Having lived and worked across US, UK and Ireland for over 25 years, I will be retiring next year (56 years old) and I intend relocating back home (Nigeria). The last time I visited Nigeria was 2010 and not too sure of current happenings at home. I no longer have friends and families at home (they have all moved outside Nigeria) - I am aware of security and economic challenges and I daily monitored Nigerian news online, but is this a good idea?

I will be looking at setting up few businesses etc around property development and farming - a good idea? Any good suggestion of current cost of living in Lagos or Ibadan?

All suggestions and ideas are welcomed and appreciated!

First of all,join the property section of Nairaland. Forget everything you think you know about Nigeria, follow the thread religiously and ask questions.

You will find how to navigate building market and meet like minds there.

Good luck and Godspeed

Don't try this ooo.
