Lagos, Nigeria, is a port city built across a series of islands, with numerous sandy beaches in its vicinity as well as opportunities for boat trips and water sports. You can rent chairs, raffia shades and beach huts at most of the beaches in Lagos city, which all charge a nominal entrance fee, and some offer rentals of surf boards, jet skis and pedal boats. Tarkwa Bay, accessible only by boat. Boat trips to Tarkwa Bay depart from jetties in town and take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the boat. The beach is popular because it has some of the gentlest waves in Lagos, ideal for both swimming and learning to surf. Be prepared to wade through the shallows when your boat arrives at the beach; the alternative is a piggyback ride.
Research other sources of funding. Only a few Nigerians know they don’t have to bear the burden of having to own a home all by himself. With so many financial institutions in the country all offering some kind of home funding. If you pass the mortgage requirements in Nigeria you can apply from any of the mortgage institutions in Nigeria. Read the contract before signing. It is imperative you read any contract before you sign it, the same goes when you buy a house. A house is probably the largest purchase you will ever make in your life, so make sure you understand the terms of your contract. If you don’t understand any of the terms, ask a professional either your realtor, agent or mortgage broker. If they won’t explain the terms clearly to you, fire them; there are enough people who will be more than happy to help you and work for your business.
