Una go ban tire...anything against APC - Ban. This is an APC news letter, just Sahara...Ban this one...huuu

Anguldi:
Madonna University Students, Father Ede type of structure . That man won't go to heaven

Haba na where did Fr Ede construct this kind of thing

MMempire:
Upper stairs for humans, while lower stairs is for rodents.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Clearly a construction mistake
The first was done but didn't meet the required head room so a new one had to be constructed.

He might have used baba mulika and sons the first time too.

Just like the advice I gave someone few minutes ago.

After spending money for land, documentation and approvals. Spend for materials. Why can't you pay a qualified engr to over see your project?

Now they can not follow Arch Drawings. Making all sort of blunders left, right n center.

Actualization of the project shouldn't be co.promised

Immatex:

This picture can’t tell the complete story.

But this is does not look like a mistake.

I would assume this is an old structure undergoing a makeover and the contractor believes knocking down the existing stairs will weaken the the structural integrity of the building and so prefers this design that looks like attempt to retain structural stability.

It’s also possible that the under stairs will get knocked down later.

So this photograph can’t make for an informed opinion.

Ha.
And you feel the structure is safer with twice the load of the staircase on the foundations in that area. Do you know how heavy concrete is and how heavy and essentric staircases are.

Simpu " na politicians house with excess money". Ever seen a double stair case b4??

It probably is a remodeling.

Incase of incasity

For your village king?

First and second tenure

What I see is the load on the old stairs pillar and it’s still a simply ed structure.

I am not saying it’s the safest way to do things. I think the building code for Nigeria should be a better guide to determine if this is compliant or not.
I suppose it’s an improvisation and an attempt to maintain at the least the existing structural integrity of the building as knocking down the old stairs might weaken the structure and make it collapse risk.

From the picture,it is obvious the they pushed the building a bit higher,hence the need for the new stairs

Lol 😂😂😂😂

Both stairs are newly constructed

MMempire:

For his Ancestors 🤣

Igbo engineer handwork

The lower staircase appears to have been done below the standard, and the upper one had to be done to meet the quality standard for safety and durability

AirBere:


Lol 😂😂😂😂

Na you post the picture?

Well said Mr. Engineer
What you said is what it is

The fist layer is for the living whilst the second is for afterlife😂

Immatex:


Na you post the picture?

I think if you observe closely, you can tell that both stairs were made in/around around the same time but obviously one was made before the other. So for me, the one under was made before then may be a better engineer was employed, did some testing and saw that the one below isn't strong enough and then casted the new one above with the hope to take down the one below after further testing.

Looking at the pics alone, I think both stairs are not too far apart to be labeled "old" and "new". That's my point lol

We both said the same thing really.

Both were not built the same time and a former might likely give way if doing so won’t weaken the structure’s load distribution.

But like I maintained, a better, fully picture would have helped reached a better hypothesis.

This picture is incomplete so we can only guess at best.

Fair enough bro...

Agbegbaorogboye:

You copied something from yabaleft and you're asking us to explain it
Do we look mad to you?

Your name explains it all.

You too much bro

This is pure waste of resources!

Village People age way

Nice, but I smell AI?

What are you implying Do you think intelligent people no longer exist? And for your information, AI is not always correct. It takes a person who is intelligent to use AI intelligently. So don't think that people you make use of AI, rely on it completely. AI is only a study assistant.

Sure, intelligent people have always existed, also one doesn't need to be unintelligent to use AI.

I only made my observation based on the structure of his writeup, it looked very structured and formal.

psychologist:
Misinterpretation of sectional drawing

Probably, the Structural Engineer was paid small money.
His head was banging, worrying about Nigeria and other Nigerian problems.
And he didn't take time to cross check his drawing before sending out.
-
Typically, the Engineers expect 2 payments.
1. Payment for drawing
2. Payment for supervision.
-
The client is a miser and thinks he is smart.
He will only pay for the drawings and expect the builder/bricklayers to
understand everything.
He won't pay the Engineer for supervision.
So Engineer will not supervise/visit the site and hence.
error like this happen.
Engineer will just say "Ntor" to the client and run away to think about other Nigerian problems.
Waste of money!!!

Growingboi:
As a structural engineer myself, two thing could lead to this.

It's either the engineer studied online, or he took colos/igbo/shisha combination before embarking on the project

LMAO!
