Hmmmm. . . 2015, I was 26years old then, a simple
1 bedroom flat in Abeokuta.

I built my first house in Ijebu in 1996. It was twin duplex with a BQ.

I built the second house in Lagos in 2007. It was a tripple duplex with penthouses and a BQ.

But now that I am tired of building in the dream state, I want them in the physical realm including all the women on Nairaland that I have impregnated.

Yes, very very very gradual, I started off with a 3bd foundation and went off.

At my lowest ebb in life's sojourn, I went on to build a 2room, roofed and moved in with my family... I saved a lot and my mum did a lot of labor job... We needed to save a lot of cash.
It was looking all rough but we needed shelter.

I moved on to building the bricks for the 3rd room, kitchen and toilets... Prayers answered, I roofed.
Then came the remaining big sitting room and dinning room...
I don't even know how it happened, but I fixed the bricks and just took a chill pill... I cannot come and kill myself...

God never leaves his own people, he saw my wahala, goal and strive, he made a way, and I roofed the last batch.
Few months later, we tiled, plastered, fix windows and burglary, toilet and the likes.

In all, my mom did a lot of labor work.. I was determined! I saved like my life depended on this project. I need a decent home for my family cos we have suffered shelter a lot growing up. In all, if you put your mind to it, you'll make it happen. Start small, weigh you pockets and responsibility, be determined.

Savings.

Change the topic to at what age did you build your first house? People are more interested at the age than the year of building your first house.

@26? Where you working?

Yes, I started working at the age of 23, I was advised by my late friend to channel the money I used in buying "big" phones into building a house, thank GOd that I listened to him, so I started with the one bedroom flat and then another three bedroom, it's just the grace of God sha.
