The church should have done something significant before now. May we not have another building collapse in Lagos again especially a church

It can only happen in Nigeria. I belief the building committee didn't not stick to the approved budget meant for this building. Haba Catholic church ke. Na Catholic church get the best building design of church across Nigeria (my opinion).

peter obi and oby ezekwesili will condemn it , Mr reactor will soon react.

The fact that you're the most smartest person in your family is a terror already.

why were they waiting for government to pull it down when they can clearly see it has obvious defects?

The church management or building committee should be proactive to fix the structure or rebuild or major renovation.

If it's overall interest of d safety of the worshipper..I agree with the government on this.. but on the other hand, government should make an alternative arrangements to accommodate the church members while plans are ongoing to rebuild the church still by the government..
Failure to do that may attract negative feedback from all works of life..

Church committee don chop money

If dem say make dem pay tithe and offering, some persons will start calling pastors names. Sha pastor wa no get work than to preach the gospel go fit pay for church maintenance. Tho some pastors are using church to cash in but still, money will still be needed to maintain the church and use for missionary work and so on.

Money for iron alone is more than 100M.

That thing is not less than half a billion. The foundation alone should be about 150M. It's built on a swamp.

Ha

Many times while standing inside the compound of Solution guest house many, many years ago, I've always pointed out the fact that the building is distressed....One wonders why it took the LASG so long to go into action..........thank God it did not give way before this much needed intervention

The problem is that theres no money, so donations go hard to rebuild am. From parish back to outstation

That structure was build on swampy land

Demolition in Lagos state? Peter OBI and oby ezekwesili will soon condemn Lagos state government for this wonderful action

Guy, if you have nothing reasonable to contribute, just sit down and read useful comments.

Na there I do cross over two years back o... But to be frank, many buildings for that Gbagada suppose reach ground o... Gbagada na so do undulating topography, that some buildings even have just pillars as the ground floor, then the building starts from the "decking"

Prevention is better than cure..... If na me the church cha, I must sue the contractor oooo

churches dont use contractors. They rely on pro bono services from church members that are "engineers".

I have written about this before here on nairaland. There is one they are building in mz area. The chairman of the committe is a civil engineer who contracted his personal house building project to another engineer. His deputy is an agric engineering lecturer. The church like free things and rely on church members to execute projects.

In rural areas, the parish priest also combines his pastoral work with "engineering"

Choi 😳😳🙄,so this beautiful and gigantic building is going down?

I think the engineer that managed/supervised this building must be sanctioned by the govt and church authority

Please bring the building down before it comes down on people's head during mass... Prevention is better than cure. I am a Catholic anyway but have to say the truth.

Yes. You made a point chief, but have ever try to ask how the JW are doing it? They don't pay tithe,yet they are one of the most wealthy organization in the world.

Am still trying to run a research on how they do this effortlessly.

I doubt if indeed Cappa D Alberto handled the construction sir, maybe na Cappa on the paper while it's baba Azeez and papa Alphonsus and Ekeminini on the site 😂.

StOla:
Obviously needed.




I believe this Gbagada church was one of the outstations of Saint Agnes Catholic Church in Maryland, before it became a full parish itself.

If it is, that church was likely built by Cappa and D'alberto, who built the Maryland parish too.

Cappa and D'alberto no be moi moi construction firm.

Yes, but some bittered losers will still see it as political or witch-hunt.

Keep reading their comments they will be here soon.

Demolish or reinforce,no tamper with God property or the consequent woes will finish yu.

Stop spreading lies just to earn cheap likes.
Do you how much Cappa charge?

Catholic Church of Divine Mercy Lekki, that has plenty money didn't use Cappa.

Right now in VI in Lagos and Abuja, there are building projects of like 8 or 9 floors of building apartments. Selling for like 300M per flat in Lagos and like 80M in Abuja. Work is still at foundation level but everything is sold out.
