Concerning housing, I think we are at the point where the government really does have to step into the housing situation. It's going to have to be a long term plan that will supercede governors and their reigns, so we really are no where close. If the government doesn't step in, no landlord wants to be the saint John and lead the way.
For housing, this isn't a direct solution to the scarcity or low standard problem but I think a house insurance policy taken by the tenants and a guarantor system (state-backed) might make landlords more willing to accept monthly rent within the duration of a signed contract.
I think Jiji has a thing where you can see reviews of listed houses, yet it doesn't fix the underlying issue, which is that there is a housing shortage in Lagos. I'll check out the podcasts, thanks for recommending!!

Podcast Rec:
You would love Planet Money. They do a lot of Econ stuff but in a fun, interesting way like the way you write
Running off to check it now. Thanks for recommending!
For housing, crowd sourced peer reviews. Basically like Yelp but for the end to end process of house hunting.
Podcast- It depends on what you want to do, if it is conversational, SYSK is great.
If it is narrative, Malcolm Gladwell does a brilliant job with Revisionist History.
