Come let's reason together.

We cannot continue like this and be expecting to get a new result.

We know we've been doing things wrongly in the past but now let us come together and make the wrongs right.

Let us start somewhere to end this abnormality in the construction sector.

We are going to start from the initiator.

THE CLIENT.

Please, you're the owner of your project, seek professional advice not from your friends, family, or religious leaders when you want to work on a project.

Get competent professionals and seek their advice.

Follow their advice and never call them incompetent in your way.

Don't beg them to cut corners and leave them to do their job.

Do your part by getting funds for the project and letting professionals handle their job.

Don't ever go near quack for your project.

THE PROFESSIONALS.

To we the professionals, in the construction sector, let us always advise the clients accordingly.

If they don't want to listen to you, please walk away and report them to the authority.

If you see anyone doing a shabby job, report them because you don't know who will eventually buy or rent that apartment.

Lots of people have met with untimely death just because professionals refused to advise the client accordingly.

Everything is not about money when life is involved.

When the lives of people are in danger, money is useless.

Any money you collect that makes anyone shed blood later is blood money and God will ask for the innocent bloodshed in your hand.

THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

Now to the Regulatory Authority.

You have a lot to do.

Sometimes it is very difficult for professionals to stop work because of the powerful people.

However, you're empowered by the government.

You have all the machinery, you have the police force, you have the law.

You can arrest these people but most of you choose to collect bribes instead of doing the right thing.

You've forgotten that the stone you are throwing in the marketplace can hit your relative.

How will you feel if some of the buildings you refused to follow protocols for then collapse in the future and kill your family, how will you feel?

Please do your work, do what you're being paid for and let our society be free from danger.

THE LARGE SOCIETY.

To the society and community at large, this is the time for everyone to bend down and pick the whistle.

Any project you perceive that they are cutting corners or that you don't see any professionals there, blow the whistle on them.

Expose them to the public.

When you see that something is not been done right, blow the whistle, let people be informed.

You can do it anonymously because when the results start to manifest, not only the owner of the building will lose money but even the people working there, the innocent lives.

THE QUACK.

Now to the quacks, if you know that you're not professionally intelligent in that particular aspect, please stay away.

The realm of law will catch you soon if you don't stop.

If you're a bricklayer, you're to get instructions directly from either an engineer, a builder, or an architect.

Professionals are to dictate what you're to do, you're not an engineer.

That you've constructed a house somewhere with an engineer does not mean you can do it alone.

If you're a quack, you're a quack. Stay away from construction because the way professional bodies will be going around now, you'll be arrested.

People that want to build and allow the building to collapse on innocent people are not going to be allowed to do business as usual.

We're ready now. Woli the Builder himself will be part of this.

Time to sanitize our dear construction industry from the Hijacker is now.
