Commonsense isn't such a common commodity!

Buy a flat or apartment in a very good area of lagos and rent it out getting good rent or use it for Airbnb. This will bring In money constantly as you're abroad, when you visit home you can stay in the flat, when you return abroad the short let service will continue

I love this channel I wish I discovered it sooner

You are right about building a bungalow instead of many stories house. My Aunty can't get to her bedroom upstairs now because of the arthritis in her knees.

For someone like Dangote, i don't understand why he is complaining, i mean, he has the financial means to buy a foreign passport if he really wanted to, for example in the UK if you invest £1M+ they'll award you UK permanent residency, the US has a similar program for wealthy investor's, you mentioned all those wealthy carribean island nations with strong passports and Turkey, including Malta with EU access, why hasn't Dangote then taken it upon himself to aquire one of those citizenships? I mean, he has the financial means to acquire and purchase a strong passport that allows him access to wherever he desires.

What is it with Africans, especially Nigerians who went abroad for greener pastures just to later turn around to permanently stayed over? It is unpatriotic, with a little slavery mentality to not consider investing in your country. Africa is the world. This is where South Africans excel. They hardly travel. Some of you are just lost souls & broke. Go build whatever you’re capable. Go contribute to your country. You’re living a borrowed life when you stay back abroad.

Do you really need this much space... true words. weldone ma for this valuable content.

Good. I clicked because of your smile on your video thumbnail. Well done

Femi Bello ~ I thank God for your wisdom and the sense of humour in the presentation as factual as the points made . We build these mansions back home and the children abroad don’t want to know at least for now. Our prayer is for our country to continue to develop to such a standard that will inspire her children to return home. Please keep up the good work.

This is a good advice. You will not believe this; some people never sleep one night in some of the houses. C R A Z Y. This talk will only benefit the wise.

Maybe they want to rent rooms one day. This is an individual choice. I have heard a lot of this philosophy from Canada. When a person buys a nice house or car or anything very nice, Canadians have a comment unlike anything I have ever heard in America. They say, " Did he that" That's like saying did you need nikes, just settle for bobos from Payless. And they seem to say this often. But they get what they want. It;s very strange to me. Socialism

You are a honourable vessel on this; voicing out what’s on my mind. Greatly appreciated.

I have seen tribalism here in the UK, too. In churches, at parties, online, etc. Tbh, unity is possible if our leaders back home make an effort to include all. Followed by communities and churches.Ty 🙏🏼

Building a home back in the old country is definitely a Liability, you're much better off renting whenever u visit.

Great video. I have been in Canada for 26 years and yiu seem to be speaking my language. I built a small container home in the village and some people thought I was crazy. Now i thank God because i go home once or twice a year and the maintenance cost is very low for me. We have been able to invest elsewhere including almost being mortgage free. Thanks for all you're doing. The information is very apt and useful. Blessings

Thanks for letting us know

Great topic and much needed discussion. Thank you

Climbing the stairs is good for health A duplex or triplex will force you exercise every days; as a result, this will help your health

Hey 👋👋 James from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪 like your videos very much how is your mom is she still in canada just say hey to all

They are fine

please ma permit to say i love your hair, it is so lovely. let me continue watching to learn. Thanks ma for the video.

I will say 'Cry the Beloved Country'. I pray we eventually have a detribalised leader who will turn things around hopefully in our lifetime.

Nice one.

Amazing

Prayers very needful as an immigrant not to get caught by a pessimist! Kudos for the wealth of advice offered. Wish you more inspiration and understanding 🙏!

I don't know how this would sound but your neck looks somewhat swollen. Hope you're fine ma?

Thank you for the good talk

Quite informative! We met on the train the other day.

The tips provided in this video generally apply to immigrants and also non immigrants whether in Canada or elsewhere! But truth be told, the job market everywhere can be likened to a pyramid - There are usually more openings in the wider, lower pay base rather than at the narrower apex. Climbing up towards the top of the totem pole requires competent skillsets and more importantly, being "a good fit or team player"! Now, the requisite skillset (eg academic qualifications) can be measured objectively but not quite so with the subjective "good fit" factor. And that is where many new immigrants are often challenged!

I appreciate you Ma, your videos are wonderful and you talk and explain with ease your indeed a mother,.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Please ma, what must a new immigrant do once he or she enters USA?

Nice, happy Sunday to you Ma..am

madam this is a good one

Great point. Thanks for sharing

There are definitely pros and cons . For us the draw of our culture is strong to build . We want to visit home with our children .

I appreciate this educating and informational education. Thank you for sharing. Be safe

I pray and I believe our parents prayer are for their children should be greater than them , May God continues to provide for us to take care of our parents.

Please don't build a house now, save your money. If you decide later that you are going to live in your own country and it is just you, my advice for you is to rent until you die. Why building a house for the extended family if your own children and spouse will not relocate and live in your country. I have a house in Nigeria and I'm in my mid 60s and now decided that I will not be going back home. What a waste of resources, if I decide later that I want to go back, I will just rent, the money is there. Just my own decision, every one has to make the best decision for themselves.

Thanks for this video , its very informative.

I am surprised you guys abroad fall into the hands of scammers or family when investing in real estate in Nigeria. I have properties in Nigeria and I don’t deal with family or friends, I deal with law firms to handle these transactions for me. Even after hiring these lawyers, I still employ the services of another lawyer to verify what has been done by another lawyer! Spend these extra money and you are good.Talking about return on investment, I bought 2 plots of land last year august for 40m, now I just sold one of the plots for 33m which I am now using to start construction on the plot left. The return on investment is good

This is a very difficult decision for many Nigerians in diaspora including myself. I have lived abroad for more thn 30 years and now thinking about retirement.I sold the first house I build in Nigeria because I was being exploited by tenants who not only did not pay their rents but also trashed the property. I have been under enormous pressure from relations to build another house to live. I have inherited land in the village and has just completed the fencing. But I have developed cold feet about building in it. Although I miss home, I can't see myself living there considering poor amenities, insecurity problem and lack of good and reliable medical care. Moreover, my children are all abroad and unlikely to need the house. Should I build and should I not build? My heart says yes but my head says no. Is a big dilemma. Well done Diekola for handling very well this very important but difficult topic.

The days of yore. We keep evolving. You look good.

Looking lovely Sis.

When I was of working age, I built a double-storey house which i hoped to retire in when i relocate back home. Well, I am now in my mid-60s and sleep in the living room downstairs because i cannot climb the stairs. I can't breathe when I climb the stairs. Plan wisely when you're young.

I agree 100% of your analysis. Thanks for sharing your thoughts👍

For me I will invest in where I currently reside. Real estate investment in Nigeria is risky. I invested in buying a land over 10 years ago and haven't seen anything up to now. Thank God I didn't spend so much like some other people.

Is better to save your money and go buy a house through the bank

i mean if you didn't live in canada before you might say it's difficult while it's actually not that difficult because i am a canadian and i can safely enjoy my winter
