A few years ago, I was thinking about adding #realestate to my #investment portfolio. At the time, I was under the impression that I needed millions of Naira to begin. I'd also heard horror stories about "Omonile" and people being swindled by fraudulent property agents.
Then, a friend invited me to a #realestate training workshop. I realised serendipity works in wonderful ways. Sometimes, when your heart is focused on something, the universe has a way of making it happen.
It turned out the facilitator was someone I had previously trained on #socialmedia. Now I was learning about #realestate from him. How life works!
From the training, I was able to clarify many things about #realestate - how to avoid "omonile", when to fence my land, what a deed of assignment is, what registered conveyance is etc. I learnt how to buy cheap virgin land and soon after, bought land for N245,000 per plot.
I was added to a WhatsApp Group that keeps me informed of new #realestate deals & I can now accompany the company for site inspections. If I want, I can earn commissions on referrals. Finally, I buy land at a members-only discount and conveniently pay over a yr, without interest.
My #realestate training took place on the mainland (in Lagos) but now, the company is starting an "Executive" series in Victoria Island. If you are free between 5pm to 8.30pm on either Thursday, June 21 or Friday, June 22, you should sign up. The cost is N10,000.
If you would like to attend the #realestate training, please join my mailing list and select June Real Estate Training: tinyurl.com/investemail. I will email details.
If you are interested in the #realestate training, but cannot make the June date or you reside outside Lagos, please select Property Training Opportunities on my email list: tinyurl.com/investemail. I will inform you of future sessions. Thank you.

LIFE HAPPENS | “Sho, do you cook?”, my date asked. I replied jauntily, “I used to but not anymore. I now have access to a chef and can afford to order what I like eating.” #Thread#Life#Relationships
My date followed up by asking, “If your boyfriend asked you to cook for him, would you?” I grinned, as I realised my date was sadly playing from a script. I replied, “I don’t have a guy I like who’s asking me to cook, so I can’t say.”
I think my date thought I was being coy. But, I wasn’t. I was just being honest. A while ago, I decided to deal in reality and not hypotheticals. I have tried and failed to control life. All my effort got me was an anxiety problem and therapy.
#HEALING, #MEDICINE & OTHER MATTERS: One thing I struggle with and continue to talk to God about, is the ratio of people he heals versus those healed by medicine or those who eventually die.
Let's discount specific waves of the Spirit, for a moment - the ministries of Kathryn Kuhlman and other documented faith healers. Instead, let's do a simple headcount of those who get miraculously healed in an average church.
We may find that less people are healed supernaturally than those who die, or those who get healed through medicine.
"God, I want my future back." Those were the words I whispered to God two weeks ago, while I was going through the greatest health scare of my life. #Thread#Health#Life
In the midst of the tests and various medical consultations, it occurred to me that my life had stopped. My symptoms limited my movements and where I could go. So, I couldn't plan and I couldn't project forward.
Things like traveling or dating went out of the window. I was stuck on finding a solution to my health challenge. My tests are still ongoing. I'm still seeing doctors, but we think we now know what's wrong. And so, I am hopeful.

Yesterday, I thought about how difficult it is for many of us to concatenate being Christian with enjoying life. #Thread#Christianity#Christian
Somehow we imagine one cannot be Christian and sexual, Christian and metrosexual, Christian and gourmand. When we are forced to make a choice, we either choose active Christian and boring or passive Christian and epicurean.
I am so alive. I am culturally exposed and enjoy living. But, there is a centredness to me. Because God lives within me, he modulates everything I do.
