The Nigerian real estate industry is heading toward a major correction if current trends continue. Property prices have become unrealistic, and sometimes I genuinely wonder who is buying some of these houses.
In cities like Abuja and Lagos, there are countless completed buildings sitting vacant, yet prices remain beyond the reach of many genuine buyers and tenants. It raises an important question: What is the value of building houses that people cannot afford to buy or rent?
This is one reason serviced apartments have grown rapidly. However, if the underlying issues remain unresolved, even that segment could eventually face similar challenges.
Nigeria's real estate sector also needs stronger regulation, greater transparency, and better market data. Without these, speculative pricing and the use of property to store questionable wealth can continue to distort the market.
There are also growing concerns that proceeds from cybercrime and other illicit funds have contributed to inflated property prices in some areas. If true, this should concern everyone, because it makes homeownership even more difficult for ordinary Nigerians.
A healthy real estate market should be driven by affordability, productivity, transparency, and real demand—not speculation.

Africa doesn't have a poverty problem. It has an ecosystem problem. We've built talented people without building the systems that help them work together.
Agree or disagree?
Africa doesn't lack talent or resources—it lacks connected ecosystems. The next generation of African leaders won't build isolated products; they'll build infrastructure that connects people, capital, healthcare, commerce, identity, and opportunity. That's the future I'm building.
