electric shock too.

Earthing of all electrical wiring will minimise electric shock..... Even ships are made of steel and all wirings are earthed..

What you should be afraid of is corrosion... Cos the cargo container should be painted with marine coating paint or a sacrificial anode should be attached to fight corrosion

For the heat factor... the container house will be heavily insulated to absorb heat.. also you can install extractor in every rooms, and it is best to install Solar power system to enjoy this container house

That's the true definition of Nigeria's innovation and creativity

No!!! It is not unique to Nigeria. They are used in most developed countries and even India. This is.what is use as temporary accommodation for homeless people in some western cities.


For those complaining about heat/cold, these houses can be insulated using glass fibers, wool or other lagging materials.

This might just be one way of building affordable houses for people. For entrepreneurs with money and this company using cargo containers to construct low cost houses might just be the next money spinning venture

Sorry, but you've got no point.

If you were to build a 2 bedroom flat, can 500 get you that?.

How about people who use solar power to generate light?

You need to think twice

It won't if proper attention is focused on the corrosion aspect...

1. If there's any sign of rust, it should be immediately chipped off with a chipping hammer
2. Marine coating paint only should be use (First Prime the surface before using the marine coating paint)

Marine coating paint is used for painting ship's hull because ships works in a very harsh environment, where almost half of its body is submerged in salt water for years.

If such paint is used for painting this container house, it will last for 8-10years with no issues of corrosion.

Since the paint is VERY EXPENSIVE, I doubt those Nigerian designers would employ it's usage for the container house

You can use solar panels to cover all the roof and plant trees for shade around the house.

Secondly,the space is limited, a cargo container isn't that big.can 2 or 3 containers be joined together to create more space
