Sahara Weekly Reports That The Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in the November Imo Governorship election, Sir Tony Ejiogu flagged off his campaign on Thursday in Owerri, Imo State capital, promising to rebuild Imo by tackling insecurity and reviving the economy of the State.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMO GUBER: Security, Economy Top Ejiogu’s Agenda for Imo as APGA Flags Off Campaign

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In an emotion-laden stump speech, Ejiogu who went down memory lane and bemoaned the lost glory of the State, said Imo has moved from the Eastern heartland to become the Eastern wasteland over the past three years and promised to tackle the security menace through a potpourri of measures including strengthening law enforcement, and investing significantly in community engagement to identify conflict drivers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He said it was time to remind Imo people, that “In spite of our past triumphs and legacies, this is a time of great tension between good and evil, progress and retrogression, and a time to choose whether to continue on the path of destruction or begin the process of rebuilding our dear Imo”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“My first charge in the rebuilding agenda is to make our communities liveable again. From August 2020 to July 2023, our dear Imo state has experienced 209 violent attacks. No fewer than 289 people have lost their lives to those attacks, while about 100 people have been kidnapped and mostly unaccounted for subsequently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“These are not just numbers. They are our sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, cousins and uncles. Who among you today still sleeps with both eyes closed? Who among you today will invite your friends from across the Niger to Imo for your children’s traditional marriage ceremony? These simple gestures that define us are now being threatened by the forces of evil. My priority is to restore security to our dear state so that we may once again enjoy the simple pleasures of life and feel safe while at it,” Ejiogu said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While lamenting that despite boasting one of the highest literacy rates in the country, Ejiogu decried Imo’s unenviable status as the headquarters of youth unemployment in Nigeria. He, therefore vowed to implement strategic economic reforms and initiatives that will create the enabling environment for private enterprises to thrive and create much-needed jobs, thereby tackling poverty by its roots, while boosting internally generated revenue, IGR by 50% within three years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The APGA flagbearer, whose candidacy is shaping up to be one of the strongest contenders in the race to the Imo government house in the November election, also promised to pay Imo workers a liveable minimum wage of at least 80,000 naira per month, while settling pension and gratuities as and when due.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ejiogu also said his economic agenda will feature aggressive reforms of the agricultural sector to tackle food insecurity by harnessing the potential of the sector in the state through his “One-Community-One-Product (OCOP)” initiative, which will enable the state to develop specialty products from communities based on existing comparative advantage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The former Seminarian said the time has come for all Imo people to shed their inhibitions, forget their differences and “choose to rebuild Imo by voting for the right leadership in the November Governorship election”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He added, “My stewardship shall remain committed to a purposeful, people-centred, servant leadership that considers our people’s plight and incredible strength in delivering social justice, good governance, and engendering economic prosperity and protection for all. Ndi Imo deserves fresh ideas and initiatives that will set and propel our dear state on a trajectory of peace, growth and limitless prosperity.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ejiogu also pledged his commitment to full devolution of powers and the restoration of the local government system by conducting free, fair and credible local government elections upon assumption of office, and allowing them complete financial and operational independence.

Sahara Weekly Reports That Today, we’re delving into the realm of real estate, specifically focusing on how your property portfolio should shape up in 2024.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW YOUR PROPERTY PORTFOLIO SHOULD LOOK LIKE IN 2024 BY DENNIS ISONG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether you’re a seasoned investor with a track record spanning five, ten, or just a couple of years, or if you’ve taken your initial steps into investing this year, this discussion is tailored to guide you through the nuances of crafting a property portfolio that aligns with the opportunities and challenges that the year 2024 holds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a practical example designed to offer insights regardless of your level of experience in the real estate journey. So, let’s embark on this insightful exploration together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. CASH FLOW REAL ESTATE

 

Real estate is like having money-making machines. You buy properties and they make you money regularly. There are three main ways they do this:

 

Rental Income:You can own a house or apartment and let someone else live there. They pay you rent every month, and that’s your income.

 

Short-Term Rentals:If you own a place in a cool location, you can rent it out for a short period, like a vacation home. People pay good money for short stays.

 

Equity-Based Returns:This is like having a share in a property. Even if you don’t own the whole thing, you still get a piece of the profit.

 

It’s like having different money streams – some from homes, some from businesses, and even some from farms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. LAND BANKING:

Imagine buying land like planting seeds for the future. Here’s how:

 

High-Yield: Some lands grow in value super fast. You buy low, and before you know it, it’s worth a lot more. Quick and exciting!

 

Joint Venture (JV): Team up with others to make something big. You have the land, they have the skills to build. Everyone wins.

 

Short-Flip:Buy land, hold it for a bit, and then sell it quickly for a profit. It’s like the fast lane of land investing.

 

It’s like being a smart farmer – planting seeds in different fields, each with its own strategy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.STRATEGIC POSITIONING

Think of real estate like playing a game of chess. You want to position your pieces (properties) in the right places:

 

High-End Zone: It’s like the VIP area. People pay big money to live or do business there. Eg Ikoyi

 

Student Zones: Where there are students, there’s always a need for housing. Universities and colleges are like gold mines for real estate.

 

Business Areas: If there are offices and companies, there’s a need for commercial spaces. Invest where the businesses are.

 

Upcoming Regions:Like predicting the next big thing. If you can spot an area on the rise, investing there can bring huge returns eg epe ,ibeju lekki

 

It’s like placing your chess pieces wisely on the board to win the game.

 

 

Let’s talk about addition tips that will help you;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

Managing your real estate portfolio is like taking care of a garden:

 

Check Your Plants (Current Investments): See how your properties are doing. Are they growing well or need attention?

 

Balance Your Garden (Real Estate Types): Like having a mix of flowers, veggies, and fruits. Balance different types of real estate for the best results.

 

Get Professional Gardeners (Portfolio Managers): Sometimes, you need experts to help your garden flourish. Similarly, professionals can manage your portfolio for better outcomes.

 

It’s like having a beautiful garden that keeps growing and blooming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LONG-TERM PLANNING:

Planning your real estate journey is like mapping out a trip:

Careful Analysis: Study the map and plan your route. Similarly, analyze your options and plan your investments.

 

Consider Different Stops (Cash Flow, Land, Positioning): Like planning where to rest and refuel, think about your cash flow, land investments, and where you position your properties.

 

Create a Roadmap:Plan for the long term, just like planning a road trip. Know where you want to go and how to get there.

 

It’s like having a well-thought-out plan, ensuring a smooth and successful journey in real estate.

 

 

So, as we wrap up our chat about building your property portfolio for 2024, remember, it’s like creating a map for your real estate journey. Whether you’ve been in the game for a while or you’re just starting out, the key is to mix things up – a bit of renting here, a piece of land there, and maybe even a joint venture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget to position your properties wisely, like chess pieces on a board.

 

Taking a closer look at your existing investments and balancing them out can lead to a portfolio that’s not just strong but also ready for whatever the real estate world throws your way.

 

Planning for the long term is like setting out on a road trip with a well-thought-out map – it may take time, but it’s worth it.

 

So, let’s get out there and turn those property dreams into reality. Unlock the door to your success in real estate – the keys are in your hands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy investing!
