By Rebecca Adeniran, Abeokuta

 

 

 

 

Foremost realtor, Dr. Babatunde Adeyemo, has declared that given the prevailing current exchange rate that placed foreign currencies like the pounds sterling and dollars ahead of the Naira, there is no better time for Nigerians living abroad to invest their idle funds in the lucrative real estate business back home than now.

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Adeyemo, who is the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, said Nigerians living in the UK, United States, Canada or Ireland are at a advantageous position to grab the favourable exchange rate climate that placed more value on the pounds, dollars and euros today, urging them to channel their funds to the secured and high R.O.I real estate business of Pellican-Valley Nigeria Ltd.

“It is good for people to invest now, most especially Nigerians in diaspora, they are really in advantageous position because the exchange rate is favourable to them and they can easily key into real estate business and it will multiply their Return on Investments (ROI). So, it is a good opportunity for them to key into the real estate business now,” he said.

adeyemo who is a recently inducted ECOWAS Youth Ambassador and anti curruption ambassador gave the advice in an exclusive interview with our reporter, revealing that Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited had been billed to show case its range of products, offer real estate advisory and also flash his proven, secured real estate investment at the forthcoming London AVI Networking Event 2023, which will be focusing on property portfolio management, investments in Nigeria.

He explained that the event slated for December 2, 2023 in London, is being put together by equally a London – based Avenue Impact Training & Consulting Limited, a firm that assists immigrants with the necessary trainings required to take informed business decision in terms of career choice, field of endeavours and the better place that can help them achieve their legitimate life ambitions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ambassador Adeyemo expresses the confidence that the multiple award winning Pelican Valley Nig Ltd would be attracting to the Gateway State no fewer than One million Pounds investments from the Property Portfolio and Management Investments event in London, saying the project is going to be mutually beneficial.

 

On the London, AVI Networking Event 2023

What AVI is trying to do now is that, having helped her members to fully integrate into the system, they are now propelling members to take an informed decision on how to invest their hard earned funds wisely. The beauty of travelling abroad is to bring all goodies acquired over there back home successfully. The AVI have actually independently conducted their research and due diligence on Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited and they have now successfully helped their members to take a wise and informed investment decisions about a viable and trustworthy organisation that their members can invest their funds in and have peace of mind. I think they really researched about us, checked our track records, goodwill, delivery and realised that we are of good reputation before reaching out to me personally to come over to London and enlighten their members on how to take a full advantage of the real estate investment in Nigeria through PelicanValley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Real estate business is highly lucrative and if I, could personally take it from almost the lowest strata of the society to this level that God has placed us, I can also help those that have the funds too, not only those with idle funds but also others that are looking at those positive and secured investments that would break-even and give a high RoI within a short period of time.

There is something you cannot take away from real estate business, that is Integrity and Goodwill. You need integrity to make your business thrive and not to cut corners of cheat investors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You need to invest with someone with a proven track records of integrity and goodwill so that your real estate investment can be secured. Let me shock you, 90% of Nigerians in diaspora who are investing in real estate had actually got their hands burnt, because most of them are unable to reach out to realtors who can secure their investments. And it takes someone with clean character, prudency and great integrity to secure real estate on behalf of any individual. It is very evident in our track record that we have been into this real estate business for almost 14 years now without a single court or police case and when you check our reviews, u will discover that we have 100% positive reviews on all our public platforms. So, it would be a wonderful opportunity for those that are willing to invest and get a high RoI to take full advantage. Take for instance the Pelican Valley Estate which we started selling land there at N800k about eight years ago,today, a plot of land there is N20million, also Pelican Brief Estate in Kobape, we started selling land at N785k but today, it is N5million per plot. I know in the next three years, it will shoot up to N10million. So, it is good for people to invest now, most especially Nigerians in diaspora, they are really in vantage position because the exchange rate is favourable to them and they can easily key into real estate business and it will multiply RoI for them. So, it is a good opportunity for them to key in.

From Dust to Dreams: Young Miner Builds House for His Parents at Just 13!

13-Year-Old Boy Builds House for Parents with Earnings from Local Mines – A Tale of Grit and Determination!

In an astonishing feat of resilience and hard work, a 13-year-old boy from Akun Ejiba, Agidi Development Area, in Nasarawa Eggon LGA of Nasarawa State, has built a house for his parents using earnings from his labor in local mines.

The young boy, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, reportedly spent countless grueling hours working in the hazardous local mining fields, saving every possible naira to achieve this remarkable goal. His unwavering determination and deep sense of family loyalty have left the entire community in awe.

A Child’s Sacrifice, A Parent’s Pride

From Dust to Dreams: Young Miner Builds House for His Parents at Just 13!

Sources within the community confirm that the boy took on the backbreaking labor at an age when most children are in school or at play. Yet, instead of spending his earnings on personal desires, he selflessly dedicated them to constructing a home for his struggling parents—a feat many adults struggle to achieve in a lifetime.

His hard work, resilience, and selflessness have not gone unnoticed. Members of the community have hailed him as a symbol of dedication and sacrifice, calling for support to ensure he gets an education and a better future.

Mixed Reactions: Inspiration or a Reflection of Society’s Harsh Reality?

While the story has been celebrated as inspirational, it also raises concerns about child labor and the harsh economic realities forcing young children into dangerous jobs. Some argue that no child should have to endure such hardship to provide for their family.

Many are now urging the government, NGOs, and well-meaning individuals to intervene, ensuring that this young hero is given the opportunity to pursue his education and live the childhood he deserves.

What’s Next for the Young Builder?

As his story spreads, there are calls for support and scholarships to lift him from the mines and into the classroom. Will the government step in? Will generous benefactors come to his aid?

For now, this 13-year-old has etched his name in history as a child whose love for family defied the odds, proving that even the smallest hands can build the biggest dreams.

Pedalling Through Time: The 75-Year-Old Ice Cream Vendor Who Refuses to Quit

Pedalling Through Time: The 75-Year-Old Ice Cream Vendor Who Refuses to Quit

Pedalling Through Time: The 75-Year-Old Ice Cream Vendor Who Refuses to Quit

In the bustling heart of Lagos Island, where the streets never sleep, one man has quietly defied time, hardship, and the odds for over 57 years—armed with nothing but a bicycle, sheer determination, and an undying work ethic.

At 75 years old, Oladimeji Lawal, affectionately known as “Felele” or “Pandy Joe,” still pedals through the ever-chaotic roads of Lagos, selling ice cream to generations of schoolchildren and residents. While many of his peers have long retired, he continues to ride, not out of passion alone, but because he has no pension, no retirement plan, and no financial safety net.

From a Young Cycle Boy to a Lagos Island Legend

Born in Ibadan in 1950, Lawal’s life took an unexpected turn in 1968 when he was hired as a cycle boy for an ice cream business. His exceptional riding skills landed him the job, but it was a tragic accident in Ibadan that altered his course. Encouraged by customers, he moved to Lagos in 1969, hoping for better fortune.

The move paid off—for a time. Business was booming, and in the golden years of ice cream vending, he earned enough to rent an apartment in Maroko and even buy land—a crucial step toward securing his future.

But fate had other plans.

In 1990, his dreams crumbled overnight when the military government of Raji Rasaki demolished the entire Maroko community, rendering thousands homeless—including Lawal. His hard-earned land was gone, and with it, his hopes for a comfortable future.

A Lifetime of Pedalling, No End in Sight

As ice cream sales declined in the late 1980s, reality hit hard—Lawal had no retirement benefits, no savings, and no way out. By the time he realized this, he was already in his 50s, too late to start over. The bicycle became both his burden and his lifeline.

While some of his former customers became successful, he remained on the streets, witnessing the city evolve around him. Some of these prominent figures even bought him a new bicycle when his old one gave out, but Lawal never once resorted to begging.

“The only benefit we get from the company is a raincoat every ten years,” he lamented. “They used to repair our bicycles, but not anymore.”

Dreams of a Shop, A Hope for Rest

Now at 75, age has caught up with him. He takes more breaks, his body weary from decades of pedalling. But he still dreams—not of wealth, but of a small shop where he can store ice cream and soft drinks, so he doesn’t have to roam the streets all day.

“If I don’t ride my bicycle for a day, I feel weak. My body is already used to it.

A Man of Honor, A Life of Sacrifice

Despite the struggles, Lawal refuses to be a burden to his children, insisting they focus on their own lives. He has outlived his wife, lost everything he worked for, yet still wakes up every morning at 8 a.m., mounts his bicycle at 9 a.m., and pedals until sundown.

And while others chase riches, Lawal holds onto something far more profound: his name, his dignity, and his unbreakable spirit.

“At least, I am not begging for alms,” he says with quiet pride. “For that, I give thanks to God.

A Cry for Help or A Story of Resilience?

Pa Lawal’s story is as inspiring as it is heartbreaking. It is a testament to hard work, sacrifice, and the brutal reality of life without financial security. The question remains: Will society step in to help this Lagos icon finally rest, or will he pedal until the very end?

Dr. Ifeoma Eze: The Connection That Transforms Lives

Dr. Ifeoma Eze: The Connection That Transforms Lives

Dr. Ifeoma Eze: The Connection That Transforms Lives

Dr. Ifeoma Eze isn’t just a preacher; she is a voice that awakens purpose, a mentor who nurtures potential, and a guide leading people back to the true source of value—God. With warmth, wisdom, and an undeniable passion for transformation, she delivers a simple yet powerful message: your worth isn’t defined by what you have, but by who you are connected to.

Dr. Ifeoma Eze: The Connection That Transforms Lives

In her inspiring book, Becoming A Person of Exceptional Value, Dr. Eze drives home a truth that is often overlooked: no one can truly thrive in life without being plugged into the ultimate source—God. “We are not just physical beings trying to have a spiritual experience,” she says with conviction. “We are spiritual beings navigating a human journey.”

She takes readers back to the very beginning—Genesis 1:28—where God gave humanity a clear mandate: be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it, and have dominion. “This isn’t just about surviving,” she explains. “It’s about thriving, creating impact, and living a life that truly matters.”

But what happens when people try to go through life disconnected from their source? Dr. Ifeoma paints a vivid picture: “Imagine a strong, well-built water pipe. It looks good, but if it’s not connected to a water supply, it serves no purpose. That’s exactly what happens when we try to succeed without God—we may look promising, but we’ll never truly function as we were meant to.”

She also draws lessons from Jesus’ encounter with the barren fig tree. “Jesus wasn’t upset with the tree for simply existing,” she explains. “He was upset because it gave the appearance of having fruit but had nothing to show for it. And that’s how many people are today—outwardly successful but inwardly empty.”

Dr. Ifeoma Eze’s message is more than just words—it’s a heartfelt call to action. She speaks with the authority of someone who has walked this path, someone who has experienced firsthand what it means to be transformed by divine connection. Her sermons are not just lessons; they are life-changing encounters, filled with energy, encouragement, and practical wisdom.

Through Becoming A Person of Exceptional Value, she challenges people to reconnect with God, to recognize their true worth, and to step boldly into their calling. “You weren’t created to struggle in mediocrity,” she affirms. “You were made to shine, to build, to replenish, and to lead. But first, you must be connected to the One who gives all value.”

Dr. Ifeoma Eze isn’t just teaching people how to live; she’s showing them how to truly thrive. And in a world where so many are searching for meaning, her message couldn’t be more timely.
