So this is what you can do

Even though you do not want to consider the UK or US as destinations, you may be missing out on a lot opportunities, because these have opportunities for growth and are liberal societies, u can make your money or even get investors easily in these places than anywhere else...

My thots

1) Register your company in the US and work to get an O1 visa, I know a couple of people who can support you on this

2) Apply for the global talent UK visa which allows you to stay for 3 years to work or establish a.business

your skillsets seem to qualify for both visas

3) work in parallel to get the Canadian express entry, this could take a while to get all your documents complete

The 1st 2 options allow you to live in the UK or US and also run your business from there with a 3/5 year residency option , which you can convert to PR and ultimately a citizenship.
You can have either or both visas by Dec 2021 if you get it right...
I promise you that you will do your self a.lot of good with these pending when Canada opens up. Recall that Canada is not as dynamic as these 2 countries...

You also have the option of registering your company in Dubai, but no citizenship even after 20 years...

In all , you can still run the business in Nigeria, while trying to settle abroad.

For those asking him to stay back in Nigeria ,see the attachment,
20m was about 100k usd in 2015, now is just about 40k usd, so that big money has lost 60% value in 6 years , in a few years, it will be 10k

Not every body in the abroad is struggling or washing toilet, a whole lot are cleaning out legally with loads of integrity .
My 2 cents

Hello Nairalanders,

I got to hear about the Aswani Market advert for Lockup shops.

I like the concept and I am talking to some finance institutions already for Mortgage to allow me purchase.

I have never done anything in the Lockup shop market, but this looks like a viable business to me.

I need advise on the intricacies of this kind of business and I need to hear thoughts of people with experience.

For instance, if I purchase land, I would have to develop, manage omo-onile, etc etc.

But with, this, I can earn from the traders who rent, while I pay back monthly.
In a mid/long term, I can sell the shop(s) for profit and be able to construct a house in any area of choice, and also by then I would have more funds at my disposal . . .

it is around Sabo and there is a C of O.

I am looking for mortgage fund or bank finance for property in Yaba . . .

Thx

Hello Nairalanders,

I cam upon some property in Yaba, Lagos.

While I know that it is necessary to do the necessary background checks to validate.

What are the options for raising capital for this kind of purchase? (something in the area of mortgage)

exepecting your advise . . .
