People are so silly in this country . DO DUE DILIGENCE on any property you want to buy . It will cost you some money but it is better to be safe than sorry .

I’ve seen this play out so many times and it saddens my heart that people still don’t learn . There are government agencies that will save you from such heart aches with just a visit to their offices .

@OP - Ignorance is not an excuse . Hope you will learn

Contact this lawyer fast in Abeokuta. I don't want his name written here. If you want to save that house or get handsomely compensated, you need a lawyer who has worked in the civil service of the state. Send WhatsApp via my signature below, and I'll send you his number.

Delay can be dangerous.

Any money I see from now on I will just leave this shit hole Country for good.

There are no signboard of government acquisition, not everyone knows where to go about these things, this is my second land investment going down the drain ��

Government will not put any signboard on government acquisition lands, next time before paying make sure a genuine surveyor charted the land at the state ministry of lands before making any payment, you can still go ahead to do a follow up yourself to be double sure, then it is always good to have your red copy survey and building plan to avoid story that touches the heart like this. Peace

there was a man like that too in Kaduna. After years of working abroad he retired to settle in KAduna. SO there wont be any issue, he went to the ministry of Land and actually followed due process to get his land and started building. he was almost finidshed when the government came to demolish his house. The same people that approved of the sale of the land were the same guys who went to demolish it. THe man just packed his family and went back abroad
This country self.

Another problem is because of the land use act of 1978, that gives government control over all lands in Nigeria, no one ever technically owns their land.
Government can do what they want, and it's not necessary you even get compensated.

The God of Chosen is your ultimate solution. He has done it for many others whose properties could have been destroyed but God of Chosen intervened. Many miracles of such abound in Chosen.

My advice is contact me privately, I will give you my GO. Daddy's number. Call him and tell him your situation. He will pray a short prayer. And the angel of God will go to work on your behalf.

If you choose to take this step, you must decide that you will come to Chosen HQ and testify was God has done for you. Because you should not eat God's glory

The reason building in Nigeria, is like seeking landmines in a military bunker......... You would surely find plenty........


Proper record keeping and charting, at a land registry..... Would save impending heart attack situations.........

I bought this land last year and developed it this year, Still paying some debts I owe cause the money I had couldn't take it to roofing level so I had to borrow to complete it once and for all.
I'm still praying for God to provide so I can pay off debts and get money to roof the 3 bedroom flat when I received a call from the person I put in charge that people from the ministry of housing are about to demolish the whole house in that area in 7 days.
As I am right now I'm not feeling alright, I don't know what might happen to me if this eventually happens cause na my life savings I put for there.
Property located in ifo/arigbajo Ogun state.

God that provided that one for you will provide another.
You might feel pained today, but remember today is not forever.
Seek a lawyer with others so it becomes a class action.
May God see you thru in Jesus name. Amen

Thread seen...

When are we going to stop calling this man Charly BOY. If he is older than Jagaban then he can no longer be a boy. He should just leave those boyish things to the Boys. I think he is a grand father if I am not mistaking. I also think we should start calling Tinubu JagaBOY instead of Jagaban.

Going to court on this matter is an abuse of court process. Let's be blunt. Some people sold land under government acquisition to the innocent guy.. he should find out from the relevant government office (ministry of physical planning or surveyor general's office) if the land is under general acquisition (in which case MAYBE he can repurchase the land from government (called ratification) or committed acquisition which means the land has been committed by government for a specific project in which case it can not be repurchased from government.. I suspect the land is under committed acquisition but he should find out which it is..
The only remedy that may eventually be available to him is to seek damages from those who sold him the land .
He should've applied for land information about the land from surveyor general's office before purchase.

Omihanifa:
Two options are available in my own opinion

All of you should go to court and secure an injunction as soon as possible.

Or

You can also gather others and lead a protest to the government House or office so that the government can help you guys out by allocating another plot elsewhere

I empathize with you as it’s a very difficult situation...but, it’s false to conclude that, it is not possible to know before acquisition, if a land is government owned or free...

Most likely you did not do a survey or went to the government office with your survey to search their records....even in high cost area like Lagos, it cost about N70k to hire an omonile lawyer to give you the facts about the land.

I believe you bought the land from omo onile. This is why as a real estate consultant I advise people to buy from real estate company. I also believe you didn't do property search before buying the land. Even if you take the government to court you will be wasting your time and money because the government will win and they will demolish your house

Solution
Find out whether that land is a committed land. That is whether it is a land that the government has set aside to build something on it. If it is then my brother there is nothing you can do about it but if a land under general acquisition you can go ahead to do what is called ractification(i.e regularizing your title document)

To everyone else please if you intend buying land from anyone ensure you do Title and property search to avoid stories like this.

Lolz seriously I am not a suveyor, I am a farmer and I do help setup farms so I know how painful it can be if deligence background check is not properly done on any land before making payment. So it is always advisable to have your red copy survey, this will let you know the purpose of the land you are buying be it residential, commercial, farming, government acquisition e.t.c.
