I condemn his act of beating his lecturer and someone older than him and a woman for that matter. 3 crimes in one.
However the Lecturer should also face punishment from either the court or from the school for throwing a Tea Mug at him which triggered the said beating.

That her action is a violent act that shouldn't go unpunished.

Legalmachineup:
Can I build a 4 bedroom duplex with 4 or 5 inches block with enough pillar
I would advise your to use 9 inches for the external walls and o inches for the major walls in the building.
The reason is simple, there is the tendency for iron workers and wood workers to automatically make the columns (pillars) to become the size of the blocks used. For instance you Make a wall to be 4 inches, they make the pillars along that wall to be 4 inches to avoid it shooting out of the wall. Because in their own wisdom it's not good for pillar to shoot out.
So to save your building from having low capacity columns, use 9 inches.
Also when Electrical and Mechanical workers come to site, they break blocks to run their pipes. Some pipes are 4 inches!!

I am so pained very well.
This year alone I know how many buildings I gave the quotation to clients and they complained of high price and gave to cheap road side contractors.
Quality comes with a cost. A client gave me funds to build foundation, we had agreed on the price and he paid me. When constructing he saw that I made it X3 higher than what he expected he became angry. I told him I am a COREN Certified Structural Engineer, and I have a whole profession to protect and my name also.
He insisted i reduce it i said never. If i reduce it, i would save some millions for myself since he had already paid me, but i wont be able to sleep at night. That was how when I finished the Ground floor (german floor), he gave the work to another eager Engineer willing to do whatever he says.

The case of Ikoyi is a different thing because the soil of Ikoyi is extremely WEAK. But the land is extremely EXPENSIVE. That is an irony.
Lekki on the other hand is mostly sandy. And sand has good Engineering properties especially sharp sand
