of defective image in such civilized environment without generating cries from the public before it collapsed
True. Even the owner wouldn't be so stupid to enter it.

Not necessarily doctored. Just camera lenses distortion. Some kind of mild "barrel lens distortion".

Why did the same "camera lenses distortion" not affect the surrounding buildings?

You can take a picture from any angle and make it look the way you want.

Stop acting like you haven't used zoom on your camara.

Do you think a mere picture will tell you if a building is about to collaspe today or tomorrow

Trust me, no sane Nigerian will live in the remaining two towers... they should just demolish both of them. Same quack and greedy contractors handled all the buildings.
R.I.P to all deceased.

On a more lighter note, if the owner of these buildings did not go down, he would have walk free in today's 9ja.

I come in peace.

It Certainly wasn't 'staring' all in the eyes.

Hindsight is 20/20 So you think so.

If it was staring us as you say the tens of Engineers who were trapped would have identified - at least for their lives — isn't it?

I dont know the details but judging by this Project Signboard you can see that:-
1. The Man was the Client.
2. He was the Main Contractor (Direct labour)
3. He was also the Project Manager.
Yet he studied Business Finance at the University and has been in business for decades.

Please present and future Owners, please engaged hands-on Professionals. Engage a COREN-Certified Structural Engineer like me to handle the Structure. And give the person 100% free hand to operate.
Be particular about taking someone that EARNS HIS LIVELIHOOD from that work. Dont take someone that you know. Take someone that knows the work. Stop chasing packaging the kind of Benz or Ford he drives, how beautiful their website is, how many countries he has gone for vacation and other useless mundane things

Rest in peace to all the dead

All of you are the same.

I am sure he is also member of coren and the various unions and organizations

If you're a Nigerian,living in Nigeria and making this kind of comment, you need to wake up.


People obviously complained, the authorities went to shutdown the building but some palms were greased and the building continued.


It's very possible to have this type of defective buildings in Nigeria if you can bribe your way through, and if any accident happens, you can still bribe yourself away from the consequences.

This statement is exactly what is destroying this country.

The citizens blame everything on the govt as if they share no responsibility in making the country better.

This kind of tragedy wil most likely repeat itself becos in this part of the world we love to take unnecessary risks and when it happens we start blaming the devil . 21 storey...... for what ??

He saw the building going right angled , offcourse that's why he brought some clowns called pastors to pray on it hoping the money he paid for the prayers would save him. This one is small, alot of buildings are going down in the nearest future but I just hope the clients will be inside when it crashes.
