- He Turns Shipping Containers Into Luxury Hotels is another episode of my Made in Africa series where I feature black entrepreneurs from all across Africa who have built successful businesses and they tell us how they did it. Today's episode is about Mr. Olaoluwa who is a Nigerian entrepreneur building tiny homes and restaurants with shipping containers. He tells us how he left the UK and shares with us how he was able to build his business in Nigeria and some of the challenges he has faced on his entrepreneurial journey.
In this video, I toured his pre-fabricated real estate container house project made in Lagos Nigeria and I also show you a new innovative way of constructing and owning real estate in Africa. If you have plans of moving to Nigeria and owning real estate, this video is for you. Do like watch and enjoy.

Nigerians are purely intelligent and hard working people 🇲🇿✔️🙏
Right 👍
I started learning how to make container houses 2 months ago
I'm a lady and some persons thinks I'm stupid
But I'll come out strong
This motivated me a lot 😭
Awesome! Started some years ago so you're definitely not stupid.
You definitely will come out strong. Make efforts to do case studies, visit existing ones and meet their builders.
We can achieve whatever we put our mind to. I wish you well in your endeavor.
Pls do you mind you drop details of where u learning
Not stupid, but brave and ready for a blessed challenge. You go girl#
Is there a way to contact you?
“Basically you don’t know what it is that you want to do, just start, start, start now!! “
Cool
Creativity is something you can't take away from Nigeria. This is really awesome.
Really what have they created ? Boko Haram? Juju? Bad leaders? Large prostitute and drug network?
It's so heart warming seeing fellow Africans doing great things. GOD bless Africa
Amen amen amen 🙏
When you have lemons, make lemonade! WE have excess containers because we export minimal finished goods and import everything. So ships come to our ports with goods and the containers get left behind and the ships leave our ports empty. We don't even fabricate the containers ( i stand to be corrected). this is great stuff and hope the idea expands to help with lowcost housing.
No, most of the containers are rented from their base and return whenever they offloaded their goods in fact they have limited time they must return, failure to do so there’s always a fine to pay. No container is wasted the one that are seeing not returned are the one the agents bought
Interesting. Possibly the mountains of containers around Lagos are resold from agents who paid for the containers then. I always assumed it was a logistic inefficiency to be carrying deadweight on ships to diffferent ports around the world. Imagining if a ship had 3-6 ports to stop before going to home port weeks later.
The containers must be returned, else a penalty is paid. Those containers are assets to the shipping companies.
Nigerians are brilliant!
The last time I came to your channel, you had about 280k subscribers... Now you're clocking half a million subscribers?? Man, kudos to your hard work. And the quality of your contents keeps on improving. Well done brother.
An ENTREPRENEUR who sees OPPORTUNITIES not challenges. Well done 👏 👏👏👏🌍
My dream is to live in an off grid but modern 2x40ft shipping container home in the Caribbean, by far this is like the most interesting shipping container video. What Olaluwa is saying is on point and no messing around.
Most modern hotels In the Docklands area of London just opposite London City Airport are built using shipping containers .
Smart idea. Love to the Caribbean family from Nigeria!!!!!!!! Bloodline.
Container homes are cool 😎 and resilient. They are popular here, as a cost effective and 'sustainable' way to address our housing crisis. And we have earthquakes, but shipping containers are resilient to shakes. Thanks for posting this... from New Zealand 🇳🇿
What’s MW
Shipping containers can withstand earthquakes? 😳 🤔
@@OlatundeAdegbola yep, they can withstand earthquakes and cyclones we have here often
@@OlatundeAdegbola very well so. They're made from non corrosive highstrength steel with 6 reinforcements elements. That's how they can move through the sea, storm and sunshine carrying cars nd goods stacked on themselves and don't collapse lol.
You get?
I'll factor new Zealand as a travel location. Do you have an Instagram?
I can listen to this dude all Day ,He knows his stuff
Dude I love repurposed materials/sustainable housing…that whole world, this is so cool.
Man, the way you tell stories through your videos are so good.
It's the Horses for me and my Grandmother's name is Ola Jean! Salute Ola!
Build an idea, build a team, build a business.........😎🙏✌️
Good. Construction companies have been using containers for temporary buildings for workers for a long time.
This brother has vision and mad technical know how. Awesome!
Mr Ola…..self made engr Ola…..he is actually very good at his craft
Nigeria step into your greatness. You can do it no need to run away
Absolutely beautiful, this can solve the housing problems in Africa
I am the happiest to work with the Bamisile Brothers too, Smart guys they are.... Keep on with the great work
One thing I have learned in my BUSINESS MANAGEMENT degree is from a module called CPD [Continuous professional development] this guy shows that very well from photography/videography /banking & now the building of businesses using shipping containers watching this from the CARIBBEAN in TRINIDAD&TOBAGO this a very good idea to alleviate homelessness in the continent there is a next guy who builds a home from plastic I think you have just found & presented the solution in breaking down all these shanty towns blighted looking shacks thanks to you & TH-cam yesterday was my birthday I love this video it made my day & is a gr8 gift for our people BLESSINGS & THANKS.
Another advantage this building has is its moveable
True talk, he actually learnt every aspect himself and has always been of the opinion that if you want to do something just start and figure it out along the way..
Thanks Ola for bringing me along on part of that journey..
This is great for creating open and fun workspaces for people who work remotely. Just so they can leave their homes every now and then and network with others like them. There is definitely room for this in Nigeria.
My plans already when I come back to Nigeria
Few minutes ago I was imagining how tayo Aina will caption this Video I just finished editing, boom I saw your notification 😁... Keep Inspiring us king... Great Video here again 🙏
Whats the video about. Let me give you a caption ?😁
@@TayoAinaFilms I talked about a philanthropy and how he's trying to end poverty in Lagos by setting up a Foundation, helping less privileges, widows and more people in need
This man is a genius. Glad he's planted IN Africa, we need these geniuses here. More opportunities for him there.
I'll be retiring in Ghana, currently in UK, I could use a professional like that, we already have a 9 bedroom house with enough land. I'd like to build a private gym using shipping containers
I'm setting up a couple of units with containers in the mountains as well in Ghana
You Don't Have to Know What You Want to Do. Just Start NOW!!! Best Advise! Just Be It Because It's The Only Way Of Being!
Tayo have a shop build with container, I which I can share the pictures here. My shop use to be a makeup shop when I was full time make up artist.
It's a 10 by 10 container shop, I got the container for 110k, I covered it with pvc and tiled the floor and corridor. It has slide class door, it is beautiful. If you see it from the inside you won't know it's a container shop.
But the problem is, the outside has started damaging because of rain and sun. It's a good way of setting up things like restaurant or beautiful shops if there is a way to prevent it from rusting .
I have too. Where i cook. It gets too hot at some point
Wow 🤩, even the interior aesthetics is satisfying to the eyes 😍
Amazing is the only word that comes to mind. Amazing things are taking place in Africa. You guys can have Portugal. I'm going to the Motherland.
I enjoyed this; I just was gifted some acreage in the Caribbean, I was trying to figure out to cut the cost of building my family's home, this was very helpful. Really enjoyable.
Yes my brother that was very wonderful really really wonderful I am from London I really hope I can get to meet you one day because you’re very interesting
Been to Ité and if not for this video I could have sworn that the building wasn’t made with containers. Great stuff, Olaoluwa
I like the plants 🌱 🔥🔥🔥 the more green the better. I also like the African art. Beautiful talent.
The more green the better? so why aren't you in the village? there is unlimited green over there.
@@jyde50 ignorance go kill una, em dey talk about incorporating man made structure with nature and you miss the point
@@jyde50 You don’t get it and I don’t have time to explain to you. Oh and village is beautiful bro.
I want to buy one of these homes in Nigeria for my retirement.
Me too, I intend to build a container home
Those horses at 4:08 so casual enjoying a snack at the beach. Lovely
I love this. Tayo= My Favorite Vlogger ❤️
This is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Tayo.
I understand it's a show for Nigerian audience but Would be nice if you could also quote prices in USD. This was very eye-opening.
I agree ... we want his expertise too..snd his professional contact?
JUST START... That's the Mantra.
Loved the way the containers used.
Wow. This is wisdom!!!
It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age.
Investing in cryptocurrency now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
I heard a lot about Mrs Bonnie Berville and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
I'm trading with expert Mrs, Bonnie Berville , a regulated broker. Met her sometime early last year at a startup funding event. She had some interesting things to say about the state of algorithmic trading today, very obviously I'm seeing the results.
Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned and recommended Mrs,Bonnie Berville thought people don't know her..
I have also been trading with her, The profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. I made up to $360,000 in 2months trading with her
I love it. Thanks for sharing
Good job. Thank so much for promoting our African artworks for the decoration.
Very smart man!
One thing I pray for daily is that God gives me ideas to make wealth. You may have experience and education, but when you have ideas that excite you, you're unstoppable.
Edifying piece , once again. Thanks Tayo

This is such valuable content. Thank you Tayo🙏
Brilliant video, amazing content. Thanks for sharing
How creative! Wow! 👏🏾
Again another well done video Tayo! I think the advice in this video is interesting given that your previous video with gentleman who biked from London to Lagos, said to have a plan. That way when things get challenging you will have a goal in mind and won’t be discouraged. I’m excited to see the discussions that will be had about which approach works best for a given situation. Thank you again for such informative content! Much love from a born Nigerian raised in America, learning about my home brings me a sense of belonging that can be hard to articulate. ❤
INTERESTING AND INSPIRATION .

Thank you so much Tayo for putting these videos together, Thanks to them I was encouraged to start my own business too🙏🏾🙏🏾
The design is great
I love this video
Your video is good❤❤ Nigeria is now developing❤❤
I Love this and I'm loving your channel. One problem I saw a few times was rising damp in the containers in the video, all up the walls.
Wow so much wisdom, talent, foresight, more blessings brother. You need to open an interm teaching program.
Very impressive! Very talented young man go build your world in Africa
Being economically challenged ( poor ) you repurpose all the time so this makes perfect sense to me and I mean why not we through away too much ! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Now that's pretty cool. Great idea!
Thanks for watching!!!
i really commend your drive, zeal and passion in creativity. well done my brother. niceee
You are the BEST 👌🏾 I am serious.
He's a better and most rational architect that any Austrian one. He should come here to teach them how to build apartments blocks with regular shapes and usable spaces!
Wowwww… I literally had goosebumps watching thissss wow wow wow
Happy New Month, Tayo !
More Blessings 🙏🏿
What type of licensure is involved? what about the land on top of which it is built? do you buy or do you lease the land? perhaps do another video on building requirements
Hey Tayo, trust you are well. Thanks for another amazing story. I really like the Made in Africa logo. This is a story of creativity, courage and wisdom. I like when he said ‘I SAW THE NEED’. Many entrepreneurs has jump on the opportunity of the gap in the market to start solving problem and built wealth in the process. I always say the TH-cam is the biggest KNOWLEDGE DATABASE in the world. Uncountable number of people has shared stories of how they learn important skills on TH-cam. Learning is important for growth and I really appreciate that I am reminded of the value in leaning again in this video. I am amazed at how quickly it takes for the building to be ready. The interiors look great. The business surely have great potentials in across Nigeria and West Africa area. I pray his business continue to grow and continue to impact the society around him. Thanks you Tayo for another job well done.
These AFRICA GUYS have PhDs coming out their asses but no JOBS
This is so inspiring
Thank God for Africa and African excellence
Great interview, thanks 👍👍
Bravo pour ton excellent contenu ! C'est très inspirant
