Affordable housing is difficult to solve. America has not resolved affordable housing ever. Lots of homelessness. I do think it is possible to resolve affordable housing if there is a strong will. Nigeria has a huge housing deficit
While I support your idea of building high not wide, you should consider the environment and locality, you can't build high towers or houses in a rural area because first the citizens there will be agitated to even go price it, so in the rural area, wide houses can be built, in the future where the place comes up to development, there's is always room for adjustment, it happens in every civilized country, but in the urban areas, high rise buildings are the best, so we should learn to plan for the future and not always the present. Thank you for these views.
A place is only rural if the government refuses to build infrastructure to connect it to the urban centers. It is the duty of govt to provide infrastructure and essential services to ensure connectivity. Countries around the world are doing in using all forms of transport. The USA had the EAS program. Europe had its own version of air essential services and lots of these on road transport and rail transport. For example all over the UK, the govt in conjunction with business service providers have trains and buses that run through certain areas to connect them to major cities. This is what dictates how motorways and roads are built. The new build estates all springing up are being built in remote locations that have access to the big cities through bus and rail connection. The UK can afford to build wide. There is a lot of space in the UK but we can't afford this continuous waste of space in Nigeria with our growing population. This is going to be a crisis in the next 50 yrs if we don't change direction now. Government needs to set the policy that will guide real estate businessmen. Rather than have 1000 real estate business men all we need are 50 that can build according to plan. Especially in providing housing solutions in the form of flats with a well planned housing policy. They can study how countries in Europe do it.
Fix the economy. Handle Fulani terrorism. Build road infrastructure. Once the economy is viable, the private sector would invest in housing. Especially the diaspora.
Why waste land... most people need a place to lay their heads and not a big house... either build up or put the houses together... some areas must have houses together.... to enable people afford houses we must use local materials as much as possible..we need to use other material and not just cement all the time... . best way to get people is give people 15 years to pay... they pay it off as rent.. the government pays the developer the house and then take it monthly from people as rent... if you expect people to take 5 to 10 million naira to buy instant it's jot possible... even in the abroad where we think they have money they give them 25 years to pay....
Nigeria government needs to build more high rise buildings for the populace. The population is too much for bungalows. The save the lands we need more high rias social housings for the less privileged.
The big problem with high rises is water. How will water get to the top floors. Nigeria has no electricity, and fuel for generators is expensive, and scarce.
@@mucholangs This is why the government needs to invest in electricity. The lack of power infrastructure in the country has to do with politics because company like MIKANO owned by a Lebanese is benefiting from generators sales and he’s connected well with Nigerian political leaders. How can a country that produces oil and gas still suffering from electricity since the independence. It’s a shame. A lot of investors are moving to other countries because of that.
@@tayobibi *This is why the government needs to invest in electricity* You're right, the govt needs to invest in a lot of things. But we know the govt won't. So if you're planning anything in Nigeria, you would be foolish to plan based on what the govt needs to do. Rather you plan based on what you know you can accomplish on your own. *company like MIKANO owned by a Lebanese is benefiting from generators* Why is Tinubu not dealing with this corruption? They all promise to fix the problems. But as soon as they take power, things go from bad to worse. Nigeria needs a Thomas Sankara, Ibrahim Traore.
Water is the problem with high rises. You can't have a borehole on top floors. And pumping water is expensive. Most people carry water in buckets to their houses. Imagine lifting water daily to the 15th floor.
The man is just talking rubbish. A contractor just building houses with no city plan and no considerations for the future. All these houses they are building without any recourse to spatial planning are just a waste of space and they do not tie into any logical economic systems. It will take Nigeria's experts another 100 years to come to the realization that we need to START BUILDING HIGH not wide. Just like in Poland, Czech Rep, Germany and France. We are fast running out of space with all the duplexes and bungalows scattered around. In Europe, they are targeting affordable flats/apartments built 10 high with 100-200 units of 2 -4 bedroom configurations which are very reasonably priced. All resources are centralised, bustops, garbage collection, neighbourhood parks etc. That is the urban planning/housing system in Poland, France and Germany. Their citizens then take advantage of the Schengen system to travel to the wealthier countries to work and after 3-5yrs when they are able to save up £15,000 - £20,000 they return to their home countries with new skills to buy these affordable flats and maybe start small businesses. For example when UK left the EU, the amount of Polish a d Czech people that went back to Eastern Europe created a skills deficit in the UK which is why they opened the doors to countries like Nigeria to full up the shortage... Nobody in Nigeria is planning for the wealth and skills that these current Japarians can bring home in the next 5 yrs...Nobody is building the apartments they will live in. Nobody plans for the future in Nigeria which is sad. Nigeria is a country of 250 + million people. We should be Building higher not wider. Flats not duplexes or bungalows as these are just taking up land and space. We should be erecting structures bigger than 1004 estate a d selling these flats for anywhere from N8 -N13 million. Try it and see how fast you will get sold out. Many Nigerians working in the UK are looking for flats they can buy to relocate parents, siblings and children. It MUST NOT ALWAYS BE DUplex or bungalow HOUSES which take up too much space .... We need to really start reasoning for once. With our population we need all the space we can save for farming to feed our huge population. Build high not wide.
You typed this epistle for a moribund idea. Where in Europe do you see government building 15 storeys again? You need to understand the issues that those “civilian Barack” you are advocating for come with. The world has moved off such buildings to terraces and semi detached building where crimes and other nefarious acts/actors can be easily curtailed. Cheers.
@@abiodunfaboye2592 The idea is as moribund as your limited knowledge. I usually say, travel and live in these places to understand and learn the system before you talk rubbish. The US, UK and Canada are countries with lots of space. They can afford to build wide to cover ground. And even when they build wide, they build with systems. UK with their match box houses, US and Canada with their wooden houses. We copy these countries but can't seem to copy intelligently. We should be copying from countries that share similar attributes with us. Like the European countries with limited space for agriculture. That is going to be Nigeria in the next 50 yrs. Even these places you copy from e.g UK US and Canada with their wide houses, when not planned properly end up becoming slums. I will rather a civilian barrack where people of similar economic statuses are centralised with amenities , infrastructure and facilities.
@@abiodunfaboye2592You are going backwards in life. The Uk is having housing crisis to fill the gap for council flats. Most of the buildings the government is building in the Uk nowadays are high rise and some are 20 storeys or more especially in London because there’s no land in London. Nigeria population is skyrocketing yearly, but can they maintain high rise apartment buildings for less privileged with the rates buildings are collapsing in Lagos. I believe such buildings needs to be built with good materials. The government is not helping the less privileged in the country. Tinubu also needs to fix the epileptic electricity in the country which is a shame for a country that called itself giant of Africa.
Which step is first ? Build an Industrial base to provide Jobs and purchasing power or providing Affordable housing ? If you can't provide Jobs to empower your People, can you ever provide Affordable or subsidied housing ?
How many millions jobs have been created in the past ten years that will make it easier for young graduates to afford a mortgage ? You need a good paying steady job to sustain a mortgage, right or wrong ? In what industries, the government of that Drug Dealer is planning to invest ?
Amen. It will be miraculous IJN.

These people are book educated not enlightened.Stop building bungalows,about time you start building high rise,6 or 12 story apartments for a change..
High rises are not conducive for a healthy family environment.
Water is the problem with high rises.
You can't have a borehole on top floors. And pumping water is expensive.
Most people carry water in buckets to their houses. Imagine lifting water daily to the 15th floor.
