You guys just misconstrued what I posted. I know a man that built his own house while building for his brother who lives in the U.S... That's pure wisdom. Abi d guy come abj come count bridge? He grabbed d opportunity. Afterall, he wouldn't own his own house if he had decided to be the honest sibling and not do anything for himself... At d end of the day, they are both happy.

I was wondering too, why can't they DHL it themselves instead of giving to the relatives one day they will just
collect the docs and resale.


For sure we can send the document to him directly to his base oversees.
But he requested his brother come to our office to pick it up and send to him.

Maybe to prove a point to him or something.

Well, that's basically up to him.

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

The bolded is my exact thoughts, nothing stops those "souls" from frustrating your clients efforts and rendering him homeless. Besides, they can use the threats of selling the properties to extort money from him.

Don't rush stop show off keep your money in your account when you get home you have e slot of time to build your house yourself. Why hurry to build a house you are not going to be living in till 4/5 years time. Why do Nigerians treat money like it is going to disappear the next minute. Things have changed keep your money in your account .most people that fall victim to these are those people that want to show off.

Most times these abroad based people can be very self centered. They expect you to put your all into their investments like they own you, forgetting you too are not jobless. Like who does that after putting myself in a very tight corner just because I want to help and at the end there is nothing to show for it so the next time you have the opportunity deal with them like there is no tomorrow. Just because they gave you change to help them acquire one useless property they start acting like they own you.

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.



Not a problem.

That's why they invented Glock 19.

Great write up. I think there are more relatives guilty of this in Nigeria than not. In many cases the driving force is western material goods and/or laziness to hustle. Laziness and rent-seeking mentality is endemic.

Whilst I don't believe in karma, these family members are playing themselves in the long-run. The strong irony is that many will ask "oh naija which way o, which way", not realising that they're a part of the problem.

Most people are not saying you shouldn't make little profit for your time
The issue is most of this people are making 100%
If i say going buy me 100,000.00 iron, get 10k
If a parapet is going to cost me 650k, you can make your 50K
Greed Nigerians family want 100%
Eg one other of my brother set 1880 blocks told me it was 22 bags of cements, OK but i know it should be about 19 bags of cements
Few month later we set other 1850 blocks dude was now telling me he use 28 bags of cements
I told him let me look at my book, I said we used 22 bags before why 28 bags now.
It rained----Really dude

That goes a long way to tell you why the story may not be true, losing the money to the relatives and losing documents to same, it's almost the same kinda loss. In fact it's even worse losing the documents. If he trusts you enough to send the money straight, he also trusts you to scan, DHL, usps, whatever etc the thingummy documents to him...

Better and reliable remedy to all these issues is to transact directly with reputable real estate companies.

You may still assign either friend or relative to do the inspection on your behalf, but once that is ascertain, pay directly into the company account.

How do you do that?

We're reliable real estate consultants, we deliver effective and efficient services to all our clients home and abroad.

For enquiries and inspection: 08062342001

so they should trust you instead of their family.

Quick advise for anyone. Use a lawyer. A lawyer can hardly ever run with your money. A father or brother will wack it and your family members will be begging you.

lol. lawyer can wack it too. unless you have someone trusted with integrity or you come around yourself, you can be duped.

Hello sir
We suggest same to him.

But customers always are right.
For reasons best known to him, he still sent his brother to come pick up his papers to send for him through a courier company.

Maybe he did that to prove a point to his brother.
That's basically up to him.

But he has since confirmed receiving his documentation for the property.

Thank u sir for your comment.
