bestman09: There are lots of occupied buildings that are over 100 years old ... most you will have no clue. A few that look like mini castles with the cone shaped roofs you may suspect... but these be going on to 200 years old. Maintenance is key. In this case .... I'm almost sure water damage is the cause. Saw one ... over 100 years old .... entire front came down due to water damage. Note ... cement wasn't being used back then.... clay bricks and stone ... brown stone. How well they were built?... they are known not to shift... never seen any tilt after all the years. Below ... a landmark building ... maintained by the FG ... located in Manhattan.... the house and grounds.... still standing firm today. How old?... do the math.

I noticed the site is now very fast. I just registed on the forum . Nice features. I was hoping Nairaland would add those features. Up Ghana.com (I also removed the space between Up and Ghana) ApexCoding6: I finally found a place where I can meet and date beautiful Ghana girls

Phoenix873: It's survivorship bias. You only get to notice the old buildings that stood the test of time. The many other buildings that did not make it will go unnoticed. |

All these old azz buildings. E plenty for Iowa sha. |
Re: Iowa Building Collapse (Pictures, Video) by sprints1: 2:56pm On Jun 01, 2023 |
Una see this old buildings be very careful especially of water and gas pipes pass through the walls. It eats up the cement and make it crack. From the way the building collapsed the crack on the wall must have be very obvious but they chose to repaint like we Nigerians used to neglect crack on all. Ka sha ti bu oda le. This should be an eye opener |

Davenport, a part of the quad cities is filled with ancient and old structures like most Iowa cities. I no dey surprised. |

Phoenix873: What you should ask yourself is what happened to the other 99.99% of ancient buildings that didn't survive? |

nony43:The building is 100 years old before collapsing. Nigeria's own is not even up to 1 year old. It's still being constructed and then it collapses. 3 Likes |

dyera: If earthquakes occur in Nigeria.. We won't be building like we do . In Japan. They use light weight building materials like wood to build their houses due to their frequent earthquakes or quake resistant highrises.. Easy to build and repair. Same in tornado areas in the US. Houses made of wood and foam.. Nigeria is all about cement and block. Very heavy and cost ineffective.. 1 Like |

Phoenix873: Which first storey building in Nigeria? That thing the British built in Badagry in 1920 or whatever? KAI. NIGERIANS, WHO DO UNA THIS THING? So if they ask you now, a full grown man, about the first storey building in NIgeria, you will point to that house in Badagry? Do you know there are storey buildings in Kano that are nearly 1,000 years old? Do you know that Benin city, which was described in the 15th century by European visitors as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities on Earth, had multiple storey buildings and monuments before it was destroyed by British invaders in 189&? Now they've brainwashed you people to think you had no storey buldings until they came. KAI. I swear these colonialists really dealt with you peoples' heads. Its actually sad to behold. 1 Like |

Re: Iowa Building Collapse (Pictures, Video) by Phoenix873: 8:30am On Jun 02, 2023 |
Rostikol:Perhaps proper nomenclature for that building in badagry should have been 'the first cement and bricks' story building in Nigeria. Because, to the best of my knowledge, the earlier ancient story buildings of Kano and Benin that you alluded to were not built with cement but probably mud or other such ancient building materials |
