Na so @ Egunmogaji, This una thread is just for idle gossip, backlashing, If we put much time and energy to building ourselves more than we do trying to slash an image or bring someone down, The world will be a better place.

Really don't know this Lekki Gardens company but you have done enough advert for the young man,I looked at some of their works-they seem to have done much and grown so fast.
If he could do this much at his age -have a vision and work through it. I am seriously inspired ,I pray he gets through this and become better.
A pity people lost their lives, May their souls rest in peace.
He needs to work hard and get it right, will recommend him to my friends.
we need to encourage our people to do better.
You guys should draw up inspiration and change our country.

Following the collapse of a five-storey building under construction on Kushenla Road, Ikate Elegushi, Lekki on Tuesday, the Police on Thursday said Richard Nyong, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lekki Gardens, the construction company behind the collapsed building, has been detained at Panti Police Station.

Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Mrs. Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed Nyong’s arrest, said he will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.

On Wednesday, Governor Ambode had ordered all Directors of Lekki Worldwide Estate Limited to submit themselves to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, within the next twenty four hours or face immediate arrest.

Nyong complied with the directive and reported himself to the office of the Commissioner of Police in company of his lawyer, Mr. Wole Olanipekun (SAN) and was detained after interrogation.

It would be recalled that the Lagos State Government in the wake of the building collapse, revealed that preliminary reports and investigation, it was discovered that the collapsed building was served contravention notice for exceeding the approved floors and thereafter sealed by the Lagos State Building Control Agency.

The government also discovered that in a brazen act of defiance and impunity, the owners of the building, Messrs Lekki Worldwide Estate Limited, the promoters of Lekki Gardens, criminally unsealed the property and continued building beyond the approved floors until the unfortunate incident of Tuesday which has led to the death of over 30 persons.

Governor Ambode who is said to be irked at the spate of building collapse in the state had vowed to wield the big stick so as to put a stop to the disturbing trend.

Finally, the chicken has come home to roost

Now, Excuzeme Egunmogaji and Baba Crisisng
I hope you've seen the reasons why you should learn your building codes and calculations by heart.

Meanwhile, I just learnt that construction cost is detemined by the amount you paid for the land.

skimanski:



What Lagos State Govt do is Collect Money, do an Integrity test, if they find Defects, they come and Mark the Building and Thats it. They never come back to see the Progress. I have seen a lot of case where the Contractors Plaster the Red Marks and thats it. Why can't they keep records and follow Through on the Marked Buildings to ensure work doesn't continue until defects are corrected?

Excuzeme:


Skimanski,

The above is not true at all.
Infact, they take photograph of where the work was, when they come to mark it so they can know if you have been working on it 'at night", in their absence!

what actually happens is that "Man knows Man" sets in and order from above (or due to incentive), ties their hands at times.
In some cases, they just want to see your Building Approval/Documents but instead of asking 'politely', they embarrass you by marking it first, drop their Paper...and you have to come to their office to "see me".




BTW: I remember reading a thread about Lekki Gardens and how soem tenants where causing this same Nyong and saying he will meet KARMA in the future!
I hope that not what is playing otu now?
My guy is in detention because of this Gbege!

This is a picture from the impressive build by Bitswork. I want to get a consensus that this is how it's done.

Basically I'm being told by my Carpenter that the lintel that goes over the balcony is always a coach higher than the doors and windows as shown on Bitswork build.

Is this standard?

PS: Okay I see the same on Spyder880 thread so I think it's normal normal

brabus:


Who are you sef? Must you make sense all the time. You also top with up with mathematical calculations. You are the only engineer who proves his worth here unlike me. I expect those engineering jargon and mathematical calculations to be thrown in at all times by seasoned engineers and you never failed to disappoint me.

God bless you real good.

Forget those titles. If you want, I fit dash you for free.

This problem in LG is a society problem. Firstly, Who pays for a house that he/she has not seen? The so called OFF Plan concept is Freud. Anytime i see those two words on any development or the so called Service Plot or House, i run.

Most Nigerians do not understand what a Service whatever is or mean. IT Simply a Rented Land from the developer. You build a house on someone else land. They will continue to charge your forever for renting their land. It called a CONDOMINIUM in the USA.

I laughed when the Tenant was suing LG for charging them for service land they bought. They signed for it without understanding what they were buying. Typical of us Nigerian. Wanting to feel among without know what we want to join. But Nigeria being what it is, LG lost in court to their Tenant while they should have won easily if it was US.

Anyways, LG was greedy. They need to sell outright and let the home owners develop their management services through HOA( Home Owner Association). The good thing about HOA is that it provides the community a standard and its the home owners that come together to implement policies that work for them, not the developer.

My advice for now, When you hear SERVICE PLOT OR HOUSE, I beg run for your life. Na Naija we dey ooo

Oga Excuzeme,

No Comment. You and I knew what I was trying to say there.

No happy hour today so there's no bottle to break.

I'm not just in the mood.

The current administration palava is mind-boggling. No light, no fuel, no water, no money, queue everywhere, bad news every minute... Time to reflect on things that matters. How this is going to affect the economy and investments?

Most of the subscribers are people that I referred to as "wise fools" - a book smart person who is street st.upid.

They are aware of the possible implications of their actions yet still act contrary to their belief.

The video that I linked from YouTube earlier ( which was published September 2015 per YouTube and never stated as an eye witness account to the 2016 disaster ) says it all. Just not sure why anyone would want to live like that. Looks like a county project.

But hey it's bound to have stupendous sea breeze though

At least you people see it from where im coming from. I do not blame these subcribers for killing the over 30 people in the building. I just dont understand why the patronize firms with offers that are too good to be true. Naija People with Awoof!!

The Idea of Affordable housing is fantastic. Its something My team and I are working so hard to bring to the Populace. but not at he risk of the people that eventually subscribe for it. Because this is not a case of Lekki Garden working for the Middle Class people. Its a case of lekki Gardens Using the Middle Class Citizens to Archieve their Selfish Goals.

I am very sure that in the Future most of the Houses will be empty because the Value would have droped so badly, and owners will want to sell off but no buyer and renting will be like nothing to write home about.

EgunMogaji:


Skimanski, are you talking about the value now or what the value is going to be after this clusterdiddling?

Granted I do not know enough about the values but I just don't see the value of the asking price? They are really not cheap housing.

skimanski:


I'm talking about what the value will be in a near future. Not now.

Even now I know some guyz that have finished their houses and want to resell as well as some that haven't finished. But they claim the offers they receive do not work for them at all. According to a seller. He might just have to sell for any little added offer and count his losses.
