Why I think you should invest into Real Estate in Nigeria.

In a society where making ends-meet seems to be a challenge, investing into sustainable businesses is a good way out. Today, business ideas abound and almost every serious minded person wants to have a money producing 'something' that s/he has control over. I need not say that getting money is more often that not a result of the value you bring to the table.

'Money is an end game of your exploits and the value you bring to the table.'

The Real Estate market is a business environment worth investing your money into as a lot of opportunities are in this market.

Think about this: Nigeria has an estimated housing deficit of 17million units, and  a 2015 World Bank study projects the cost of bridging this gap to be over N59.5trillion. You might say 'this is a big challenge' or 'that is the government's problem'. Well, I consider the later statement to be ridiculous; housing problem is not the government's problem, it is a social problem that demands the collective efforts of the private and public sectors.

I must commend the ambitious drive of Real Estate Development firms like Ifitech & Associates Limited, Brains & Hammers Limited and many others who are investing heavily into solving this housing challenge.

 However, you and I can contribute our quota; if you have a substantial amount of money, I think you should consider buying a land or a landed property, and if you don't have a substantial amount, I think you should start saving towards it- it's is a wise step.

Work towards owning a land, developing a structure on it, letting or selling it, and contribute towards filling this housing gap. Investment in land is never a waste.

Remember, money is an exchange for value, once you are able to create value-a product or service that people need, making money would not be a challenge.

 'You want to solve your money-challenge, think of solving the housing challenge.'

What do you know about India? Bollywood?

The world's richest man, Bill Gates of Microsoft posted an article on the 1st of May, 2017 on India's war on human waste. It is an insightful article as it highlights the vision of the Current Prime Minister of India - Narendra Damodardas Modi to improve public health; an excerpt from his first speech to the nation commemorating India's independence day captures this vision: "We are living in the 21st century. Has it ever pained us that our mothers and sisters have to defecate in the open?... The poor womenfolk of the village wait for the night; until darkness descends, they can't go out to defecate. What bodily torture they must be feeling, how many diseases that act might engender? Can't we make arrangements for toilets for the dignity of our mothers and sisters?" Less than 3 months after the speech, Modi's government started a campaign called Clean India Movement ( "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" in Hindi)  which now includes ending open d...

Faith-less

Humans like to claim sole credit for their achievements; many times you see phrases like 'he is a self-made millionaire' , 'she built this business all by herself'. We don't really like to attribute our success or accomplishments to someone else.  Same thing with the subject of influence; we almost always want to claim original knowledge or thought and to shove aside any idea that what we claim to know and believe is in fact a result of an external influence.  We are all products of one influence or the other. You may claim to not believe in God and that you are in fact not a religious person; the fact remains that believing God doesn't exist, is a religion itself because you believe something and you are ready to prove that what you believe is true. You are influenced by someone or something anti-God; trust me you are not acting on your own. You have to know this! God does exist and if you want proof, just look around. Look at the trees, look at the birds, the ...
