Your disagreement does not obviate the fact that we've been experiencing an average of a collapsed building every month since Fashola resumed office. The result of eight years of FAILED Physical Planning policy by his godfather, and four years of total cluelessness on the subject from he himself.

EPIC FAIL on Physical Planning for Fashola!

So unfortunate.

meee!:

Are you this heartless? This is a thread about untimely death, but you posted a jamboree pic?

May the souls of the dead rest in peace. When are we ever going to have codes and standards in Nigeria? This manner of living in chaos like animals is not the best.

Were they living in the building, playing there or working on it?

There is something about that house that bothers on mystic.  

(1) The occupants of the former building on the site were forcefully ejected and their properties thrown out

(2) It is the second time that an uncompleted building would be collapsing on the same spot and the area is not waterlogged

(2) The ownership tussle over the land has been in court for over three years and when one of the parties won, he sold it to a new owner that erected the present collapsed building on the foundation laid before the tussle started


Wanna post pictures but don't know how.  Can any one lecture me on this?

Nigeria is collapsing obviously,this has been a common problem in Lagos,the kind of houses I see there dey fear me I swear,I saw in logos a house that was being added another story after about over 30 years of existence,why won't such a house collapse?

Imagine no ambulance,so they expect every trapped person to die there,what a hopeless country.

May the souls of the departed RIP and may GOD grant their families the fortitude to bear the loss.

There was an ambulance actually that was shuttling between the site and the hospital once a body was excavated.

Wow! What's up with all these collapsing buildings in Lagos? May their souls rest in peace oh!

I will agree with you for the first time. The heartless buffoon that put up that picture is clearly deficient in the sensitivity department.

How is a the collapse of a building (presumably owned by some private individual) Fashola's fault?

Is your argument that he isn't spending enough money on inspectors? Or that there is something wrong with existing regulation (latter would not be his fault btw, would be that of the legislature.)

Trust the Fashola azz suckers to try to plausibly explain building collapses with the ALARMING FREQUENCY we've been seeing in Lagos State for the last few years away glibly!

I can't believe you have the effrontery to spew that trash up there. Fashola was Bola Tinubu's Personal Lawyer before and after he became Governor in 1999. He was brought in to government as the replacement for Lie Mohammed as Chief-of-Staff, and as it transpired, de-facto deputy governor.

He then went on to become governor for 4 years, and claimed during his first campaign that HE was the architect of a lot of the last minute Tinubu initiatives, like BRT and others. He is now on his second term. He has been in the corridors of power for 12 years now, and you want to excuse him for the mess that is Lagos, Physical Planning wise (forget the flowers and the bright lights, they're just clever make-up and a conduit pipe for stealing money). Just as he takes credit for private projects like the new Shoprite building in Ikeja, which he probably owns, true to the tradition established by his godfather, he must also take the blame for the mishaps that happen while he's on that seat. At any rate, he's ultimately responsible for the fiasco that Physical Planning has become in Lagos State, with people waiting on TINUBU, yes, TINUBU, for permission to build in places like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Banana Island, Osborne and Park View for up to more than 6 years, in some cases.

It's all about money for him and Thief-nubu, not really about the planning merits or demerits of the project. That's how Tinubu swiped 50% of the Oriental Hotel project, I hear. The Palms refused to play ball, that's why they were blocked off Lekki-Epe expressway!

This is very sad. We don't have standards and inspectors to make sure the standards are kept in Nigeria. People just erect anything anyhow. The cement they even use these has more sand than real cement, let it rain a couple of time the walls will start cracking. People losing their lives because of stupid things.

I don't understand how a politician is responsible for some private individual's shoddy construction.

If a car breaks down in Lagos, is Fashola also responsible for that?

If you believe that the relevant authorities who hand out construction permits, handle inspections, etc have grown lax, corrupt and need to be sacked, then certainly it isn't unreasonable to say that Fashola should do something about that.

But to directly blame him for a building collapse, w/o first inking it to the authorities, and then linking Fashola to those authorities? That is senseless.
