Twice he was asked how he would confront the Security situation and solve the CHIBOK girls issue once and for all and twice he deflected the questions and waffled continuously about the failings of the PDP government. That makes no sense to me. Everybody knows the PDP government have been very slow to act and have failed in that respect but why flog a dead horse when you as a Military man and former head of state cannot proffer better solutions. All I was expecting was for him to say " my government will do so so and so to curb the insurgency" or " I"ll do so so and so to get the CHIBOK girls back ASAP" Finish. He hasn't convinced me that he is better off than GEJ in solving this issue, so he doesn't get my vote in March, rather the IDES OF MARCH would be waiting for him like Caesar.

And this is coming from someone who contested for the presidency and had just 1 vote in the entire Country? SMH. Even his own family and street rejected him. Why should anyone take what he says seriously? If I was a Buhari fan I would really be worried with the kind of losers endorsing Buhari

Can i tell from the survey if a land is genuine?

Nope because that's a perimeter survey of a section of the village in question. From my limited observation of this survey plan I discovered the following omissions:

1. No date

2. No name of the surveyor who drafted it

3. No free from Government acquisition stamp

4. No survey plan number

Hello, Lawyer. I wrote to you a few days ago but have not heard anything. Can you please drop me a line? Thanks

Sorry whats your number or email so i can get back to you

How did they come about the new payment plan structure? Was it stated in the contract of sale that such modifications should be expected in future?

Seventi:
Dear Lawyer, I wonder whether you can help me? I am trying to buy a piece of land at Lekki, and the agent assures me that it is legitimate and that I should go ahead with the purchase. But after being stung twice before, I would like to proceed with more caution, and engage the services of a professional such as yourself. Would you be able to help me? If so, please let me have your email address so that we can discuss further. Thanks.

send me a private email to info@omonilelawyer.com and we would take it from there. You wont be stung in Jesus name again by the time i am through with those land fraudsters! Amen

Nonsense! With a All the grammar and fun facts you posted here about the Itsekiri people, how come they are crying everyday that they are been marginalized by the Urhobos who hold virtually all the top positions in Delta state? If the Itsekiris rule all the tribes in Delta, what would the Urhobos say? It's your type of idiotic post and senseless comments that led to the last Ijaw v Itsekiri and Itsekiri v Urhobos war that engulfed Delta state 10 years ago. All tribes are equal in Delta and you should be promoting unity in Delta instead of fanning the embers of hate.

Please can a lawyer be in possession of his/her client original copy of c of o.

Yes it depends if the owner through a power of attorney gave the lawyer the C of O to hold on his behalf

I see alot of childish and silly comments from people who don't know Akin Alabi or generally have distrust or cold hard beef for politicians and cannot separate hardworking successful men from professional politicians. For those who dont know Akin Alabi, you can go to his blog www.akinalabi.com to see the kind things he has been doing even before he decided to become a politician. Firstly he is a motivational speaker and successful author who has coached thousands of people to become millionaires and successful people and i count myself lucky to be one of the people opportuned to meet him to advise me. He doles out millions of Naira weekly to youths to inspire them to be succesful and gives them seed money to start a business that they aspired to own without demanding anything in return. He has created alot of wealth by employing thousands of people around the country by opening franchise stores of the Nairabet sporting company and sponsors alot of sport shows, youth activities and events because its in his blood to help people. Akin has always been a Millionaire even before he started Nairabet and has always helped people. Akin Alabi has supported so many enterprenuers here on Nairaland that i know of and if you do something good, he will support and patronize you. He bought a 2013 range rover from Inspired autos from the auto section here on Nairaland and paid him alot of commission. With his wealth and expertise, why didn't he contact an auto dealer outside Nairand? He did it so as to encourage people like Inspired and other auto dealers on Nairaland. When he buys his lands or houses, he contacts Agents in the property section to look for properties for him and omonile lawyer to assist him with his paper work. Why didnt he call other lawyers or SANS to do it since he has the money and influence to do it?

He is very active on Nairaland and instead of Nairalanders to be happy that one of their own is finally contesting and support him, you are here pulling him down and insulting his political aspirations. Later on you would be the same people insulting Government that they do not listen to the youths or provide employment when for the very first time, you have a direct link that can be of help to you because he has both the ears of the cries of Nairalanders and the Federal Government. This has nothing to do with whether he is PDP or APC. Bottomline he is a Nairalander like you and he deserves your support.

Akin Alabi is my friend in whom i am well pleased in and i wish him the very best to succeed in his chosen endeavour and will support him just the way he advised, counselled and supported thousands of us to become successful when we lost our way. If you are jealous of successful people who have shown love to people to become successful without demanding anything in return, you would never be succesful and will continue to beef successful people like Akin who would only grow more successful to help other people. ( No be swear . . . Na true Talk)

Eluala:
Lawyer,
Thanks for all the good information you provide. Please I have a question for you. I have a property with registered deed of conveyance. If I sell it to someone else, will a simple transfer of ownership together with the deed be sufficient to close the transaction or do we have to prepare another deed in his name?

Yes sir,

A deed must be prepared in his name too.

I don't think linda ikeji understands the ramifications of what has happened. Let me break it down for her and her LIBS to advise her well.

1. She operates a gossip site so she is exposed to a lot of libelous suits from disgruntled celebs. Because she hosts her website on blogger, any law suit must also attach blogger as a defendant for encouraging it. Blogger has tried to distance it's self from any potential copyright or intellectual property issues and I won't be surprised that they played an active role in reporting her to google.

2. Linda Ikeji has collected Thousands or Millions of Naira from Artists, celebs, musicians, companies and people to advertise their products or services on her blog. In exchange for the money, she is to guarantee them continuous exposure of their ads. Non compliance of that agreement could lead to a series of law suits to recover money or for specific performance which she cannot provide now because the lindaikeji.com site has been deleted.

This is not something she should take with kids glove because a lot of people are out for blood and money spent for show off could be aggressively recouped through serious litigations. If she doubts it, she should look at the history of napster or Bohemea. Why she couldn't open her own domain name and design her own website after blogging for almost 10 years is baffling.

Read this:

Consider yourself warned: If you’re operating a blog on Tumblr and the site receives a complaint that you’ve used copyrighted material, it can -- and will -- shut down your account, erasing everything you’ve ever posted.

That’s exactly what happened to a popular blogger who goes by the name Bohemea. When Tumblr shut down her account in June, she lost five years of work -- more than 100,000 posts across two separate blogs. Tumblr did this because over the past two years, the company had received five complaints from copyright holders who said Bohemea had used photographs without permission.

Bohemea, who asked me to use only her screen name, says she would have been happy to just take down the five images for which Tumblr received a complaint ... but instead, Tumblr deleted her entire account. Worse, Bohemea claims other Tumblr bloggers have been similarly wiped out.

Bohemea’s blog wasn’t aimed at a business audience. Her blogs were about fashion, art, and photography, and some of her content was of the "NSFW" (not safe for work) variety.

All her articles, pics, info, adverts etc could be wiped out completely just because she refused to spend $20 to get her own domain name.

I don't know why people are comparing Nairaland with LIB. I have been on NL for more than 7 years, met so many wonderful and very wealthy people i might add, started my Land verification business www.omonilelawyer.com from the comments and topics i garnered from their posts and comments and made a living from the good people i have met on NL. Would i have been remotely successful today if i spent all my time on LIB instead of NL?

Also i attempted to advertise my omonilelawyer brand on LIB and i was sent a bill of N300,000 to advertise with her. Why would i advertise with her when most of the people i am not targeting are people interested in Tonto Dike or what Wizkid or Davido is wearing. I have spent over N300,000 Advertising on NL and will still spend more because its addressing my immediate needs and potential customers who are very wealthy intellectuals but silent commentators who come to Nairaland to learn alot about the happenings in Nigeria, how to improve their business and gain knowledge on all spheres of Life. What does LIB offer that would improve people's lives or livehood? I know so many people who have used NL to become Millionaires over the years because they see NL as a veritable tool to push themselves out and succeed when there was no other available medium to do so. Could they have made it if LIB was the only source of News and information?

Besides how many people can afford 300k per advert if its not a company sponsoring it? The small 30K SEUN IS GETTING PER FORUM SECTION IS MORE THAN THE 300K LIB EXPECTS PER WEEK FROM ONE CORPORATE SPONSOR.

One more thing, when Nairaland crashed, do you know how many people's businesses suffered coupled with people home and abroad who couldn't get their daily dose of news and information? If it was LIB that crashed would anyone lose sleep over it?

Just because Seun does not make noise with his money doesn't mean he isn't wealthier than her. He is a Multi-Millionaire and prefers to keep it to himself like most smart business men would do. He isn't in the business of flashy gossip or attending every owambe like Toke Makinwa or Linda Ikeji. He doesn't need it and would not be swayed by it. Its that simple. So there is no comparison between them to know who is bigger and who makes more money.

Finally why would you believe that Lie that Linda Ikeji would buy a range rover for N24Million? Isn't that stupid? Why would you buy a car for N24Million and not own a Home in Ikoyi or Lekki phase one worth over N240Million? I know she says all these things to boost her site but smart hard working people should read in between the lines and not fall for these gimmicks.

NL Rocks

jman77: hello lawyer! if one want to acquire hectares of land,what document is required of it?

Get in touch privately with me to tell you.

That's not hulk hogan. Hulk hogan has a Mustache but no beard. This guy has a beard. Hulk hogan either wears a red or yellow bandana with his silver hair flowing underneath. The guy in the picture has no silver hair but has brown hair and is wearing a brown bandana. Hulk hogan will never wear dark shades, rather it's a colorful shade to match his yellow or red hulkamania tank top. The last time he wore it was during the NWO days. Hulk hogan will never wear an Adidas sponsored black t-shirt. His hulkamania tank top brand is what he would rather wear to promote the brand because he can easily rip it off to show his biceps. Finally that's not the WWE belt. His championship reign was over 10 years ago and WWE would never release their belt for a campaign promo not involving WWE. Bottom line that's a fake wannabe Hulk hogan imposter probably trying to garner support for one of these kind of Bash Ali Independent Circuit Wrestling tournaments holding at the national stadium featuring Power Uti.

odare24: Omo Onile Lawyer... We can't thank you enough for the service and great favour you are doing us nairalanders and others. May God bless you immensely! You definitely deserve an awards for this service. Thank you. I intend to buy a plot of land at Spring View Estate Mowe...do you have any known issue about this particular Estate... Thanks.

No sir but we can investigate them for you. What would you want done?

cyborg1:
Let me get this straight, do you mean that all leased and assigned land has 99years termination period please?
Please speed up your service extention to other states in - south east and south south please.

Yes every lease has a termination period that must be renewed when the time comes whether it's 3 years or 99 years. Also the link you sent me is not linking to any specific property.

pboy247: @ lawyer, thank you so much for the clarification, but i i think the lease assignment termination date is based on your agreement with your landlord and what is written on the agreement signed by him on the day he sold the land to me? the agreement is well known to me that the termination date of the land is 99 years which is still the normal way it is been done in Nigeria through the land act..what do you have to say on this?

@pboy

If it's a 99 year lease then your safe and you can go ahead to process your C of O. Goodluck sir.

@cell2me2

Sorry this service is only open to those in Lagos now. If I get someone at the Rivers department of Survey I would get in touch with you.

Cheers

pboy247: thank you for the information, but i bought a land in enugu state, it is a communal land shared among the villagers with a certificate of allocation , so i bought from a member of that village and he issued me the certificate of allocation to that land showing that he is the rightful owner to that land, so i was directed to the general surveyor who surveyed all the lands for the whole community to then provide me the exact survey plan to my land, getting there, he asked me of the certificate of allocation, so i presented it to him, he then checked on the master plan he is having there in his office and then confirmed the name of the villager on the certificate with the master plan and allocation file in his office and said i bought a genuine land, then i can now pay him for the surveying plan to my land and after 3 days, i should come back and take it from there and i can then proceed to the community lawyer to write me a lease deed to my land, then with the lease i can then go to the ministry of lands to get my c of o, so i am asking is that a normal process to follow? please enlighten me more

@pboy

Everything looks okay up to the part of the community lawyer drafting you a deed of lease. Why a deed of lease and not a deed of assignment? A lease has a termination date and i don't know how long that lease will last before it reverts back to the Villager you bought it from. Please try and clarify this all important issue.

My grand mother was a victim of this exact thing in Warri when she bought a land back then but was given a lease of 33 years in the deed of lease. She did not see anything wrong with it but after 33 years the original owners through their descendants approached my mom and her sisters to fight for the land to be reverted back to them despite the huge mansion that was erected on it. Today they are demanding for over N 100 Million for that land since the lease has expired and it's causing a lot of furor and bad blood among all parties especially my extended family leaving in fear of that dreaded Lease agreement. So please make sure you check that issue out before it destroys you in future.

Cheers

Submit Your Requests for Land Verification here and please keep it civil. Cheers

A Nairalander 3 weeks ago requested a search on a Governor's Consent which on a normal day is a very sure land to buy because it has been registered at the Land Registry but due to past experiences, i have seen how Governor's consents have been manipulated to deceive a prospective buyer. We decided to do a search at the land registry and our search showed that the Governor's consent which has been attached below was properly registered but i wasn't convinced especially as it deals with lands in Ajah. When we did a survey search to confirm the authenticity of the Survey plan in the Consent, our search report showed that the land was located in Orile Ibamo Village Badore and the land falls under LEKKI ACQUISITION hence the land isn't free from Government Acquisition.

When the seller heard the result, he wanted to die because he bought 8 plots in that place and the surveyor he hired to do the survey plan deceived him by drafting a survey plan that did not correspond with the reality on the ground to show that it was a bad land. He deliberately falsified the Survey plans to show that the land wasn't under government acquisition so that unsuspecting buyers would not notice it.The Seller was even encouraged to do the consent for the 8 plots and he spent Millions to perfect a fake and false Governor's Consent. We felt sorry for him and wished we could do something to remedy this scam but we had to warn the Nairalander not to buy the land and stop the transaction immediately.

AMOUNT SAVED: N8MILLION

Don't Fall Victim to that area> Do a Land Search and protect your life savings

I will start off with this Search done early this month requested by a Nairalander who intended to buy a plot of land at Ifako Gbagada. We asked him to get us any document from the Seller to show ownership of the land and the Sellers where so confident that their land was okay and sent him a copy of the perimeter survey of the land which has been attached below. When we went to the site to take the coordinates directly on the ground and compared it with what was given to us on the survey plan, the report showed that the whole area falls under the MENDE ACQUISITION. Meaning the Government has acquired the whole area for its Mende Project and the land does not belong to the purported seller. Anybody buying this land will face alot of problems at the Land Registry to perfect their documents. Instantly we advised the Nairalander to stop the transaction and look for another one.

AMOUNT SAVED: N10MILLION

Don't Fall Victim to that area> Do a Land Search and protect your life savings

So you believe Okoye and Ayila are 19 years old? lol Why must you cheat to win a tournament for 19 years old? Its even more shameful when you do everything to cheat in an examination and still fail. Despite Nigeria using very very very old women to win a teenage competition, they could not beat them. Disgraceful. That's why this country will never progress. You blame PDP or APC but your encouraging cheats like Sunday and Nwosu to continue cheating. Why would God allow cheats win?

[size=18pt]Protect Yourself very well before you buy any Land by conducting a Land Verification Check to avoid being a Land Scam Victim for Free for a Limited Time Only!!![/size]


We all know buying a Land in Nigeria more especially in Lagos is one of the most frightening task to embark on due to the prevalent rise of Fraudulent Land Sellers, Counterfeit Land Documents, Dubious Real Estate Agents and the Deceptive sales of other people's Lands to unsuspecting Purchasers by these organized syndicate of Land Scam Artists hereby Leading to an emotional, mental and financial torture of the Buyer due to the lack of information of the proposed land the buyer intends to purchase.

Most Buyers do not know the Status of the Land they want to buy, the Documents the alleged land owns, the Genuineness of the assumed Land owner or Owners and the Position of the Law with regards the peaceful transfer of Land from one Person to another.

With this in mind, i have decided to help Land purchasers save millions of Naira to conduct free land and documentation searches to verify true ownership of the owner and title documents so as to avoid being victims of Land scams subject to the following Terms and Conditions:

[size=16pt]FOR EXISTING LAND OWNERS:[/size]

1. If You own a land or have bought a Land before and you are not sure of the Status, send me a copy of the Survey plan and we would do a check to confirm whether the Survey plan is authentic or not based on the coordinates taken from your survey plan only

2. If You have a land with a C of O, Consent or Gazette and you want to confirm the authenticity of it based on the information given to you in those documents, send me a copy of that document and i will check it out for you to know the status of your land and how you can remedy it if there are inherent defects in it.

[size=16pt]FOR INTENDING LAND PURCHASERS:[/size]

1. If you have any document of the prospective buyer such as the survey plan, C of O, Gazette etc, You can send the documents here for me to verify individually for you but you have to realize that since this is a free service, there is a greater degree of scrutiny that should be applied to prevent fraudsters from duping prospective Buyers. This would require a premium service to validate true ownership of the land by going to the land personally, meet the owners physically, investigate and scrutinize every aspect and facet of the land in question and may take days or weeks in some situations. I would have to determine who is eligible for this Service so as to avoid time wasters and people that are not really interested in purchasing lands but are on a fact finding mission.

2. For those that want to buy Lands that are being marketed by Real Estate Developers, you can send me a copy of the contract of sale to analyse for you for free only but because of the inner intricacies involved in buying into an Estate, this would require a premium service and i would determine those that are eligible for this servicee.

All search reports will be published here and This service is only open to Land owners/buyers in Lagos due to the limited resources of manpower and finance involved but as time goes on i might extend it to Ogun State and beyond.

why are these old cargoes crying? After cheating? See all these Teenage German girls compared to these Nigerian old mama youngies. God will not encourage dupes and cheats that's why they will never win this competition till they repent and use real teenagers

30 year old women with children masking as 19 year old girls being beaten by small 18 year old German teenage girls . . . lol How shameful and disgraceful! Why bother to cheat when you can't even win it! Glad they got what they deserve! Moral of the story: CHEATING DOES NOT PAY

Nigerians will get what they deserve for using over aged players to play against small girls. How can somebody tell me that Ayila, Okoye, Sunday or Nwosu are 19 years? Mscheewww! I hate cheats and as long as you encourage these over age cheats to win small boys or girls in U-17 or U_20 competitions, your also contributing to the destruction of the Senior team because when the chips are down for them to perform at the World cup or Olympics when it really matters, they would already be in their 40s.

Personally i have tried to get across to your people on 3 different occasions in the last 2 weeks and they are the most unprofessional set of people i have ever met. I wanted to perform a search on behalf of a client here on Nairaland and contacted the numbers they put on their thread but they refused to cooperate with me and show me the valid documents Lashone estate has that gives the estate its credibility. They kept promising to send the documents but did not do so. I don't want to call Lashone estate a fraud but the people working for the estate are definitely giving the estate a bad name.

Thanks for this information. Can you give us a vivid description of the place to help potential owners and friends of owners of such lands to hurriedly go there and sort it out? I will also find time to go and investigate what is happening there. These Omoniles always use a stupid court judgement to reclaim people's lands but the moment an appeal judgement is given, they will disappear and refuse to refund the money they have illegally obtained through their idiotic ratification fees. As long as it is not a Supreme Court judgement the judgement they are brandishing holds very little leverage and potential land owners should be vary wary of these schemes and be advised accordingly to fight these scoundrels back forcefully.

voltron: @lawyer.. hope your schedule is less busy now

Yes my Oga, I am back with full force now. Thanks
