Lagos is a port and the most populous city in Nigeria. It is the second fastest-growing city in Africa and the seventh in the world. The population of Lagos according to the Lagos State Government, was 17.5 million. These figures are however disputed by the Nigerian Government and judged unreliable by the National Population Commission of Nigeria. The latest reports estimate the population at 21 million, making Lagos the largest city in Africa.

Lagos is a metropolitan area which originated on islands separated by creeks, such as Lagos Island, fringing the southwest mouth of Lagos Lagoon while protected from the Atlantic Ocean by long sand spits such as Bar Beach, which stretch up to 100 kilometres (62 miles) east and west of the mouth. From the beginning, Lagos has expanded on the mainland west of the lagoon and the conurbation, including Ikeja (which is the capital of Lagos) and Agege, now reaches more than 40 kilometres (25 miles) north-west of Lagos Island. Some suburbs include Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry, and more local councils have recently been created, bringing the total number of local governments in Lagos to 57.

Be careful in this Locations when buying land , make sure you take your time to investigate this properties thou there is no place you cant be duped or the land seized later by the state government but ill be listing the places with some few information about the places like their origin etc

We want to thank Omo Onile Lawyer for this Investigation that revealed this Locations

Beware of Fraudulent real estate agents

Ibeju Lekki
Beware of buying land in ibeju lekki from just any real estate firm, some of the lands in Ibeju Lekki have incomplete or no approval from the state government before real estate firms start selling them. Most fraudsters will claim to have sold a lot of lands to prospective buyers, they'll sweet talk you with the fact that very soon the caterpillars will come to the land to clear the place and de-liminate the roads. A Lawyer reveals that when asked what accompanying document they have, they'll say and they that they have applied for the gazette and the excision is under processing at the Land registry at Alausa.


Badagry
One has to be very careful if you must buy any land in Badagry, because many lands there are either under Government acquistion for either tourism or other purposes. You don't want to fall victim to Land scam artists selling land to unsuspecting people. Recall that the Nigerian Police demolished over 500 houses for building on their lands sold to them unsuspectingly by Land fraudsters.

Cooperative Villa Badore
here many defective lands at Badore Here it will shock you as to how the local touts called 'Omoniles' will forge a deed, survey plan and claim the land falls under the Badore Excision, beware for most of the lands fall within the Cooperative Villa Government Scheme. Its quite sad that often these crooks go unpunished and one can only feel pity for those who have ignorantly purchased lands there, because they would never have the opportunity to perfect their documents.

Ikola Ipaja
There is a land here in which the said owner claims is hitch free. They'll show you a survey plan mapping the whole area in their name including receipts. But a deeper insight will show that the land offered for sale falls within Ipaja New Town Scheme. It is recommended that one always watches out for the red-flags when land acquisition is involved.

Ifako Gbagada, Kosofe
The agents of this particular lands located off Adegbenro street in Ifako, are really forceful and would threaten buyers to pay up quickly to be able to secure the land. Investigative Lawyer reports that his client was to pay about N20Million for that plot of land, but was wise enough to conduct a search.

Badore Ajah
Badore has lands that can be very tempting to purchase, but it is shocking to know that of all the beautiful houses surrounding Badore, very few people have good documents, hence most land owners there live in fear. The trouble is that Government might come any day to demolish what one has built over the years, for this reason Allied Gardens must be properly investigated before you make payment.

was a victim. I bought in 2016. 600k . Excision in progress. Till today no movement in title or allocation. Buy those with cfo they usually start from 5m to 20m . Excision in progress technically means they are in process of applying for the land from government ownership to indigenes ( who have already sold it to the real estate companies- the indigenes are too poor to pursue the stuff). One hell of a big scaaaaaaaamm in that zone . Later got to know after i had bought lol

For Lagos State, it may be better to buy flats/apartments completed or almost completed with owner having his C of O. However, for young generation folks(especially) if it cost much to buy houses in Lagos, move to Ogun State and buy from Omonile-free estates and get your documents from them.

Though some people are not comfortable with land still undergoing excision (Excision in process)

But there are Estates with already approved Excision that can be verified at Alausa, Ikeja. The only thing is price of land with approved tittles are more expensive compared to those undergoing the process of approval.

Definitely, I'm consulting for some notable and reputable real estate companies with wonderful Estates in Lagos and some other States across Nigeria.

While consulting for those Companies I've also registered my real estate company with Corporate Affairs Commission (Limited Liability Company), so our clients can be comfortable to an extent while dealing with us.

Even at this so call Ibeju-Lekki I've helped people both at home and abroad to get land in an Estates without any issue whatsoever from any angle and I'm still committed to that.

Presently at Ibeju-Lekki, the price of land per plot varies from 700k, 850k, 1.5m, 2.7m to 15m. It depends on current tittle documents and locations.

The plan of the clients for the land, budget, financial strength and preference will determine what the clients will go for.

But as far as I concern, I don't hide any information away from clients and all available offers will be presented before the clients in order to go for any that suit their preference.

The agents of this particular lands located off Adegbenro street in Ifako, are really forceful and would threaten buyers to pay up quickly to be able to secure the land. Investigative Lawyer reports that his client was to pay about N20Million for that plot of land, but was wise enough to conduct a search.

Badore Ajah
Badore has lands that can be very tempting to purchase, but it is shocking to know that of all the beautiful houses surrounding Badore, very few people have good documents, hence most land owners there live in fear. The trouble is that Government might come any day to demolish what one has built over the years, for this reason Allied Gardens must be properly investigated before you make payment.

No Sir, It is the lagos state government under Fashola that said lagos population is 21 million.

How can the FG who have never done any form of population census for 14 years give u the population of Lagos, grin.




Secondly, reason this...


Anambra state - 600k votes in presidential election.

Lagos state - 1 million votes in presidential election.

Anambra population 4 million.

Lagos population over 21 million (2015).
