The businessman also advised social media users not to build a house with their savings.

He said that without being financially stable, one could quickly go broke after investing in a building project.

Building to decking in 6 days

In conversation with Legit.ng, Genga Muritala, an expert builder, did not entirely agree such a project could be built in six days.

He said:

"The digging of the foundation itself takes time. Even if labourers worked nights; achieving that within six days is impossible from my experience."

Man roofs his house with N3m

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man shared a video of a house he built with N3m with its roofing done. Many people were amazed.

The man (@iam_olykiss) said that with N2m spent more, he would finish the interior and flooring of the house.

He added that he did not know why people doubted N5m could finish a home.
