Please I need Verifiable Sources; I mean sources I can verify. And I need no timeWasters please.

Thank you so much for these comprehensive responses. God bless you.

Let's say I want to buy up to 100 plots,

1. What is the best way to take possession of the land? By first fencing the land ASAP. then either working on it OR if not ready to work, plant cassava there BUT you must FENCE it.

2. Can I get up to such a number of plots in Ado-Odo-Ota? If not, like how many plots do you think I should start thinking? You should be able to, though would be inside. Forget getting such quantity close to main road except out of sheer luck

3. How does Adron source for their land everywhere? Perhaps if I know the template of how these estate builders go about land acquisition, I can follow it too. Well those ones are more like PoliTicians. MeanWhile, I am not in that industry so can't tell for sure BUT can say for a fact, they've got very deep pockets, and have numerous quality contacts.

4. How do I get land very close to the main road so I don't go inside. I always avoid it. You need have very very deep pockets, then make your request, and be ready to really do your due dilligence which is a MUST here because for such, it's easier getting Swindled here. Getting land very close to express or major road no be moimoi. To even get land wey be cornerPiece for good street sef no cheap. Left to me, would suggest you forget it, enter inside BUT try to avoid over inside BUT for the quantity you seem to be looking for, would be somewhat difficult getting such closer to major roads.

My plan is to build workers' quarters and a personal apartment there. Also hostels for volunteers and farmers who come for training. I actually intend to rent out some of the spaces per planting session. I think many farmers will show interest in renting soil with life. This is my speciality now. I put life in soil. Me would say start small and grow. All these plans might seem feasible in theory but practically might fail. Most farmers understands how to cut costs. Cassava farm wey you go spend 1-Million naira cultivate, most wouldn't spend up to 500,000 naira to achieve same or even better.

But I don't have time to cultivate and supervise large expanse of land because I have a very busy schedule. So, renting it out is the option I am considering. And then buy the produce at farm gate price. To best of ma knowledge, investing funds, when you don't have at least 80% time to run or monitor things speels doom. People no dey thief to remain for owner Ooo.

It will take like 2 years after land acquisition to achieve this because I have to work on the land first. So, how do I secure such land while I work on the soil? All buildings will start 2 years after the soil is OK. Can I still secure all the plots? You MUST FENCE it. Secondly you could go the extra mile getting the necessary papers such as CofO or Governors consent.

Why should I avoid buying land in an estate?[/b]I personally don't like that due to their rules and regulations, among other things such as FEEs.

[b]How do I go about buying from omonile in Ado-Odo-Ota?
Just locate any agent or landLord within an area BUT just becareful sha.

Could you highlight steps to find genuine omonile? To best of my knowledge, I don't think there's any laid down rule othert han liaising with someOne who has successfully patronized them before; possibly a resident landlord.

And after making inquiry behind them, what are the next steps to take? if you're OKay with outcome of your investigations / enquiries, and you equally sure the said land is not in conflict either at the moment or previously, then ensure to ask the sellers all the available documents they have for you, most times they might tell you the land has Survey but in real sense it's often a global Survey. If it has survey which it should, get a copy of it, and investigate further to ensure it's got no ties with the government, or in dispute.


ensure you have money to do perimeter fencing even if it's just 5-coaches. if you don't have funds to do foundation, just plant cassava inside it and have someone within the vicinity but not in anyway related to them to help you monitor the farm.

Alternatively, if you can't afford doing fence, you could skip it but ensure you do Foundation, and please don't just dig a single foundation. dig foundation everywhere to spoil the ground else those people don't mind selling half or quarter portion of your plot of land.
For example, say the land is 1-plot, rather than just doing foundation for 3-bedroom, equally do foundation for shop on the opposite side of the land hence if the house foundation is on the back left, the shop foundation should be on the front right ELSE nothing stops them selling the remaining half.

if said land is in acre(s), then you definitely need a perimeter fence. and if not ready to utilize said land, turn it to cassava farm.

Mind you, doing CornerPiece, doesn't protect the land in any way. All it does is indicate boundaries.

When buying land, taking immediate ownership is key. Leaving it for as little as 1-month could be more than enough time for them to act.

As for doing foundation, you really don't have to do complete foundation; you could do just 2 coaches even when you need more than that. What matyters is that work has started.


if buying more than 2-plots, and in an area you think might need investigating, you could do what I call cheap Survey - you survey the land without filling it. Should cost less than 20,000 naira or now that cost of transportation is high, could be more. Basically entails the Surveyor coming to the site, taking the necessary readings, and going to their office to check things out.

Basically entails the Surveyor coming to the site, taking the necessary readings, and going to their office to check things out.

Also please, never give work to those who sold land to you. Not even to those related to them. Source for your own bricklayer, labourer, etc. You could source for labourers within, but for bricklayer, get them outside the community. You could even go 2 major bustops away to get them. Ignore all recommendations no matter how sweet they might seem.
Also never pay money to workers upfront. they might be quick to ask for advance payment but never do that because some don't mind going with just 20% of the total amount charged.

Stay there or assign a family member to stay with them, and only give them money when work is complete. You could equally make friend with a landlord within (actually, a lot of them would want to make friends with new commer), give like 50% of the total money, and instruct him or her to only pay when you instruct to release the money, or if they personally checked to see the work was done as desired.
As for the remaining balance, you pay that yourself when you come and see it yourself. reason being that, even despite leaving instructions, the person could still release the fund to the person and claim ignorance that they thought it's been done or something along those lines. A lot of people irrespective of their age, no dey get shame.
