Nice package and very innovative, but my country Nigeria isn't mentioned. How about us over here?
I think we will have to research about the property financing options we have here if any. I think the housing crisis is everywhere and projects like this will go a long way in addressing the issue. I wish it covers us.
This is really nice, offa is financing people's property and making it easy for them, i like the fact that it's also beneficial for non -muslims too.
Yes its a kind of inclusive fintech product. The world needs this kind of flexible housing finance products. There are too many homeless people even in our country. I wish there are more Offa's in every city.
i love the idea, i wish they're are also in our country, i believe they'd make alot of positive changes in the society.
Thats true. I will research about options in our country and see if there are similar services.
It looks quite interesting and beneficial for both the Muslim and non Muslim communities to take advantage of Offa for their better tomorrow. A nice package.
