A video showcasing densely populated residential buildings in Lagos Island has sparked a reaction online, highlighting some harmful building practices.
The viral clip revealed the congested and cramped living conditions on the island, exposing structural buildings built adjacent to one another, resulting in inadequate ventilation.
The person who made the video wondered how the residents live comfortably because there isn’t much open space between the homes on Lagos Island.
The video has triggered a flurry of reactions with netizens suggesting the collapse of buildings in Lagos Island was due to substandard building construction.
Internet users asserted that residential properties might provide a family with cash, but would never propose reconstruction or safety.
