"Lagos Highland" indeed. Yes, Lagos island has lots high-rise buildings built mainly by banks and companies for their headquarters as well as some government agencies. However, over 70% of Lagos, especially mainland and including Ikeja, has a mass of bungalows and one storey buildings littering everywhere. I always wonder why a heavily congested city like Lagos, with no land left and suffering housing crises will be filled with bungalows. It just doesn't make sense! Same thing happens in Ibadan, they litter everywhere with dingy bungalows stretching for miles and making the city to look like a massive slum settlement.
Exactly, this is why I honestly don't think these people are fully-evolved human. They must be 30-50% monkey. Lagos is a population of 20 million, and on the mainland you rarely see a building above 2-3 stories. There is no other country on earth where you see something like this. Imagine if Beijing, Manila or New Delhi was as low density as Lagos? It's unthinkable for a city of this size (one of the the biggest on earth).

Most foreigners assume Nigerians don't know how to build multi-story buildings (without foreign contractors) because in most Nigerian cities, that's honestly what it looks like. There is nothing like Onitsha anywhere in Nigeria except marina CMS. It doesn't matter how expensive the land gets, these idiots will continue building their stupid Bungalows with no regard to economic incentives to build higher.

You're right, but Aba also has same outlook with Onitsha in terms of building multi storey buildings. If Nigeria has stable electricity supply, Onitsha and Aba would be having lots of high-rise buildings by now. The main reason why they're limiting it to 4,5 and 6 storeys is because of the tediousness of climbing stairs.


This is deviation.

Stick to the topic nwokem.

It's unbelievable, really. You don't see this kind of behavior anywhere else on earth. Common sense should tell you to build taller to maximize lettable housing space, especially in Lagos.

PROUDIGBO:


Unless they're being built for olympic athletes, building higher than 5 stories isn't practical without installing lifts!

I think a section of the city (like the river front for instance) could be reserved for developers willing to build higher than 5 stories, but on the condition that lifts are installed. A independent power supply could also be provided for the highrise estate to help power the lifts.
You are correct. In fact in many (perhaps most) developed countries, at least one lift is mandatory for buildings with >3 storeys.
I would never live on the 4th floor of a building without one.

Building up costs a lot of money. The average Nigerian struggles to just acquire a piece of land and generally builds whatever they can to release themselves from the cycle of housing problems and rent payments.
It definitely makes sense to build up for many reasons including regulating temperatures by providing shade; however the reality is that many Nigerians cannot afford to build more than a single storey.

Ibadan is an eyesore , to be honest... without casting any aspersions but Yorubas needs to Totally destroy that city and replan and reconstruct it after all they have very good real estate developers same thing Igbos needs to do in ABA, but ABA own is just strictly on public facilities
