Why buy a land when you need a car to move around on a day to day basis?

Actually, it depends on how much money you have, where you want to buy the land, and the type of car you have in mind, they are two different things and each with reasons or motives for buying, which ever comes first is not an issue.

My advise:

I found my self in the same postion  about 7 years ago. I am based in the UK and I need to start business in Nigeria.
Lesson number 1: Nigerian are people that have all sorts of ideas and advise, but everyone thinks about how to steal your money so be careful.

Lesson 2: Nigerian staff are very lazy. I suggest don't do a business that you have to hire Nigerians they will frustrate you.


Lesson 3: Nigeria is full of get rich quick lies. So be careful.

Lesson 4: Never do a business that requires PoWER. Nigeria is in Darkness. Most business spend all their profits on Deisel for Generator.

Lesson 5: Never do a business that requires you to move goods from one location to the other. The authorities will frustrate your efforts as they want to be settled everytime. e.g POLICE

lesson 6: There is something they call Nigeria factor: What this means is that, be prepared to lose all that money, make sure it is cash your life does not depend on. Why did I say that? No standards in the country, there are a lot of  disorderliness, A lot of people use their creativity to tell you why things don't work ,  and don't forget NO GOVERNMENT SUPPORT. Insurance in the country is a taboo,

My advise: Put that money in real estate and continue with what ever you are doing. Add more investment properties as you can along the way,

So take care and Good Luck.

The listed reasons or points can not particualrly be peculiar to everyone or to all businesses.

Real Estate business is hard to start with 10million naira- only if you are targeting very remote parts of Nigeria.

It is realy a tough decision to take, but, I am sure, you can start some other busineses without even investing that much money, watch it grow and invest more into it along the way. If we know where your expertise is, or what profession you are into, we can also advice.

All they seem to be after is the money and the trappings of a good time that follows with such wealth, but how can true love be successfully found amidst these fading hoolabaloo of wealth and affluence? Good advice needed.
