Omo that your friend get money ooo JESUS!!!

This makes a whole lot of sense.
Instead of buying an over priced property you had get yourself a passport

It is actually cheaper if you are married with kids
A person pays $100k
A family of 4 pays $125k

Wow, this quite interesting. Knowledge is power aswear.

So, one can be in Nigeria, process every every?

The money ur investing, is it dash or u will be getting paid some profit even when ur not physically there?

Abeg, no vex for my many questions.

Thanks.

Yes. That is the whole idea. You can always travel on a whim without worrying about visa rejection.
You are investing as a donation to the government of these countries. There is the option of buying property as an investment too, but I think this option is better if you plan living there.

If you are a freelancer or can work from anywhere in the world, you can live in Europe for 1 year ( You can live visa free in Germany, Spain,Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands etc. for 3 months each)

Worth the investment.

What about the property investment route?

About $450k. If you can afford it,go for it.

What's the hope for the majority who're unable to have their way?

Wealthy Nigerians are buying up passports for cash from Caribbean nations to beat visa rules


A year ago, the office of Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) in the small Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia had received no applications from any Africans in its nearly five years of operations.

But in the past few months, it has issued up to 60 passports to Nigerians and is reporting steady increases in applications from the country—still its sole African market.


That sharp rise reflects spiking demand among Nigeria’s wealthy private citizens who are increasingly tapping into “investment migration” programs offered by foreign countries. The programs allow foreign nationals obtain fast-tracked citizenship and passports or permanent residency permits in exchange for specified amounts of cash investments. The payment for the passports can come in form of direct “contributions” to the development funds set up by the national governments or through investment in real estate projects which offer the promise of not just passports but also possible profits.

With around 40,000 passports believed to have been issued through investment migration programs globally, citizenship by investment is now estimated to be a $3 billion industry. It is often favored by high-net worth individuals from countries with “weak” passports often from countries in sub-Saharan Africa and some Middle Eastern countries.
Henley & Partners, the world’s largest investment migration consultancy, has also set up shop in Africa’s largest economy after seeing a sharp rise in demand from the country over the past three years. The office in Lagos is only Henley & Partners’ third in Africa, in addition to offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg opened six years ago.

“The reason we opened in Nigeria is because we saw significant potential in the market with growth in private wealth without global mobility for high net worth individuals,” says Paddy Blewer, public relations director at Henley & Partners. “What you have is a community of wealthy individuals who cannot travel without visas.”

That reality is best captured by the weakness of Nigeria’s international passport. In fact, Nigerian passport holders can visit two fewer countries now than they could in 2010 without first obtaining a visa. The country also suffered the worst decline in passport power over the past decade, according to rankings on the annual Henley Passport Index.

But even paperwork-intensive visa application processes have also gotten more complicated for Nigerians. Under the Trump administration, for example, US visa application fees for Nigerian applicants have been increased, an interview waiver process for visa renewals for frequent travelers has been indefinitely suspended while a ban has also been placed on issuing immigrant visas to Nigerians.

Don't feel defeated. You can if you plan towards it. I'll be starting my own process next year.
It will be a 4 year dream come true. Nothing comes easy but it can be done.

Bro please what's the process for this? Is there any online resource that can help me with getting one?

Nigeria passport is as useless as a used toilet tissue.
You can't go to any country of your choice without a visa except Syria and iraq.
What form of injustice is that, there by you will hold a passport of tiny countries like malta , mauritius, sychelles, Belize and be traveling around the world with a country of choice.
