You can always buy land and properties.
Lands tend to appreciate well over time.
Properties will be in case you may need some loans in future. The rent will only be good for 2 years. After 2 years, come see tenants' wahala. Give it to a lawyer or property manager, that one na another drain pipe. Go to court, your wahala don double.
Once you have your kids abroad, don't entertain the idea say dem go ever move back to Nigeria. If naija too sweet, why you comot?

Even as an adult, if u enter naija na to dey ppray well make accident no jam u. Every hospital go deny assistance till you psy snd produce police report. What sane person will expose themselves to such unnecessary danger?

People die everywhere in the world, but in Nigeria it is "guaranteed" which is why people live by the day. If in doubt, try selling life insurance in Nigeria.

If u live in UK or USA, think of all d ppl wey build mansions in Nigeria thinking say na to retire and enjoy. They stay in the mansion wetin no reach 2 months in a year or two. Next time wey dem go retire for that mansion na for inside casket. Their children cannot go to naija to drag properties with covetous uncles and aunties.

Hahaha

Our former landlady in benin has about 4 buildings in benin there.

She moved back home In 2005 and none of the children has ever visited. She wont even let them for fear of kidnappings, arm robbery , accidents etc. They don't even know where the properties are.

It just makes me wonder is it worth all the wahala?

Congrats bro.

Welcome to the "choice club"

Invest where you live. The ones in Nigeria will continue to entice you to come snd invest in Nigeria because they stand to gain from it. Otherwise they will not bother you. As for your kids, take them to Nigeria 10x in a year, it will still not make them move to Nigeria. Some of us that grew up a little bit in Nigeria can hardly stand Nigeria talk of full bred nominal Nigerians.
You investment will be more secured outside Nigeria. I have tried both worlds and I still better knowing that I have more control over what is not in Nigeria. Outside the country, I only worry about taxation. In Nigeria, you worry about NEPA, relations, witches and wizards, envy, scsmmers, local authorities, etc. Wahala too much.
Your house may be in Nigeria but Nigeria is not a home.

Dats wat am leaning towards now.

Those pple don almost chop me dry.

But oyinbo wahala too much. Dem go questions every single pound in ur acct. And if for any reason u enter trouble all will be confiscated.

If u owe for any reason they will search and find all ur properties.

E be like say I go jeje use my money wear designers o

I don tire.

AreaFada2:
Na common worry o, the thing be to take them kids home as often as possible.
But years from now when bone don drink oil (By God's grace), this cold nor go good for body again.
So na to go home someday. The kids can manage here, na their cont3.

But I get your point. How much can you trust people to run things for you??

I just lost a relative here some weeks back. Na so him people for 9ja use am wipe floor. All his money wasted.
Now he dey plan to go home see for himself, he just died. Where the attack come from, only God knows.

After they chop ur money, u go dey fear to even ask.

May God protect us and bless our hustle

Amen o

maylisa:
I will be travelling on d 12 of February.

babe, stay near airport till the election is over o

AreaFada2:
Na wa o. Na the best thing you dey go do. Real estate never disappoints. Nor give up on investment ma.

All of us have lost huge amounts doing business back home. Unfortunately. I'm now considering farming. At least I can go home at harvest time.

Even if it turns out there's no profit, the farmland will be an asset.
Imagine you rented the bakery building?

u see eh,

am torn between uk n naija for investment.

atleast, uk own i go dey see am.

naija own pple just dey use me better demselves.

i doubt if my kids will ever go home or know the value of these properties.

maternal:
In Vancouver it's 9 degrees now in the dead of winter. Other places like 2 degrees. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Not to mention there's 6 months of actually summer oppose to that horrible rain and muggy weather. Where you get old ancient cities, with people packed together like stock fish, living in tiny crumbling homes, driving small cars aki and powpow are too big to drive. Then add in the insane taxes, chei.

dats not bad ooo

my only problem wit uk machester is the rain, rain and rain.

its always wet, damnnnnn , but i can be very romantic sha.

u just cover up wit blankets, cuddle up and listen to the rain fall

as for the houses, na according to ur pocket, there are big houses and small houses.

oh , how is the nigerian community social life in vancouver? as how many owambe i fit go within 3mths?

SkinnyDude:

Dats how it shud be.

call4shola:
hello nairalanders. I have been married for almost 3 years now. I noticed my wife never comes for it. I always do the asking especially affter our 1st child arrived. even when I come asking she forms tiredness although she enjoys the act but she never asks. I decided not to touch her in the last 2 weeks and shes not bothered. nw we just talk very formal and intimacy is out of the calculation cos I dont ask for it. I dont want to shoot outside my marriage but shes not helping maters. pls I need matured and honest advise. thanx...

so its hard work for u to ask your wife for s.ex,

na wa ooo

if she refuses its a different case.

some women were brought up in certain ways, and they find it difficult to
deviate frm dat.

ask and it shall be given

wait o

is ur real name peter? i dey suspect this poster oo

knightsTempler:
Calabar people are civilize if it were other areas in Nigeria, they would have carried out jungle justice on him.

Everyday for the thief....you know the rest.

and calabar looks very clean,

pls can any one tell me more about it.

it the kind of place i would like to call home.

hmmmm

wat a country

Price ?

Originalsly:
Very nice and interesting picture journal. Why MMW looked so dark?...blackout? I'm surprised to see you cooking chicken when you first arrived....you should've been tired of that and be drooling for some fresh local stuff like ehmmm.... bush meat!

ehmmmm ..... u mean Ebola?

dont know wen i can do dis.

2017 xmas maybe

Lexusgs430:
Do you have baby pictures, list of nurseries or schools attended, certificates from schools (all UK documentations)?
Details and certificates of your parents stay in the UK ?
If you don't, it's going to be more complicated than you think.
No point applying for a UK visa, if you are genuinely a British Subject.
Go and do some digging, and get as much documents as possible of your life, while in the UK.
[/b]NB: Hopefully, no one has impersonated in the UK and collected a British passport with your details !!! (If they have, this case just got very very very complicated).

Exactly wat happened to my niece,

she only found out when she was in her twenties and was trying to relocate frm naija to uk.

aariwa:
@justwise i am talking about myself and not you or Nigeria.I can only pray for my friends and relatives,if you like pray for nigeria thats your cup of tea.I stay @both Anambra and Akwa Ibom and both places are safe.Before my call to bar i had wanted to migrate to AMERICA thinking life was easier there but now i know better.Check my posts and you will find out that i am not only into litigation but property sales and management.Last week we sold a property @Akaa road Uyo for a client and the money i added to the purchase +my commission was close to 17M.What kind of legitimate business can pay you that kind of money in U.K or U.S cos i know that most of us there did not travel for tourism sake.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

zeezahbee:
I have been experiencing it, some of my friends just stop chatting with me , some agreed giving me attitude but I got new friends I don't care

good girl, live ur life for u.

StealthyMe:
I don't think that mentality would change anytime soon
Majority have this notion of the US or London being a sort of paradise

its a recent trend,

they want to put u down to make themselves feel better.

but offer them a route to dat country and they will jump at it

dat road name na wa

its one or the other
