Just because the country's economy is not favorable, it is not acceptable to reduce the standard of building materials just to gain. It used to be safety first but now, people are prioritizing money over people's safety.
As in, can't you produce in standard quality and self at the the price that pays you?
What's the essence of reducing the quality of products especially when it has to do with human lives?

What are your thoughts on these tiny blocks?

I'm surprised the block is not even way thinner than that with cement price at 10k to 15k

Nice observation Op. I just wonder why people in Nigeria keep increasing prices yet are keen on always dropping the quality and standard of everything they sell.

we all understand that cement is costly but let's cut the blocks in the standard size and quality. The producers can calculate the cost of production and sell it at the price that pays them.
Theses blocks are not strong enough to bear the doors and windows lintol.

I have nothing to tell the moulder. I blame any fool that will buy it.

But who buys this kind of substandard products that doesn't guarantee his or her safety? I'll rather wait till I have the capital to build than buy these death traps

It's only in Nigeria manufacturers increase the price of a product and reduce the content as well..

Yamayama country where nothing is regulated or controlled...
