Real Estate Investment in Nigeria

with Debo Adejana

Mark This Date And You Will Thank Me For It.

Posted by Debo on November 17th, 2008

Hello Friends,

No! “Chi zira zira” (whatever will be, will be) is a mirage. Whatever will be, will need your cooperation otherwise…….. I believe that this is an opportunity that you should not miss. I do not mince words to tell you that it is an opportunity that if you do not take a part in today, you will hear about it again and again from people that should have been hearing it from you.

I do not get overjoyed suddenly on a new initiative. I always like to weigh the pros and cons, though am not a laggard by any means but am also not really a first mover either. I prefer to do my due diligence, something to assure me that I am taking a personal decision that only me can be held responsible for. Experience has taught me to be my own man. Like somebody put it; I like to be responsible for my responsibilities. So, when you hear me get charged about a scheme, know that I am 100% for it. I’m sure you are curious about what opportunity this is? Read on.

It’s IFA Nigeria. IFA Nigeria is barely 3 months old in Nigeria and it’s making waves and breaking records already. IFA Nigeria is an offshoot of IFA South Africa, which is the business opportunity arm of Clientele Life Insurance Company in South Africa. IFA South Africa has on the merit of a network marketing model for promoting Life Insurance, has managed to build one of the biggest and most sustainable Network Marketing models in the world. With over 10yrs in sustained operations and over 2.3million premium payers -IFA is a concept that will change the landscape of Insurance business in Nigeria. Their underwriter and partner in Nigeria is ADIC and Diamond Bank. Professor Pat Utomi was the first person to tell Deolu Akinyemi (my up-line) about IFA. It was at the January 1, 2008 Launch of New Nigeria Club. He asked him to visit South Africa to learn an interesting approach to network marketing that the South African company had developed.

Today, IFA Nigeria though barely 3 full months in Nigeria has over 40,000 members. That’s very far from zero, but much further from the possibilities of over 2million premium payers. The train is moving, but it’s far from it’s surge. The best time to join is NOW!

We have had someone due diligence on the opportunity. He went over to their office, secured an appointment with who is who and began the journey. It’s one of the most structured and organized network marketing businesses that I have seen. You can only join after you have been to a presentation, and not just anybody can present. You have to be selected, and go through a rigorous accreditation process to become worthy of presenting the IFA opportunity on behalf of the company. Just two weeks ago, my up-line got a text message that he has been accredited as a Business Facilitator for IFA Nigeria. This means he passed the examination and presentation assessment sequel to days of training by IFA South Africa. It shows that it I work at it as I intend to, I should be earn the accredited status soon. It also means that we (myself and my upline) are well positioned to support our dream of building the biggest global team of IFA here in Nigeria. We have IFA No 1 as our direct upline, and we have all the support we need to build a MEGA Team.

On November 22 by 3pm prompt using Realty Point Limited’s training facility, we shall be sharing this dream on a more personal, eyeball- to eyeball basis. The text and emails have already started going out and the response is huge and encouraging. People are fired up, ready to roll. The fire is fast spreading across Nigeria, Benin was launched some days ago, same for Warri, what this means is if your people are in any of these places, all you need to do, is invite them for the IFA Business Opportunity Meeting in that Region.

What exactly is the business opportunity with IFA?

Let me spell it out a bit like this.

1. The product is Life Insurance, not the conventional wait until you die life insurance, but a life insurance with living cash back benefits. This means you get to earn while you are alive. It’s also important for people to have life insurance, if we are forced to insure our cars with third party, we should use our church mind to insure ourselves.

2. The Network Marketing Model ensures that you earn monthly. What you earn is equal to a percentage of the premium of your downlines. You actually start earning after you have 5 premium paying referrals. You earn 10% on your first generation, 20% on second, 20% on third, 7.5%, 3.75% and 2% respectively on the 4-6th generations. (Even though there are people in Nigeria earning in 7 digits already, the company is conservative and will tend to only showcase those who are starting small, but earning consistently) my upline earned the first month he joined…and it’s just a few days ago.

3. God forbid that anything happens to an IFA policy holder, the beneficiary will not only get the insurance cover, but will get the IFA last monthly salary times 12, plus the same value as a monthly salary for the next 24 months. This is just one of the benefits, and what it means is that being an IFA makes provision for your family when you are alive and when you are in the hereafter. When it happens like this, sweet is the memory of the dearly departed.

4. As an IFA you are not an insurance agent, neither are you a financial adviser. You are an Independent Field Advertiser. All that is required from you is to invite your friends, family and loved ones for the IFA business opportunity presentation. When they take up a policy and pay their premiums, you also get to earn.

5. In Nigeria the race has just began, the number 40,000 gives us an idea of where we currently are. The number 2.3million in South Africa, gives us an idea of the potentials of where we will shortly get to. South African don’t have either our passion for entrepreneurship or our drive. The fact that they have sustained operations for 10yrs is also an attraction for me, it’s takes a good and established business to cross the 1yr talkless of 10yr mark.

Our vision for the IFA team we are setting up is to surpass 100,000 members. To have at least 10 people that are Club 10,000 members, to have hundreds in club 1000, and many successful members. We intend to lead this nationwide alongside IFA1 – I have ready presentation opportunities already. The way the network works, it pays me to support my downline as I earn less on my first generation than I earn from my second and third generation.

What we have done already is make sure that we develop a system online for receiving interests and arranging our team. While everybody will work towards getting their referrals, we will work as a team to support each other. All you need to do is send for the form ASAP (N150), fill it as quickly as possible submit it with the payment of your first premium (it’s preferable if you pay for 6months to 1yr). That way, we can focus on the business together and not have to be bothered about paying premiums directly for a long time. You will also need to send us the names, emails and phone numbers of 10 people we can help you follow-up on directly on your behalf that you want to be your first level referrers. As a team, we can help you with this follow up. As a corporate Nigerian, if your company is already managing a life insurance policy for you, you can own one for yourself. As an entrepreneur, nobody is responsible for you, you can be responsible for yourself.

If you are getting this mail or reading this post within seven days of publication it means that you have a chance of being in our team in it’s early days. You will get a list of names on this mail indicating the originator and the sender that sent it you to.

Join us in securing the futures -our future and that of our families.

Many thanks!
