There are over 20 Million Nigerians in diaspora who live in different parts of the world, including – Asia, America, Europe and other continents. 

There’s a popular fun-fact about finding Nigerians in every city in the world, and if there’s a city without a Nigerian, then you should vacate the place without question. 

Even as the country records an increasing amount of emigration, one thing will always be certain, Nigeria is home! 

Owning properties and investments in the place you call home has several financial and social benefits. 

There are many reasons why you might want to invest in real estate from abroad, but one of the most important is that it gives you access to property markets where prices may be lower than they would be if you were actually living there yourself. This can make buying property much easier on your budget while still allowing you to make good returns on your investment over time.
