It happens.

Once needs to always ask for Omo onile receipt when buying land in Lagos.

I used to think Government CofO was strong without Omo onile receipt, until it happend to a client of mine in Ogudu. The client had to pay to the family before they could possess their possession even with CofO.

Now I always make sure I ask for Omo onile receipt along with CofO etc

Na negotiation and settlement they need.

Some people in Delta state will be buying land without family receipt from people who are not even family.

Just wait your time is coming, the real family are coming ... Better seek the real families of these land before buying land from bastards.

Ransome-Kuti and a few others are from Abeokuta and not Lagos. The Brazilian sounding names are returnees. The English names are Yoruba Lagosian with Awori roots with old family links to Lagos Island, but they embraced Christianity or Oyinbo names. They all have their own Yoruba family names. Oyinbo used to give names by profession too. So some of those English name allude to profession of ancestors when English people landed in Lagos.

These are descendant of slave returnes that does not mean yorubas of lagos does not have real yoruba name and surname , aworis no de bear all dese latin and English names x and ijebus and egun were earlier yorubas and orginal settlers , all there returnees are saros and they integrated back to the lagos population back then when they returned back

Kirikiri town , is not in apapa LG nor Ajeromi ifelodun LG its in amuwo odofin LG , dont know why they keep addressing it as Apapa ,

Apapa is a bit further from kirikiri town taking the apapa oshodi expressway to tincan liverpool that the real Apapa .

all these names are slave returnee names. When they were released from slavery they were given some money and repatriated to Liberia and Sierra Leone from where they found their way to Lagos and were richer than everybody because white man compensated them a little and then they used all that money to buy Lagos land up. And so all these are not true lagosians. Just the richest black expatriates after slavery who bought up Lagos land and they also came back with some skills so they were of a higher class than the local population hence why they all became famous . Some came from Brazil too

Most of whom are actually returnee slaves from
Oyo, ilesha etc sold as slaves and who on return settled in Lagos.

If you are a returnee slave you are 100% not originally from ijebu or Lagos. These places NEVER had their indigenes sold as slaves.

For example Herbert Macaulay’s returnee grandfather was from Oyo. Darochas are from Ilesha etc.

Are you Slawlomir, because you guys talk and reason the same way.

jmoore:
Most of the landlords in that area are still Yoruba people.

Everywhere, is it the Ipob lies here on nairaland that you are listening to, all over Lagos most of the landlords are Yoruba, I know because I am one of them apart from the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land so there are more Yorubas in Lagos state.

Not true. Load of bullshit you wrote there. Yoruba going to Brazil knew who they were and not all were returned slaves. Yoruba were going to Brazil for trade and education. Some were free in Brazil, made money and came back. No Oyinbo will give you any money as a free slave. The slaves amongst them paid for their freedom and came back home.

These families own Lagos Island and a lot of land around Lagos. A lot of their kids are abroad so thieves pretending to be Omo Onile are selling these lands. Most people are living on stolen land.

Ikaeniyan0:
The owners of the building should negotiate with the family

That's the only reasonable steps. Either ways, the original owners are in for unending cash

lexy2014:


I think they recently did one in Surulere.

If the present occupants of the land didn't steal the land, why are they being forced to reacquire the land?

Intra-family tussle. Look at the respondents i.e. people who sold the land initially & you find out the names are basically the same with the new beneficiaries. It's the fault of the crooks within the judiciary who sell judgements and also prolong cases in exchange for gratification.

This being the digital age also, if the thieves running Lagos agreed to digitize the lands registry it would be easier for prospective buyers to avoid properties with such problems in their title documents

ConfidentialDoc:


Yes.
What where they thinking before. ?
That it is no man's land ?

Lol.

But what if it was sold to them genuinely by government?

LG tv 65 inch
For sale

It seems that you are not understanding what he said. He didn't explain in detail so it is understandable.

All land bought and registered under the land use Act grants a 99 year lease to the owner. The ultimate owner of the title is the state. In this case Lagos state. When that lease expires, Lagos is entitled to refuse yo renew it and or to grant that land to the original owners or a third party.

Meaning no one absolutely owns land in any state - all you have is a long lease. Only people with freehold titles are exempt.

Also all land compulsorily acquired in the past by lagos state especially under military governments is being returned to its ancestral owners irrespective ofvwhom lagos state has distributed it to since then.

Big lesson. The best place to own multi generational real estate is in your own state.

i have researched this thing very well case in point the Vaughn family who had many generations in America but in the mid 1800s the man decided he wanted his generation to grow up in Africa so he found his way to Sierra Leone before eventually choosing Lagos Nigeria and then his children married into the Yoruba tribe and one of his grandchildren was the first black medical doctor in Nigeria etc etc

Not true. These families own their land for perpetuity and Lagos State Government is helping them lease and collect rent via tax. They owned these lands before formation of Nigeria government and any laws on land ownership.

"While the respondents are Mrs. Stella Adedoyin Shonowo, Mrs. Bukola Amusan, Mrs Adetokunbo Vera-Cruz, Lawrence Oluwatoyin Reis, Ms Taiwo Shyleon, Ms Winifred Cardoso and the probate registrar, High Court of Lagos State Justice Jumoke Pedro"

Who buy the land or house in that area buys trouble

Ok. It does not apply to everyone on that list. 99% are Yoruba and the returnees are Yoruba too. Tansome-Kuti found his way back to his village in Abeokuta. Many on that list like that from Ogun and Osun state. Not all on that list are Lagos names. Freestuffs just added all the names she knows. Most of those returnees were mature when they left and came back older, with knowledge of their villages and even family member they left behind. So they did find their way back home and started contributing to their ancestral land tremendously.

2mch:

Not true. These families own their land for perpetuity and Lagos State Government is helping them lease and collect rent via tax. They owned these lands before formation of Nigeria government and any laws on land ownership.

What part of what I said is untrue? Is the 99 year lease under the LUA a lie? Is it a lie that the governor can refuse to renew consent?

The families you say own their lands for perpetuity are simply those with unregistered freehold titles. I spoke about this too.

If you are acquiring real estate aiming for your descendents. If we take a generation as 30 years then it means that the title is safe for 3 generations plus and after that reversion to the state kicks in based entirely on the governors perogative and he can do what ever he likes with that perogative.

What's false about this.
