Here is a popular joke back in the day about women saying no.

A guy trying his luck invites a girl to his house, after refreshments, movies and music tries to get things going. He pulls next to her on the sofa and puts his hands on her thighs, and her responds goes like this:-

Please No do not Touch Me

Then the guys starts to romance the thighs, our lady responds:-

Please Do Not Touch

Our guy continues by pulling up the skirt and massaging the fresh, soft and warm thighs, and the girl responds:-

Please Do Not

Then the Guy goes further up and feels the pant and the "hole" and the girls moans:-

Please Do

Then finally our guy sticks a finger and then two fingers into the hole, sliding it in and out and our girls screams:-

Pleeeassse,

Lets talk

I seem to have stirred the hornet's nest here. I must apologize for slightly derailing the topic at hand, but i see the subject of architecture connected to all other aspect of life as an African.

Also i must confess i might have sounded too negative in comparing our civilization to others, it was unintended, i am one of the proudest African you will ever find.

I must commend everyone responding to my post for being very civil because these issues can easily inflame passions and degenerate to insults. I had learnt a few thing along the way, as nobody has monopoly of knowledge, we should all learn from each other.

Now let me state my position:-
I am a student of civilizations (but i must concede that my study of African civilizations especially sub-saharan Africa is limited. Having said that my position is still very consistent.

All civilizations starts out primitive (no puns intended), what i mean primitive is that Language, Arts, Architecture, Writing, Poetry, technology, sociology, etc, starts out rudimentary, But as the society evolves these things get more complex and advance. Each society evolves at its own rate. But usually a more advanced society assimilates a less advanced one and the latter either incorporates some elements of the more advanced society of abandons all its own altogether. Sub- Saharan Africa is at the danger of abandoning all its civilization and embracing western civilization hook, line and sinker. That is why anybody who has lived in a western capital for a few months or have seen some hollywood movies would disparage every thing indigenous, including Architecture, religion, fashion, etc. Most of them forget that they left their villages only a few years back.

I am not denigrating pre-colonial Architecture, Arts, Poetry, religion or even technology, What I am saying is that in comparison to western or oriental civilizations, we are still a few thousand years behind and we can not be expected to catch up instantly. I hate it when someone denigrates our Architecture or Culture.

The form of writing found in indigenous Africa was similar to what was found in Babylon or Egypt over 4000 years ago,it was also the form of writing found in Aztec and Britain in  pre-Roman times.  Same for Architecture, Arts, Language and even technology. These societies were building Triangular towers(like those posted by ezeagu, more than 5000 yrs ago.

AS further example, Europe experienced a technological revolution about 300yrs ago, US experienced it not long after, Japan only experienced it about 60yrs ago, China only experienced it about 20yrs. So let us also come to the realization that we cannot be expected to catch up technologically  with Europe over night.  Because we are not technologically as advance as Europe or China does not make me feel less important, it should spur me and other Nigerians into looking into our technological challenges and attempt to resolve it, instead of disparaging it and comparing it to others. That is why i said you have to learn to crawl before you can learn to fly.  

I do apologize once more for derailing the thread.

ezeagu:

It's not my job to be history teacher, if you honestly believe poets didn't exist until Brazilians arrived to Nigeria then I'd suggest you look into the history of what became Nigeria further.

An alphabet isn't the only form of writing, and a form of writing existed before foreigners showed up.

I don't know how to help you. Please, tell me what architecture is.

You wasted your money on whichever educational establishment you visited. If this was an attempt to trick me into educating you, then I'm sorry, you'll have to go and humanise your ancestors yourself. I guess you also believe all Africans wore leaves before a foreigner taught them how to make clothes? Whatever.

As usual all sweeping generalization without any substance, yes i know that there were other forms of writing outside alphabet, but you did not give any example or even a googled link to the form of writing in pre-colonial Nigeria.

I never specifically said that we had no poet, what i said that we do not have any evidence of the poetry since we had no form of writing.

I never said all Africans wore leaves, what i said is that people in present day Nigeria did not have writing and advance technical knowledge or sciences before our contact with foreigners. And i want you to help dispute this.

Are you supposed to be a Nigerian architect, what did you study exactly? Nigerian kingdoms had kings who will have to have to have poets, artists, and writers (in the wider sense) to carry on a successful reign and to put their names into history. I can't believe a Nigerian architecture student is arguing for Nigerians not having burial places or religious structures until 150 years ago. Really?

Tell me, do you think the following buildings had no planner or designers, that they were just made from heaps of mud one day?

You are just arguing for the sake of argument. When arguing from an enlightened point of view you state facts and figures, you do not use statements like " Nigerian kingdoms had kings who will have to have to have poets, artists, and writers". You should state the kingdoms, the names prominent poets, artists and writers, besides there could not be writers in precolonial Nigeria, because we did not have an alphabet, i think it should be obvious that you need alphabets to write letters. We had to adopt colonial alphabets. No doubt we had art before contact with Europeans or Arabs, but poetry, i do not know as there is no evidence.

All the pictures you posted shows no Architecture - Art yes but architecture no. Please show me evidence of Architecture before contact with the Europeans or Arabs

To further deflate your Ego, i will educate you that apart form architecture and writing, pre-colonial Nigeria had no Number system, no mathematics, no astronomy, no formal monetary system, no science, meanwhile ancient China, Greece, Egypt, Rome, Babylon, Persia, etc had all these.

ezeagu:

I don't know any, just like I don't know any architects of ancient China. Can you name a textile designer before 150 years ago? Does that mean there were no textiles back then?

I give up.
But in Ancient China just like in ancient Egypt, there monarchs had palace Architects, Poets, Painters, writers and priests. That was why the Kings were able to build elaborate palaces , burial places and religious structures. We did not have such, except of course in your village.

ezeagu:

So it was only huts and caves built before 150 years ago? You're saying there was no such thing as a designer or architect before 150 years ago?

Please name one architect or designer before the repatriated Brazilian slaves

ezeagu:

How can Nigerian architecture be 150 years old?

When i say Nigerian Architecture, i mean architecture as conception and designing by an architect or master builder before construction. Except you want to term a hut and even a cave as Architecture

ezeagu:

And this is where you 'architects' go wrong.

Please oblige to educate me where we "architects go wrong"

Thanks in advance

This  is a very important subject and I am obliged to respond as an architect because we are being indicted collectively and individually.

Nigerians by their negative response are showing their usual arrogant attitude without considering the issue in greater depth, this attitude pervades all facets of our lives, be it economic, industrial, artistic, sports, etc. We want to fly before we learn how to crawl.

Nigerian Architecture is evolving naturally and progressively, it is a great misnomer and disservice to compare Nigerian Architecture to European Architecture or even Oriental Architecture which are over 2,000 years. These Architecture evolved according to the social, economic, political and artistic need of their respective societies, and these evolution is still going on even today. Nigerian Architecture on the other hand is barely 150yrs old, the first so called Modern Nigerian Architecture was brought by repatriated Brazillian slaves and they were not even professionals. The study of Architecture by our Universities is barely 50years and people expect us to rival Greek Architecture. Even the word Architecture is barely understood by the majority of our population including some very enlightened people even on Nairaland. Most people confuse the Architect with Engineer, contractor, project manager, etc, I have met only very few people who understand the real role or importance of the Architect and are ready to pay appropriately.

I laugh when people say our Residential Architecture is blocks and concrete, what else do you expects? Architecture reflects the social needs of a people and the most important factor in Nigerian architecture today is that of Security. 

1. Security against intruders ;- Armed robbers, Kidnappers, Assassins, Area Boys,  Boko Haram, etc. This is very important in our Urban Cities. Even with high barbed wired fences and all, people are still assassinated and robbed with impunity. This is responsible the prison like burglary proof surrounding our windows, door and balconies and also for the solid block interiors and exteriors of our residences.

2. Security against insects especially against Mosquitoes: - I believe this is the most serious impediment to both indigenous and modern architecture. Windows, doors and fenestration into our villages huts and buildings are kept at a minimum, barely enough to allow breathing. This is to reduce mosquitoes as much as possible as they had no mosquito nets. Even in Modern Urban residencies, accommodating both burglary proofs and mosquito nets within the same window can be architecturally frustrating.

I had always dreamt of designing spacious outdoor dining areas overlooking a swimming pool or lush gardens or Designing curtain walls by dining rooms overlooking gardens as seen in European design. But when you consider having to put in burglary proofs along the whole length of the wall, then the whole purpose is defeated.

Also our level of industrial development has to be considered when criticizing our Architecture. When virtually all the materials used in building except sand and granite  is imported, thereby pushing the cost of construction way beyond the reach of the average person, then design and aesthetic takes a back seat. At least before blaming the architects reserve some blame for the Government, the materials and metallurgical engineers, etc.

In conclusion, Architecture reflects the fears, hopes, aspiration and level of development of a people and I believe that to a large extent Nigerian Architecture reflects these.

@kingjay2011
I have found you a clean 07 camry, are you still interested?

I strongly disagree with you on the above statement (the topic), Masses are followers while politicians are leaders. Masses follow politicians leads. Politicians usually have monopoly of violence and cohesion and so masses are helpless unless they have divine help like Israel or foreign help like Libya. Imagine what the Libyan masses can do without outside help.

The situation is even worse in a situation where the people has be pauperized and traumatised has is done in Nigeria and most sub Saharan nation, where the is a daily struggle between survival and morality.

Remember Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia and Silliness's Italy, the society was a wicked and corrupt as their leader, until they were disposed mainly with outside help.

When you say politicians you should include religious leaders and traditional leaders, because they are no different from the true politicians.

Any more interests?

kingjay2011:

Do you have an 08, V6 and leather seat available?

Sorry, I do not have the above specs. But i could order your exact specs for you.

If you are interested i could give you a quote, find your exact specs, send you the pics for confirmation and then have it delivered at your door steps within 6weeks after paying a deposit of between 30 - 40%.

chi101:

Is the car manual?

Can I pay 1.25 for it?

It is manual transmission.

Sorry N1.25 does not come close. That price would not even get you a flood damaged or salvaged one.

Thanks for the offer anyway

I have a very clean Toyota Camry with clean Certificate of Title and not salvaged or flood damaged that will land at Tin Can Island on 25th of May. I will give it at N1.85million. If you request, i can send you pictures.

You did not inform us whether you already have a building plan or you want one drawn out for you.
If you already have the architectural design, then you will need to let us have them. If you just want to start from scratch, then we will have to discuss the architectural drawings first before yo can even begin to mention cost.
