There are several of them in Lagos. I’ve shared many of them here.

somehow:


The areas you're talking about didn't start existing 10yrs ago, they have been existing for as old as Lagos itself, so I am still trying to understand the 'rush",' patience', and "wait" comment.

Up till now, alot of places on the mainland still get flooded during rainy season, this is a known fact, maybe they were also in a rush to build.

I am at a loss here but I move.

somehow:


Areas like?

n3xt:


Lekki Scheme II with 3,095 residential plots, 64 commercial plots, 47 mixed development plots, 26 institutional plots and 17 recreational plots; Abijo GRA and the likes.

It has everything in place

n3xt:


Exactly my point above!

The approach is what we call “fix-along-as-you-build” approach.

So you don’t expect such approach to fix anything. There’ll always be flooding, building collapse and failures because we failed to do things the right way.

somehow:


So you are saying government built infrastructure before people started building there?

The same Lekki scheme 2 and Abijo?

Knowing the number of plots and their destination is not the definition of building infrastructure.

Some areas in these places you just mentioned still suffer flood and traffic issues. One of my wife's bosses have a house around there.

Had to move closer to escape the stress he was facing.

Like I said, there is no area in Lagos in the past 20 years that Govt developed the infrastructures before people moved there.

Not even a government known to be reactive than proactive.

I rest my case.

somehow:


As for the blaming of homeowners for building collapse, I will leave that to others to take you on.

It's like blaming a patient outrightly for dying in the hands of a doctor who's supposed to be a professional.

n3xt:



1996 - date should be about 25 years ago.

Lekki Scheme II was conceived 25 years ago and there has been infrastructure development there since over one and half decade. I mean solid road and drainage to individual plots.

I did several projects there (several years ago) that I've showcased here. It's not a fix-along-as-you-build type of development.

somehow:


So people should pulse their lives and dreams hoping on a Govt (at all levels) that only act when there are issues?

somehow:


People have been moving and living there before govt moved one tractor there.

They still have flood issues.

I am telling you 1st hand information from one of the residents, not story story.

The man is even building an estates inside Abijo as we speak but moved away from that area.

n3xt:


That the government is wrong or slow to act doesn't make doing wrong right.

n3xt:




Failure is inevitable sir if we continue to do thing the wrong way. The roads will still get flooded when we chose to block the drain instead of building proper slab over the drains built by government.

Obviously, you dont follow most of my builds here. We discussed most of these challenges many years ago.

I was even found culpable in one of my threads. I blocked the drain with sand.

Guess why?

We were in a rush to get materials on site that we cant wait to build proper slab over drainage provided by the government. So we (myself and the client) agreed to block the drain.

Shebi na temporary thing ni? Thats how flooding start.


We are always in a rush that we no longer care about consequences of our actions.

For those who want to take on me, I'd recommend you go through this thread Building Collapse, Construction Failures - Who's To Blame? https://www.nairaland.com/3149390/building-collapse-construction-failures-whos#46319667
I released that hit album in 2016


I will take full responsibility if my house collapse because I am the one who picked all the pieces including the supposed 'professional.'

somehow:


You will apply for approval, months later, you still wouldn't get approved. Just approval o.

mobileboy:
Good evening elders in the house, please help your son scrutinize and review this plan for my upcoming building, land size is 60ft by 40ft

This is for the ground floor

n3xt:


I got this from someone here yesterday. I think experience shaped him.

That’s why he decided to take it slow!

somehow:

It all depends on the circumstances surrounding why approval is delayed or not given.

Then the area in question.

mobileboy:
this is first floor

Goodmorning people, i need answers to this .How long after roofing wood work should roofing sheet( stone coated ) can be installed. I hv heard 28days after . Pls share ur opinion. Thanks

n3xt:


Ok.

These happened to some folks here..... they'd be able to give better counsel.

kopell:
You’re right on this one there are many other estates like that, couple of them around Lagos. They have put infrastructure on the estate for the last 20 years trust me probably you’ll see 30 houses it was planned for over 3000 houses, because they knew government lands are secure. 90% of people buying those state lands we’re not ready to build anything, but buy for chicken change then. They have in mind to selling for millions a few years later, that’s why most of the place are not developed. Until government starts revoking all those lands for immediate development otherwise many of those areas will never developed. I remember Fashola did that @ Lekki face2 then.

Not bad

Thanks

somehow:


They should let us know the stage at which this happened and the activities that went on before then if they see it fit for knowledge purposes.

bukolo:
thank you.

Me old ke, when we have Hajj and Mummy Gabby for house

I’m a spring chicken.

n3xt:


Baba, remember I said don't take me too serious.

This is the way I'd just be sharing my stuff. You're not compelled to take me serious.

Some of us are shaped by the experience we gather from other people's mistake and then there are others who chose to be the other people we learn from. The owners of those demolished structures I shared above are here with us and I pray we never had to go through a situation where all we worked for will go down right in from of us and we will now be asked to come and explain how it happened for knowledge purpose.

If you don't mind we are an expert on the hand railings
Thanks sir
