Power Couple Goals: NFL Star Calvin Anderson & His Wife Say ‘Love and Business Can Work in Nigeria’

 For NFL player Calvin Anderson and international real estate lawyer Sheree Lanihun-Anderson, love and business aren’t just compatible they’re inseparable. The power couple famously chose purpose over extravagance, opting to forgo a lavish wedding and instead launch the Lanihun-Anderson Foundation.

Now, they’re bringing that same intentionality to Nigeria with the launch of their joint venture, JB5 Investments a real estate company with a heart, a mission, and a long-term vision for building legacy.

“We don’t just believe in each other,” says Sheree. “We believe in what we can build together from marriage to investments, we’re aligned.”

The Secret Sauce: Purpose, Family & People-First Design

What sets JB5 apart isn’t just global experience or celebrity cachet  it’s a deep commitment to elevating lives through design. At JB5, every home is built with the comfort, safety, and well being of residents at its core.

Their approach blends Western construction quality with human-centered features rarely prioritized in the Nigerian housing sector:

Starting with Lagos and with plans to move into other states across the country, JB5 is building modern homes with advanced water filtration systems, non-slip tiles on staircases for safety at all ages and exquisite layouts designed with real families in mind amongst other things which are not common in modern Lagos homes

“We build the kinds of homes we’d want for our own families,” says Calvin. “That means quality, safety, and dignity not just aesthetics.”

Built By Family, For Families

The decision to build in Nigeria was personal. Sheree’s father, Tunji Lanihun, is a well-known figure in Ibadan’s business scene. Now serving as CEO of JB5 Investments Nigeria, Tunji brings decades of local market experience and trusted leadership to the team.

“If you want to go far, go together,” Calvin adds. “That’s our model as husband and wife, as a family, and now as partners building something meaningful in Nigeria.”

JB5 isn’t just selling homes. They’re laying foundations for healthier living, safer environments, and generational impact.
