The most heart breaking story I heard this week. Someone shared how he bought a house in Lekki for roughly 60M in 2014.

The house is realistically worth maybe 30M naira today.

So he bought it for $390,000 in 2014. And it's worth about $70,000 today.

VALUE INCINERATION.

I wish @Risevest was already in existence then. $390,000 after 6 years would have been far more today. My first post asking Nigerians to invest in USD was written in September 2014. It's still up. You can check.

To me this is not about making money. There's a whole lot of things I could do to make money. But it's so that I can stop hearing stories like this. Invest in a diverse portfolio of US rental properties, high quality stocks and fixed income. In USD. For your own financial future.
