Meet 40-Year-Old Nigerian Man Who Turns Containers into Fine Houses, Gives Reasons They’re Better

In an exclusive interview, he shared with Legit.ng why container houses are better than brick ones in his book and why people should begin to look in that direction.

Why container houses are better than break ones

While keeping mum on his educational background, Ifeanyichuwku told Legit.ng that he has been in the business for the past two years.

When asked if container houses were better than brick ones, he said:

"Yes, it's better because it can take you less than one week to get a container home. It's also movable and is called home away from home."

He went on to rate container houses higher than brick ones in terms of prices.

"The price (for container houses) is also cheaper than the brick houses."
