ForeThinker:
Things are happening very fast

On Wednesday, Gbenga Omotoso, Lagos commissioner for information and strategy, said the state has not ordered the demolition of the remaining two structures.

The commissioner said an integrity test is yet to be conducted on the two buildings.


this is nigeria

This is a doctored image and I don't believe it to be true.

It is highly impossible to have this type of defective image in such civilized environment without generating cries from the public before it collapsed

There are so many buildings in Lagos island ,that have to be demolished...it scares me even walking along the streets where most of them are situated.

ba7man:
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.

Whose responsibility was it to check the citizen for contravening building regulations?

lexy2014:


The corpses and survivors that were brought from under the building, where did they come from? Are u the one that put them under the rubble's?

Don't try to claim something else.

You claim that the building was about to fall because you saw a mere picture.

Nobody knows the date, month and time the picture was taken.

Now, why do you believe the building is about to fall just because you saw a picture.

If the building hasn't fallen and you saw that picture, you would have said, it was an AWESOME picture but because you have been manipulated by the title of the news, in your mind, you think the building was about to fall just by seeing the picture

thebosstrevor1:


Does the building below shows its about to fall?

The way you take a picture can distort the actual reality of the structure you are snapping

planes laden with fuel crashed into the Twin towers, the resulting inferno heated up the steel structural members, weakening them.

The buildings collapsed under their own weight once the structural members were weakened enough.

Two totally unrelated scenarios.

Could this be the reason why they were doing crusade on top of the building.

Doesn't answer the questions I asked:

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

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.

This is Nigeria the land of anything goes.
Why did they organize a prayer session for the safety of the building after the initial closure of the building?

I’m not an architect or builder bt I can already see several massive faults and issues on this building.

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

should i name 3 contractors on property section who studied business admi? One studied computer science and are being hailed as engineers on property section. Anyways no need coz I can't win their arguments there.

You speak my mind

The Building regulation agencies employ Americans and Afghanistans, right?

Where in Nigeria is civilised?

You see, that was an edit and manipulation by photoshop.

The original picture was taken long before the plane attack but was edited to lay a point

You underestimate the greed of Nigerians.

This man had already collected millions of dollars in down payment from buyers of the flats and millions more from investors in the project. In his mind he HAD to complete that building at all costs to make his profit and avoid gbese.

That’s why he was going there everyday because he knew the building was faulty and he was looking for ways to fix it without bringing it down. It’s not a coincidence that he was in the building on the day it collapsed because he was going there everyday. Whenever you see a property developer going to a site everyday just know there is something wrong with that building. Otherwise, if everything is fine, you just entrust daily operations to the contractors and only go there to supervise major events.

Plus countless people had reported the building to Lagos state gov, officials had attempted to seal it and arrested him before his release was ordered from someone above. His former consultants had pulled out of the project due to him ignoring their advise. What other evidence do you need to see before you believe that man knew the building was in distress but was hell bent on completing it like that?

e don set before the building collapse

They came from your house.

thebosstrevor1:


They came from your house.

If you no that they came from my house, how come you are now asking me if I was there?

Which leaves the other question unanswered: Are u the one that put them under the rubble?

DSC7:


So the building was tilting and people were still trooping in?

Asin the building dey bend and people still dey waka enter inside?

Oga there are many buildings that are visibly tilting in this Lagos and people still live inside confidently. Do you live in Lagos at all? Come let me take you in a trip around Lagos island.

So because is a physical structure that is why you are questioning it and saying it is a lie.
This buhari govt is a disaster for 8yeara and you will ask us why they will still vote APC in 2023.
The building just kill 45 persons do you know how many lives are killed and dying daily as a result of govt maladministration.

The said high rise was say said to have a bad report from a construction consultant who withdrew their services ,why did the lagos state govt not take it up.

Gov Jide San wolu ought to be impeached or resign but he is forcing others on suspension why himself is exonerated

Odogwu, your school fees was not wasted. Any idle miscreant can make a quick photoshopped rendering of that building.

Fear bloggers and blogging scam.





Life sentence for all scammers . . . including paternity fraudsters!

Sound mind. Even if it was tilted as portrayed in the image above, it would have collapsed towards the angle of tilt.

Mere looking at the picture,it looks bend,the structure isn't straight at all,RIP to The lost souls

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

Structural engineer: blank?

IT WAS . MY COUSIN'S OFFICE IS TWO POLES AWAY FROM IT. IT WAS VERY VISIBLE THAT IT WAS TILTED. HE CONFIRMED TO ME.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT NOW IS THE LESSONS THAT SHOULD BE LEARNT FROM THE DISASTER.


Humanity has be safety conscious and not to allow money override human lives.

RIP to all those who lost their lives.

I just had the same thought. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just image distortion to sell news and clickbaits

I don't believe this is true! However anyone who saw the building in that condition and continued to work there until it collapsed, committed suicide, and should not be mourned.

this is a crazy country

Tallesty1:
So this was how the building was tilting and people still get mind to go inside and work?
