HOW DENNIS ISONG IS HELPING NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA TO OWN PROPERTIES IN NIGERIA STRESS-FREE

 

 

Many Nigerians living in diaspora have reservations against buying and owning a property in Nigeria. Your fears are valid! People living abroad have gone through a lot of traumatizing situations in an attempt to be a property owner in Nigeria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Abiola has been scammed twice just to buy a property in Nigeria. Firstly, it was an outsider, then, she felt she had overstepped her boundary by involving an outsider. Then, she trusted her relative to do better, unfortunately, she was wrong to trust a relative too. Her relative duped her as well. Mrs. Abiola made a decision never to trust anyone when it comes to buying a property in Nigeria. Can we blame her?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doctor Williams family lost all their savings and when they involved the Nigerian judicial system, it was learnt that the scammers bribed their way to freedom, leaving Doctor Williams stranded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jide from Cairo even tried to invest in a company, but, quite unfortunate, he got his money stuck in the company. He wasn’t aware that the company wasn’t a registered one before investing with them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These stories and many more can be quite discouraging most especially for someone not living in Nigeria to see things for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite all these, there are still Nigerians in diaspora that have properties here in absentia.

 

 

 

 

 

What did they do right? Let’s find out from Dennis Isong, founder LandProperty.ng

 

 

 

HOW DENNIS ISONG IS HELPING NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA TO OWN PROPERTIES IN NIGERIA STRESS-FREE

 

 

Question- can you please introduce yourself?

Dennis Isong- my name is Dennis Isong, founder LandProperty.Ng. I am a real estate professional and mogul that has all the experience, exposure, connection, tactics and wherewithal to help you do the following:

-Purchase and Sales of properties by linking you (especially if you are not in Nigeria) up with genuine property company, and monitor the transaction process. I serve as your eye and representative that sees to buying property which will not be a problem whether now or later. And also, guide you from getting duped

-I provide adequate information and direction concerning property purchase and sale in Lagos.

-My Real Estate company also does Property Education and Enlightenment.

-Being a Real Estate professional and mogul, I serve as a guide that can help you get property in Lagos, Nigeria.

-I offer free consultation services for anyone who wishes to invest in Lagos Nigeria but confused, uninformed and at a crossroad.

 

 

Question- can you expatiate on what you mean by property education and enlightenment?

Dennis Isong- thank you! Just about a year after I launched real estate business, I discovered that a whole lot of people carry on with wrong information and perception of the real estate, so, this has made them fall into wrong hands, make mistakes and lose so much money. And then, I thought and asked myself” how can I salvage this situation, how do I proffer solution to this?” Then, I came up with property education and enlightenment. It’s impossible to enlighten people just as you meet them because there are too many people that need to know the right thing. So, the best way to go about it is by using the social media which has the capacity to reach a larger audience.

 

 

Question- why do we keep hearing a case of property fraud in Nigeria?

Dennis Isong- like I explained in the previous question, lack of knowledge can be a great factor. There was a case that happened few years ago, a particular property has been going through court proceedings for a while without the hope that it would get settled anytime soon. One of the family members, the uncle of the original property owner who had died, was losing patience with the court, so, he decided to sell and run off to Ghana with the money. The buyer didn’t make his due diligence before putting his money on it because he trusted the seller due to the fact that they were from the same hometown.

Before I proceed, I would like to say this, when it comes to buying properties, take away every form of sentiments. Sentiment would pull you back from asking the right questions and finding out some blurry circumstances for better understanding.

Back to the man. He bought the land and this uncle didn’t even wait a minute before absconding. It was then the buyer discovered that the case of the land is in court and cannot be sold until it is resolved.

Although, the uncle was later apprehended in Kebbi state after two years. Imagine, a land sold in Lagos.

 

 

Question- How do we trust you? People have been scammed a lot, so, it’s important for people to know that they are not taking another wrong decision.

Dennis Isong –I have come across a lot of people who came and were afraid because of their previous experiences with scammers. Let me give you an instance.

There was a woman, I won’t mention her name but we do call her Alhaja. Alhaji gave us the most difficult time. The first problem we had with her was not trusting us. Nothing we said was acceptable and at a point, I told my team to let her be and work on her request. Our outcome will do the talking, not our verbal conversation.

I wouldn’t blame Alhaja though. When I am meeting a client for the first time, I love to always hear about their past experience(s) if they had any and chose to share. This is my strong style of connecting with a client.

So, she told me about how people saw that she was wealthy and had money to throw around. She explained how people took advantage of that and her being uneducated to have a share of her when she’s not a national cake. Family and friends had, according to the Nigerian term,” run her street. “This happened for 15 years.

But she is just a ‘stubborn’ person who is determined to have as many properties as she can lay her hands on. One of our clients recommended us to her but she can’t just trust us.

When we delivered, she was astonished. You need to see the look on her face! She then apologized to us and even gave I and my team some money for the weekend.

I have a lot of testimonies but won’t want to bore you. In summary, we have always delivered and will continue to do so. You can check our activities via the internet. Type my name on the search engine, I guarantee that you won’t find any negative review.

I am registered which you can find on google. I have been running the real estate business for a number of years now. My company has a track record of excellence with lots of testimonies which I will be willing to show you. If you want to find out beyond the internet about how genuine our company is, you can run your check from the Lagos secretariat.

 

 

Question – If I buy a property, can I pay by installment just to be sure that you are genuine because I know scammers like to get their money once?

Dennis Isong- A lot of people have brought property through installment and not allocated. There are companies that use that as a fraud and that’s why you need a Real Estate professional like me to help you filter all those companies who are not genuine in doing business in Lagos, Nigeria. I am coming in as an advisor to make you take the right decision. Yes, you can if the property company I am linking you to offers the mode of payment.

The main thing here is for you to follow my lead.

 

Question – How do people go about the documents when not available?

Dennis Isong – this aspect gets people living abroad so bothered. We once had a client who told us that she would get back after discussing and reaching on an agreement. We didn’t know that she was trying to find someone to help her to have all the papers done and get them sent to her. It took months for us to know why she went AWOL. So, I had to enlighten her concerning part of the services I render which is taking over the aspect of documentation and getting them across to her abroad.

In a nutshell, I offer these services especially for our clients abroad. Having your complete papers and sending them to you is not a problem.

 

 

Question – Can clients involve their own lawyer?

Dennis Isong – Yes, they can so far, the person is a property lawyer.

 

Question – Okay. If people buy land from you and decide to leave it to appreciate just to sell later, what assurance can you give them that such land would not be resold to another before the owner decided to sell it off?

Dennis Isong – that is why you need to buy from a reputable property company so that you will not fall into victim but if you buy land through omo-onile or an individual, it is advisable to take possession immediately by marking of territory. And this can be done by just building a simple, two-block fence round it. This advice is not strictly to my  clients alone but for everyone that has a landed property. Asides this, any land gotten through me cannot be resold to any other person. Whether you are in Nigeria or not, you will definitely meet your land at any time you feel like selling it out or building on it.

 

 

Question- how can Dennis Isong help Nigerians in diaspora safeguard their properties here?

Dennis Isong- first of all, this part is what I have done for people over the years. Safeguarding your property is not a problem. I can guarantee maximum safety on any property bought through my real estate company by the name “LandProperty.NG”. I and my team don’t leave your property just because you have paid and handed over to you. We also monitor such property.

Based on our experience, we make sure that we guide you through so you can buy at the right company. We make sure that we verify property and after, we make sure that you are allocated, get all your documents which will be sent across to you abroad.

 

LandProperty.ng is a property company that has been in existence for over five years. We have served people both Nigeria and abroad and they have all been satisfied with doing business with us.

We give you the right information. We don’t try to sugarcoat or being desperate to sell to you. Our aim is to give you the best and nothing but the best.

 

Apart from guiding you concerning buying your property from genuine companies, we also write articles to synthetize, educate, and enlighten people so that they can know what to put their money on. We have realized, over the years that people make mistakes because of lack of information, most especially dealing with scammers whom they thought to be genuine? How then do we address that?

It’s impossible to enlighten people as we meet them individually, that’s where our weekly articles come in. At least, this reaches more people.

If you by chance come across my articles, kindly like, comment, and share.

If you have been thinking about owning a property, I guess this is the time. Regardless of your location, you are rest-assured with Dennis Isong Founder LandProperty.ng : Contact 2348164741041,2348028667565

Fidelity Bank grows gross earnings by 38% to N434.95b in Q1

 

Fidelity Bank Plc recorded 37.9 per cent growth in gross earnings to N434.95 billion in first quarter 2026 as the international commercial bank continued to expand its core banking market share.

 

Interim report and accounts of Fidelity Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2026 released at the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) showed that gross earnings rose from N315.42 billion in first quarter 20025 to N434.95 billion in first quarter 2026, representing an increase of 37.9 per cent.
The top-line performance was driven by impressive growth in the bank’s core business operations with interest incomes rising by 22.8 per cent to N314.48 billion in first quarter 2026 as against N256.10 billion in first quarter 2025.

 

With net interest income at N180.97 billion, the bank closed the period with profit before tax of N92.48 billion. After taxes, net profit stood at N74.47 billion for the three-month period. Earnings per share remained high at N5.69, underlining the capacity of the bank to reward its shareholders.

 

 

The balance sheet of the bank also emerged stronger. Total assets crossed the N11 trillion mark to N11.35 trillion by March 2026 compared with N10.46 trillion recorded in December 2025. Customers’ deposits increased from N6.89 trillion to N7.38 trillion. Total equity rode on the back of earnings growth to a 27.5 per cent increase from N1.09 trillion in December 2025 to N1.39 trillion by March 2026.

 

 

The first quarter 2026 results further consolidated the strong earnings outlook of the bank, which had successfully completed its recapitalisation amidst impressive earnings performance in 2025.
Fidelity Bank had recorded double-digit growths in interest and non-interest incomes as well as key balance sheet items during the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

 

The audited report showed that gross earnings rose from N1.04 trillion in 2024 to N1.52 trillion in 2025, an increase of 45.6 per cent. Interest and similar incomes had grown by 38.7 per cent from N803.1 billion in 2024 to N1.11 trillion in 2025. Fees and commission incomes also rose by 44.7 per cent from N78.4 billion to N113.4 billion. The bank recorded net profit after tax of N242.4 billion in 2025.

 

 

The bank’s balance sheet emerged stronger with total assets rising by 18.6 per cent to N10.46 trillion in 2025 as against N8.82 trillion in 2024. Customer deposits increased by 16.1 per cent from N5.94 trillion to N6.89 trillion, reflecting continued franchise strength and an improved funding profile. Net loans and advances meanwhile declined by 2.4 per cent to N4.28 trillion in 2025 as against N4.39 trillion in 2024, attributable to customers paying down on their mature obligations.

 

 

The bank had in 2025 strengthened its capital position, with eligible capital rising to N561 billion, above the regulatory minimum of N500 billion for banks with international authorisation. In addition, capital adequacy had remained robust, with Capital Adequacy Ratio of 30.94 per cent by December 2025 as against 23.47 per cent by December 2024.

 

Managing Director, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said the first quarter 2026 results reinforced the bank’s strong and resilient business model.

 

She noted that with the remarkable success of its recapitalisation programme and continuing expansion, Fidelity Bank has entered a new era of growth and impressive returns.

 

“We are on a stronger footing and confident that we will set new growth records that are reflective of our legacy and the future we are working on,” Onyeali-Ikpe said.

Dangote Refinery Ends Nigeria’s Era of Fuel Import Dependence, Boosts GDP, FX Earnings — EIU

NLC Commends Dangote Refinery, Urges FG to Sell Adequate Crude in Naira to Reduce Fuel Prices

Dangote Refinery Ends Nigeria’s Era of Fuel Import Dependence, Boosts GDP, FX Earnings — EIU

The operational ramp up of the 650,000 barrels per day Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals is fundamentally reshaping Nigeria’s downstream oil sector, significantly reducing the country’s dependence on imported refined petroleum products and strengthening its external position, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

In its latest assessment on Nigeria’s fuel market and regulatory environment, the EIU said the refinery has already transformed a sector that was previously characterised by heavy reliance on imported fuel despite Nigeria being Africa’s largest crude oil producer. The report noted that the refinery met nearly 80 per cent of domestic petrol demand in April and produced enough volumes to satisfy local consumption requirements as operations approached full capacity.

The EIU described Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector before the refinery as “long dysfunctional”, noting that the country had remained almost entirely dependent on costly imported fuel while producing nearly 1.5 million barrels of crude oil daily.

According to the report, the emergence of the refinery has reduced import dependence, improved domestic fuel availability and strengthened Nigeria’s balance of payments position through lower import demand and rising exports of refined petroleum products.

“The gradual ramp up of the 650,000 barrel/day Dangote refinery since May 2023 has transformed Nigeria’s long dysfunctional downstream sector,” the report stated. “The country’s main refineries, all state owned, had been inoperative for years and Nigeria was almost entirely reliant on costly imported fuel.”

The research and analysis division of The Economist Group, London added that the refinery’s attainment of full operational capacity and its planned expansion would further support Nigeria’s economic growth and foreign exchange earnings over the medium term.

“Meanwhile, the attainment of full capacity at, and an increase in exports from, the Dangote refinery will support real GDP growth and foreign exchange earnings in 2026 and 2027 and beyond, as a planned doubling of the plant’s output comes on stream around the end of the decade,” it added.

Industry analysts said the refinery is increasingly positioning Nigeria as an emerging refining and export hub, altering energy trade flows across Africa and reducing the vulnerability associated with fuel import dependence.

The EIU noted that the refinery’s expansion has coincided with major reforms in Nigeria’s downstream sector, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the introduction of market driven pricing mechanisms.

The report, however, said the transition from a state dominated fuel import structure to large scale domestic refining has triggered resistance from interests linked to the old import regime.

The latest tensions emerged following the decision by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority to relax restrictions on petrol imports despite the refinery’s growing capacity to meet domestic demand.

Dangote Industries subsequently initiated legal action, arguing that continued import approvals undermine domestic refining investments and conflict with the objectives of the Petroleum Industry Act, which seeks to encourage local refining capacity and reduce import dependence.

Analysts noted that the availability of large-scale domestic refining capacity has improved Nigeria’s energy security and reduced exposure to external supply shocks and foreign exchange volatility.

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise also cautioned against unrestrained importation of petroleum products, warning that such a policy could weaken Nigeria’s industrialisation drive and discourage investments in domestic refining.

Chief Executive Officer of CPPE, Muda Yusuf, said continued dependence on imported fuel had historically contributed to pressure on foreign reserves, exchange rate instability and fiscal leakages.

The refinery’s growing impact is also being reflected in Nigeria’s broader macroeconomic indicators. Earlier this month, S&P Global Ratings cited increased domestic refining capacity and rising hydrocarbon exports among the major factors supporting Nigeria’s sovereign credit rating upgrade – the first in 14 years.

Beyond Nigeria, analysts said the refinery is increasingly being viewed as a strategic industrial asset for Africa, where many countries remain heavily dependent on imported fuel despite rising demand for transportation, manufacturing, and power generation.

BREAKING: Court Dismisses $19.6 Million Claim Against NNPCL — Rules Contract Scope Cannot Be Changed Orally

BREAKING: Court Dismisses $19.6 Million Claim Against NNPCL — Rules Contract Scope Cannot Be Changed Orally

 

In a landmark ruling on Friday, May 22, 2026, the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja threw out a $19.6 million lawsuit filed by Alternate Dimensions Ventures Ltd against the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), affirming a key legal principle: a written contract cannot be expanded through oral agreements or conduct.

Alternate Dimensions had sought $19,600,000 in professional fees, claiming the scope of its Direct Sale, Direct Purchase (DSDP e-pro) contract with NNPCL was orally expanded. Represented by counsel Patrick Peter, the firm argued it was entitled to the revised sum for services rendered under the alleged new terms.

But NNPCL, through its lawyer Ituah Imhanze of KENNA LP, pushed back sharply, arguing that parties are bound exclusively by the clear terms of their written agreement. Imhanze contended that without any written amendment, the claim was legally unsound, and the court agreed.

Delivering judgment, Justice Hamza Mu’azu upheld NNPCL’s defense, stating that the contract was unambiguous and that no evidence was adduced during the trial, which supported the alleged scope expansion. The court further found that NNPCL fully complied with all contractual terms and committed no breach.

Dismissing the suit as meritless, Justice Mu’azu reinforced the doctrine of sanctity of contract: any amendment to a written agreement must be express, unequivocal, and documented, not implied or verbal.

The ruling spares NNPCL from the S19.6 million claim and also a floodgate of similar potential liabilities.
