Is this even safe? Bamboo is a plant and plants decay with time. How is a house built with a bamboo skeleton supposed to stand the rest of time? Wonders.

Any Engineer found using Bamboo should be arrested and his/her certificate withdrawn.

I presently live in a 2 storey house that's a 104 years old. The decking is purely wood.
Why don't we result to building with woods and bricks.
Why are we wasting so much money on iron rods.
Can the bamboo carry the heavy weight load and sustain its durability for 30 years?
In building we have to be futuristic, aplly health and safety, and also make sure that used materials are tested and approved.
Be careful not to build cheap today and same building collapse in 30 years time killing you and your loved one's.
Better build a bungalow.

Bamboo price go increase to about 98% of rod price per length. I miss obj baba. I remember when he said actually, the reward for teachers, cum workers was on earth and not in heaven. Teachers started building houses and buying cars, things wey them no even dream of b4. God bless obj. I wish hes still president, all this nonsense for no dey


better don't say what you don't know. I was in University at the time Obj was president - and things were really tough, ended up using 7 years for 4 years program, that's without extra year or extra day. Ask people that were adult at the time how things were tough. We had more strike than any regime ever....he doesn't even listen to NLC or TUC/ASUU - Do you know how many media houses were sanctioned? How he shadily privatise Nigeria's assets? Nigeria Railway became non-functional, Ajaokuta Steel went under, so was Nigeria textile. OPC, Egbesu, Bakassi and Boko haram were all gave birth to during his time.

This is pure misinformation.

Steel is 2.5-3.0 times to bamboo in tensile strength.

But Bamboo is 3-4 times of steel when measured per unit weight.

But remember, structural design and analysis is done using TENSILE STRENGTH not per unit weight.

Also, Nigeria isn't a country where Bamboo can be effectively used for construction because of factors to be considered.

No single Southwest name was mentioned in the report.

What is puzzling me is why you seem to be offended and already putting up tribal defences where non was mentioned?

What is the correlation between the news as reported and whether people from SE who need to mention SS to feel complete, are enduring misery or suffering?

2027, Nigerians we need new political party to take over

Tinubu/APC is not going anywhere. He must complete his 8 years and hand over power to Gandollars Ganduje/APC for north to do their own 8 years.

Nigerians need to wait for the next 15yrs for APC. Let's give them enough time to transform Nigeria, just like BAT transformed Lagos

Those of you who were infants or were not born by 1999 should ask your parents about how standard of living was until June 8, 1998 when sani abacha died in aso rock

You are very right! Can't forget that period! Many bought Opel Omega then.. Golf and Audi 80.
And best part of it then was, if you were active and fixed yourself into something productive then, the money got reach you.
Money was floating around and the economy was liquid unlike now we have VERY greedy leaders who don't care if everyone perish as long as they are getting paid!

Wood TENSILE STRENGTH is very low and wooden structure has limited height compare to that of reinforced concrete reason why man can build Burj Khalifa and the ongoing Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia with a height of over 1,000m.

Lastly, wood can't prevent fire rather adding to it.

Imagine, if the Empire State building in USA was constructed with wood when the Small Bomber jet rammed into it and the jet fuel caused a lot of fire that damage few floors(Decking). It means the Empire State building won't be around today.
