The Managing Director of Livelihood Homes Limited, a Lagos-based real estate firm, Mr .

Kelly Nwogu, has advised Nigerians living abroad to invest in landed property.

He said Nigerians in the diaspora should channel part of their resources to owning or building a personal house in their country for a better future when they return home.

He identified lack of trust and challenges of processing necessary documents as the major problem that scares Nigerians in foreign countries from purchasing landed property in Nigeria.

“So many people have been duped by their friends, relatives and quacks in the process of trying to help them purchase properties. A number of others have also been frustrated by cumbersome processing of necessary title documents on landed property while on short visit to the country, hence, not a few of them want to buy properties anymore in Nigeria,” Nwogu said, advising Nigerians in diaspora to patronise registered real estate firms when buying landed property in the country.

He explained that there are plans by his company to engage Nigerians living in South Africa on how best to own property in Nigeria without stress, especially through its various housing projects.
