In the first full episode of Steeped in Real Estate, Winifred Ogiugo and Valentine Uzor sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about the Nigerian property market — the good, the gaps, and the conversations buyers need before they invest.

They unpack agent responsibility, buyer education, due diligence, developer accountability, land-title risk, Lagos flooding, construction standards, property insurance, buyer protection and the loosely used idea of a “direct mandate.”

Winifred also shares a personal lesson from her early years in Canada that changed how she understood homeownership and leverage. The hosts compare aspects of the Canadian and Nigerian real estate systems, discuss the rising expectations of diaspora buyers, and explore how property connects to tourism, business, schools and the wider urban economy.

If you want to understand Nigerian real estate beyond the sales pitch, pull up a chair.

Real estate in Nigeria is bigger than buying and selling property. 🏙️🇳🇬

It sits at the intersection of diaspora remittances, rapid urbanization, investment, jobs and the wider service economy — which is why understanding the sector means looking far beyond the price of land.

In this conversation, we unpack why Nigerian real estate continues to attract so much capital and the role it plays in the country’s broader economic story.

But here’s the real question:

Are we building a real estate market that creates lasting value — or simply chasing the next development?
