Lagos Building Collapse: 3 Dead, 3 Rescued As Search Continues by Nobody: 6:11pm On Nov 01, 2021
Fifty people were reportedly inside the building when it caved in.

At least three corpses were recovered from the rubbles of a 21-storey building that collapsed in Lagos on Monday.
Daily Trust

”Three persons have been brought out alive so far. We don’t know how many are still trapped. Meanwhile, we are moving in the Military to take over operations because it is beyond the capacity of the civil operators.

“We don’t want it to be like the Synagogue case where it took seven to eight days”.
VANGUARD

South West Coordinator of the NEMA, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, told Vanguard that efforts were being made to invite the Military to take over the operation.

They must have given this project to a bad and greedy contractor who is more consigned about his pocket

Or the owner of the building is small money to build a big project.


But this picture is confusing me, those blocks are really big

Lagos engineers need to pay more attention to the kinds of material quality they use in building .. all they think about is money money money .. it’s not nice .. they should provide quality building… and not just fake .. the foundation I guess wasn’t solid enough to hold what came on top …

What most property owners do these days is to set a death-trap inform of buildings , lure people with fine interiors and fine exteriors and then kill them. Killing people isn't just by shooting , stabbing, or poisoning them. The subtle way now is through collapsing of building. We may say it's not their fault, but when they use cheap materials and reduce cement to sand ratio, is it now my own fault? Maybe, most of them in lagos are ritualists.

Holly molly cry cry cry cry

What can be the cause of the collapse? Substandard materials, cutting corners, wrong man handling the job or what?

I pray the rest makes it out alive.

In the US, all artisans have their certificates hence a mason man is mason man and not someone that thinks he can do it.

A carpenter is trained to do so and not all these untrained carpenters in Nigeria.

Using untrained individuals can cause this catastrophe.
