That's not true, many people relocate after a while or invest, I'm sure you know some people that have done that or do you want to be buried abroad and forgotten by all except your kids?

Does the dead care if they are buried or cremated? What do they know, they are already dead....

Those that remember the dead, do they visit the graveyard or simply refresh their memories pictorially?

It won't go far for you because you now think like a Westerner but for most pure breed Nigerians I assure you that this money will go far even for land or investment e.g.Tbills, this is why it's important to visit often so that you will learn and understand what people are doing. A lot can be done with N10 million naira.

So why do people pay heavy sums of money for their dead loved ones to be brought back?

Emotional attachments to corpse or the wish of the deceased or simply cultural norms.....

Does the dead eventually know where they are buried?

@ukmigrant (sorry for this post but i need to put this Lady/man in his or her place)

@pidgin2 no sane person with N10m cash will invest in nigeria unless that person is ignorant.
why you ask ?.
when you have the likes of
a. currupt officials from previous Head of states e.g Obj selling NePa,Nitel etc to Cops,immigration,custom,civil servants,teachers/lecturers even a kid of 5yrs in nigeria has the bloodline of curruption flowing in his blood or have we forgotten

how do you expect one to start a business and earn a stable profit ?

I want to do the same but can't figure out profitable one with lower risk.

One profitable one i can advise you as a worker in a financial institute here in Nigeria, since its investment by proxy is to find a good bank that gives good interest on fixed deposit and you invest in FDs. Place your funds in the ones that are not tax deductible and all you need to do is to go and sleep while your capital grow on a rollover basis.

One of my brothers practically lives on FD. I manage his account, he started with certain amount few years ago but as at now his investment is closed to N100m all this he generated on interest at rollover. What i did was constant monitoring of his FD, as soon as I noticed that interest for certain amount for a particular tenor has been increased, sharply i made him do a termination request and add some money to the existing one then rebook at the new interest rate. Today he gets close to N2m as interest alone monthly from his FD. His money is working for him without any stress or running after debtor or clients/customers no dey or no gree pay, govt policies, or dollar don high/don drop etc. The only risk is if the bank is on the run but off course that cannot happen again for nig as CBN has put a strong regulatory buffer for that aspect.

FD is sweet when the capital is huge. If you are interested, you can place your funds in FD with my bank, we give the best rate in the market, ours is the most competitive currently on the banking sector.

Nigeria value system is so wrong, people throw figures around carelessly even when the product doesn't worth it.

I think its better to buy a house and redevelop it than buying a land to build on.


Absolutely, buy a house and redevelop and resell good deal

Oga justwise am sure u know wat u doing sha,

Before u invest £20k in Nigeria pls save on top and invest it in the west.

Dont allow people advise you wrongly. when you dont stay in a place for long you lost touch of time and lack knowledge of how thing operate there. Am not comparing Nig with the west becos the disparity is much but when it comes to certain aspect, you cant beat Nija and that is in the area of wealth creation particularly when you have adequate funds. So why die in obodo oyinbo when the wise ones who have tasted both worlds but failed o be carried away with the aesthetics of the west and decides to danta for there, but instead do come home frequently to rin nko mole for naija.

Abeg wise up. If you understand how we roll here omo abroad will be just a stepping stone to hitting it big in naija.

If you want to set up a business and make huge returns in the shortest possible time, naija is the best place for you. You start your business with no stress. Naija is also the place where you can get very rich easily if you know what to do.

But if you care so much about orderliness and functionality, healthcare, quality education, security, etc maybe consider living abroad.

Me I want to have what both worlds offer, once I set myself up well here na to start to dey invest for naija o. No dulling at all!

Omo you too sharp! i gbadun you sense of reasoningly jare, some people go just lost their sense for obodo oyinbo all in the name of things are working here, naija don spoil etc.

My brother lives in the USA but his doing well in nija. He makes his money here but comes to nija to do something meaningful with it.

So you could not even advise him to do Treasury Bill,rather the yeye Fixed Deposit with shikini interest rate.

Nigerians too like corpse oo, they will practically starve their parent to death, then feed the whole community for seven days to celebrate the death.

This is my home , where ever I die is where I want to be buried, I just hope it will be where it will my convenient for my kids to visit incase they are the type that will find consolation in tending my grave.

Don't understand why anyone would want to be buried in naija if they lived abroad.

You are a learned and wise man. When you are ready to do this, you can always reach out and i can share what am into myself.

Also, i observed that amongst all Naija in Diaspora the larger percent of people who fit into the item you have described above(have both worlds as you stated) are those in Germany. Yes, Business wise in Naija alot of people in Germany have done well for themselves in this aspect.. (The smart ones though)
Try to network with people around(from other countries too), make new friends, learn new things and exploit other fields.

The Best.

Bros i totally agree with you jare, but the aspect were i totally disagree is the Country. You can be in any country in diaspora dey hustle and still fit into the above. I have wise ones in USA, UK, Turkey, Canada, dubai even some african countries etc who no go re kpe te for there all in the sake of say nija don spoil, notin is working in nija etc becos they failed to listen to the voice of sharpness or rather they are more of not a risk taker.

If you have tasted both worlds and you are smart and hardworking, omo you go blow big time for nija. just use your head, know where you are coming from sha. live low oversea (you dnt even need to stress yoursef as all is working) gather your money come nija come expand, go back again go work.... you just have to make the best out of wherever you find yourself. Me sha o i rep Nija. Nija sweet, have tasted several worlds grin

Do you understand the principles of Tbills? that would'nt works for him considering his business/investment intentions. You need to know your customer and customise the best investment for them. Are you aware that at a time wot he was getting as interest in FD, Tbils no give am that? Sometimes FDs interest Matches that of TBills, you just have to be studying the market, no be to just put money for any of these fin instrument like that

You really need to understand the principles of these instruments to know which one works for you, also all other considering factors.

It all depends on what you are looking at.

If you are looking at long time financial security, them TBills it is, but when looking at a short time investment returns I will advise you scout for the best FD rate you can get in the market and go for it.
