HOW TO BUY A VIRGIN LAND IN NIGERIA 

Would this lawyer be willing to share his contact?

There’s no such thing as virgin land in Nigeria. All land belongs to the government/ state government due to changes in the law around 1978. The government recognises that ethnic nationalities/ tribes unofficially lay claim to what they perceive as their historic ancestral Land and so will make it easy for these tribes to Officially (Legally) own their land. To own their land legally these tribes have to go register the land in government house and receive a Certificate of Occupancy. This register is called the gazette. The Gazette records the land belonging to the tribe and the land the government kept for itself. Tribal land registered by tribes (gazetted) and for which they receive Certificate of Occupancy is safer to buy than unregistered tribal land. The reason why tribally gazetted land is safer to buy is due to the fact that when tribes go to register their land the government sometimes don’t let them register all the land, the government sometime keeps some of the tribes land for itself. The part of the land government reserves for itself is called LUGA or Land Under Government Acquisition. The part owned by the tribe is said to have been Excised to them by the government and they receive Certificate of Occupancy. If you ignorantly buy from the Tribe a pieces of the land that government reserves for itself (LUGA) you run a high risk of loosing the land when or if the government decides to use the land at some point in future. You can still buy land reserved by the government for itself if you make official enquires and the government lets you know that it has no plans for the land and that you may buy some of it (Excised or cut to you). If the government lets you buy this land you’ll be given an Excision, it will be registered (gazetted) and you’ll receive a Certificate of Occupancy title. If you buy land from the tribe that the tribe registered with government (gazetted) and for which they received a Certificate of Occupancy the tribe can also issue you their own Certificate of Occupancy title since they legally own the land. Note that the process of Tribe, Community, Companies, individuals getting land officially endorsed to them by government through government Excision, Gazetting and receiving certificate of occupancy is long and tedious. It requires Tribes, Community, Companies, and Individuals and so on hiring layers or sponsors etc who will then lobby the government on their behalf. Even when government is ready to listen and do what is asked of it, Tribe, Community, Company, Individual etc will need to have all the necessary officials present at the Land registry and Surveyor Generals office. The government will then need to send its representatives to the land to establish relevant beacons and demarcations that separate the land government want to keep for itself from land that Tribe, Community, Companies, individuals etc are Claiming (tribe/Community) of wanting to purchase (Companies individuals etc). This period can be classified as Excision in Process and could take a very long time ,

Section 1 of the Land Use Act serves the function of "eminent domain" in the UK where even freehold property can be revoked for "public purposes". Certificate title is "prima facie" evidence of ownership. My point is virgin lands are safe to acquire in Nigeria.

This was super helpful. Thank you for sharing this gold. This should be a course already or a book.

Hi Bayo Your channel is educative on real life situations thank you for letting it all out Thank you I am knew here

This lawyer is very professional and went all in details. Not a lot of them around

Great information! We appreciate you taking the time to educate us. I'm definitely looking into purchasing my own land. I'm currently in America.

It would be a good idea to give the land prices.

Very informative, thanks for sharing

Bayo, you should do a video about the history of land in lekki like the lawyer mentioned at 30:00 I think it will be very interesting.

I wish you the best with this purchase. Buying land I Nigeria is so risky. I know folks who lost land to military officers. Oh well. Things have to get better, so land ownership is standardized.

Hey good day Thank you so much for the information Please can your lawyer share his contact ??

Ever since I found out about the Land Use Act 1978, I've been wary about buying property in Nigeria. Any land purchased is never really yours and can be grabbed by the government at any time. The maximum tenure you are allowed to occupy that land is 99 years after which you (or your children) will have to re-purchase it from the govt at a new "unspecified" rate.

Thank you for the information. I got your email and you will be hearing from me. Stay blessed

I really want to be a part of this Bayo, please what’s the process? I’ve not been able to see the previous video you mentioned. I wish I could talk to the lawyer guy. I have a land and I’d like to sell it. Wonder if he could help me with the process. Thank you.

Share your lawyer information: Good for his business

Where’s the land located in ogun state

Can you share the contact details for the solicitor.? We are trying to conduct verification for some land in lekki area. A big issue in Nigeria is that people try to sell off land receive payments for lands that they have no legal rights to.

How can I your lawyer's contact? For further information... please.

Please, where is the location of the land in Nigeria?

How can I by landing in American money
