“The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself”
…Douglas MacArthur

Contrary to popular opinion, the $1 billion Eurobond offering has demonstrated that the international investment community has a strong market appetite for Nigeria.The bond was oversubscribed 7.87%, in spite of the volatility in emerging and frontier markets. This shows a commendable degree of healthy confidence by the international investment community in Nigeria’s economy.
If the international investment community has seen beyond the recession and perceived policy challenges, perhaps there are pockets of opportunities tucked in the economy which might only be obvious to the discerning investor. The astute investor who deliberately observes and digs deep stands the chance of “getting lucky”.
The first and major lesson learned from the $1 billion Eurobond oversubscription is that this market still has the capacity to deliver with the right yields.
This is a great time for smart Nigerians in the diaspora to take advantage of the favourable forex disparity and make sound investment decisions in favour of Nigeria, particularly in the real estate sector.
Most real estate offerings do not currently reflect the weight of the prevailing inflation in the economy, and therein lies the opportunity. Astute investors should take full advantage of this low pricing structure to ambitiously and aggressively invest in Nigerian Real estate especially in Lagos where the bold vision of the successive leaders have become a backdrop for economic stability and future growth.
Fine and Country is championing carefully selected pockets of real estate opportunities in the current ‘mixed signal’ market. These opportunities are parallel realities- recession on the one hand and the opportunities on the other hand. These realities are no alternative truths but palpable reality.
