I have noticed that due to the perceived agricultural boom our country is experiencing lots of people have gotten interested in going into large scale agriculture and thus high demand for large acres of land.


Most dubious individuals have seen this as an opportunity to scam individuals of their hard earned cash.


The advice I'm about to share here is for individuals or companies that want to purchase land in Edo state.


*In as much as there is availability of large expanse of land in Edo state,most communities are very unwilling to sell as what is mostly available is "reserve community lands".


*I have seen ridiculous adverts here claiming to have 700acres for sale,pls make sure u do thorough investigation before purchase as most of such adverts are scams.


*No INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY can sell large acres of land,don't be fooled.Make sure u meet with both the Elders and youths of the community and reach an understanding and agreement before purchase.


*Make sure the land you intend to buy isn't a disputed land or encroaching into other community lands.


*Make sure every transaction is well documented and recorded.Make use of video recording for every meeting and transaction.


*Always ensure you meet with the Community head and try to get the history of the community.


*Please ensure that the community has no issue of hostility.Some communities are not amiable due to the attitude of it's indigins.This might make doing business in such community quite unpleasant.


*For communities intending to sell,please note that most might ask for the provision of some basic amenities for the transaction to pull through.E.g.Borehole, employment of certain number of youths at all times,etc.


*Please make sure you do a land survey and CofO as soon as possible. If you don't have adequate cash to do a CofO,endeavor to do a land survey.


*Most documents available when purchasing large acres of land is community paper or certificate.


*Above all follow your instincts and intuition.


NOTE-Lands in Edo state is very fertile and suitable for the cultivation of a wide variety of crops.It's a very peaceful and amiable state with very hospitable people.
