Wetin you know wey you dey talk. Oyinbo confuse you with the term “ownership” and you dey here dey speak English. I no dey to argue, if you no understand wetin I write go learn on your own.

What does making “the mortgage holder rich” (or poor) have to do with real property ownership, akowe?

Perceived ownership (dem allow you live for house wey you [[/i]i]dey pay for) and Real ownership (person wey actually get the house) are two different things.

Person name wey dey deed na im get house. You own the loan, bank own the house. Dem no dey drive home owner commot from his house. (as long as you pay taxes and association fees, if any)

When you pay off your mortgage or car then deed change to your name, until then na bank property wey dem de allow you use until you pay finish. Do mistake no pay, you go find out the true owner when dem tow your car or throwaway your load.

Wetin dey vex person pass na mumu Nigerians wey go dey try to shame other Nigerians - lack of financial education? No be your fault. Ode oshi.

NaijaReppin:
Congrats to the young man.

“Be careful what you wish for” na the life lesson for Naija ppl. All this “bring comparable mortgage deals” to Naija, it’s not as exciting as una dey think sey e be.

Na bank own house o, no joint ownership. If you never pay money finish, na bank get house. They no de argue that one, the deed of the house na bank name dey there.

If you miss enough payment, dem go drive you from house, that one na simple.

Foreclosed houses no dey mostly sell market rate, majority are priced to sell quick. The bank first objective na to recoup the outstanding loan balance, if balance remain then they go send check to the person wey been collect the initial loan. Then TAXES go slash most of that money. You go surprise.

The guy try as e take qualify (credit worthiness) for house and car under 3yrs, that one no easy. But now, nothing can go wrong. Responsibility don mature.

Mortgage loan na to owe Bank for 30yrs (unless you take shorter loan terms or pay am off quicker) plus every repair, insurance and taxes na your head e dey.

Plus car loan na around 7yrs (unless you pay am off sooner) + insurance + any repair

While for Naija, once you don build house na you get house. Once you buy motor, na you get motor. If your money no reach, you continue to plan but you no owe anybody father. Una dey underrate the peace of mind

People wey don already get house for Naija wey de go sell am to travel, or ppl wey dey collect better salary (1m, 2m, 3m a month) only to quit job to travel, na those ppl I dey fear but again you take your own risk.

Una never know thief or 419 until you reach that abroad wey you dey find. Because na broad day light, for your face dem go dey collect your money, dem no send anybody father.

U cannot sell d house till u complete d mortgage payment in 15 or watever yrs.Therefore ,its not yet ur house.

studyless123:
You're trying so hard to explain what's irrelevant.
bdon123 stated a fact and you went off-topic.
The individual doesn't own the house, the house can be foreclosed or repossessed if he doesn't meet the terms of the mortgage.
Such credit facilities are not available to most Nigerians so many of us would think it was bought outright.
It's true that he's a home owner but incorrect to state that he's a landlord.
We should be transparent with our achievements.

The IHS and the visa ..is it on the same step or one comes before the other ..Also do you mean i would have upload all my necessary documents too before getting to the payment part ?

nlenq:

He has debt. He did not pay cash for that car or the house. He will spend the next three decades paying for that house and the next four years paying for that car.

I 💯 support a reform. I've stated a few times that many universities are operating as business centres, focused on making as much profit as possible, chancellors getting paid handsome sums, while the market value of many of their degrees is not worth the student debt incurred.

On LBC yesterday, a number of young graduates called in to share their experiences post graduation. Many have struggled to find a decent job despite getting good grades. Some lamented that they had been sold a lie and if they had known better they would have made different choices such as a degree apprenticeship or skipping university altogether and going straight into work/business.

Many universities need to become more competitive to attract both home and international students. Unfortunately some will have to downsize (tbh a number of universities over-expanded in the boom period post COVID),or even close down, if they are not able to survive without the over reliance on immigration from India and Nigeria. Reality is with the current exchange rates, they would struggle to recruit enough students from both countries unless they offer huge discounts.
Many businesses are unfortunately having to make significant adjustments in the recent downturn, I think some universities will have to do the same .

babajeje123:
That course closure is real. Wify couldn't do her Msc Financial Mathematics at Middlesex, she was advised to do Data Science which we declined.

Lexusgs430:
This issue is going to get worse....... You can only increase the fees, so much..... Before it starts becoming unreasonable/home students refuse to be extorted......

I have attended 4 graduation ceremonies, in the last week..... I would tell you, 95% of the names called were Nigerian names........ 😁

Some universities, would be going bust...... 🤣

I don't know if I'm getting the IHS calculation right. My course is for 13 months. I calculated my IHS as follows;

IHS - (776+388)£ = 1164£
Is this the right way to go about it?

Zahra29:
Lol I'm breathing great. Unlike some,I was bracing myself for Trump 2.0 so I'm not shocked at all.

On a serious note, Trump's new border tsar sounds ruthless, Elon and Vivek are going to make sweeping cuts to their civil service, Obamacare might not survive or might get slashed to bare bone, tariffs might end up pushing prices of consumer goods sky high while the rich get even richer, and the country is likely to become even more divided. I'm thankful as always that I don't live in the US.

missjekyll:
Oh my God.

Matt Gaetz to be attorney General of the United States.

Am I f***ing dreaming?!

EGBAMI O! ANWUOLA MU O! Jesus I thank you that I chose the UK all those years ago. It was a toss up and I nearly chose the US but I changed my mind. Thank the Universe for me Ooooo!

There is a chance that "friend" is him

YoungBTCxchange:
a friend of my migrated to Canada to study earlier this year I think march or so, he spent 8m on process the visa, then with the help of one bank manager here he was able to generate POF in his account. Then when he was leaving he was holding $3k cash because you know that is a must, you be holding physical cash .
The school the agent applied was the one that you will need to get admission before paying anything, you should understand what im saying

YoungBTCxchange:
wtf are you saying the guy has been doing some underground savings, do you know how many years he has been saving up money.
Have you sent someone abroad before, don't let all this nairalander who have not been to embassy be calling anyhow amount for you

Taku555:
Don't discourage him, the wife can't be studying alone na, she must look for a part-time job to support her husband. I would advise her to leave the child back in Nigeria first. Good luck!

Stonebeans:
Good evening guys. I was directed to a University Agent for my Admission application and while asking for required fees I need to put in place against January, he sent me this.

I saw IHS + Visa fee ($2800) for a One year Msc and I feel this might be outrageous.

Who has an Idea of what should be the right figure or is he correct? I'm going for 1yr Msc Public Health. Thanks guy. I will appreciate any useful information on this.

IbeOkehie:
That's an interesting opinion. Why? What factors are you putting into consideration?

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Zico5:
5 to 10 millions a month ke. If you don't know what to say, why can't u remain silent. How many Nigerians are making such amount monthly before moving out. He can obtain loan from bank with that salary. GTB will borrow him money needed to fund the traveling with little interest while he return the money monthly back.

AgentXxx:
Lol if you are dead serious, you know what to do? Vasectomy 😋

Zahra29:
Genuinely curious which black American politicians you are referring to here lol.
I'm not an advocate of politics of division and I agree with the circumspect and diplomatic approach that you referenced. But does that mean that she cannot air her views or give a candid response when asked? Because she is of Nigerian origin, is she expected to only say nice things about Nigeria when there is a myriad of problems that are glaringly obvious?

I think her delivery can be improved but unless the content is untrue, she shouldn't draw such ire.

castins:
I currently work with a multinational company here in Nigeria, I have a son and my wife to take care of.

My wife is a registered nurse.

I want her to travel abroad for further studies, I have some savings already. And I eat. #1.5 m+ monthly.

Please can you suggest best countries she can go for studies and also with prospects of getting permanent residency soonest.

Lexusgs430:
Secretly do a vasectomy........ Or else..... 😂😁

deept:
We need to start planning for retirement instead of contributing money to nurseries up and down the country. Me too want to buy Tesla shares and put money 🤑 in ISA
