BENEFITS OF OWNING LANDED PROPERTY.

It's very obvious that the year is fast running and it would be good to stop procrastinating but start implementing your plans for a better 2026 from now.

Are you planning to relocate to Canada, U.K New Zealand, Australia or any other developed nation of the world either or study, work or tourism and you have landed properties to buttress your economic status and strong tie to your home country?

It is no gainsay that everyone needs an oasis of peace and comfort in a safe haven like Canada, U.K, U.S and the rest of the developed world to enjoy comforts of world-class healthcare, international education, world-class leisure and more.

Without mincing words, many visa applicants do believe that "fat" bank statement is the paramount document they need to secure a visa approval forgetting that proof of good economic status in the applicant home country is also paramount.

Though, it's good to have good financial banking status. However, strong economic home tie is one of the major key factor often considered by visa issuing officers most especially for non-immigrant visa applicants like visit, study, medical and so on. The visa officers are more concerned about the economic tie cum status of an applicant to his/her home country, a kind of strong home ties that'll pull him/her back after the tenure of visit or study visa granted.

Secuing visa approval to these developed countries mentioned above often times is not a fluke as applicants would need to strongly proof to the visa issuing officer evidences of home ties that would make the applicant return to his/her home country on or before the expiration of the duration granted the applicant either for tourism, study, medical and other non immigrant visa categories.

Some of the evidences of home tie are marriage certificate, employment letter, certificate of investment, child/children birth certificate, bank statement of account, etc.

Meanwhile, the top secret is the use of valuation report on landed property owned to butress the applicant finacial status and strong tie to the homeland. A valuation report is a document prepared by a firm of registered Estate Surveyors & Valuers showing the current market value in monetary worth of your landed property or rental income accrue to a property owner on yearly basis if it's a rental property and that can also use to butress source of fund on account as the case may be.

Though it is expected that an applicant should have a certain required amount that would cover his/her expenses during the stay, but a valuation report would "tell more" about the economic/financial status of the applicant in his/her home country that could appeal to the visa issuing officer in making a favourable decision about the applicant.

Let's take for example, a single applicant for visit visa to Canada is expected to have a minimum of amount equivalent to CAD10,000 (Ten Thousand Canadian Dollar) and an applicant was able to meet that and also has property or properties worth equivalent of about CAD40,000 (Forty Thousand Canadian Dollars) or more, that tells more that such an applicant is doing well in his/her home country and would likely not be a liability to the visiting country. To be more practical, imagine someone that applied for a study visa has say N45m (to cover tuition fee, living expenses etc) on account in a bank, married with children and has property(ties) worth N65m or more. Don't be surprised such an applicant may be granted visa while someone that has say N100m on account without any proof of asset(s) or strong home tie may be denied. A visa officer would feel more comfortable to grant an applicant with strong home tie on the ground that he/she has investment/asset back home, wife and children that would make him/her to return after the duration granted.

So often times, money in the bank alone might not guarantee you but other support documents like your property/assets valuation report would do the magic.

No doubt you might have documents like purchase receipt, survey plan, deed of assignment or contract of sale on the property but those documents can not give the current market value of the property as land appreciate in value over time. So only valuation report will State the current value. Land you bought five years ago cannot be same value in the present year and possibly you've built on it.

Even for Canada Express Entry applicant, proof of fund is one of the basic requirements for permanent residence applications. Applicants need to provide to Canada Immigration & Citizenship an evidence of enough mandatory funds to support oneself and any accompanying family members when landed in Canada. This is because the government of Canada will not provide any financial support for new immigrants and therefore need to be sure the new immigrant will be able to support him/herself and his/her family members and same goes for study, either in the United Kingdom or Canada.

The amount required depends on the family size and can vary from time to time and for study visa depends on the institution. Meanwhile, at the time of putting in your application you'll need to show that you have at least the required amount. However, you can also submit a document that shows that you have asset that could be liquidated to cash if granted for your application to be processed.

Now you may be wondering what type of funds you can use and what type of proof is required. Well, there are options which we shall quickly dwell on into details:

SAVINGS: If you have savings which is equivalent or exceed the required amount, then your bank statement (not less than 3months) is a good proof of funds and if your money is split between several banks, you'll need to provide details of each to add up to the required amount or exceed if you have it.

REAL ESTATE: This is what many are not aware of that money in property is probably the most widely used proof of funds. It is a known fact that people sell property/ties owned in their home country before landing in canada or relocating to anywhere else and will use the proceed or equity to establish themselves after relocating and if not for permanent residence, it's a kind of high assuring factor that the applicant shall return to his/her home country upon completion of study or visit.

The immigration office appreciate the fact that you may not have sold the property at the point you're required to supply the information/proof and has made allowances for that. Therefore, all you need do is to get a firm of Certified Estate Surveyors and Valuers that is "skilled" in writing this kind of report (cos some basic information that are to be included) to value the property and give a report stating opinion of the current market value of the property , such valuation report MUST be on the firm letter head, duly stamped, sealed and signed. The immigration body can then see how much equity you have on the valuation report.

If the property is on mortgage, you'll need to submit a mortgage statement from your lender showing how much money is owned on the property, then you submit a valuation report along with it to be able to see how much equity available to you on the property. It is assumed that the property would have been sold and the money in your account before landing or relocating finally.

Meanwhile, if the property is an investment property, a rental valuation report can be submitted along with your application to proof/buttress your additional source of income. Therefore, a valuation report is not just a document but a very useful one that could facilitate your visa approval.

Married man get levels

There are big married men and there are ordinary married men. You can't ask Ned Nwoko to pack the plates, can you?

Beremx:
It depends on when the food was served. If the wife serves him, she should be the one or the kids to take the plates to the kitchen. If he eats in her absence, well he or the kids should take the plates to the kitchen.

My son takes his father's plates to the kitchen if I'm not readily available. Sometimes he does it himself.

I got a training opportunity with an oil and gas firm in Lagos sometime in 2019. I resigned my job in Abuja and moved to Lagos.

Our office was in Ajah. So I got a place around Lakowe. One weekend I decided to check up on my cousin staying at Alapere. I spent the weekend at her place and headed back to Ajah on Monday around 2pm.

We got to the Landmark center axis around 3pm or so.. There was a crazy gridlock on that Lekki-Epe expressway.

I sat down at the back and held on to my bag firmly. Three hours later, we didn't move 300 meters. Passengers kept dropping one after the other, I thought they had either gotten to their bus stop or maybe were hanging around for the traffic to ease.

6pm or so we were around Jakande.. I noticed an exodus of people trekking... and almost all the buses were empty, while others were looking for the easiest way to turn back.

That was when it dawned on me that all the people I saw walking by were actually passengers that alighted from buses and were trekking back home... Omoh!

I jumped down from the bus, and joined the exodus of people happily cruising their legediz Benz to their respective destinations.

I got to Ajah bridge around 9pm, crossed over and got one Orijin bitters, crossed back and located the nearest transport company.. That was GUO.. I bought a ticket for the first bus heading to Abuja the next day.

That was how I ended my training with the firm.
Lagosians are very patient and resilient people!

Segzy19:
Wealth, prosperity and God's blessings are spread all over, not only in Lagos.

Lagos isn't for the weak... I moved my family out of Lagos after my two-year rent expired in Akoka. We moved to Abeokuta, and rented a three-bedroom flat for #240,000 naira per year for 5 years. Compound was large, gated, enough parking space, each flat with its own water storage tank with central borehole. I paid #650k per year in Lagos without these amenities like in Abeokuta.

After 5 years I moved into my own 6-bedroom apartment in a GRA in Abeokuta. My wife got a government job, and she easily does her side-gig which earns her extra. Of course, I had other enablers that I wouldn't have in Lagos cos I'm from Abeokuta. Children's school fees are not crazy like you have in Lagos. No traffic! No agbero wahala... Environment is clean and spacious...

I still work in Lagos anyway but I come home every weekend. I am lucky to find a place to stay for free in Lagos. For me, Lagos is the worksite while Abeokuta is home where I retire to by the weekend to rest, relax, breathe fresh air and eat fresh food...

I have a big compound to plant stuffs and feed my family. My children are growing in the right way, and not the insanity and insecurity that pervades Lagos...

Lagos is artificial....

I hope someone will learn from my experience, and adapt it to what suits him or her.

There is prosperity all over o. Find out what works for you and start now... No die for Lagos... There are abokis up north who are illiterate and will never have anything to do with Lagos. Yet they are super-millionaires... They do and grow their businesses up there in the north...

Even abroad, it's the same story with those who want to die in London instead of moving to other cities where they can live their lives in peace and balance

mercysamuelson:
I was born and bred in Lagos where I lived for more than 30 years in Nigeria. My everything was in Lagos to the extent that even when I traveled to other states in Nigeria, they are never enough for me. But in Lagos, it's all a comfortable zone for me. And now, I realize that living in Lagos had really helped me to prepare myself for the task ahead to being able to live here in Los Angeles. Almost same way of life. Here is just like living in Lagos.

🚐 Option 1: Buy a Mini Bus and Drive
Pros:

Daily/weekly income stream.

Potentially higher return than passive investments if you manage it well.

You have more control.

Cons:

High operational risk: repairs, fuel, accidents, inconsistent revenue.

Time and energy required if you’re the driver.

Regulatory/ticketing issues in some areas.

Depreciating asset.

Recommended only if:

You have solid knowledge of the transport business.

You’ve done cost vs. income analysis (e.g. average daily earnings minus fuel/maintenance).

You’re ready for active management (or have a trusted driver with accountability).

📈 Option 2: Treasury Bills
Pros:

Very safe (government-backed).

Fixed, guaranteed return.

Great for capital preservation.

Short-term options (e.g. 91, 182, 364 days).

Cons:

Low return (typically around 10–13% annually).

No early access without penalties.

Doesn't beat inflation significantly.

Recommended if:

You want zero risk.

You’re saving for a near-term goal.

You’re okay with modest returns and just want your money safe.

💼 Option 3: Mutual Funds
Pros:

Better potential returns than T-bills (especially equity/balanced funds).

Diversified portfolio (bonds, stocks, etc.).

Managed by professionals.

Liquidity (can cash out with little delay).

Cons:

Moderate risk (market fluctuations).

Returns not guaranteed (depends on fund type).

Recommended if:

You want a balance between safety and growth.

You're okay with medium risk and don’t need daily cash flow.

You’re looking to grow your money over time.

🚨 Final Advice (based on your tone and urgency):
If you urgently need income and have business experience, the mini bus could work—but only with a clear plan and backup savings for risk.

If you're not sure, go with a split strategy:
₦2M in Treasury bills or mutual funds (safety/growth)
₦2M saved while you research/test the bus idea or another business

Never tie up 100% of your funds in one risky venture without backup.

It's wrong to frame comfort's behaviour as unruly. That's the narrative which the airline has tricked your minds to believe.

She acted in self defence due to extreme provocation and that's not what it means to be unruly.

She fought against the injustice that was meted to her by the airline staff. She wasn't guilty of what she was accused and that was why NBA has come out to condemn how she was manhandled which made her to fight back.

triplechoice:
You certainly don't know what you're saying.

Where is the evidence she acted unruly and disrupt flight before take off?

Can you provide that?

According to you she caused disruption of flight, yet she wasn't deboarded in Uyo and arrested like Kwam,but flown to Lagos for arrest. Why should this make sense to any reasonable person is what I don't understand?

Are there no airport security and policemen in Uyo?

My friend, it's really unfortunate how most of have swallowed without questioning the heavily distorted order of event presented by the airline to support their maltreatment and humiliation of a regular customer.

Ibom air has succeeded in tricking your minds to believe that it' was immediately after she was asked to turn off her phone she started insulting and slapping the air hostess .

Ask them to release all the footage, especially the ones in Uyo so the public know the truth .

You're defending nonsense and oppression .

Modified. The reason I believe the airport security were slow in responding was obviously because the pilot wasn't in the know of what was to happen. It was the rude and power drunk air hostess who wanted to engineer her arrest after landing.

I know this to be true because I worked in the industry before. If the pilot wanted to arrest her or was the person who called for her arrest,he would have done so professionally by informing the control tower in MMA as the approached Lagos airspace of the presence of an unruly that must be evacuated immediately from the plane. If he made the call the incident we watched wouldn't have occured.

The control tower would have immediately contacted airport security and the police alerting them of the situation so that they position themselves at strategic positions, the tarmac especially, the arrival hall and the car parking space in case somebody was waiting to pick her.

But none of this was done and the result was the ugly incident we all watched that unfolded at the airport.
Please you people should stop arguing what you're not too well informed in. The pilot couldn't have directed that can of sloppy and unprofessional arrest of an unruly passenger. No way.
