How about kickbacks that are often imposed on the contractor? Pay me this amount or no more jobs for you. Pay this to the guy who facilitated/fast-tracked the approvals? This one is for the office? That one is for oga, the oga never asks directly

that one too is another problem

Where's malami right now please?


This is innocent question

If you keep going like this, how do you want to sustain your business.

You delivered what you were paid for. Whatever business the father wants, you should be paid for it and it should be new business

Well today was eventful and success.

Delivered every job on my hands.

Starting tomorrow, I will be working on restocking my wares.

Make you come buy oh

Installed the keys before moving them to site

Well while talking about building collapse, house owners are sometimes to blame.

Someone will give you a quotation and the next question you will ask is that the next person price is cheaper.

Instead of asking what materials and asking technical questions about what the person wants to do and how to get it done.

Plenty people are hungry and in dire need of funds will collect job and start cutting corners because at the end of the day, profit is the reason people do business. Even hospitals and doctors are looking for profits were

Nna this one tire me. Every building under construction right now will be looking like a dead zone

babadots:
This is sad, very sad indeed.

As suggested by many here, we will have to wait for the investigation report to know the true cause of this calamity. But are reports ever published in Nigeria? Do people get punished for the compromises that lead to loss of life? I am not too hopeful that we will learn from this, since we didn't learn from the previous occurrences, including the Synagogue. Political interference always trump's the health and safety of Nigerians

Anyhow, what we must not forget is that our government do not seem too concerned about the quality of products in use on Nigerian projects. Even made in Nigeria rebars do not comply with global standards upon which engineers rely for their design and specifications. This has always been a concern for me. 12mm, 16mm, 20mm rebars never have the advertised diameter. You can pay for a particular sized bar and be supplied something less than that yet you are expected to take it and not complain. Everyone accepts that as normal behaviour and the regulatory agencies do not care.

SON should have some blame in this. This will, unfortunately, not be the last occurrence until we start holding ourselves accountable.

I was discussing the issue of quality of iron few days ago. If you need 10mm rod now, you need to buy 12mm rods instead to get something close to true 10mm.

My heart goes out to all the families who lost someone in this avoidable incident. Imagine that whenever people say happy new month, you will remember your dead loved one

Started painting the jobs yesterday. They were painted in batches.

First batch was painted yesterday and others today.

The news article is from July 2020 so it must have been 'unsealed' somehow since.

A lot of LASG officials sitting on hot seats right now.

saw some documents about the initial developer abandoning the project because it wasn't built according to plan. Was meant to be a twelve storey.

I don't know how true that is so I can't upload it here

KolaShangOne:
Hmmm.. But is it even possible to build 20 storey buildings without an Engineer? A competent one at that.

Who will interpret the structural drawings?

The vibrations from the collapsed building would have most likely caused issues on the other structures.

I see smaller structures being awarded to construction firms not just an "engineer"

Who will even risk his money just like that? People cut corners true true but I don't believe it's in projects like this

twinskenny:
Nothing like official report… when owner try to be smart this is what happen….

And to all Enginneer that usually jump on a project without due finding… here you have it.

well we will see. It's still too early.

Anyone can claim to be anyone

walexProjects:
It's not an Earthquake ooooh.i work close to that area and if it's an earthquake,Everyone in the office will feel the impact.
The structural engineer is in big Trouble.....
For a multi storey building like this,you don't cut corner and always build to standard.
its sad this is happening.

I know it's not an earthquake. We're not on the fault line of the tectonic plates.

My concern is, what led to this should this building was built with standardized materials and experts

BrickDevo:
bro am telling you, this is only something an insider can confirm, on paper is a multi-billion structure, but in reality, it is just a substandard building.

let's wait for official reports on the collapse

BrickDevo:
. Can't be an earthquake not in Nigeria, Very sad, comot money comot body make dem give you solid building, na to dey find we go give them solid building for the half of the original estimate. What a pity

bros no talk this kind thing. There are things we can't explain yet

Someone won't be cutting corners in a multi billion structure

It's November. Let's make it happen again

Oga na poverty dey cause these things. Say a child went to university at 17 and get a good job then lives in another town.

That's why oyibo dey live for different state from their parents.

Curse ko

Who don curse him pikin to be Dangote

This is beautiful. Congratulations to you both.

When we tell you not to play into the hands of your enemies you go think say we no get balls like men.

They can use a single incident to render this airport useless until they impose their own candidate on us before doing what is necessary

Sorry about the loss. But take consolation on the fact that you gave him your best care

Sorry for your loss once again. Time will heal you. Don't do drugs or you're looking at addiction

Are you furnishing this house?

The idea that someone who treated you bad because of money will go broke and you will become richer is very stupid one.


If you feel bad, make your own money and spend it the way you want

Let them bring live photos.

Anyone can pick up pictures and claim it to be seized from my house

Ruggedniggaone:

mehn. You really need to go back to school and work on your use of English language. It's very important

You need to save first if your income isn't much.

The governor doesn't have any power to propose a security measure but he can be called upon when there's an attack?

Politics is always the problem with Southerners. They'd rather play politics than use their common sense. So Makinde should do nothing till every prison is bombed and the state is thrown into turmoil?

bro, doing the right thing the wrong way is still wrong.

If Makinde wants, let him provide a conducive environment where people get too busy to be criminals. I believe that's a better way to utilize state funds.

We don't need more guns and prisons. We need jobs else people will risk death and prison times when the decision becomes too bad.

This is my opinion Sha. It's not supposed to be right
