Nigerians Spend Millions On London Property-But WHERE? By Ruonah Meyer.
My London based sister and friend Ruonah Agbroko - Meyer decided to do an investigative interview of rich Nigerian buying houses in London and she did a marvellous 'legedes Benz' interview...and spiced it up with 'we waffy' pidgin..

Check it out................*Catch the Kisses for a job well done Ronny!

''Wealthy Nigerians spent over $390 million on property in London over the last 3 years according to new research. They are the biggest spenders out of the whole Africa - who, as a continent, spent over $938 million.

"The most expensive property we've ever sold to a Nigerian is actually a transaction we're in the middle of working on at the moment," says Camilla Dell, from Black Brick Property Solutions. "It's a property in the region of £50million (or $78million)."

While buyers from Africa account for only 1.5% of transactions in the "ultra-prime" London property market, they make up 5% of sales by value - which is up from 2%. And this is by spending between £15million and £25million on each home.

"I would like to buy in Mayfair," says one Nigerian lady. "But unfortunately, I cannot afford to live there."

The most sought after areas for Nigerians, in particular, in London are around Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Belgravia. Buyers include Africa's richest man - Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian businessman who has an estimated fortune of £16billion.

And the world's richest woman - Folorunsho Alakija, is an oil tycoon, fashion designer and philanthropist based in Lagos, but is also a big investor in the London. She recently bought four apartments in One Hyde Park, the super-exclusive development in Knightsbridge.

"They're running banks, oil and gas companies, telecomms companies and over the last ten or fifteen years have made a lot of money," explains Camilla Dell.

But many Nigerians are suspicious of such large amounts of money being spent on such lavish property, outside of Nigeria.

"You have to ask - where do they get the money from? Was it stolen money, because if you steal money from government or wherever - you want to live big," says one man.

"Those places are for big, even bigger girls!" laughs one lady who cannot afford such property in London.[/quote]

Stealing is not corruption-GEJ if they bought those houses with stolen money,then should be arrested.

I don't understand how these people think. They keep taking away the monies to West to buy houses, fancy cars, large bank account to the detriment of their country( Nigeria). This is very sad and such mentality should stop
