We are actually going to make Kenya part of our Nigerian pilot, as Kenya has such a tradition of crowdfunding and such a tech savvy population, it is a natural connection to reach out to Kenya. Stay tuned :)

You're doing gods work. The work that you're doing there is may change the course of an entire nation, maybe even entire continent. Since you mentioned crowdfunding, the main question is are you profitable in the long run? As in you don't just spend the investors money away then turn to another crowdfunding.
Thank you very much for the kind words :)
To quickly address your question, the local entities will always be NGOs to protect the locals' interests. If we don't have local NGOs, it could enable a wave of neo-colonialism. What our system will do will prevent foreign "ownership" of property, but only investment and return on investment. Many of the development issues in countries like Ghana have come from foreign investment being non-existent due to lack of government oversight. The Bitland infrastructure will always work with a government to ensure that the transactions are legal, and by proxy of using blockchain technology transparent and uncorruptable.
