I missed the opportunity to act on Lagos real estate early. “When I arrived in Lagos as a young pastor, a plot of land in Opebi was N500, and in Allen Avenue, it was N1000. These areas, including Ikeja and Opebi, were undeveloped bushlands. In Isolo, land was also N500 per plot.””The same plot in Opebi that I passed on for N500 in 1979/80, I ended up buying in 2004 for N10 million. “I built four flats and a small house on it, lived there for a few years, and then sold the entire property for around N120 to N150 million in 2018, with my total investment being N55 million.”Ashimolowo advises against investment in shares”I lost about N200 million in Nigerian bank shares, and they werent even worth N30 million when I tried to sell. If I had invested that money in land, I wouldnt have needed to do anything to it. “And Im not talking about failed banks, but those still around today. Their shares keep dropping, yet their MDs and founders keep thriving. How does that make sense?”Lagos state gov sent to commission new estate
