Hello Nlander's! As you may know, we run a wholesale warehouse in Nigeria, and even though we are not car dealers, we never turn down a good business opportunity
A client (CEO of a major corporate client headquartered in Lagos) asked if we could source him a vehicle, and we smiled and said "of course, Sir!". Submitted an invoice, money transferred to our account, and a few days later, VOILA!, car is sourced and about to ship! Oga is saving over N2M compared to local dealer prices!! This is one of those rare instances where integrity pays off in Nigeria.

Hoodrat: Is this the same lagos where the government encourage the populace on the use of bicycle? Well until the insecurity issue are tackled and CCTV camera are erected on every nukes and craney I won't support the ideas because is absolutely nonesense in a country where there's no electricity and security. It is really sad how bad some nigerians can be which remind me of the robbery incident at okene-abuja road where our luxury driver was shut by the aggressive armed robbers and we were all flogged with koboko after taken away all we had on us.

There are no "nukes and craneys" in Lagos, Sir.

mekaboy: ENOUGH PROBLEMS THAT HE WILL PREFER ARMED ROBBERS TO SHOOT HIM AND END HIS SUFFERING ? HE SHOULD BE REGRETTING THAT THE ARMED MEN DID NOT KILL HIM AS HE WISHED.

WHEN HE SAID HIS WHOLE FAMILY GATHERED, PLEASE WHICH OF THE FAMILY? YOUR DAD, MUM, BROTHERS AND SISTERS OR WIFE AND CHILDREN.

Dude, you ask questions worthy only of an uneducated aboki.

^^
So to your limited understanding, Mekaboy, the fact that he lives in VI and drives a large SUV means that he is problem free? Clearly you have watched one too many movies. Those of us who live in the real world know that EVERYONE has problems and frustrations, and it is all relative. Meaning? The bigger your car and house, the bigger your problems.

Why did I ask about the lady friend who was dropped off?

It occurred to me that if DeepSight were a woman, she would have been raped by all 10 of those guys, probably some more than once! This is the thing with rapists, its not really about the sex, its about control and dominance. To DeepSight the man, control was to subject him to terror and the humiliation of helplessness, with a woman, control would have been quite simply sexual assault. Lessons for us all.

Ladies, I beg, sofly waka oh.

Toks2008: I hope he has has a mansion in Heaven because that is what counts the most. Earthly possessions are good but are mare vanities.

Vanity? To invest na vanity again? Does the Holy Bible not urge us to go out and possess our possessions?

fittty: Who d f*ck is 2face. Birdman baby bought a buggatti for $8millie.

1. What Bugatti costs $8M?
2. So Birdman is driving a million dollar depreciable asset, and Tuface makes an investment with income and appreciation potential. Who is smarter?

@ OP -
Quite an experience, glad you are alive to tell the tale.
I am curious, what happened to your friend, the lady you dropped off at the estate? Was her house also attacked? Did they take you along with them to her house also?

In the US, especially down South, flashing headlights from folks coming in the opposite direction usually means "better slow the heck down, there's a cop up ahead!!".

Sagewood - Nigeria is far better (especially Abuja) to invest in terms of real estate/ property than in the USA or Europe.

Your opinion, Sir, and I am respectful enough not to challenge peoples opinions. Note however, that I never said investments in Nigeria were a bad idea. I have maintained the same consistent opinion - given the high cost of entry into the Nigerian real estate market (and the other barriers such as sub-par quality, property disputes etc,), it makes more sense to me to invest my limited funds elsewhere. Given the high cost of property, $300,000 will not buy me my desired home in Nigeria. I would need more like $1,000,000, which I do not have, nor would I wish to spend on just 1 home here. With $300,000 in Nigeria I could become a land speculator, but have no desire for that either, as it brings me no immediate stream of income. However, with $300,000 I can invest in several properties elsewhere, using relatively stable income from those investments to pay for a rental in Nigeria. Thats my opinion, and the formula works for me.

^^
Sir, you say in one voice it is not possible, then contradict yourself by giving exceptions. I think you answered your own question in your 2nd paragraph.
It is possible - whether foreclosures, whether fixer-uppers, whether fire sales it is possible! It is also possible to get a minimum of $500 per month in rent. Even if you give it out to Section 8 public housing beneficiaries, the minimum the US Govt. will pay for a good family house is $450 / $600 in many areas.

How do I know this? I am in fact, a Georgia State Licensed Real Estate Agent, a licensed Attorney and an investor in the US and Africa. However, I am NOT selling my services, so dont take my word for it, go to any licensed agents website. Google "Georgia real estate agent", you will get those telephone numbers for yourself. The big guys - Metrobrokers, Harry Norman, Remax, Prudential, Coldwell Banker etc., and the little guys Duffy, Homestar etc. Call them up and ask for an investment specialist. By the way, You say you are an investor in the US? Why do I need to give you numbers? Call up your own agent.

Reality check - I am not trying to prove a point, I just take exception to voodoo economics. So challenge me if you will on facts, but not on my opinions. Invest wherever you please, may the forces back you up!

There are certain decisions in ones life that should never be opened to the gallery, and this is one of them.
Marriage is a serious matter, and with a 50% (or higher) failure rate, do it only when you are absolutely certain you are ready.

^^
Argue all you want, Chanceman, but your math still does not add up! Dont try to cloud issues with your warped economic analysis.
It is a simple matter of 1. initial investment, 2. income derived, and 2. Exit price.
1. Initial investment is lower in most other parts of the world, for significantly better quality finished product;
2. Income derived for your initial investment is higher as shown in the options I laid out in the previous scenario planning; and
3. Exit price may fluctuate with the economy, but in most cases will rebound, especially in an organized market.

Chanceman, you take your $30K and buy a house in Lagos or Abuja, and invite us to the opening ceremony, yes? Leave all of us stupid, unpatriotic folks to invest as we choose.

^^ The problem with folks like you, Chanceman, is that you remain stubborn even in your abject ignorance!

CHANCEMAN -So your option b houses have no maintenance cost , insurance,taxes?

If you read my option B above, I clearly stated

...deriving income for the next 30 years, use a small portion of income to pay for insurance, taxes, repairs and maintenance...

Dude, do you read at all? Or you just jump in head first to make your highly illogical points?

CHANCEMAN -so average cost of the properties will be 30k dollars each?put the same amount in real estate in Lagos or Abuja and wait for 30 years ROI and capital apreciation will still be higher in the naija market.

Again, the point flies right above your head - THERE IS NOTHING WORTHWHILE FOR SALE IN LAGOS OR ABUJA FOR $30K!!! Have you been paying attention, Sir? Property in Nigeria is still enjoying bubble prices. $30K is N4,800,000, what does that get you?? I could buy land in Ogombo, and still not have a home. I could go to Owode, Egbeda, Agbara etc, and hope for yet another badly built house, but with due respect to those who live there, I have absolutely no interest in those areas. Okay, assuming I were interested in Egbeda, how much rent would one get from property there? N400,000? So annual income from this $30K investment in Egbeda would be $2,500 as opposed to $6000 from some location outside Nigeria, such as my Atlanta example?

My friend it is not about quality of building rather location and demand.

My friend, it IS all about quality! The original question was "why do Nigerian returnees chose to remain tenants?", my answer as such a returnee is that it is all about the quality or the lack thereof. You Sir, can focus on whatever voodoo mathematics you want to, to try to convince yourself that you get a higher ROI off your investments in Nigeria, I on the other hand, will focus on that which is tangible and real - solid income in dollar, Euro, GBP bills, with solid ROI based on solid economics!

CHANCEMAN -So please broaden your horizon and do not display your ignorance here becos something is in the USA does not automatically make it better than what is available in Nigeria.

I have stated over and over, that this is not about the USA. I simply used Atlanta as an example. It could be Harare, could be Accra, could be Nairobi. In most other parts of the world, real people pay attention to real math - buy low, sell high.
Clearly you are one of those who think that ignorance and oblivion somehow equate to loyalty and patriotism. Dude, you are not more Nigerian than I am. I am however, a realist, and will acknowledge when things are messed up because I know that recognizing a problem is the first step to a fix.

Why, o why, am I wasting time on you?

Oga Sultaan, you sef!
The guy thought he had a leak in his normal operating a/c, and you think he would know what a cabin air filter is? You no see as Wallie put picture?

Africa is quite possibly the only continent where nobody dies of natural causes - either illness or old age. Everyone here who dies, if you believe the whispers, is killed by someone else's wickedness! Even a person who lives to 120 years old is eventually killed by the evil spirits, or wicked relatives. Makes me wonder - Without all this wickedness, would we all live to 1000 years? Lets find all the wicked and kill them!

We are a nation of wicked heathens!

gabe:

So u believe its okay because u can afford to pay? It didn't occur to your elitist brain cells that the energy used to power our stations have a lower cost than the US and labor costs are also lower here thus we should expect a lower rate than the US? If u like, make a monthly donation from ur big purse to PHCN. The rest of us demand fair billing!

Where in my earlier diatribe did you see me mention that it was okay because I could afford it? Infact, I specifically wrote "..it hurts like hell...", nonetheless, I was simply responding to the OP's question, not attempting to deny others their forum derived rights to speak up, as you seem inclined to do. Also, your math is terribly wrong - cost of power production in Nigeria is significantly HIGHER than the US and other nations. How so? Inefficiencies in market forces, infrastructural challenges, corruption in the system etc., all add up to significant hidden costs. Guess what? Someone ends up paying for this hidden cost anyway, and it ain't GEJ!

My 'elitist brain' is awake. How about yours?

^^ Like I said previously, Chanceman, you clearly do not understand rules of investing, so I am wasting time on you. Have you ever heard of a little thing called Insurance? Yes, that takes care of those fires and earthquakes.

You talk about rate of returns -
1. If the ROI in Nigeria is so high, why is there a glut of badly finished buildings on the market?
2. Since you claim to know so much about ROI - calculate this, and post the results in your reply:

Option A:
Spend N50 million naira ($312,500.00) on 1 badly finished house, live in it with your family, spending upwards of N1M per year fixing plumbing, tiling, foundation and electrical problems, not to mention N1M for generator, diesel, service charges etc etc. No income from the property, except perhaps your rented out boys quarters at N400,000 ($2500) per annum. Your exit strategy may be to sell when value hits $500K, but with the real estate collapse in Nigeria, and flooding and sinking cities, when will that time come?

Option B:
Spend $300,000 buying 8 to 10 houses in some city outside of Nigeria, with solid growth projections, solid industrial economy, good education and a good population (note, this is not about Atlanta?). Derive income of a minimum of $500 per month per unit, for a total of $5000 per month, $60,000 per year (N9,600,000.00). Exit strategy? Buy and hold, deriving income for the next 30 years, use a small portion of income to pay for insurance, taxes, repairs and maintenance, and then pass on portfolio to my descendants.

The cream on the cake: Now, if I so desire, I can take N4M out of the income from my investments, and rent a suitable place in Nigeria, or simply pay for hotels when I am visiting.

Dude, do the math. I think you just got schooled!

Bullcrap!
The SSS story is clearly a very badly concocted spin on what was clearly a terrorist attempt. Rather than lie, come out with a solid set of plans of action to secure our air transport network. Bullcrap.

My advice? Nigerians be vigilant. Terror has arrived in Nigeria, and will only escalate until this impotent govt decides to deal with what they know to be real.
