Nothing special about Lagos. I've lived there as a Yoruba man. Some of the most well traveled people I know always avoid Lagos. Exposure is very important.
I am curious to know why you have to let us know you are a Yoruba man, no true yoruba man would feel the urge to announce is ethnicity to get some validation on the internet

Copy the second most unlivable city in the world

The world has already become a global village thanks to internet and if people can copy pictures of cities in other countries and claim it as Tinubu’s achievement someone else can copy good examples from these countries too and replicate it in their own domain

Stop this nonsense narrative and grow up
When the ranking was made, only LAGOS STATE was considered worthy of being called a city that matches world standards, the rest Nigerian cities were not ranked.

Three years after this post, we are bombarded with news of another building collapse in Nigeria. This time around, the collapsed building took the life of the owner.
May God grant the bereaved families the fortitude to bear the loss.

Thanks for sending this lovely fully detached design. However, the request was actually for a SEMI-DETACHED design for a 50x100ft plot. Do you indeed have any?

Thanks again.

I believ this is a good move to checkmate the ridiculous rate of Building collapse in Nigeria, I stated this in this article https://www.nairaland.com/4466821/major-causes-building-collapse-nigeria
To avoid the hustle and tustle with Lagos state building approval agancies, Make sure every aspect of your building process is intact starting with Building designs and finally supervision by a competent building construction firm.
Check out the link below for directions to a building construction firm you can trust and avoid getting a letter from Lagos state building control agency.

@podosci. Thanks for your article on the Ajaokuta saga. An article by Kalu Aja regarding the Ajaokuta mess is also worth reading. After reading the article by Kalu Aja, you will weep at the corruption that bedevils our dear country.

Nice piece, but what happens when you submit your project for approval and somebody only wants "money-in-hand" before authorizing. In this case the agency does not even review your documents, just pay as you go

That's one factor that discourages builders from doing the right thing.
The building approval agencies need overhauling

Properties / The "Nigerian Raft Foundation" And Four Mistakes To Avoid by podosci(m): 6:47am On Aug 18, 2018
Building design and construction standards are tailored to suit the environmental, social and economic conditions of individual countries, these modifications are recommended by the Building regulatory bodies of individual countries after a series of research and experiments. In Nigeria, these modifications take place without the backing or recommendations of our building regulatory agencies, resulting in structures that fail to meet relevant building design and construction codes. One of these modified construction techniques is the construction of Raft foundation which I have termed the “Nigerian Raft Foundation”.
Raft foundations are used in soils with relatively low bearing capacity, where a pad foundation might result in uneconomical pad footings and differential settlement of the foundation. The raft foundation helps to spread the load of the building over the soil and ensures even settlement of the foundation. There are different types of raft foundations each suited to tackle the loading and soil configurations of a project. We have a flat slab raft, an upstand beam raft, a down stand beam raft and a cellular raft.
The Nigerian raft foundation like other modified construction techniques lacks the backing of relevant civil engineering literature and in extreme modifications differ completely from the standard raft foundation.
Below are three mistakes to avoid while constructing the “The Nigerian Raft Foundation”.

-A Geotechnical investigation (Soil Test) Must Be Carried Out
There is a tendency to avoid a geotechnical investigation (soil test) in most Nigerian building projects due to ignorance about the cost by prospective homeowners and incompetence by the builders. The deductions from a geotechnical test indicate the type of foundations to be employed, of which the results are used directly in the design of the foundations. In Nigeria, the values used in the design of common foundations like strip foundation and pad foundations are assumed based on the adopted values of a particular region but for a Raft foundation these values cannot be assumed and must be gotten from the results of a geotechnical test.
Constructing a Raft foundation without a soil test to reveal prerequisite information like the depth of foundation, bearing capacity and settlement rate of the soil is akin to wandering the desert without a compass. This soil test result is a prerequisite in the design process of the raft foundation.

-The Raft Foundation Must Be Structurally Designed

The Nigerian building construction industry is plagued with the construction of Storey buildings without structural drawings partly due to the inefficiency of the building approval agency to enforce building construction standards and ignorance of some builders.
Raft foundation like other structural members requires the attention of a structural engineer to estimates loads, sizing of structural members and provision of adequate reinforcements.

-Reinforcement Must Be Provided for The Raft Slab
Due to a lack of understanding of the literature governing the design and construction raft foundations, the Nigerian building construction industry is plagued with raft foundations without reinforced raft slabs.
In Nigeria, what is commonly termed as “DPC” in raft foundation construction is actually the Raft slab, of which it is the most important structural member of the raft foundation. For example, the flat slab raft consists of just the raft slab and the columns and does not have a raft beam. The raft slab is usually neglected and emphasis placed on the Raft beam resulting in extreme cases of the Nigerian raft foundation in which the raft slab is constructed without steel reinforcement.
A foundation without reinforced raft slab should be called a reinforced strip foundation and not a raft foundation or we can also term it a “Nigerian Raft Foundation “.
-Avoid sancrete blocks in your raft foundation
The most extreme case of the Nigerian raft foundation is the introduction of sancrete blocks in the raft foundation. The sancrete blocks are introduced between the raft beam and raft slab in an attempt to cut the cost of construction. This practice stems from ignorance of basic construction procedures and it is also very dangerous as it might lead to a fatal collapse of the structure. This is Nigerian raft foundation In its purest form.

Making any or all of the above-mentioned mistakes can result in building deformation or in extreme cases, building collapse. There is a need for the relevant building regulatory agencies to ensure strict compliance with standard building construction practices especially in the construction of Raft Foundations.

That is your own opinion...it is people like you who jump to buy imported weight loss tea from india or china not knowing you are buying corn silk extract you can make on your own.
Personally, I don't believe in any shortcut to weight loss.
If you are FAT, exercise like hell and stop eating anyhow, apply this two things and you would naturally reduce weight.
But seriously, if you have a medical problem, Go TO A GOD DANM HOSPITAL, If you happen to live in a third world country like Nigeria, Find your way out to a sane country and get yourself treated. Very simple.
There very few diseases that are beyond the healing hands of modern medical science and the probability of having an incurable disease is 1/10000000000000.
Its only in Africa that medical issues are taking to the church/mosque or unverified herbal treatment before the person considers going for treatment in the hospital
