I hope a lawyer can give us an angle on this.

Lifts? In a Nigeria with little or no power supply?

Imagine this scenario: A woman coming back from the local market, three kids coming back from school and an elderly Papa coming from a check up at the hospital are going up the third floor, suddenly, NEPA seized the lights and the 5 occupants are trapped in the elevator.

A check at the nearest NEPA office reveals that the transformer is blown beyond repair. How do you handle this catastrophe?

The occupants use manual stairs to get to their flats.

There is dignity in silence.

This Keshi's son should learn how to close his mouth,so he does not turn our sympathy for his family into a political discuss.

Your father has not even been buried,and you want to pick a fight with the Government?are you serious?

Nigeria mourns your dad,but we owe him nothing. Your father did not serve Nigeria for free,there are those that died doing things for Nigeria for free,and their family have been gracious not to politicize anything.

There have been hundreds of Corpers,who have died serving this Country. There have been hundreds of Military people who died fighting Boko Haram.

There was Rashidi Yekini and Samuel Okwaraji,and countless others who never got the kind of money your father made from Nigeria,but even served more than him.

Yet you ungrateful lad is still complaining.

What exactly did you want from the Government?when your father left Nigeria,he went to Togo. So what does this mean?it means he was a mercenary who served different countries.

All life is special,and your dad's death is not more important than the death of any other Nigerian.

Go take a look at the videos of Boko Haram slitting the throats of our Soldiers,and yet your father died of a natural cause,far richer than the Soldiers getting their throats slit for the Country.

This over pampered boy should keep his mouth shut,and mourn his dad with dignity.

Hey are you ok? If a national coach does not deserve an honour after death cos he was paid for the services, how come a politheifcian that looted a nation to poorverty is honourd during and after death?

Don't get me all wrong. She asked me out six months after we came out from camp, saying she's been crushing on me. And called me on my birthday and d next thing she came over, we did some talking and the love story began.

As a professional Engineer with COREN and vast years of experience, I wont support concrete capping on foundation block walls. Nevertheless, Circumstances make engineers/ builers sometimes compromise to this when clients give excuse of finance.

Technically, it is wrong.. Reason is just two..

1. The floor slab is suppose to be be monolithic. Casting the floor space later will cause tiny cracks along the joint... Concrete expand that is why you hear of expansion joint.. On this case.. No expansion joint.

2. When floor slab is casted monolithically, the weight of the slab is distributed evenly to all the support : Rammed floor, block wall, solid filled block wall and column as the case maybe.. Casting floor later mean the floor slab is supported solely by the rammed floor.. This is not good.

Conclusively, damping could have been managed if adequate provision of DPM was given or water repellents where used during the capping... The OP highlighted the location was water free with good Soil bearing capacity ... Which means her methodology of building is the within fair range...

But.. OP.. Put this in mind.. All Buildings have life span... Your methodology above must have in one way or the other reduced its life span.

To those asking where Coren wrote where u cant cap or separate your floor slab... There is no where u will see that.. What you will see in engineers design code where it is clearly stated that floor slab or suspended slab must be casted monolithically.
