For years, many Nigerians in the diaspora have dreamt of owning a home back home, a tangible piece of their heritage that reflects their hard work and identity especially in the country’s commercial capital, Lagos state. Yet, too often, those dreams were met with disappointment: unfulfilled promises, unverified developers, and projects that never came to life.
