The blame can go round.

A warning to those using and depending on 'QUACKS'. Many get deceived with presentation and packaging and ignore the most essential aspect of the building! STRUCTURES. You can get away with using quacks with bungalows BUT once you get to multistorey building, an understanding of geotechnics and structures are important.

The sad part is very few structural analysis or calculation is done in the design. People only copy what was done in one building and replicate somewhere else.

Hopefully, this is a wake up call to builders and clients alike. Once you go to multistorey building, get a competent person to handle your structures. Ask for the structural calculations. Ensure that the guy actually do the structural design and not just copy.

For the clients, if you are not buoyant enough, stay with a bungalow. Dont try to cut corners with a multistorey building!

Hopefully, we will start to go beyond the 'packaging' and insist on PROFESSIONAL work.

lekki gardens structure collapse, it is quite unfortunate. May the soul of the victims rest in peace and God will grant their family and loved ones fortitude to bear the loss.

A wake up call to everyone. Some packagers are blabbing all manners of building terms they are not even practicing themselves all over social media, so happy about unfortunate incident that claims life and can as well rendered so many people jobless eventually. The jobless one can turn to kidnapper tomorrow and kidnap you for ransome in order to survive.

Yes it very right to say the truth, not only Lekki Gardens are doing such a shuddy job, they are the thief caught today. Prime waters was raining some times ago, but when they had their own cup of tea at Panti area of Lagos, multistorey whort a billion colapse without casualties they learn their lesson. Mike Adenuga GLO house also has it's own share of collapse during construction at Challenge in ibadan, almost on a rocky land, is that a lekki or Ajah Land?. Synagogue structure that collapse was it built on Lekki- Ajah land.

In a situation like this our presentation matters a lot. Before you remove a spec in someone eye please remove the log in your own eyes.

Natural disaster, can only be tamed by God and No technology per say. May God always keep us save. Amen

I read the BRABUS comments and i just shook my head, what a coincidence.

The same BRABUS that

* Steals my cement so that he can tell me that cement finished hence why the mix wasnt correct.
* Steals my iron rods so as to give me the excuse that, its the reason why the structure didnt hold well.
* Puts cement bags inside concrete mix to make it stronger.


I mean, if anyone wants to take lessons from a builder, the last person speaking should be brabus. His ideas when it comes to this subject, is best left to the bins.

Death toll in Lagos building collapse rises to 10

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has said that the death toll in the collapsed five-storey building in Lekki, Lagos, has risen to 10. LASEMA’s General Manager, Michael Akindele, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that as of 3. 30 p.m. on Tuesday, 10 other people had been rescued. Mr. Akindele said the building at Chisco bus Stop, opposite Oando filling station, Lekki, which was under construction, collapsed during an early morning downpour.

He said the victims were workers with the building’s construction firm handling, who slept in it overnight.

The LASEMA chief said the agency got a distress call at about 4.47 a.m. and promptly mobilised for rescue operations. “Our men are still on the ground as search and rescue operation is still ongoing. “The Lagos State Fire Service , the Lagos State Police Command, Lagos State Ambulance Service, the Rapid Response Squad, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, and the Civil Defence Corps are on ground to ensure people are rescued and given proper medical attention,” Mr. Akindele said.

Meanwhile, the Lekki Gardens, owners of the collapsed building, in a statement, said the building was meant to house a number of apartments. It said that work on the collapsed building had been suspended since January 2016, due to reported structural defects.
“As regards the said building, a contractor was hired for the completion of the project, and was supposed to be completed in June 2017.
“However, after preliminary structural assessments, we discovered that the building had some structural defects and immediately halted construction work on the said building,” the statement said.

It said it also revoked all construction jobs assigned to the company for not implementing standard safety and structural procedures on-site.
The statement added that further steps were initiated to reassess all construction tasks assigned to the company.

(NAN)

Can this really be true?. If the statement says this, how come a woman and her baby died in the collapsed building?.
