A young man known as Emmanuel on TikTok has spoken about investment and how to build a steady stream of income.
In a short video, he stated that buying property in Nigeria is not a good investment. He said that the only time one can do that is if one does not need the money. He said:
"If you have a business that has the potential of giving you money, invest your money into your business, forget building house, pay your rents. Manage the rent, stay there, build the business..."
Build cashflow
Emmanuel stated it is better to build cashflow first. He revealed that he once sold a property and invested it into his recycling business; a decision that yielded much profits.
