Nigerian Singer, Lasbery, And Others Stuck For Hours In An Elevator In Lekki by Johnnyessence(op): 1:46pm On Feb 08, 2018
Nigerian singer, Lasberry and others were stuck for hours without help in an elevator in Lekki today.
According to him, the fire service were not responding when they reached out for help and they had to figure a way out themselves. Watch below.

Thank God dey made it out alive.

That's why many houses in Onitsha are building high but no plans to put elevators in the tall buildings. I don't think our development has gotten to the extent of fitting elevators on every high rise public building.

I must confess, that's a lame excuse and poor reasoning from you. So because these guys got stuck in one building automatically means we aren't developed yet to be using elevator. Damn... The way some people dey reason sef for dz country get as E be..

With our "excess electricity" and " ever responsive fire services" people may be spending an entire weekend in an elevator.

What are your suggested solutions?

It's not all about Electricity , People do get stuck/trapped in Elevator even in advance countries. We have seen a case where a Man was trapped for months and later found dead. Ben Carson and his wife also stuck in an elevator last year. Why are they still using it over there. Elevator cable do cut in US and other developed Nation, does that stop them from using it?

Do not make the mistake of comparing the services in Nigeria and advanced countries.

It's not about electricity, says an intelligent twerp.
Your basis for comparison is so lame, I can't even say why I bothered to reply this. If it isn't abt steady electricity, what else has been stopping people from building high rise buildings?
Companies and corporations build it in Nigeria because they can afford to power it with diesel generators. Even the cost of it is prohibitive. My kid bro has his office on the 12th floor of Bookshop House on the island. In the mornings, the generator is on to power the elevator when there is no public supply. IN THE MORNINGS ONLY! After the morning rush, the generator is turned off. If you need to go downstairs later, you have to use the stairs. Coming upstairs after the morning rush also means you must use the stairs!!

Private individuals usually limit the number of storeys they build for rentals to 3 or 4 storeys. Because installing and powering elevators on private generators will drive the rental cost over the roof.

We have limited the downside of poor electricity to buildings. How about other factors that drive development? How about its effect on small businesses, factories, health care, education, agriculture, security.....the list is endless. Don't get me started. angry

How many of your houses have you installed an elevator in? That's if you have built a house in the first place.

Lol! Av u seen where a sane person installed an elevator in a one floor 4bed room flat?
It's not all about Electricity. All these long epistle you spew up there is trash. Writing long word doesn't mean you are intelligent. You can help yourself here https://www.renown-electric.com/blog/common-elevator-problems/

Next time you will reason well and consider other factors like mechanical faults before spewing rubbish..

Oga. I'm not fighting you. there's Google.com , You can search for Reasons why Elevators do fail. I'm not a fool when i said its not all about Electricity. You claim to know all but the truth is that we do learn everyday.. Or are you telling me it's only the petrol you fill always in your car that makes your car run perfect?

Some of you love to argue from your rear end. With unstable power supply, why would anyone add to the company's overhead by installing elevators? Some do it but it is an aberration. Nigeria is grossly underdeveloped. Imagine a situation where many 4 and 5- storey buildings have elevators in Nigeria. That is one train wreck waiting to happen. No sane being would get into any of them. Generators are not the solution to power problems. Nigeria is a basket case.

In advanced countries, there are some probabilities of getting stuck in elevators. But in Nigeria, it is a guarantee. Therein lies the difference.
