Accelerating Property Investment Goals in Nigeria within 6 Months by Dennis Isong

Achieving property investment goals within a short time frame requires a strategic approach, especially in a dynamic market like Nigeria. This may sound unachievable but it is doable when you follow the guidelines below.
● What exact aspect of real estate do you want to invest in?
Begin by setting specific and realistic investment goals by clearly defining the type of property you want to invest in, the expected returns, and any constraints you may have. Having a well-defined plan will guide your actions and decisions throughout the process. List all the workings out to know what to do and not get stuck in the process.
● Are you familiar with the market before jumping into it?
If necessary, explore financing options and ensure your budget aligns with your financial capabilities.
Real Estate is not a business you can walk into , blindfolded. You have to understand the local real estate market is crucial and the determinant of what your investments will turn out to be. Research trends, property values, and emerging areas with growth potential. Identify areas where demand is high but supply may be limited, as this could present lucrative opportunities.
● Can you adequately finance it?
Evaluate your financial capacity and set a budget for your investment. Consider all associated costs, including property acquisition, legal fees, and potential renovations. If necessary, explore financing options and ensure your budget aligns with your financial capabilities. Then, set aside funds for miscellaneous or any unforeseen circumstances.
● Move with like-minded people.
Building a network within the real estate industry can open doors to valuable opportunities. Attend local property events, join online forums, and connect with professionals in the field. Collaborating with experienced individuals can provide insights and support for successful investments. Then, make use of social media platforms.
● Be aggressive (positively) in your approach.
You can’t be slow in response when it comes to real estate investment. Hesitation can lead to missed opportunities. Once you’ve identified a suitable property, act decisively. Be prepared to negotiate and finalize transactions promptly. Timeliness is often a key factor in securing the best deals.
● Know what you are investing in.
Before finalizing any property transaction, conduct thorough legal due diligence. Don’t invest in a property that will stress you out with little or no significant returns. Also, verify property titles, confirm ownership, and ensure there are no encumbrances. Engage legal professionals to guide you through the process and avoid potential legal pitfalls.
● Don’t be hesitant on improving property value.
If your goal involves improving property value, plan and execute renovations efficiently. Focus on upgrades that enhance appeal and functionality, ultimately increasing the property’s market value.
● Implement an effective marketing strategy.
If you intend to sell or lease the property quickly, implement an effective marketing strategy. Utilize online platforms, social media, and traditional advertising methods to reach potential buyers or tenants.
● Be intentional with your progress.
Regularly monitor the progress of your investments and be willing to adjust your strategy if needed. Stay informed about market changes and adapt your approach accordingly.

Why Dantata will be buried in Saudi Arabia tomorrow
Dantata, 94, an uncle of Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote, is survived by three wives, 21 children and 121 grandchildren.

Business mogul and philantrophist Aminu Dantata, is set to be buried tomorrow (Tuesday) in Medina, Saudi Arabia after he died on Saturday in the United Arab Emirates.
Sources closed to the family disclosed that it was Dantata’s wish to be buried in a city he adored and where Islam’s prophet Muhammad lived and died.
Dantata, 94, an uncle of Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote, is survived by three wives, 21 children and 121 grandchildren.
His body was set to be transferred from Abu Dhabi, where he died, to the holy city of Medina after Saudi authorities approved his burial in their country.
Background and Wealth
He was known across Nigeria for his philanthropic activities.
Last year, he donated 1.5 billion naira ($972,000; £710,000) to victims of the devastating floods in north-eastern Borno state.
His business interests cut across agriculture, real estate, construction and manufacturing.
He first made his name in agriculture, starting trading kola nuts and groundnuts in the 1940s.
He came from a business family – his father Alhassan Dantata was once considered to be the richest man in West Africa.
Despite his riches, Dantata lived in one of the poorest areas of the northern city of Kano, like his parents before him.
His influence was also felt in politics, with politicians eager to seek his blessings before elections.

ALLEGED DEFAMATION: Court Grants Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan bail

… As Trial begins September 2
Nigerian Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has been arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja, over alleged defamation of Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.

This is the second arraignment for similar charges, as she was also arraigned on June 19, 2025, at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court.
Like in the previous arraignment, the Kogi Central Senator has pleaded not guilty to what she is being accused of.

A six-count charge against her stems from statements she allegedly made during a live television broadcast on April 3, 2025, and in a telephone conversation on March 27, 2025.
The Federal Government, through the Attorney General’s office accuses Akpoti-Uduaghan of claiming that Akpabio and Bello conspired to orchestrate her assassination.
She is also accused of making statements regarding the alleged use of organs from a deceased individual for Akpabio’s wife.

The government contends that she made these imputations knowingly or with reason to believe they would harm the reputations of Akpabio and Bello, an act deemed to be criminal.
At her arraignment on June 19, she pleaded not guilty to all charges and was granted bail in the sum of N50 million with one surety. The prosecution had initially requested her remand in a correctional facility, which was opposed by her legal team.
At the Federal High Court, however, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has been granted bail on self-recognition, being a serving Senator. The judge, Muhammed Umar, then fixed September 22 for the start of trial.
Similarly, Akpoti-Uduaghan has also filed a suit challenging her six-month suspension from the Senate, and a ruling on that matter, along with contempt proceedings, is expected on July 4, 2025. Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court is presiding over that particular case.

Spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, said, “A search of his carry-on bag revealed 37 wraps of cocaine weighing 800 grams were concealed therein.
“Investigation showed that the suspect was coming from Turkey on an Ethiopian Airlines flight but transited through Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he collected the luggage from another person before heading to Nigeria.
Further checks revealed that an accomplice, who turned out to be the former professional footballer Segun Hunkarin, was waiting for Chinedu at the airport carpark to collect the consignment from him.
“Hunkarin, who had stayed years in Brazil playing for football clubs, was promptly tracked and arrested at the carpark.“
