Nigerians abroad often face fraud and mismanagement when investing back home. Here's how to invest safely.


Introduction


Every year, diaspora Nigerians lose millions trusting relatives or friends with property projects. Family drama, fraud, and poor oversight can turn a dream home into heartbreak.


Common Diaspora Pitfalls

  • Funds misused by relatives.

  • Land bought without valid excision or title.

  • Houses built with substandard materials.

  • No updates or accountability.


Safe Investment Channels

  1. Use Escrow Payments: Prevents misuse of funds.

  2. Hire Verified Realtors: Avoid unvetted "contacts."

  3. Demand Virtual Tours: Real-time video updates from the property.

  4. Work with Diaspora-Focused Firms: Like Brixenmore's Diaspora Desk.
