Five years is long enough to know whether something was just all excitement or an actual commitment, long enough to face real problems and see if you’ll run or stay and long enough for people to decide if they trust you or not.
For MKH Properties, five years have been all of that and more. Dr Muibi Kehinde Hammed started this company with something most people don’t talk about enough: hope.
Hope that Nigerians could have better access to real estate, hope that doing business with integrity would actually work, and that if we focused on people instead of just profit, something meaningful would grow.
And it did grow, but not in the smooth, perfect way we see in success stories. There were delays, disappointments, and moments when the vision felt further away than it did at the start.
CEO’S Reflections
“Some days tested everything we believed in,” Dr Muibi reflects. “You plan for one thing, and life gives you another. But that’s where you learn who you really are and what you’re really building.”
What strikes us most about our journey is how much we learned by listening. Listening to clients who wanted transparency, listening to partners who saw potential but needed proof and listening to our own team when things needed to change.
Because here’s the truth about building anything that lasts, you can’t do it alone, and you definitely can’t do it thinking you know everything.
We’ve been shaped by every person who crossed our path,” Dr Muibi says. “The clients who trusted us taught us responsibility. The challenges taught us resilience. Our team taught us that good ideas can come from anywhere if you’re humble enough to listen.
Today, as MKH Properties celebrates five years, we are grateful to God for keeping us, to our clients for trusting us, and to the team for believing.
We’re not celebrating because we’ve arrived; we’re celebrating because we’re here, and still committed. And that’s worth celebrating.
