Who Actually Owns Land In Nigeria? by ShoProperties(m): 6:56am On Sep 18, 2017 |
This happened a while back. I think I was in Primary five at the time. My dad told me of how we used to own the property behind our house; demarcated by a fence. I remember wondering how exactly a person can own something and then not own it anymore. I asked if he had sold it to someone else. This was the only logical reason I could come up with. He said he hadn’t but that the property was just taken from us. This got me thinking about how exactly property is owned in Nigeria. Precisely, what do you have to do to fully own property (land as it is popularly known) in Nigeria? In fact, can you fully own property in Nigeria? When there are issues pertaining to ownership of property in Nigeria, how are they resolved? What steps do you take? 7 Likes 1 Share

When there is a dispute as to who owns which portion of land, both parties that contest the ownership of the land have to prove their ownership through any of the recognized ways of proving ownership of land in Nigeria. There is no point arguing in vacuum when there is a recognized way of proving that you own property. Any of the following can be put forward by any of the parties as evidence of ownership of the property in dispute: Traditional evidence Production of documents duly authenticated and executed (i.e. signed) Acts of ownership extending over a sufficient length of time numerous and positive enough to warrant the inference of being the owner. This means that you must show, through various transactions you have carried out on the land, that you own it. Acts of long possession and enjoyment 4 Likes |

devindevin2000: A harmless question was asked but all you could do is to bring in tribes to goad a tribe war. People like you are the most scoundrel set of people to ever walk this earth and it's insults to those of us looking to make this world peaceful. You must either be a teen or a failed adult who blamed the majority for his/her failure and your only solution in life is to hide behind the dusty keyboard in your "face me I face you" squalor and spew hate for all to see how shameful you are to not only your family but the entire clan in large. My advice is to go brush your teeth, take your bath and go hawk something to keep you busy instead of starting a hate war online. Don't be among the '67' but try to contribute to this world so that in the end you won't kick the bucket frustrated and have your tombstone named "here lies a goat who achieved nothing in life and still nothing in death". 51 Likes 7 Shares |

God owns all the lands, and those He gives it to. In terms of administration, the Government is in charge. |
