Wow... This can be a tourist attraction

How do these people hope to enjoy electricity with these type of housing, where will you run the wires and electrical outlets

Fantastic

God bless your Creative Mind [color=#006600][/color]

this is superb.

Great! This idea can be developed further. The plastic bottles can be produced in the shape of interlocking blocks specifically for that. Can then be filled with mud to produce very cheap solid blocks.

I Need a problem, and why you it too

I hope this will proffer a solution to the scarcity of low cost houses in Nigeria. We have more than enough mud and clay in Nigeria.

WoW!!

thank God this wasnt created by the Igbos we for no rest today

Deceptive innovation.....

This is amazing! Happy Birthday to me, myself, and I. God bless my NEW age.

bluaero:
Nice concept.

Did you say bullet proof Gerrarahia mehn...

Have you wondered why Soldiers (all over the world) stand behind Sand Bags ?

Have you seen that the bottles were filled with SAND ?

Can you now see the connection between the SAND bags ans the SAND in the bottles, relating to BULLETS?

wow im really impressed now if they can be broadcasted on a larger platform they could help solve housing and pollution problems

oboy this is creativity at its peak.naija really got talent

it a new development, it welcomed. Nigerian has talented people!

These Nigerians take the recycling award because they are building homes, which are fireproof, bulletproof, and eco-friendly using plastic bottles and mud!!

The technique used to build these innovative homes is called bottle walls. Plastic bottles are filled with mud and then stacked with cement. These houses produce zero carbon emissions and maintain good temperatures. The best part is this technique addresses pollution and shortage of housing simultaneously.

The people of our great nation are blessed with excellent talent, all we need is how to harness it and manage it financially and in line with our needs in the society.
God bless Nigeria.

With the cost of plastic bottles in Nigeria, that won't come cheap.

Good concept.

This is one of the best things to make front page recently.

I doubt this idea was originally created by Nigerians though. I believe I have seen something similar in a documentary some yrs back.

- very good for hot weather environments.
- cheap to build (raw materials, mud and plastics are littered everywhere).
- yes, bullet proof against light weight weapons. The mud in the bottles are compressed unlike block walls that are usually hollow.

See the guy even ensuring a truly vertical plumb line.

Didi I just read 'bullet proof'?

And who says Nigerians are not creative?

all mud houses are bullet proof

They can still use water bottles to light up their homes

creative! but bulletproof?

We need skyscrapers everywhere not this!
We need ultra modern cities in Nigeria.

I agree it's a nice concept though.

Clap for them oooooooooo. Guniness book of record

Hausa's you people better continue building cos Biafra is going soon. #BIM

This is amazing!

timawoku:
Very nice but some questions come to mind:

1) Can it stand the test of time? I.e weather?
2) How solid is the foundation?
3)Is the plastic bottle beneficial to the structure of the building or simply for design?
4) Is the mud heated or just plain mould?
5) Am I an architect or government abi which one be my own sef?
6)Una never tire to read? Oya click on like for nothing

When rain beat you under bridge, you will answer those questions yourself.

Fantastic and quite creative!

Yes is bullet proof building? No mata cls d bullet it stock in between it? Check army barrcks nd check point sack fill wit sand is der barricades

Beautiful!
