There's nothing like juju? Are you talking generally or with the situation concerning dog sleeping?
I am talking generally.....because anything that happened unconsciously we attribute to undisputed supernatural forces.

That's the problem with our mentality anyway..... Religion (devotion) vs Science (evolution) hence we are easily being controlled and cheated on, I have always believe if you want go forward go with Darwin literally and if you want go backward go with the gods.

I usually lock my windows (it was sliding windows) before sleeping. There's no air coming in.

To get accurate blocks and amount needed you will need to provide architectural plan not picture.

Good morning Baba. Scaffold/props/formwork/shutters gave way because there was a major error in the design and construction...

We need more contribution from structural engineers and professional builders to understand the cause and how to prevent such in our builds.

Homeowners/investors also need to pay good attention to various contributions as most builds don’t fail because substandard materials were used but design error.

Good morning.

For the main building, based on your attached architectural drawings, an approximate estimate of 1647 blocks will be required for blockwork up to the oversite concrete while an estimate of 765 blocks will be need for the BQ at the back.

For cost if labour for block setting, the main building is roughly 115,000 while the BQ is roughly 53,000.

We don’t know what caused the collapse yet.

It’s exactly two weeks after the Odo, Lagos Island Building Collapse and we are yet to see any report.

The same way we don’t know what happened at Lekki Toll Gate despite having over 10 CCTV cameras.

We continue to wait.

While we wait for experts, here are the possible cause of the failure:

- Beam Connection
- Inadequate support underneath the slab
- Concentrating the poker vibrator for too long in a particular section.
- Bad Formwork/Carpentary Work

That’s all I can think of right now. I believe there could be other reasons.

There’s indeed drama in regards to setbacks along the railroad. They originally says 500 feet, now 200. I’m impacted as are many others. I’m moving ahead with my micro estate but in particular with the nearby station. According to my land seller the worst they can do is leasehold.

As far as a for sure investment, get a group of investors together and buy a few acres at Akinyele, the land port area and setup a distribution center. You can get a train spur line and have container trains come in directly with onsite custom clearing.

I’ll do this but I’m trying to live a retiree life with less hassles.
