Meet Adebola Ogunbayo — a journalist and public servant.
In 2014, while working on a press committee in Ogun NUJ, she met Dr. Babatunde Adeyemo, CEO of Pelican Valley.
At the time, she had zero capital. 💸
What if we told you that you could start a career in real estate without investing a kobo?
That’s exactly what public servant and journalist Adebola Ogunbayo did—and today, she has earned over N7 million in commission, with a property to her name!
Her journey began in 2014, not with a land purchase, but with a simple connection. While serving on the Press Week Committee of the NUJ (Ogun State chapter), Adebola met Dr. Babatunde Adeyemo, CEO of Pelican Valley Nigeria Ltd.
“I never imagined I’d be called a realtor,” she recalls. “I had no capital to invest, but I kept following the Pelican Valley projects.”
Though unable to buy into the estate initially, Adebola stayed close to the vision. Instead of walking away, she began recommending the project to others, earning generous commissions along the way.
“He taught me how to canvass for subscribers and promised commissions even higher than industry rates,” she said.
Fast-forward to today:
✅ Over N7 million in commission earned
✅ Funds reinvested into her own property
✅ A proud landowner—all without spending her own capital upfront
Her story isn’t just about money—it’s about vision, persistence, and integrity.
In the words of Dr. Adeyemo:
“She’s a living proof that you can start in real estate without capital—just integrity and goodwill.”
🔥 Thinking about real estate? You might not need money. Just the right mindset.
