Wow!.Adopting that in Nigeria would be hard. Major factor is our weather.

It's not like we can't but it's not the best material for building homes, especially if you cannot maintain it. Also you need lots of lumber (wood) and they have to be highly treated.

It's only in US & Canada that they use wood like that... Other developed countries like the UK and other EU countries use normal bricks, so it's not even advisable.

Our own houses can last longer without maintenance.

Does that mean is quite expensive compared to bricks.
So now my question is this. Can one get such wood of high quality like that here? The thought of it instead of bricks fascinates me..

Alot of car dealers would be happy now in Nigeria, more cheap damaged cars to buy and ship over to Nigeria.

The major difference is treatment. It's not as if our wood is not good enough but they are not treated so we don't have the same quality of finished wood for home construction.

In terms of cost however, it would definitely be more expensive in Nigeria since treated wood is not readily available.

The main problem is their wooden houses. Every little breeze, their houses are falling apart. They loath solid structures. Just woods and nails. And they will charge millioms for those wooden coffins that are vulnerable every hurricane season.

🌀Hurricane Helene left an enormous path of destruction across Florida and the southeastern 🇺🇸 U.S. on Friday, killing at least 45 people, snapping towering oaks like twigs and tearing apart homes as rescue crews launched desperate missions to save people from floodwaters.

With these natural and manade disasters, it's not encouraging at all meen!

Among those killed were three firefighters, a woman and her 1-month-old twins, and an 89-year-old woman whose house was struck by a falling tree. According to an Associated Press tally, the deaths occurred in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The Category 4 hurricane knocked out power to some hospitals in southern Georgia, and Gov. Brian Kemp said authorities had to use chainsaws to clear debris and open up roads. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) when it made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region in Florida’s rural Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where the state’s panhandle and peninsula meet.

Moody’s Analytics said it expects $15 billion to $26 billion in property damage.

The wreckage extended hundreds of miles northward to northeast Tennessee, where a “ dangerous rescue situation ” by helicopter unfolded after 54 people were moved to the roof of the Unicoi County Hospital as water rapidly flooded the facility. Everyone was rescued and no one was left at the hospital as of late Friday afternoon, Ballad Health said.


In North Carolina, a lake featured in the movie “Dirty Dancing” overtopped a dam and surrounding neighborhoods were evacuated, although there were no immediate concerns it would fail. People also were evacuated from Newport, Tennessee, a city of about 7,000 people, amid concerns about a dam near there, although officials later said the structure had not failed.


















Which state come even safe to live for America now sef?

It's terrible out here in my city. It wrecked a lot of havoc and fatality. Power outage and so many trees fell on the major roads and building which resulted in death in the street next to us. We're expecting bad weather this week again. Pray for us in South Carolina.

Go and sit down with that your irritating mentality. Read your post, and all that kept going through my mind was, how do your wife and friends manage to tolerate you on a daily. Why the endless insult? What did i say that was so upsetting to you? We are going to argue and insult ourselves over "which is stronger; wooden houses or houses built with blocks and cements"?? You dont even know what you're saying and you're so busy hurling insults right left and center. Basically sounding lie a charlatan.

Every hurricane or typhoon that hits America, basically brings down all the houses in their paths. And i said that if the houses were a bit stronger, like the ones built with blocks, cement and concretes, we might be talking of just the roofs of most houses being blown away, and not the whole houses destroyed. That was it, and you started to rain insults on me. How is my education useless? Who is sounding like the dunce here? Pray, did i tell you that i read architecture, town planning, civil engineering or any course related to construction in school? Do you know me or do you know my occupation?

Lets say i was wrong, how does that make my education useless? Why do you expect me to be ab expert on American affairs, and know why Americans do what they do with their houses? Whats my business there?? Am i an American? Do the socalled Americans know what i do with my house over here? Very useless human being with a very offensive/annoying character like you.
You reason like a very fat rat!

We still have bad leaders, evil minded individuals, and all sort of internal wars going on.
I always say God knows what he was doing when he choose not to include natural disasters in africa, because we can't handle it.
If stuff like this happens here in nigeria a whole village or villages will go down, because even after some die on the spot, the trapped ones that didn't get rescued on time might eventually die, then those who survived it and need urgent medical help will be disappointed, those that need aids and palative will be embarrassed and heartbroken because the so called politicians will use such means to play political games, and take what is meant for the people.
