You sound very passionate. If you live very close to either country you should’ve made plans by now. Maybe join your brothers back home and help build the clueless government you’re online supporting 24/7

givedemwotowoto:


There have always been wars in that region. In the past 40 years alone, there have been over 10 wars including civil wars. I think the Americans know what they’re doing, they have very good intelligence but Biden doesn’t want to offend the democratic base so he’s playing it behind the scenes.

givedemwotowoto:


All these while you guys have been encouraging Iran to teach Israel a lesson, it’s time to show working and you’re suddenly afraid?

That’s why they call you Tilumbu people bloody cowards

DWickedLandLord:
Fear of Israel's Big Brother is the beginning of wisdom 😬

able20:

How many bags of Rice did Mr Tinubu distributed to those people

Pussyisgud:
He must have collected and sniffed tinubu's white powder

Ofunaofu:


Are you now implying that the reason Tinubu turned out to be a catastrophic failure and a disaster inflicting untold hardships and pains on Nigerians is simply because he couldn't deliver her daughter from lesbian acts?

Tinubu 8 years
Shettima 8 years
Wicked Wike 8 years
Ribadu. 8 years
Seyi Tinubu 8 years and the circle continue

givedemwotowoto:


Tell me, what are you afraid of? Are there things in your bucket list you haven’t done yet?

Ade3131:


The ignorance of Africans, either Muslims Christians or other beliefs that are blindly supporting and cheering Israel on is sickening.

To some Christian folks, their support revolves around "whoever blesses Israel is blessed and whoever curses Israel is cursed", but an overwhelming majority of them don't know that the current occupants of the land called Israel are Europeans. People with dual citizenship with proper European names that came for what is called settlers colonialism.

France did it in Morocco, it happened in South Africa and now Palestine is the last stronghold they have remaining.

Those who thought the ancestral land of the Jews is where we call Israel today don't know that the place you called Israel today could have been in Argentina or the boarder between Ethiopia and Kenya. They settled for Palestine for a reason and when they're done ethnically cleaning the land, their next sight is on South Africa....a place called Orania.

Nonexisting1:
Cowards. Come and fight like men, they can not but if na to terrorize innocent people, they will start showing power. When they see Isreali army now, they will run with their legs touching the back of their heads. Terrorists are cowards. If you want fight, come out and fight with your full chest.

jaxxy:


I know u will cry after hearing the truth. Suffer no dey taya u?

jaxxy:


That's because some people still voted tinubu/apc despite the many warnings now they are suffering and regretting it while tinubu is buying private jets and luxury cars.

As for Mr yakubu he has his own blames cos inec was a fraud and disregarded their own rules and electoral act to start even deleting their previous tweets on their electoral process and law.

Hope u understand what they mean now?

God will continue to fight for Israel with the same efficiency that God used to eliminate Hezbollah & Hamas leaders.
Exodus 14:14
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Anybody fighting Israel is fighting God,

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

APC and their supporters are unbelievable. Imagine their mentality. You want a working country and you are taunting a governor for refusing to share money with crooks. And this are the same people that claim they're in government for a better Nigeria. Apc as a party should be banned anytime they're chased away from power.

Why Nigerians in the Diaspora Should Work with a Trusted Real Estate Advisor for Safe and Profitable Investments

For many Nigerians in the diaspora, investing in real estate in Nigeria might pose certain risks because they are physically unavailable and can only rely on the information of realtors, agents and real estate developers whose primary aim is to sell a land or property, without necessarily having your best interest in mind.

Furthermore, the Nigerian real estate market is known for its complexities, scams, and misinformation, with those living abroad being a vulnerable target. To successfully combat these challenges, it is essential to work with a real estate advisor, who can also help you conduct unbiased due diligence and proper investigation before you part with your huge capital.

This article explores why Nigerians in the diaspora should prioritize working with a trusted neutral real estate advisor who can guide them through every step of the investment process, ensuring safe and profitable returns.

1. Avoiding Real Estate Scams in Nigeria
One of the biggest concerns for Nigerians in the diaspora is the prevalence of fraudulent real estate deals. Many investors have fallen victim to scammers who sell fake properties, disputed lands, or properties without the proper documentation. This is especially problematic for those not physically present to verify details.

A reputable real estate advisor serves as your eyes and ears on the ground, conducting thorough due diligence to verify property ownership, land titles, and all necessary legal documents. This minimizes the risk of fraud and ensures that you are investing in properties that are legally sound and free from disputes.

2. Local Market Expertise for Better Investment Decisions
Understanding the unique characteristics of the Nigerian property market is crucial for making smart investment decisions. Whether you are looking to buy land in Lagos, off-plan properties, or secure a luxury home, you need someone who knows the market trends, government regulations, and development projects.

A skilled real estate consultant can provide insights into emerging investment opportunities, high-growth areas, and regions with strong potential for property value appreciation. By working with a local advisor, you can access strategic investment advice that matches your long-term financial goals.

3. Tailored Real Estate Investment Strategies
Each real estate investor has unique goals, be it for building a portfolio for passive income, buying a family home in Nigeria, or investing in land for future development. A qualified real estate advisor helps create a personalized investment strategy based on your specific needs, financial objectives, and risk tolerance.

For Nigerians in the diaspora, having someone who understands your goals and tailors their advice accordingly ensures that you’re investing in the right property for the right reasons. You might want to invest in the Nigerian real estate market for land banking, acquiring rental properties, or buying a luxury apartment in Lagos and depending on your goal, you will be assisted on the best possible route to achieve your financial and investment plans.

4. Streamlined Real Estate Transactions Despite the Distance
Investing in Nigerian real estate from abroad can be a complicated process due to the need for document verification, price negotiation, and legal compliance. This is where a trusted real estate advisor steps in, managing the entire process on your behalf. They handle everything from property inspections and legal paperwork to liaising with sellers or developers, ensuring that your investment is smooth and hassle-free.

For Nigerians in the diaspora, this level of support is invaluable. With a real estate consultant managing your investment, you don’t have to worry about delays, miscommunication, or hidden issues.

5. Peace of Mind for Diaspora Investors
When you work with a professional real estate advisor who truly has your best interests in mind, you gain peace of mind. You can trust that they are handling your transaction with transparency and accountability, ensuring that every step of the process is legitimate and secure. This peace of mind is especially important when you’re investing significant sums from abroad, as it eliminates the stress and uncertainty associated with making such a major financial decision from a distance.

Your advisor isn't there to convince you to buy a land or property but to help you scan through and recommend the best option that fits your goals or even, recommend a totally different asset if real estate isn't the best vehicle for you, recommend a different location and give unbiased facts about the pros and cons of a real estate investment you are about to make.

6. Access to Exclusive Real Estate Opportunities
Real estate advisors who are deeply embedded in the Nigerian property market often have access to exclusive deals, such as off-market properties or early-stage developments. By working with them, you gain access to these opportunities before they become widely available, which can mean better prices, higher appreciation potential, and a better return on investment.

For Nigerians in the diaspora, this exclusive access can be a game-changer, especially when looking to invest in high-growth areas like Lekki, Ajah, or Ibeju Lekki.

7. Compliance with Nigerian Real Estate Laws
The legal complexities of the Nigerian real estate market can be difficult to understand, especially for those unfamiliar with local laws. Issues related to property titles, land use regulations, and zoning can quickly derail an investment. An experienced real estate advisor ensures that you comply with all legal requirements, guiding you through title verification, the signing of the Deed of Assignment, obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), or going through the process of acquiring Governor's Consent.

This legal expertise prevents costly mistakes and ensures that your investment is fully secure from a legal standpoint.

8. Building Long-Term Real Estate Wealth and Planning your Exit Strategy
When you buy a land or property, you usually have an end goal in mind, which could be to resell at a later period for capital appreciation or to lease/rent out your building either for commercial or residential uses.

A good advisor will be there for the long haul, assisting you with property management, resale, or expanding your property portfolio.

Conclusion: Invest with Confidence, Invest with a Lagos Real Estate Advisor

For Nigerians in the diaspora, investing in Nigerian real estate is a great way to build wealth, secure a future home, and maintain ties to the country. However, the process can be filled with risks and challenges. By partnering with a real estate advisor who prioritizes your best interests, and not just selling to you, you can confidently navigate these challenges.

An experienced advisor offers local market expertise, protects you from scams, ensures legal compliance, and provides peace of mind throughout the process.

Don’t leave your investments to chance. Work with a reliable real estate consultant who understands the Nigerian market and has your best interests in mind. Call or Chat Enoh Umukoro, a Lagos Real Estate Advisor on 08101406120 and start your real estate investment journey with confidence today!

Polaris Bank, Nigeria’s leading retail commercial banking has emerged as Nigeria’s Best Bank in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) lending.


The lender was recognised over the weekend for it’s long standing commitments to supporting MSMEs through several direct and indirect funding channels.

Expert judges at the inaugural MSME Finance Awards 2024, organised by Nairametrics and The Economic Forum, at the weekend in Lagos, said the choice of Polaris Bank as the ‘Best in MSME Lending’ (Banking Sector) was based on the bank’s provision of sustainable finance and funding to entrepreneurs in the MSMEs sector to grow their businesses.



MSMEs are the largest employers in the Nigerian economy, providing immense contributions in job creation and economic activities. Recent data showed that the contribution of the MSME sector to employment had increased by 3.5 per cent.


The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimated that MSMEs contribute around 48 per cent to GDP and around 80 per cent of total employment in Nigeria.


The award ceremony, held at the upscale Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, cemented Polaris Bank’s reputation as a pacesetter in industry standards for lending and impact-driven financing to critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Commenting on the award, Managing Director, Polaris Bank, Mr. Kayode Lawal, said: “We are honoured to receive this prestigious award, recognising our commitment to empowering Nigerian MSMEs. Micro, small, and medium businesses are pivotal to national economic growth; they are the backbone for large corporations and drive innovation and job creation.

“We are glad that our dedication to providing accessible financing and tailor-made innovative solutions has made a tangible impact on the growth and sustainability of these vital businesses.’’

He commended Nairametrics and The Economic Forum series for the award and assured of Polaris Bank’s continued commitment to MSMEs empowerment by delivering innovative and exceptional customer-centric services and solutions that propel Nigeria’s overall economic advancement.

“We are grateful to Nairametrics and The Economic Forum for this recognition, acknowledging our team’s relentless efforts to provide innovative and exceptional services to Nigeria’s MSME sector. This award is a motivation for us; our strategic focus on MSME lending, driving financial inclusion, and promoting Nigeria’s economic development remains something we are committed to,’’ he stated.

Nairametrics, Nigeria’s leading financial literacy news platform, explained that the nomination and subsequent award bestowed on Polaris Bank and other finalists were meant to honour financial services organizations—including banks, insurance companies, and fintech companies—that have made a real impact on MSMEs in Nigeria, ensuring sustainable growth for the sector.

Polaris Bank has built a strong footprint in financing MSME by committing billions of naira in loans to support MSME operations in Nigeria, with huge lending portfolio dedicated to empowering micro, small, and medium businesses meant to grow businesses, create jobs, and build wealth. These initiatives have earned Polaris Bank multiple awards and recognitions, including the 2022 and 2023 MSME Bank of the Year award by BusinessDAY’s Banks and Other Financial Institutions Awards (BAFI).
