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 .
