I didn’t start Kadara Prime because it was easy. In fact, nothing about it has been easy. About four years ago, I was working as a digital marketing consultant for a real estate company. That was when I came across what would later become a life-changing opportunity. But let me rewind a bit. Around 2016, while I was a 300-level engineering student, I missed my registration window and had to defer my final year due to some reasons, a story for another day. At that time, my friends and I were in the early stages of our entrepreneurship journey, barely started. We organised a seminar and secured sponsorship from the National Pension Commission (PENCOM). It was a Hausa seminar we named HAPSE, aimed at educating people about the contributory pension scheme under the Pension Reform Act in Hausa in Kano. That experience introduced me to the pension industry. Fast forward to 2022, and I found myself in a position to understand the newly introduced 25% Retirement Savings Account withdrawal for residential property. That period opened my eyes. I began to see how disorganised the real estate sector was, especially in Kano, where I live. I went everywhere. Different locations. Different communities. Trying to understand how things actually worked. And that was when I registered @KadaraPrime Land Development Company Limited (initially Kadara Real Estate). I didn’t start Kadara Prime because it was easy. There was no funding to rely on. Even some family members were sceptical, and honestly, that was understandable. When people barely know you, how do you expect them to trust you with their hard-earned resources? There was no safety net. I self-funded the company through my side hustles until the 2nd quarter of 2025. Just an idea… and a problem I couldn’t ignore. In the early days, progress was slow. My first project, a joint venture that I fully self-funded, was a very difficult experience. But I’m grateful for it. It taught me lessons I couldn’t have learned any other way. That experience shaped me, is also what led to the rebranding from Kadara Real Estate to Kadara Prime Land Development. Accessing land wasn’t straightforward. Things that should take weeks stretched into months. At times, it felt like the system itself was designed to resist structure. And then there were funding issues. The plans were clear. The vision was strong. But the capital wasn’t there. There are moments people don’t talk about. Moments where you question everything. Is this worth it? Should I pause? Should I walk away and do something easier? Because the truth is, it would have been easier. Easier to follow a more predictable path. Easier to wait until everything was “perfect.” Easier to do what everyone else was already doing. I almost gave up at some point. But I’m grateful for the few people who believed in me. Their support, their encouragement, meant everything. And it’s something I will never take for granted. But beyond that, I couldn’t ignore what I had seen. The gaps in the system. The inefficiencies. The missed potential. I kept asking myself: what actually needs to be done? I know it may take time. And I’m okay with that. Because I believe it will be worth it in the end. Walking away wouldn’t solve the problem. And more importantly, I understood this: If we keep avoiding difficult problems, we will keep repeating the same outcomes. So I stayed. Not because it was comfortable, but because it mattered. Kadara Prime is still in the early stages. (Yes can still participate in a private funding of our projects) DM me, let's talk! We are building step by step. Solving problems as they come. Learning, adjusting, and moving forward. But one thing has remained constant: The commitment to build something that works. Something structured. Something reliable. Something that creates real, lasting value. This is not a straight path. But it is a deliberate one. And I’m fully committed to seeing it through.

@iishaparekh Programming is like math: as long as your logic is correct, you can always predict the outcome. Marketing, however, is a different beast. No matter how successful a strategy is in one industry, it might completely fail in another. That's why I'm betting on the latter.

marketing is 100x harder than programming

@geegachadz @Thebiglade Abeg, calm down 😎

@Abdulbasidmd @Thebiglade Ok, Mr Socrates

How many States in Nigeria have you been to? mine: just 8 you?

@SirJarus Key lesson, don't underrate/underestimate accounts with small followers.

I have been doing business with this Madam for three years. She has bought two houses from me. She is from Twitter. But I am just knowing her handle today. After three years of being my customer. She has less than 1000 followers. In fact, 95% of my customers are from here and I don't know the handles of 90% of them.

@tosinolaseinde This is great advice, thanks.

Speak to at least 10 random people per week. Pay them genuine compliment or strike a short convo. God didn’t put 8 billion of us here to not interact with each other. Say hi to the next person.

I'm looking for a videographer and editor. Kindly recommend one if you know any. Thanks. Location: Kano.

A few weeks into building this publicly, here’s what it has taught me so far. Some things confirmed what I already believed. Some things forced me to rethink completely. A few lessons stand out: Structure is harder than it sounds, and it’s easy to talk about planning. Much harder to enforce it on the ground, especially in an unstructured system. Speed is overrated; moving fast feels productive. But in real estate, speed without structure creates problems you’ll spend years fixing. Most problems are not visible at the beginning. What looks fine on day one can become a major issue later if you didn’t prepare for it early. The right people matter more than the number of people, whether it’s team, partners, or investors; alignment is everything. Clarity builds trust faster than marketing; the more transparent we’ve been, the more serious conversations we’ve attracted. One thing is clear: Real estate looks simple from the outside. It is not. We’re still early. But we’re clearer now than when we started. And that clarity will shape everything we build going forward. If this way of thinking aligns with you, I’m open to a conversation.

They built a home for 200+ children in one of the hottest places on Earth and said no air conditioning. Here’s how the building solves that. Tadjourah sits on the Horn of Africa with temperatures that have broken world records. Urko Sanchez Architects didn’t respond with glass curtain walls and mechanical cooling. They looked at what the people of this region already knew worked. The Medina. A tight cluster of narrow alleyways that shade each other. Small squares that breathe. Wind catcher towers that rise above the roofline, catch whatever breeze exists, and funnel it down into the interiors below. The streets themselves are oriented as ventilation corridors, air accelerates through them. No doors on many of the openings. Musharabiyah screens instead, air passes through freely, direct sun doesn’t. Pale earthen cement on every surface to reflect heat rather than absorb it. Trees planted throughout to build a microclimate over time. Simple precast cement blocks. Reinforced concrete. Zero imported climate logic. This is what happens when the building is the climate system. Africa has been doing this for centuries. The question is why we stopped. SOS Children’s Village, Tadjourah, Djibouti.

What limits individuals as well as nations is the inability to confront reality, to see things for what they are. As we grow older, we become more rooted in the past. Habit takes over. Something that has worked for us before becomes a doctrine, a shell to protect us from reality. Repetition replaces creativity.

China has built the world's largest train station. The vast Chongqing East covers an area of 1.22M square metres and was constructed in just 38 months. To give you a sense of scale this place is: ➡️ 2 times bigger than Vatican City ➡️ 3 times bigger than Japan's Nagoya Central ➡️ 6 times bigger than New York's Grand Central ➡️ 15 times bigger than Leipzig Hauptbahnhof ➡️ 27 times bigger than Sydney Opera House ➡️ 170 times bigger than a football pitch This is why it was built 👉 bit.ly/49akRdi

No be today oo. This is Lagos Ikeja, 2017. We attended a meeting with a media buying and placement company (I forgot the company’s name) regarding an Idea of ours. The funny thing about this trip is that we had no money for the flight at that time. And there were frequent accidents on the roads, so we ended up following that old train. To cut a long story short we spent 3 days on the way and didn't reach Lagos, I think we had to drop off at Abeokuta. The train got damaged beyond a manageable number of times and if my memory serves me right, two people died on that train on that trip.

We’re opening early conversations with a few strategic investors. Now that the foundation is becoming clearer. Over the past weeks, we’ve defined how we think about land, how we approach development, and what we’re building with projects like Savannah Gardens. This is not about isolated plots. It’s about structured, long-term value creation. And that requires the right kind of alignment. We’re not looking for everyone. We’re looking for a few people who: - Think long-term - Understand that structure comes before speed - Are comfortable with early-stage opportunities - Value clarity, process, and discipline. Because in projects like this, who you build with matters as much as what you build. We’re taking a deliberate approach. Transparent in how we operate. Structured in how we plan. Patient in how we grow. This is still early. And early comes with both risk and real opportunity. If this aligns with how you think about investing, I’m open to a conversation.

We are looking for qualified individuals with experience and the hunger to deliver results. Location: On-site, Kano. You can send your CV to info@kadaraprime.com @KadaraPrime

28. “I have kids” isn’t an excuse. It’s the #1 reason to get dangerous. 29. You will never regret making your own money.

12. Start building something you control. A skill. A business. A body that still works. 13. The older you get, the fewer opinions you need. Keep your circle small and trustworthy.
