RIP to the dead and speedy recovery to the injured. God help Nigeria. I pray that one day we shall get sense in this country! Building collapses are just way too commonplace.. Is it that people like to cut corners by using inferior materials? Or that the state has no building control department who should be supervising every stage of new erections? Because I just don't understand it.

If a building is built correctly following strict plans laid out by architects and structural engineers it should stand for ever without incident. Look at houses in the western world that were built in the 1930's and further back. They are still standing today..

My brother i tire o. I saw buidings built in 18th century in Paris and it looks as if it was built 5 years ago. Nigerians are terrible set of people

It seems the weight of large people living in this houses collapsing are much than the house weight.




My opinion though because hardly will you see house collapse in low populated cities.

I no be engineer ooo but this building look weak and fragile from the pix sef.
Lagos has so many structures like this still standing. They should do the needful to them.
Akindele’s multi-apartment house in oworo made the front page some days back. Those sinking structures need to shop dust I swear.
And the funniest thing is most tenants in that Akindele apartment won’t pack out now when d building is still standing..

The caretaker informed the occupants, parked out of the said building and moved to somewhere else, stopped collecting rents from the tenants but trust the Nigerianese factor.

"We want to eat our cake and have it when we don't have the bakery"
It's pitiful, souls have to go down.

I blamed the landlord
Most landlord are only good at collecting money but it's difficult for them to renovate the house.
We are ourselves problem not until we put our house in order, Nigeria will not get better.
Abi na Bubu tell the landlord not to take of his house?
not really renovation or the landlord's incompetency rather the contractors who structured the building are the cause of the collapse.

I know that the owner of the house and caretaker would be giving excuse.

When I was in Lagos there is this house where I work as a bakery manager.

The house was designed as a story building and there is vibration of bakery engine downstairs o.

The owner now decide to change the dimensions and even added another story building to it.

I know that one day the house will still collapse. I just pity the people who will be in that house by then.

There is need for regulations for all this landlords. Everything no be money.
Re: Photos Of The Collapsed Ebute Metta Building Before Collapse by themanderon: 7:09pm On May 02, 2022
That's an old building. Probably passed its sell by date hence the collapse.

The Roman Colloseum was built over 1000yrs ago,Germany's Neutschwanstein Castle was built in 1869 and the Leaning Tower of Pisa was built and the Leaning Tower of Pisa was completed in 1372 and they're still standing centuries later.

Just like Nigeria
The country has collapsed and thousands have lost their precious lives under the rubble and the rest are still trapped inside.

If you think NIgeria has not collapsed, you need to look around you

I think you may be very right on issue of the initial building plan to be single story building

There is nothing our dubious people can't do
