I am living now in a house across from the airforce base... Almost every day is one helicopter that passes low over the house and i feel the walls vibrate with strong reverberations... Our building is wood frame and flexible and strong..So no worries here..

But this personal experience makes me believe that TB Joshuas building was built above its permited height and experienced the Common practice of low paid cement mixer/brick layer crew, to take some of the cement home for themsleves and use less than required for the project at hand..
This is enough to put the building at risk and then the kind of reverberation a helicopter can make through a building is powerful and it can reverberate through every grain of sand in the cement mix.. After that, any bad cement mix area will crumble and allow the building to collapse under its own excess weight...

I think the helicopter was not intentional, but maybe a blessing if you consider that the building would otherwise have been finished and then packed to full capacity and beyond with congregation shaking the building with dance and singing and praises... That would reverberate through the bulding as well, and many-many more would be among the casualities than this premature collapse we have now...

you have said it all, the building was not up to standard.
Some people arguing here do not care what happened to the building, they are just about taking the blame off the church management and the engineer.
Controlled demolition? By who? Why?

Smooyis:
I knew all along that they will get to know about this looking at the video clips. The collapse was simply that of a controlled demolition. simple!

then Tb Joshua should be charged with Genocide!

But saying its a controlled demolition is more work for the police and a griever alleged crime for Tb Joshua.
If it is a demolition where are the remnants of the explosives used?

They exist bro. Just not to things like eggs and nuts. I've live all my life in Naija, and I'm allergic to cobwebs. Yes cobwebs

Negro please! who doesnt sneeze when they are near cobwebs?

Wow 3.09 is not bad at all.
Oh me! I forgot Nigeria has its maximum cgpa at 5.0.
Here in the states, it is 4.0

These americans (wont call them AA, why dont other As call themselves EA) have had their blood corrupted with that of other races.
Here in Africa, allergies are almost nonexistent.

Na toycraft you dey call aircraft
Where dat tin wan fly go

a 'toycraft' is more feasible, building an aircraft meant to carry people require serious and back-breaking regulations and standards, expensive to meet up with.
but a small aircraft can just easily be used as a surveillance or battle drone.

Yes, a rumoured supporter of boko haram enjoys army protection but a certain lawmaker lost those priveleges because he lost his seat because of a part of the constitution, the constitution he should be familiar with.

BluIvy:
What the hell are you talking about or did you quote the wrong paragraph for your yeye corrections? Did you read your dumb post before making corrections?

Where ko, were ni?

who replies tellwisdomm? He is nairaland's chief resident saddist.

I suspect some northern elements are trying to pin it on MEND, not saying that those elements are even responsible for the collapse at first.
I smell an orchestration.

igbsam:
Nigeria is fighting a silent war and we are all siting on our computers typing and claiming we know nothing cos we are schooling in france or kafanchan. Well, its only a matter of time before it all gets out of hand. We had better start preparing ourselves.

wow, I didn't know things have deteriorated to such an extent, here in Italy, Nigeria is hardly on the news.

I would have helped you interpret if I wasnt doing my masters in Donetsk, Ukraine. here we speak russian.

Probably he over stepped his boundary..

what of if the guy slapped the girl.
Would you be saying this?
Some girls need to drop this nasty behaviour and be civilised.
If she was harassed, she could have reported, the law will shift to her favour.

This matter of Arabic inscription worths to be discussed.
As a matter of fact, Nigeria is not in any way an Arabic nation nor it's a christian nation. it's an heterogeneous society with heterogeneous religion as well.
From the inception of Nigeria existence, controversy had been on which language should be made generic in Nigeria due to her naturally disintegrated society. English language was picked.
In all educational institutions we have in Nigeria, English language is given more recognition even far more than our mother tongues.
I have not seen any vestices of Arabic in the Nigerian history. So how come we have the inscriptions on our currency even to the extent of adding it on the Nigerian Army emblem. That's somehow.
Some people who are religion bigots are going to attribute these insights to hatred for the Hausas.
Ofcourse Hausa's have their own traditional language which I believe so much can stand for them. As we all know we have just three major ethnic groups in this nation: Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
Most Yorubas and Igbos are christians. And we have catholics amongst them too. Should we because of this represent the Yoruba's language as Hebrew or Latin on our national currency.
The currency is not supposed to bear any form of religion thing at all.
The languages inscribed on our currency should only be used to represent the three major ethnic group in their "originality". Arabic is not the original or the traditional language of the Hausas, that's just the fact...however on no account should it be considered.

lemme point out something.
Hausa just like most languages originally has a spoken form but not a written form, it was scripted to Arabic/ajami just like how igbo, french, yoruba, ibibio are written in English Alphabets.
But hausa has the advantage of also being scripted in english alphabets. but this is not an argument valid enough because
Denominations are identified by the design and arabic numerals on them, no one would pick up the naira and read the letters on it, no one reads ''one hundred naira'', but identifies '100', Awolowo and the reddish tint of the note.

tbaba1234:
Seun and mods

Correction: It is not an 'islamic' script but an arabic script which makes it easier for the uneducated who can read the arabic to identify the note. That was the wisdom behind the script.

The script itself has nothing to do with islam.

who would know how to read arabic letters and not know how to read arabic numerals?

vedaxcool:
Most Hausa would probably learn Ajami before english, most no english at all!

Leaving the Ajami on the naira would preserve the writing system from extinction!

fail!

How would not having an inconsequential phrase on the Naira make Aljami go extinct?

abubello:
when are they going to remove the arabic numerals from the Naira?

why argue so much for arabic letters when you have arabic numerals?
Is there anybody who can read arabic letters and wont know the numerals?

Idrismusty97:
Is your state laws written in Latin? This government is dividing Nigerians along Ethnic lines. Since it has gotten to this point all Latin alphabets should also be scrapped out of our naira. English is our national language after all.

can English be written in Aljami/Arabic?

maclatunji:
The essence of the currency is for people to use it, if you make it difficult for a good part of the people it is meant for to identify and use it, then you have only proven to be myopic.

I also find it funny that the opponents of the Arabic script are motivated by hate and to a lesser extent fear. Removing the scripts will not change their fear or reduce their hate. I find it amusing as a result.

you are only talking about hate.
you are not talking about the cause of the hate you percieve which is forceful islamisation.
For crying out loud, cant Hausa be used instead!

maclatunji:

the same as the essence for a general official language. It is expected of every citizen to understand the basics.
And even at that, Arabic is strongly intertwined with religion, Islam just like latin and hebrew to christianity and judaism, unlike Hausa.
And again, are 1,2,3... not arabic numerals? Wont those who know arabic understand?

There is more to Nigeria than the bloody presidency! What will your buhari rule if there is no Nigeria?

Government should ban houseboy, housegirl!
