My late father purchased land in Always Ibom 6 years ago. I recently got a call from a supposed co-owner of the land asking for more money, who claimed that the purchase was not final.😂 As an attorney in the US, I am used to documenting all transactions so the fact that my father made this purchase without any paperwork is disappointing, but understandable. I can only imagine the wahala I will have to deal with when I go home this Christmas 😒 And the said they have already planted plantain on the land🤣😂😭
The fighting looked looked rather jolly. I hope all these community 'leaders' and 'chiefs' actually commune and discuss these things with the communities they are supposed to represent, and some of that payment makes it's way to benefit the communities rather than lining chief pockets.
Thanks for your video, this is very informative ! I have farmland in Kobape with the documents done, I felt secure! With this new info it's time to take possession!
You have patience. Taking further notes. 📝 See. This is why I’m nervous about buying and managing land in Nigeria. You have to be smart and tactful. I’m too Americanized and would have come in there with a “Get off my lawwwwn!!!” type energy.
I completely understand. If you're not willing to go through all of this. It's best to just invest and buy from someone who has done the work to secure the land. It costs a lot more but it saves you stress
@@florenceisrael You are full of it and you sound ridiculous. Go back and read my comment again. I do not have to invest in Nigeria alone. I have investments in two African countries that are safer than Nigeria. I can invest my money anywhere I want. Think deep before you post a stupid comment.
Chai dealing with Omonile customary owners of the land is no joke. They will resale your land when they are broke. Some of us believe in 9ja abeg where can pikin order that T-shirt? Great content!!
We Live Nigeria So Much. Even Though I Have Traveled To Nigeria 2 Times In Over 30 Plus Year From USA 🇺🇸 Pandemic 2020 Was An Eye Opener For Some Of Us That Use To Say That We Will Never Go Back To Nigeria To Live. My Parents Moved Back To USA In The 80s With Me And 6 Of My Siblings Back To USA From Lagos Nigerian 🇳🇬 6 Of Us Just Start Buying Lands In Lekki To Start Building Our Retirement In Nigeria During The Pandemic. Our Parent Are In Their 76th Year And Still Living In USA 🇺🇸 They Refuse To Move Back To Nigeria Full Time. They Will Go To Nigeria In December For Like 3 Months And Run Back To USA 🇺🇸
I'm not Nigerian, I'm Trinidadian. I believe I was stolen from the motherland because most everything about Nigeria intrigues me. The good, the bad and the ugly 😄
hahaa same here. I am intrigued by it all. its time for you to come on home. At least to visit. It is a heck of an adventure. I will tell you. You will feel moments of joy, hopefulness and happiness and you will also feel moments of sadness and frustration sometimes because of the stte of our leadership . you will feel it all.
Hi Bayo, I am one of your followers who is very happy watching what you do, can you please let me know the government fee to survey 2 acres of farmland in ogun state.

Did you actually buy the land from the family or local chiefs in the first place (including anybody who is actually in this video) or from someone else? If you would have waited until the harvest season was complete do you think you would have had these same problems? Do you have family in that area or is it your ancestral hometown? Are most of your workers from that local area? Have they given you a list of demands telling you what you must do for the community or are they happy to simply just accept payments in the form of cash? What would you do differently if you had the chance to conduct this process again?
Lots of questions. I would answer the ones that are important and related to this video / #1.) simple answer is we buy directly from family but engage the chiefs and baales throughout the process. #2.) From experience, yes! waiting till harvest season hasn't made a difference . they intercrop other things before the other is ready to harvest. smart farmers. we are actually waiting. we didnt clear their farms. we just cleared a path through it. we are giving them 3 months notice. Thsi was a good way to know who owns what. #3.) No demands on what to do for the community. but monetary things . we want to do stuff for the community though. but this is not a requirement. #4.) I wont do anything differently. except do what i am doing a lot sooner.
