WealthGate Africa has marked its second anniversary with plans to expand land acquisitions and agricultural projects as part of its drive to promote asset-based investing among Nigerians. The Lagos-based investment platform, founded by financial coach and investor Mayowa Owolabi, says it aims to raise 1,000 African billionaires by 2035 through land banking, agriculture, and digital assets.
The company reports that it has registered more than 150 members in two years. Together, they have secured over 300 acres of land across Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo states. It also manages 50 acres of cashew plantations, which Owolabi describes as providing “sustainable cashflow” for members seeking income over time.
“Wealth is not a miracle, it is a system,” Owolabi said during the anniversary event. “We started WealthGate to help people who are ready to own their future instead of just working for money. We are proud of what we have done — but this is only the beginning.”
The company says it has delivered millions in investment value to members through structured opportunities. These are focused on agricultural expansion and real estate investment in growth corridors outside Nigeria’s largest cities.
To mark the anniversary, WealthGate launched The Wealth Plan Guide, a book written by Owolabi. It is aimed at working professionals and small business owners and contains case studies, insights on African banking systems, and strategies for growing through asset-based investments.
WealthGate also highlights its role in shaping financial culture. Its community activities, including monthly webinars and mentorship sessions, are designed to encourage people to see wealth in terms of ownership rather than income. “The future of Africa belongs to asset owners, not just salary earners,” Owolabi said.
The company plans to scale its agricultural projects into export markets and will hold a WealthGate Investor Summit and Retreat. For members, including those who now own farmland and plantations, the two-year milestone represents what the firm describes as the beginning of a wider mission.
“We are building a tribe,” Owolabi said. “A tribe that will change Africa’s wealth story.”
