Happy Sunday,
Last week, you shared thoughtful views on what needs to change about housing in Nigeria. This Sunday, we’re continuing the conversation.
This week’s question:

Reply with your choice and tell us why. A sentence or two is all it takes, but we welcome a longer response if you have more to share.
Selected responses may be featured anonymously in next Sunday’s edition.
