The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Friday confirmed that four persons died while one was rescued in the building collapse at Oye Sonuga Street, Palm Avenue, in Mushin, Lagos.

The NEMA South West Zonal Coordinator, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview.

He said two males and two females died, while one person was rescued in the building collapse.

Earlier, the Lagos State Government also said it would investigate the cause of the building collapse.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr Omotayo Bamgbose-Martins, while visiting the site of the three storey building, directed that the building be pulled down immediately for safety reasons and to forestall further collapse.

He also ordered the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the Lagos State Materials Testing Laboratory to unravel the cause of the collapse.

They say Tinubu built lagos.
Guguwar obi joor.

Nawa oo
What’s with all these sad news
Lagos State material testing lab that can be bought to approve any material no matter how unfit or unsafe as long as you grease the right palm

Na waa o. Make Lagos no come collapse like this o.

Another one again


BTW what are the findings from the Osborne tower collapse? Maybe the matter has been swept under the carpet as usual.... Until another one happens then we will wake up and start ordering investigations, still nothing will be done. And we wonder why things don't change.

Damnnn niggar
Lagos and building collapse

Earthpen:
Lagos state should look inward for the causes of these building collapses since the last 10 years

Lagos is sinking son...
Whenever there is flood...If you should taste that flood water now you will see it is a little bit salty and the only way flood water can be a little bit salty means it is a subsoil from below..

It means the whole of lagos soon gonna be submerged and everything goes under. Lagos is gonna sink sooner than we thought

But we all know nobody gonna taste flood water in lagos if at all lagosian taste bud is still working because lagos is a gadamnnn overrated slum full of dirty and shit

Everything about this damn country don tire me

Not again

This is getting too frequent

Needless deaths

it seems storey building is the latest killer in Lagos...

Wu dey giv all diz people approval sef....

nah ignorance cause all these one so

For everyone accrediting everything in Lagos to Tinubu, so the thief cannot used good materials to build structures in Lagos, he uses expired substandard materials so to kill people anyhow. Is this how he wants to develop Nigeria with usêlèss substandard materials? So much for the incoming president of Iragbiji.

Na who dey alive go die.

Cheap house, cheap death.

RIP to the dead.

Second news of collapsed building in Lagos today.

No mystery, some parts of Lagos are drowning slowly. The soil formation is changing and is not conducive for weakly built structures.

Again and again and again.
Building collapse, traffic jam, floods, overpopulation and stress are the Hallmarks of Lagos.

If only Abuja was structured to be a commercial city, millions of people would have moved to Abuja.

Unfortunately, Abuja originally, was structured to be an administrative city.
Reason why the city is so unproductive and commercially useless.

Lagos for the hustle, Abuja for the chilling.

RIP to the dead

Awful and disheartening weekend news...


God save is from End of the year Calamities.

If we cannot trust Nigerian contractors for the building projects they execute across the country then our government is justified for not awarding contracts to our home bred professionals.


Economic hardship, relaxation of professionalism and bad government are the leading causes of building collapse in Nigeria.

When an expert specifies 16mm steel rod for instance, for casting column, an average Nigerian will use 10mm rod for it just to cut costs. Where the soil requires piling they will use ordinary foundation to avoid costs.

What about the steel companies producing substandard building materials; are they being monitored? Nigerian government are woeful when it comes to monitoring.

Most of the taskforce dispatched for this purpose only go there to take bribe and leave their job undone. For this reason many factories that should be closed down are operating everyday.

Economic hardship has made clients not to hire professionals. They would rather employ local quack developers for their projects in order to reduce costs. In the end it collapses claiming innocent lives.

Why can't we force people to employ the service of architects and structural engineers especially when complex projects are involved? What's Nigerian Institute of Architecture doing there.

We die everyday in Nigeria for avoidable negligence and this is a sad reflection of the status of this country.

Rest in piece to the dead; you're victims of negligence and recklessness.

South West again?
You will hardly see this in our north.

Southerners are very cunny pple and like to play illegalities

Why always Lag

The cost of housing in Lagos is making people to put just anywhere even when they know the apartment is not 100% ok. Just to have a roof over their head.

So sad.

Sad.

Too many building collapse in Lagos

Not again

Na bamboo them dey take build house for Lagos?

..na wah o
