We are yet to hear the last of this.

LASBCA granted approval for 15 floors, while the Fem Hamzat debunked the claims to declared an approval for 21 floors.

The outcome of the probe panel will put the conflicting reports to rest

To know the mindset of Osibona the developer of the ill fated building, in an interview he granted a tv station, he said that he doesn't listen to the "so called experts" because they only know theory not the practical aspect, I suspect in the case of the collapsed building he might not listen to the experts he contracted for the job

NIN this country we just like cheating and very greedy with everything. The rich and the poor are greedy people. So many people on Nairaland that advertise various products that don't exist or fake. Corruption is tap toot deep in this country from politicians to government officials to business men and women to the common in the street

The man was a religious fanatic who believed his faith in Jesus will hold the building together. Because no one in his or her right mind, who works with professionalism, diligence, logic and reality of things would allow a building that was initially designed for 6 floors to be taken all the way up to 21 floors!!!

They were asking him how he was able to achieve the projects, instead of him quoting his experience, skill and expertise he said it's Grace of God, it's faith in God, God this, God that. Religious fanatics are the worse to work with...

Thanks for pointing out the zealotry and blind faith that must have spurred on that corrupt developer.

When T.B Joshua's building similarly collapsed under its own weight of 'flouted planning laws', we had so many of his followers attributing that preventable outcome to a unidentified flying object (UFO).

Despite many fingers pointing at poor workmanship as the cause of the church’s collapse, the late TB Joshua maintained an aircraft flying too low over the building triggered the building's fall.

Despite the protestations of the South Africa government, who wanted a thorough investigation carried out as quickly as possible, that case remains covered by a cloud of opacity till this very day.
I know, though, that many of T.B Joshua's adherents - including a certain garrulous former minister known for peddling conspiracy theories - have taken comfort in the evidence provided by an 'expert witness'. Yes I am referring to Paul Iguniwei, who only completed his Master's degree in Explosive and Material Science in 2016 (NDA). Is the really the best Nigeria has to offer? Or what is the case that this individual is the most pliable 'expert' willing to bear false testimony in a court of law?

I leave it up to Nigerians to decide...

Six years after the man of God has been vindicated In this exclusive footage from SABC, the national broadcaster of South Africa, an interview was conducted with scientist and weapons expert Paul Iguniwei, who revealed shocking details about the advanced infrasonic weapons he concluded were used to attack and destroy the building at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria on September 12th 2014

The structure, which was being developed by Fourscore Homes, caved in on November 1, leaving over 40 people dead.

Femi Osibona, owner of Fourscore Homes, is one of the 45 persons who have so far been confirmed dead.


So is it 40 or 45? @ OP
Re: NIStructE: Ikoyi Building Initially Designed For 6 Floors by jaxxy(m): 3:19pm On Nov 17, 2021
When people use spiritual elements to cover gross physical irresponsibility and irregularities.

Even the Bible talks about a man who builds a house on a poor foundation and how it ends. Luke 6:48

Same bible says which man who intends to build a tower sitteth not Down first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Luke 14:28

I don’t see how u can compromise proper standards to a catastrophic level and say God directs ur projects? U are misleading urself.

God doesn’t support stupidity, slothfulness or self destruction.

Over 40 people dead.

This is what happens when you use political engineering mindset to carry out structural engineering works. Femi was obviously connected politically but oblivious of frailties inherent in tinkered engineering practices.

Thought the deputy governor said otherwise. Funny enough the LASBCA chairman was suspended indefinitely from office for chorusing this same line. Meaning for the sake of truth and justice, good conscience and history the man should be reinstated back to the office asap!

I just pity the people who died with this man because he is very wicked. So he was building that structure for other people to come and rent and stay with their own families?

Structural failures are always very fatal hence the need to do the right thing always.


The preliminary investigation also revealed some evidence of structural inadequacy in the construction and that signs of some structural distress had already started to show within certain elements of the building.

Just GREEDY developer bribed his way to increase the floors as the demons of greediness increased in him along the way.
The collapse of the towers of greed simply showed the fate of every greedy corrupt and incompetent Nigerian in the public sector and private sector.

It is good the owner went allong with the building.

Thank God that it wasn't yet completed b4 the collaps. Had it been it has been completed and rented out to the public, over 2,000 people would have been killed. Greediness and corruption.

Those that granted the approval from those ministries should be given a life sentence.

Those kind of people work with pastoral consent. If their father in the lord tells them to do anything, they will do so blindly.

The collapse was not some freak accident but a result of negligence.

All evidence show that the symptoms of this building are throughout but no one took them serious or they chose to turn a blind eye to it when they should act.

You can’t move from 6 floors to 21 floors in 1 year.

Negligence?
OR OUTRIGHT MURDEROUS THOUGHTLESSNESS.

Even after the unfortunate incident, no one is talking about those that lost their lives.

There is no evidence that Femi Osibona was a religious fanatic and that his fanaticism was responsible for the collapse of the building. Please check the dictionary meaning of a fanatic.
You need to deal with facts and not allow yourself to be driven by preconceived notions.

To claim Femi never made references to his records and expertise and relied only on his faith to execute building projects is a blatant lie. In all his interviews and reportage on him, his building expertise from UK to South Africa where he build Fourscore Mansion were mentioned.
He always talked about being the first African developer to construct a seven-storey building, located at 113, Albion Drive, London Fields, E8, 4LZ, in East London.

Before he died, he in lived in a flat at Shalom Apartments, Ikoyi which consisted of 36 Flats and which he built in 2010 more than ten years ago.

What happened at the collapsed building is a structural issue and disregard for professionalism and not driven by any religious fanaticism. This is not the first building in Lagos to collapse due to such reasons and the Government and its Regulatory Agencies bear as much blame as the developers.

Please get your facts right and not use this opportunity fo pollute the public space and cast aspersions on Femi's religion.
