Living abroad often comes with the pressure to build a house in Nigeria as a sign of success, yet our fluctuating economy makes real estate a risky gamble. With shifting religious views on debt and the challenges of managing property from thousands of miles away, I'm curious how others balance this cultural expectation with the realities of dating and building a future in a foreign land. Is it truly a necessary anchor for our faith and identity, or just an expensive burden we feel forced to carry?
