He has 1.8M~ and he still wants to take a loan?

Makes no sense. He can easily get a Naija used Corolla or Civic and still keep some change.

If he goes ahead to spend the 1.8m on building a house now, it’s only going to end up been an abandoned project and he’ll be frustrated more.

Advise your friend to get a sound Nigerian used car and start driving. Then he can start saving to build a house gradually.


1.8 should get him a foreign used 8th gen civic. He should forget buying a corolla and get the civic instead. Meanwhile, the housing thing is out of the equation here.

Welcome to Nigeria.

It's always Uber, Laundry/Dry cleaning, POS and other casual street hustles. I personally would never venture into Uber. What career can that build for you? I should use my car and carry one ashawo girl that will tell me nonsense and still share the money with the company?

I would never be able to understand the reason behind our lack of ideas in this country.
From the government to the electorates. Even the best of the best cannot come up with a sound business idea that can launch the careers of many people. All these first class and upper class people, what's the use of your grades if you still come down to struggle for all these street jobs?

Back to the matter...

He should use that 1.8M to expand his fashion house and make it very standard. I hate all these street hustles that cannot help one build a career.

Very good point. In the long run, it's better to focus on his fashion business

Using the money for business is profit or loss 50%. using the money to buy land and building house, its 80% profit, either completed or not. but you will have little problem.
Remember that when there is notting , there is notting to lose, when you still have a lot of money, you still have a lot of problems to solve.
invest 70% of the money on property, and use the remaining 30% on another business. if the business bring more profit, you can then borrow.

You're the only person who has made sense here..... Which work is better and highly paying as a handwork ...

My advice, upgrade your fashion designing thing cos it is a high paying work.... You get handwork you still dey Find work... Na wa ooh



Meanwhile, looking for a futuristic business to venture into, the sky is too big for anyone to venture into phone accessories.

We can also supply you gadgets for gift and sourvenirs at your wedding, offices or church....

Option 2.
Get a land build a house even if 1 room.
That's his receipt for all the many years hardwork.

You have spoken well.
Nigerians love what's in Vogue.
If it's not popular, then it's not a money maker.
Also Nigerians in this present day Nigeria do not like to take risk, it's understandable considering the economy at hand.
Also these regular hustles are just to survive for every each day.
People don't even do business with the mind set of acquiring a house through your proceeds anymore, it's just business to survive each day with.

Please don't say that. Just because you didn't marry right doesn't mean that it's a scam. There are happy married couples. It all depends on the individuals involved

well said, cos he failed in marriage doesn't mean there are no others excelling in it

Build a house with 1.8million? That means he want to end up not completing his house project.....

He should just get a few month Nigerua used either Corolla 2004/2005 or civic 2007/2008 and start the uber as he has suggested...

At least he would add up with what is left from the 1.8, that's if he's driving the car himself....

He should also endeavour to apply to both bolt and uber, so that he can make his money fast...

I have not done it before, but I heard people do it alot....

The Lord is his strength
wat is d range of price for a corolla 2004 / 2005

Tell him to buy the corolla and use it for uber, bet me he will buy a better land and build a better house within 2 years if he work hard, a guy in my neighbourhood took keke on hire purchase, he paid off the money for the keke and he bought a land and build 2 flat of 2 bedroom each, and funny enough he is still riding the same keke and he told me he is currently saving to open a coca cola depot, he told me makes 11k 12k and sometimes 10k daily if he works hard driving his keke

I see your guy becoming financially Free in the near future if he continues on this path

He's acquiring assets and that's plausible. People might look down on him now cos he rides keke and all that but a wise person with foresight should make this man his friend

Go buy land in a nice area if you have another source of income. You will look at your property and smile one day. I bought a piece of land in may this year and I wanted to do same for my brother at the same area but different seller two days ago. I was shocked when I noticed the price is almost 3x now.

Land will always appreciate while Vehicular assets depreciate!

Hmmm, he can get a land and build just a mini flat on it, but will he be leaving there to do his fashion business or he will spend on transportation to get to shop

Left for me, let him get the uber ride and save money from there to buy land

Buying land is one part and building it is another part, else they will sell the land and relocate him to another land
