The plan: out in the open.
Afrisovera Cities & Estate is a unity project: the African diaspora and friends of the project bring ideas and expertise together to plan world-class, self-sustaining cities, starting in Nigeria, with a UK-registered company holding everyone to account. This page shows where the project is and where it's going. No spin. The numbers below are illustrative planning estimates grounded in public data. The real figures will come from professional valuations and cost plans.
Why this works: the power of unity
The honest problem
Plenty of Africans abroad are building back home, and paying dearly for it: a single house, in an undeveloped community, built bit by bit over 10, 20, sometimes 30+ years, often costing a working life's savings, and still the streets, the power, the water, the schools, the security never arrive, because one house can't pull a town up around it. So the home sits half-used, or empty. Drive through and you'll see them: houses built with money earned over decades of hard work abroad, standing abandoned. Because, it turned out, it was never really the owner's chosen area; it was just where there was land. And honestly: who wants to leave a comfortable, developed life abroad to go and live somewhere their house is the only development for miles?
What Afrisovera does instead
It matches people who want the same thing, property back home, but in a planned, well-run community, and plans for them together. With one plan, a 25,000-hectare canvas, land enough for a full city, its farms and its forest. Can be laid out at once and developed rapidly, phase by phase, to one master plan: roads, power, water, schools, the hospital, the security, the mall, the jobs, built with the homes, not decades after. Instead of one person building alone and waiting a lifetime for the community to catch up, you key into the plan, register your interest, and move into a finished city. That is the whole idea, unity converting scattered, slow, risky individual effort into one fast, safe, world-class result.
And the bigger thing it exposes
Africa's real bottleneck has never been money or talent, the diaspora alone sends home tens of billions a year, and Africans build extraordinary things everywhere else in the world. The missing pieces have been unity and direction. When a company like Afrisovera puts those in place, something shifts: the people who actually know what good living conditions look like, the diaspora, plus the local hands and minds building it, plus experts in every field who are welcome to bring their ideas, start setting the standard, and governments become bound to follow it. And citizens across the continent begin to feel the self-awareness they've been missing for too long: that the people are the real government, not the ones who waited for the right leader who never came, but the ones who decided to build it themselves, together. This is a community trying to achieve one goal: bring home what we've learned abroad, better, with style and class, and lift our people out of poverty while we're at it. As the project grows, that includes our own inter-city trains, our own industries, our own institutions, built by us, for us, open to everyone who shares the vision.
Where the project is right now
Last updated 2026-10-30. This status is published as the project moves; if something slips, it will say so here.
The roadmap: six phases, each with a gate
Phase 0: Foundation we are here
Phase 1: Land
Phase 2: Master plan & enabling works
Phase 3: Core build
Phase 4: Occupancy & city life
Phase 5: Replicate
A phase doesn't start until the previous one's money, approvals and milestones are in place.
What an Afrisovera city contains
A complete, self-sustaining city, not a housing estate: homes of several types (detached & semi-detached duplexes with private parking, lift and stairs; townhouses; low- and mid-rise apartments; partnered new-format housing) · tree-lined tiled streets, parks, playgrounds & outdoor-activity grounds · a world-class hospital + neighbourhood clinics · schools, a public library, a technical college · a world-class mall, gyms & sports complexes, cinemas, restaurants, night clubs & a nightlife district, a 24-hour supermarket & 24-hour essentials · a wildlife park where semi-domesticated animals roam freely in their own semi-wild enclosures · a police station and CCTV across all key public areas, a staffed gatehouse, good lighting · an industrial & business estate where big brands can secure their plot/office early (jobs for residents; a major revenue line) · solar farms + battery storage, water capture & storage, vertical farms & glasshouses + farmland, fibre + EV charging; the city earns from surplus power, produce and services · and a station on the inter-city rail line linking to the next Afrisovera cities. African design language throughout, built from continent-sourced materials. Workers in the city are paid like the developed world: weekly and hourly wages, proper contracts.
The Four Pillars: what we actually build
Afrisovera's long-term commitment goes into four pillars. Real-world things and real people that will shape the vision forever. The Community Hub and Shield wrap around the pillars to keep the community engaged and honest. Each pillar has its own page, click through to go deeper.
A finished city, on day one.
Tree-lined streets, schools and clinics within a short walk, reliable power, water and fibre, quiet unobtrusive security. Premium in feel, affordable in price, because the whole city is planned and built together instead of one house alone over 30 years. See Cities →
Food sovereignty: eat what we grow.
Greenhouses, vertical farms, aquaponics, cold-chain, processing, 50,000+ tons/year and 5,000+ jobs in Phase 1. Model farming estates inside and around every city, with produce flowing into the city's markets. See Agriculture →
Stop importing what we can make ourselves.
Solar microgrids, electric trikes, water filters, smart irrigation, secure-identity hardware, the long-game homegrown handset, 10,000+ high-skill jobs in Phase 1. From consumers to creators. See Manufacturing →
The next generation of African leaders.
Afrisovera Builders: the T1 to T5 pipeline that turns unemployed youth into the certified, employed workforce that builds the city: paid from day one, City & Guilds/NBTE certification, a guaranteed job. Plus Talent Kids scholarships and community projects, schools, clinics, clean water. Every project publishes what it raised and what it spent. See Foundation →
The community around the pillars
Spaces that bring people into the movement and keep it honest.
Community Hub
Where real people surface real problems, find like minds, and build solutions together, from anywhere in the world. Not likes. Outcomes. See Hub →
Integrity
Report fraud, corruption, abuse of office or security threats, anonymously if you choose. "Together" doesn't mean lawless. See Shield →
Where each pillar lives in the timeline
Phase 0 (Foundation): the company & constitution, legal/financial/governance, the platform, the data room, this roadmap. Community focus: Shield channel opens, Hub launches so the movement can talk to itself.
Phase 1 (Land): corridor identified, due diligence, purchase & title perfected. Pillar focus: Cities & Real Estate.
Phase 2 (Master-plan & enabling works): master plan and approvals, roads, solar power, water, fibre, show-homes, brand pre-lets. Pillar focus: Agriculture (greenhouse + vertical-farm pilots) and Manufacturing (first solar & battery assembly line). The first 5,000+ ag jobs and the foundry's first 1,000 manufacturing jobs come online.
Phase 3 (Core build): first 1,000–2,000 homes; hospital, school, library, mall core, police station, parks, wildlife park, first industrial units. Off-plan sales fund rolling phases. Pillar focus: Cities reaches first occupancy; Foundation's first Talent-Kids cohort enrols and the first community-funded school & clinic open.
Phase 4 (Occupancy & city life): handover; residents move in; gyms, clubs, 24-hr retail, events; city management; rail link scoped. Pillar focus: Manufacturing hits its 10,000-job Phase 1 target; Agriculture's processed-food output feeds the city.
Phase 5 (Replicate): lock the playbook, select country #2 (Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Tanzania candidates), repeat faster and cheaper, inter-city rail begins, gains roll into the next city. Pillar focus: all three pillars, scaled to a new country.
Mortgage / home-payment calculator (for modelling, not a credit offer)
Standard repayment-mortgage maths. Real Afrisovera homes can be bought with staged off-plan instalments, mortgages (Nigerian banks, NMRC/FMBN, diaspora-mortgage products), rent-to-own, or cash. Rates and terms shown are examples; set your own to model your situation. Currency shown as £; the project's accounts and prices will be in the appropriate currency.
Compliance: the honest bit
Afrisovera is a model real-estate and city-development platform. We do not take or hold client money, and nothing on this page is an offer of investment, a deposit scheme or a promise of returns. We will register the Nigerian SPV with Nigerian counsel and the relevant authorities, run proper KYC/AML and data protection, and keep this page and the documents honest about what stage we're at. Nothing here is an offer and no money is taken: walk through the homes and register interest only.
Project documents: the data room
The plan isn't just a pitch. There's a working set of documents an incoming project team, architect and advisers would actually use to start. They're draft v0.1, written to be reviewed and signed off by the Board and the project's lawyers/accountants. As we move properly into Phase 0, the full data room (these documents, the constitution, accounts, the master plan and progress reports) is made available to advisers and partners.
