A look into PWAN’s business empire—revealing how the company has empowered thousands through affordable land ownership, not investment fraud. Learn what makes PWAN/PWAN Max a pioneer, not a Ponzi.
The Rise of a Real Estate Pioneer
In a country where land acquisition can be a complex, expensive, and sometimes fraudulent affair, one real estate group has stood out for its ambition to democratize property ownership: PWAN/PWAN Max Group.
With a unique model that has empowered over 1,000,000 individuals across Nigeria and beyond, PWAN/PWAN Max Group—through subsidiaries like PWAN Plus, PWAN Haven, and more—has successfully built a real estate empire grounded in transparency, affordability, and entrepreneurship.
This article explores the growth, values, and vision of PWAN/PWAN Max Group, debunking the misconceptions and separating facts from falsehoods in light of recent regulatory debates.
A Humble Beginning: Vision Born from Experience
PWAN, which stands for “Property World Africa Network,” was founded in 2012 by Dr. Augustine and Mrs. Jane Onwumere. The couple had experienced first-hand the struggles of acquiring property in Lagos—bureaucracy, land grabbers (omo onile), and fake documents. Their goal was simple but powerful:
“To make home ownership a reality for all Africans.”
From one small office and a handful of land consultants, PWAN has grown into a multi-brand conglomerate, owning estates in Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, Asaba, Port Harcourt, Uyo, and even overseas in Ghana and the UK.
PWAN’s Core Mission: Empowerment Through Property
PWAN’s real estate empire is built on five strategic pillars:
- Affordable Land Access
Land is offered in both urban and developing areas, with prices ranging from as low as ₦500,000 to ₦10 million per plot. - Flexible Payment Plans
Clients can spread payments over 3 to 24 months, making it inclusive for middle- and low-income earners. - Commission-Based Empowerment
Thousands of Nigerians have become landowners or financially stable through PWAN’s network marketing model, which rewards referrals with commissions. - Infrastructure Development
PWAN doesn’t just sell land; it develops estates with roads, drainage, power plants, and recreational zones. - Legal Assurance
Every plot is backed by land title documents, from Deed of Assignment to C of O.
Subsidiaries Under the PWAN/PWAN Max Group Empire
To better serve diverse demographics and locations, the group operates over 20 independent subsidiaries, including:
- PWAN Max now PWAN Max Group – Known for affordable land in Lekki, Epe, and Ibeju.
- PWAN Prime – Offers higher-end estates with modern amenities.
- PWAN Plus – Focused on developing large-scale city projects.
- PWAN Legend, Haven, Heritage, and Stars – Regional specializations with various development focuses.
Each of these operates semi-independently but follows the same business ethic: land for all, powered by trust.
The Impact So Far: Numbers That Speak
- 300+ estates acquired, developed, and marketed across Nigeria
- Over 1,000,000 clients served
- 100,000+ land allocations delivered with legal documentation
- Over 1,000,000 agents trained and empowered nationwide
- ₦100 billion+ in land value currently under management
This scale is unmatched in Nigeria’s private real estate sector, but a force of real value creation.
The Real People Behind the Real Estate
PWAN/PWAN Max is not a faceless entity. It’s a people-first company led by visionaries and built by everyday Nigerians.
- Dr. Augustine Onwumere, Group Chairman – A thought leader in entrepreneurial education.
- Mrs. Jane Onwumere, Group Vice Chairperson – Known for her motivational leadership among women in real estate.
- Subsidiary CEOs – Young, energetic professionals managing PWAN Plus, Max, Prime, and others.
Together, they represent a new generation of business minds who blend traditional property development with modern marketing and technology.
Training & Empowerment: Creating 100,000 Landlords Annually
One of PWAN’s most celebrated initiatives is its free training programs:
- Real Estate Business School – Where thousands learn the ropes of land sales, documentation, and client handling.
- Agent Incentive Schemes – Including cars, vacations, and house rent bonuses for top-performing agents.
- Youth Programs – Collaborations with NYSC, universities, and youth groups to introduce them to ethical real estate practice.
These programs help build career paths in property, not investment traps.
Estate Development Approach: Beyond Selling Plots
PWAN/PWAN Max is also a full-scale developer. Many of its estates feature:
- Road and drainage systems
- Estate fencing and gatehouses
- Electricity connection plans
- Recreational spaces
- Schools and health care facilities
This adds long-term value to client investments and distinguishes the group from roadside land sellers who abandon buyers after payment.
