Popular UK based Nigerian blogger and GIOTV show host Maureen Badejo has said that the government should look into the cause of the collapsed 21- storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria and proffer solution against future occurrences.
Maureen said:
No matter what I still love my country is just that our orientations has made some countries better than ours.
“We need better reorientation because even if you spend 100 years in another country you are still an immigrant.
“I want those in authority to look into where the mistakes of the collapsed edifice came from and find reasonable solutions to it.”
Maureen played a clip of the interview the late owner of the building granted on August 6, 2021 before his unfortunate death.
Olufemi Adegoke Osibona (Femi Fourscore) is a native of Ikenne, Ogun state.
He is the Managing Director, MD, of Fourscore Homes, a real estate development firm.
He attended Mayflower School in Ikenne before heading for Croydon University in the United Kingdom to study business and finance for his Higher National Diploma, HND.
Femi said:
“I started selling shoes in July, 1991 after I finished my HND in the UK, and later sold suits but I stopped in 1998 and I started real estate development and purchase of property in 1997.
“I also noticed that many Nigerians at that time were reluctant to go into construction but I believed anything was possible with God on my side.
“I built over 50 projects in London and Manchester and from there, went to South Africa where I built a number of estates.
“In all the projects abroad, we buy land and develop and I am the builder, I don’t engage any builder. I was in Atlanta for only four months before I decided to buy land. It is the same procedure in housing development and if you have done it in one country, then you can do it in another because it is the same principle.”
Maureen reacted when Femi said he now understand the system, terrain of Nigeria and he said he’s in charge now. The GIOTV show host said, “This means that Femi can do and undo because he knows those in power and he’s above the law so no one can do him anything.”
Maureen further said:
“Femi, a shoe and suit seller suddenly became a developer and thinks he knows more than the professionals. He killed 44 souls because of his own greediness and stupidity.
“All the rubbish Femi did in Nigeria he can’t do it in any standard countries. Nigerians should also watch out for Dele
Momodu because he is fond of coming out to defend dubious people.
“Femi cut corners and this act killed innocent lives. This is the consequence of our stupidity in Nigeria.”
The UK based blogger also blamed governor of Lagos state for the incident that claimed the lives of 44 people in Lagos.
