Investment › Re: Buying Land Or Keeping The Money In Bank by Onkoolos(op): 6:47am On May 31 |
Meerahbel: Investment-wise, I'd ask a few questions before deciding, but based on the numbers alone:
₦545,000 generating ₦7,000/month means about ₦84,000 per year, roughly 15.4% annual return.
That's not a terrible return for money sitting relatively safely in a bank.
For the land to beat that investment, the land would need to appreciate by more than about ₦84,000 per year (plus cover any costs, documentation, transport, fencing, etc.).
The bigger issue is that not all land is an investment. In many parts of Ogun State, people buy land and it sits for 5–10 years with little demand. Meanwhile, some areas around Mowe, Ofada, Shimawa, and the Lagos expansion corridor have appreciated significantly because development moved there.
So the real question is:
1. Is the land genuine? (Survey, title, excision/gazette/C of O status, family ownership issues, etc.) 2. Is there actual development around it? 3. Can you afford to leave the money untouched for several years? 4. Do you have an emergency fund separate from this ₦545k?
If ₦545k is all your savings, I would be cautious about locking everything into land. Land is not liquid. If an emergency comes up next month, you can't sell one corner of the plot to pay hospital bills.
Now for the roasting part: "I know I'm not too smart."
My brother, the people who are not smart are the ones who buy land because the seller said: "Sir, Lagos is moving here."
Then Lagos refuses to move there for 12 years.
You're actually asking the right question: "What is the opportunity cost of taking my money out of an income-generating asset?" Most people don't even think that far.
My practical approach would be:
If the land is in a genuinely developing area and the title checks out, land could outperform the bank return over 5–10 years.
If this is your entire savings, don't empty your account unless you have another emergency buffer.
If possible, keep some cash reserve and use only part of your savings for the land.
One thing I'd like to know: Is the ₦7k monthly return guaranteed interest from the bank, or is it from a fixed deposit/investment product? And what's the exact price and size of the land? Those details would make the comparison much more concrete. 1.There is development around it my brother 2. I can leave the money untouched for 12 years self I have other places i get money 3. The survey and deed of agreement is sure my boss 5. I have an emergency fund boss |

nicodemusic: Well, this is roughly 1.3% of your capital monthly. I suggest you leave the money in the bank and keep adding to it so as to yield more monthly interest for you, and depending on how much you can save, this will just be like a side gig that pays you monthly stipend with your capital still intact. When you have saved enough, you can invest it into something that’s worthwhile. IMHO Okay boss, I respect that |

Romance › Re: What Mumu Thing Have You Ever Done For Love? by Onkoolos: 8:10am On May 24 |
Greenodds: Chai, I learnt the hard way. That year Bro, I was paying my girl friend(fiance) 100k monthly, paid her house rent, bought her generator that can carry her AC and buy fuel every week whenever I bought mine, buy her clothes from time to time. I didn't receive shi shi through out the 2 years we dated. I didn't mind because it was a thing of pride for me to be taking care of my girl and all her needs, only thing this girl ever did for me was on my birthday she threw a surprise party for me and imvited family and friends of which I even footed half of the bill. Now that's on the financial side.
I was so in love with this girl I wasn't using my common sense. If we quarreled she would say she needed space and i wouldn hear from her for like 3 or 4 days. She would tell me I should stop coming to her place unannounced(I no gree for that one sha aa). Some weekends she would say she was going for an all girls indoor party. Some times it would be going to the club and I would even give her my car. Chai love is a mental disorder I swear. I paid for driving school. This girl invested literally zero into the relationship except her time and cooking which she doesn't even do all the time. When my eyes started to open was when her brother wanted to leave the country and this girl gave him 500k. I was shocked and the scale fell off my eyes. Then I had a small financial issue and I wasn't able to foot her bills as I used to, she couldn't bear it and told me she was travelling to another state to go stay with her cousin until I bounce back, when she came back I found sex lube in her bag. That was the final straw for me but I didn't wanna leave the r/ship without a replacement, 70% of the love died and she could sense it, i just couldn't leave because I have invested so much in her. I started a relationship with another girl without her knowing and after a few weeks me and my first girl had a small misunderstanding and as usual she said she needed space. Person wey no know say I don't already move on. After a week she came to make up I no gree I told her make she still dey her space because me I don quit the r/ship. She cried and cried and begged and begged, but it was too late. Your own mumu carry PhD join  |

Fiscus105: Money keeps woman far more than love does!
You think love can replace money? A lady that desperately in need of money, you are singing love in her ear, the melody of your love song will be like WAR songs
Love is good but Money will drive such relationship to beautiful destination. Some of you will learn the hard way. Both work together boss but love is the most important thing. Why is that people that have nothing in those villages still find true love and live happily for years. The problem with some people is that while looking for thier standard they forget the important thing which is love and understanding. They chase the shiny stuff, that is why the rate of divorce is getting high among the rich nowadays. |

One thing I know is that money can never keep a woman, Only love and respect can do.. Learn the game of love and see them falling for you. Dont chase. As for women, be peaceful , respectful and kind you will see your man going craze for you.. That is the secret!!! |
