money speaks pilot edition1.pdF

From the table you can see how the American dollar
has depreciated in “real” value i:e purchasing power
by over 25 times. For example, what $1 dollar could
buy in 1900 now requires $25 dollars, or to put it in a
real scenario, if you wanted to buy a house which cost
$1 million dollars in 1900 today,
it will cost you $25 million dollars.
Many people seem to believe
that the more “paper” money
they have in their bank accounts,
vaults, mattresses and safes, the
more economically secure they
will be and yet that assumption
couldnt be further from the truth.
Paper money is not wealth, it is a
means of exchange which means
that it can be used to purchase
wealth. So if paper money isnt
wealth then what is?
Wealth is any asset which has the inherent ability to
maintain its value over several generations. The greatest
form of wealth known to Man is “land”. It was
Mark Twain the famous American poet who said and I
quote “Buy land because they’re not making anymore
of it”.
In communities all over the world the value of land
continues to increase from generation to generation.
What your Grandfather paid for a plot of land in 1930
is certainly not what you and I would pay for that
same piece of land today. So if land is valuable then
so is anything built
upon that land. This
now leads me to the
ultimate wealth preservation
vehicle “property”.
The demand for
housing in Nigeria far
outstrips the supply
and this is what has
fuelled the exponential
growth we are seeing
in the real estate sector.
Houses which were
sold last year for N20
million naira are being sold for N40 million a year
later. It is an open secret that Nigeria has one of the
fastest growing real estate sectors in the world and this
is just the beginning.
With a teeming young population which makes up
75% of our 180 million population, the growth in the
real estate market has only just begun.
