Stop Your Fraudulent Attitude To Your Folks Based Overseas by BecomeALandLord(m): 8:24am On Nov 05, 2017
Hello everyone, I want to share something with us today.

This is an occurrence I've noticed severally in my career path as a real estate consultant and it's like a bug that won't go away.
It has eaten too deep into the hearts of people, it's really so pathetic.

Now straight to the point.
I've noticed severally and on many occasions the fradulent attitude of Nigerians towards their relatives based overseers.
This needs to stop!

We all know that this money isn't easy to get.
Pity the way your relative abroad has to hustle under harsh conditions to make money and send it back home for projects such as to buy a land or a house in their names so that when they return, they can have a place to call their own and have peace of mind.

Then they transfer the money to their relatives here in Nigeria for this projects and instead of their relatives to help them make this investments here, on most occasions they use the money for their personal gain.

It's really not fair!

This attitude must stop.

I have a client based oversees, he was really interested in buying a landed property from my firm.
His brother is based in Lagos so he sent his brother for inspection and I took his brother to the site.
After seeing the site, they sent him pictures of the place.
He loved the place and sent them money to help close the deal.
You won't believe that instead of paying outrightly for the property his relatives only paid 5% worth of the property to our company account and shared the remaining 95% among themselves.

My client was more than disappointed. I put myself in his shoes and it wasn't funny.

He had to transfer the remaining 95% balance directly to my company account from his base oversees.
Then he told his folks to come to my office to pick up his documents and send it to him through DHL.

Now, whenever he wants to acquire a property, he doesn't pay money through his relatives anymore.
He pays directly to company account and then ask his folks to come and pick up the documents.


This kind of relatives is exactly what hinders most Nigerians based overseas from investing at home.
Not all relatives behaves like this though, but the ones that act like this should stop it with immediate effect.

Let's be our brothers keepers .....what goes around surely comes around.

Don't let bad relatives stop you from investing at home.
There must always be a way.

It pays to invest in properties.

BecomeALandLord:
Invest in properties

Why don't you guys find a way to safe guard the documents on behalf of your clients or send it directly to the client via dhl?

What if these same relatives now decide to sell of the property with the documents they have in hand?

Personally I would never be able to trust such people ever again angry

Nigerians are the problem with Nigeria. SMH.

This selfish, demanding, entitled attitude that most Nigerians as a people have towards more-established, financially-strong relatives also reflects in our leaders.

Shameful!

Enemies within are always the worst form of enemies. Maintain a confidential close relationship with a self-centered, greedy or covetous person at your own peril - attributes of opportunism personifies. Opportunism is evil. It's quite unfortunate that small-minded people do fail to understand that there's a difference between opportunity and opportunism, see them on this thread chorusing "Opportunity knocks only once." SMH.
