  1. I really enjoyed the interview but the title is misleading. I clicked cause I wanted to see an interview about affordable housing. I was confused and watched til the end. I stayed cause the interview was good on it's own merit. it would help to be more mindful to put the correct title next time

  2. Mr Agboola really did a great job by establishing and making is country grow. Despite the fact that he has the opportunity of living in the foreign country he still did something great and meaningful to his country,not like our leaders going there to lavish our money without any positive changes in the country.

  3. The place that the Naira is right now, it is good to invest, in 5 years time the Naira will be stronger. Hopefully it will appreciate by at least 30%, without considering gas export.

  4. 33 And today, you cannot be saved outside the Message of Prophet Kacou Philippe. Why? Because the Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did for the past generations, He will always do it. It is by a living prophet in your time that you must believe to be saved and it is the test of your time. You must overcome the churches and the seducers of your time and accept the only and unique prophet that mankind is fighting against to have eternal Life. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

  5. Nigeria is not Africa. If he's not building houses in Liberia, Senegal, Congo, South Africa or Ethiopia than he's not building houses for Africans. He's building houses for Nigerians. Africa is not a monolith, it's not a country and one country in it doesn't represent the entire continent. Stop calling it as such….

  6. This can make somebody cry. If the situation in Nigeria were to be good and safe for living, I am sure many Nigerians would come back home to Nigeria to start something. Nigeria is really an investor's haven but for the unconquerable insecurity situation in Nigeria. It's just awful in Nigeria. All those Igbo UGM who are into killing and shooting people in the south east must stop and begin to employ their inherited talents to do something like this man and other successful Nigerians.

  7. Все хорошо всё отлично
    Но нам бы хотелось увидеть бизнес производства, завод продукты, цех предприятия , производства товаров на начальном и итоговой этапа, новых микро макро экономика стартапы

  8. Greetings Tayo Alina, great interview, it awesome that Nigerian are returning home to build in Nigeria. This is another success story in Nigeria, there thousands Nigerians that need assisted as the population there is huge. Its no accident that Africa is behind the majority of the plant in all areas. May you reach 500k soon. Thanks for sharing….
