I don't understand your position.

What is wrong with bamboo houses as low cost, affordable housing?






Let me just comment my reserve on your comment . And you think that is dignifying enough. Not even economical. How many bamboo do you have in Nigeria

Firstly we do not produce enough bamboo trees for this stuff

Secondly there is actually no prove bamboo house would be cheaper than block houses

Funny thing about APC is they are so myopic in their thinking they failed to understand that

Things are already super cheap in Nigeria
The real issue is Nigerians have become poorer

Instead of focusing on reducing price focus on making Nigerians richer
what has your crying changed?keep crying and wailing. In 2027 we will all see whether Nigeria has improved or not

Better to use mud bricks that are fired in a kiln than use bamboo. We have the right mud all around us. You just need to train the builders on how to use it. It’s the best type of house for our climate. It is used in other African countries too.

There is no indication that this is cheaper than the concrete blocks we use. I think it's even more expensive.

Why is this government so retrogressive like this soon they will start to build caves for Nigerians to live APC get wahala o

But why the obsession with cement houses when they are cheaper alternatives all around us?

The real surprise is why we use so much cement. It's not as if we are a hurricane-prone region or something. We can use lighter materials that are cheaper too.

Are you living in one of those cheaper alternatives?

Why would a hurricane prone region use more cement? The damage during and after the hurricanc3 would be magnitudes more if that was done.

Hamm, bamboo will soon become a scarce material in the bush.

We haven't started using bamboo, fulani maruaders take delight in burning houses at night. When we start living in bamboo houses, the fools will just turn everywhere to ashes.

What's the cost of this compare to cement?

Kemetian:


I'm all for clay building as well (I hate to call it mud wink).

In fact the day we embrace clay architecture is the day housing problems end in this country.

And erosion starts

Bamboo is a better option

Bamboo can be made fire resistant



Outside can be fired Kline, internal can be bamboo

A bamboo house, though modest is still preferable to the shacks a lot of people have in our urban and rural shanties.
Here is one.

Not everything is to be criticized and derided. The same people who mocked agbado can no longer afford to eat eggs and they still can't make the connection.

When you read the article, youll realise it was the same ministry that promised we will be producing pencils by 2018...

Soon they will tell us we will be driving steam powered vehicles soon ....countries are mass producing houses by adopting 3 D print technology and modular houses ...we are going backward and talking about bamboo and mortar.

Build it for your chidren
Batman2412(m): 1:55pm On Jun 13
My problem with FG is "we will..." It's not as if this bamboo house idea makes sense, but "we will...." Meaning them never even build 1 to see as e dey for their eyes

Bestwt001:
This is a really innovative and timely move! Using bamboo for housing is not only eco-friendly but also a smart step towards affordable living for many Nigerians. Big ups to the Ministry and NBRRI for thinking outside the box and promoting climate-smart solutions. Let’s hope the implementation is effective and creates real impact for low and middle-income earners.

Affordable and bamboo in the same sentence just shows how completely ignorant you are.

Just do small research into the cost of bamboo then come back.

We should be instead looking at clay and normal wood cos bamboo is quite expensive.

Nigerians are really entitled. Even dirt poor Nigerians will say Bamboo house is not for them. Isn't it's better to have a roof over your head first?

And truly our houses are probably over engineered. Cement and concrete everywhere.
