In the past, building collapse was unheard of. Even when the so called engineers were local laborers from the villages. Today, even with the best engineers, our buildings are collapsing! WHY? I also noticed that these building collapses have quadrupled since we started allowing local cement manufacturers to have a field day in determining the quality of cement they will sell in Nigerian markets. Why must different types and quality of cement be sold in Nigeria? Who is regulating cement quality in Nigeria?

At least eleven persons were feared trapped in a building that collapsed at Okpuno, in the Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State. Our correspondent gathered that the incident happened on Wednesday night According to a source, some of the persons trapped are masons from Ghana and Togo. When our correspondent visited the scene, rescue workers and security agents were seen at work. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the story, stating that it happened on Wednesday. He said nine out of the trapped persons were rescued alive while rescue workers were working to rescue the others still trapped. He said, “A distress call was received from the vigilance group in Okpuno that a three-storey building belonging to one Mr Avoyi Collins collapsed at Okpuno Otolo in Nnewi LGA of Anambra State. “Police Patrol teams led by the Area Commander Nnewi, Nnanna Ama, rushed to the scene and cordoned off the Area to prevent looters from taking advantage of the situation to steal. “Volunteers were also mobilized for the rescue of trapped victims including 11 foreign masons from the Republic of Togo. “So far, nine of them were rescued alive from the collapsed building while efforts are ongoing to rescue two others who are still trapped. “The rescued victims were rushed to the Community Health Centre Okpuno for medical attention and investigation is ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident”.

I saw this picture posted online and i thought i should repost it here to increase the chances of the right people seeing it. Yes, we do need more trees in our beautiful Teaching Hospital. Especially as it is named after Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. It should not just have the best facilities in Nigeria, it should have the best environmental ambiance too. Please let those who can make this happen take note. Daalu nu and Happy Sunday!

Nnewi residential areas |
Obdk:I will be the first to call for remediation of the Nkwo area. Yet it must be clearly stated that Nkwo market is a market area in Nnewi. Even-so, it still has modern buildings and not mud houses. Anyone that wants to post it should do so and compare Nnewi market area to Ibadan residential areas should do so. They just have to clearly say they are comparing Nnewi markets to Ibadan homes. The difference is that in Ibadan, it is not the markets but residential areas that are brown roof republic and seem almost endlessly in sheer vastness of the area.

hammer6F:I really thought that Grand Hotel Asaba would do this when they launched and kept hammering on cruise along the bank of the River Niger. I hope a 5 star hotel will establish along the Anambra river bank of the Niger and they can have a day One-day voyage trip on perhaps a smaller cruise ship to important landmark locations along the bank of the River Niger. I am sure tourists will like to take such short one day voyages once a week or month. They work with the Nzam community to do a once a month cultural display at a newly built site on the bank of the River Niger. OR can build a small volleyball court, horse riding and other activities at Nzam so that they can get tourists there to disembark and participate in a small tourist festival before sailing back to Onitsha base of the hotel.

mightguy:I don't say anything to them because i know they are aliens trying to ruin Anambra in anyway possible. I don't even attempt to read anything they post because i know they usually have sub-basic intelligence. I only wonder why you guys continue responding to him to help him derail the thread. |
pazienza:Why are you guys always responding intelligently to an arse? Please tell Chino to speak Igala-Igbo dialect let us hear. That guy is DEFINITELY not from my state. Nobody from Anambra will disrespect other Igbos like he does just to attract attack and hatred on Anambra people. |
See how the guy put lipstick like cheap Oshodi ashewo. ![]()

Clearly, people in higher authorities in the army killed this former general. There is NO WAY the incompetent Nigerian army will simply begin searching a pond or river frantically for days to find the missing general. It is very clear that some people in the army know the car would be found there and thus insisted that resources be spent for weeks searching the same lake. |
ckenneths:I am glad more of our people are taking the bull by the horn and providing decent commercial flats. Those types of buildings are the only hope for decent mass housing in the SE. Else slums will fill all our cities. I have done my research on building duplexes for renting and i discovered that a 4-5 bedroom duplex might cost up tp N40 million to build. Yet you will struggle to rent it out for 1 million naira per year. While a four storey build of 8 flats will cost about N45 - 49 million to build and you will easily get N5 - N6 million per year on them. For an investor in real estate, it does not make sense to build duplexes unless you intend to live in it. Not just that in the SE, those who can pay for duplexes already have their own, these types of buildings are the best way to get good return on your investment and help provide decent houses for working families. I hope our people continue building commercial flats, but just make sure they are in well planned estates.

arinzeejikonye:Quite impressive! But, i was just wondering if there was any need to make a gate house so massive with so many rooms in a two storey building? Do many security folks will live there?
|
raker300:Great shot bro! Glad to see you are still posting pics. Please be mindful of those that want to derail every Igbo thread. I know a certain individual with multiple monikers that will NEVER contribute any useful idea whatsoever in our threads. He only waits for our people to quarrel then he uses the opportunity to post filth and derail our thread. Seeing Nnewi from the air shows how much we must do serious town planning for the city. |
mktinsight:I totally agree with everything you said. Every normal city should have the government provide central water system, central sewage system, reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply, adequate waste disposal and safe tarred streets with underground drainage gutters for her citizens. Is Nigeria normal? |
Sunofgod:He will be elected! Kwankwaso or Atiku will be the next President of Nigeria. Nigeria must say goodbye to the disaster called Buhari and rebuild this country. Why is Buhari plotting to use INEC to rig the elections by trying to ban cell phones? What is he afraid of? Kwankwasiyya! |
Handsomegod:Oga nobody is cursing you. If you know me, i don't engage in such. I just wanted to point out how ridiculous it is to cite Nigerian newspaper opinions for scientific evidence. Even Wikipedia may be more acceptable than Nigerian newspapers. Anyhow, i totally agree that boreholes or wells must be at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from soakaway sewage pits. Since soakaway pits are usually behind buildings, we could make it a Public Health law in Nigeria that boreholes are sunk only in the front yard space to ensure adequate distance from the soak away pits. |
Jail term for who? They should leave the woman alone! APC is a gang of forgers. If they try her for forgery, then all of them in that party should be tried for their own forgeries too. |
Cjrane2:Oga CJ, thanks for this post. I can only say that i personally know these business parks with these buildings in Atlanta Georgia. They are owned by a private developer called Lenox. I wish our people will adopt these good things. They are easily achievable if ONLY we learn to plan our cities and map them out appropriately. Especially restricting to a minimum of 3 -storey buildings for every structure there. Sadly, nobody ever thinks of mapping out areas of the city for specialized buildings such as Business parks. In the video below, they seem serious about building modern structures of similar quality, but you know our people just like to talk sometimes. It's left to be seen if they are serious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQvL8Wqhf7I&t=223s |
Handsomegod:Although it is unintended, I feel somewhat insulted that you would paste even US news stories by journalists as scientific evidence.Yet, i know US journalists research their stories because there are consequences for false news. It is even more atrocious to post Nigerian journalists as scientific evidence. INEC has said cell phones prevent them from conducting free and fair elections. Now you will soon cite that as scientific evidence of factors affecting free and fair elections. Please don't insult all of us here with that type of beer parlor talk. THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT BOREHOLES CAUSE LANDSLIDES, EARTHQUAKES, EROSION ETC that you claimed. In places with very few rainfalls per year, it is said that water wells or boreholes can make the water level to drop and make newer boreholes or wells to be dug even deeper. The other issue is the potential for diseases in very shallow wells. Even at that, southern Nigeria isn't a place with scanty rainfall like in the sahara desert. Please learn to research topics before coming here to rubbish the forum as a bunch of uninformed folks by posting ridiculous opinions. You can research "Environmental impact of deep wells and boreholes" in West Africa, Nigeria etc. Please don't post newspaper opinions for us here. By the way, i also heard that growing Millet, groundnuts and tomatoes predispose a country to droughts and desertification because they suck the water from the soil. Now tell me such newspaper articles are also true?

Fulani herdsmen will get to a point that Nigerians will resist them and Buhari that sent them. |
Crocky23:Elections are coming and Buhari needs them to halt operations until he wins a second term, then all north central communities will be new Fulani villages. |
spyder880:Excellent job Spyder! The house is turning out to be very beautiful! Since there is a tank on top of the building, I hope they also sink a small borehole there to make sure residents don't suffer the perennial issue of water scarcity in Onitsha. That will complete the cycle of making the place a true luxury apartments with running water and everything in place. |
ANSMEDIA: They should build many more of these types of parking spaces along the entire breath of the expressway along Onitsha to Awka and Onitsha to Owerri expressways. Parking vehicles of any kind along the expressways must be a banned taboo in Anambra to enable it achieve conducive business environment. Any offenders to this rule should be immediately impounded and made to pay heavy fines for parking violation. |
Handsomegod:Boreholes may not be the best way to provide portable water, but without them, the alternative will be cholera outbreaks everywhere in Igboland. There is also NO scientific evidence that boreholes cause landslides or erosion as you claimed. Our cities are packed with population density of European cities. Unless we figure a way to provide portable water and insist that every house must use a water closet toilet system, we would have thousands of deaths from enteric diseases especially cholera. So while having a central sewage system and central water supply system is desirable, we know our governments are too poor to provide them. If people did not provide these facilities in their buildings, all our gutters will be filled with water proof containing human feces. |
GentleMoney:The useless NYSC program has outlived its usefulness. It is now a tool to get southerners to go and slave in northern villages in the name of NYSC. The worst part is that these children are often targets of sectarian violence by the locals. |
Ofodirinwa:^^^^^ Ikengawo, You hatred for Anambra is futile and unnecessary. You can hate it as much as you like, it will always remain a key Igbo state. Your childish anti-Anambra outbursts just to tempt the likes of Chino to go on e-war with you and derail the thread even suggest you indeed may not be Igbo as people are getting to scrutinize posters here very closely. Some of the people here are truly not Igbo and i agree with folks that are tasking them about who they really are. All those tasking them are not necessarily anambra people. Some are even from Delta state i you have followed their post over time. So why do you always have a bitter taste for Anambra people all the time? Did an Anambra girl jilt you and you are just unable to get over it? |
Until 2019 election is over, every month they will "INSPECT" this bridge and see only the same two pillars. The INSPECTIONS will stop after 2019 elections, then we can wait for another round of inspection of the two pillars in 2023 until the elections are over. Buhari is seriously laughing at SE sensibilities with the games he is playing with this project he knows the SE desperately want completed.

hammer6F:Yes 2 five star hotels were started in Anambra. One in Onitsha and the other in Agulu. The one in Agulu is completed and now known as Golden Tulip Resort, Agulu. The one in Onitsha was concessioned to a private company that has since abandoned it. |
hammer6F:I think you meant AGULU |
Not even one single transformer has been bought since NEPA facilities were given to these thieves. Apart from the various state governments buying transformers and helping communities, these distrivution companies have failed Nigeria. Now, power generating companies should be given to private investors. Dangote and other rich Nigerians should build power generating companies. Government cannot build enough power plants to give Nigeria sustainable electricity. |
