Introduction
The Nigerian diaspora is one of the most powerful economic forces shaping the country today. In 2023 alone, Nigerians abroad sent home over $20 billion in remittances, much of which flowed into real estate. Yet, many still hesitate to invest because of bitter stories: money disappearing into fraudulent hands, land disputes with omo onile, or documentation that never materializes.
At Landnest, we understand these concerns. That is why we have built a system that ensures smooth, stress-free, and transparent investments for our diaspora clients. Whether you are in London, Houston, Toronto, or Johannesburg, we make property ownership in Nigeria a safe and rewarding experience.
This guide explains the challenges diaspora investors face, the solutions we provide, and the practical steps we take to guarantee security and peace of mind.
The Common Challenges Diaspora Nigerians Face
Fraud and Scams
One of the greatest fears for Nigerians abroad is losing money to fraudsters. Stories abound of people sending millions to relatives or agents, only to return home years later and discover there was no land or property.
Distance and Communication Gaps
Living thousands of miles away makes it difficult to verify land or monitor progress. Miscommunication often leads to costly mistakes.
Omo Onile Disputes
In many parts of Nigeria, land grabbers (popularly called omo onile) sell land multiple times or disrupt buyers during construction.
Documentation Problems
Improper or missing documents like survey plans, excision, or Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) often cause legal battles.
Lack of Trustworthy Partners
Diaspora Nigerians sometimes rely on relatives or friends who may lack professional knowledge, leading to mismanaged investments.

Zoom meetings
Real-time site videos and photos
