Why Builders, Developers And Real Estate Agents In Lagos Are In Trouble by Sadwaste: 8:31am On Nov 26, 2023
My friend who is a real estate developer in Lagos was complaining bitterly to me that business has been terrible. I told him it's a general problem affecting the whole country since Tinubu removed subsidy. But he said no, it was worse than that. He told me that Igbos used to be the bulk of their customers. They will send their staff to go to Igbo markets like Alaba, Trade Fair or Ladipo to canvas for investors. They're mostly the ones with cash to invest. But today, they've stopped.

These days there staff are sometimes chased away and threatened never to step foot inside their shops again. The man is from Edo state but is into real estate development in Lagos, Benin and P.H.

His situation prompted me to make further inquiries and what I discovered was quite startling. Something dangerous is happening in Lagos and people are not even aware. There is going to be a severe housing crises in the near future. A three bedroom flat will soon be going for 3 million annually and yet people will find it hard renting one. There is going to be proliferation of slums and shanties all over Lagos.

Anyone who is informed knows that what I'm saying here are facts. When people are no longer building houses. Government isn't either. And population keeps growing, then it will only result in proliferation of slums.

People in Lagos will soon find themselves spending all their income on paying rent. While most others who can't cope will end up in slums.

My friend is now focusing in Benin and P.H. while diversifying away from Lagos property development. Others who are proactive should brace up before it's too late.

If you are into real estate in the East, this is your time to cash out.

Jekwu my good friend and fellow Obidient, recently bought 2 plots in Asaba and 3 in Ukpor his hometown.
He is currently fencing the Asaba land to give it value, in few years he will sell the Asaba land use the money to build in his villa.

Mention the developer

Most developers I know of in Lagos are Yorubas and that most buyers are your people is another lie

A simple check on prices of houses in Lagos in November 2023 compared to 6 months ago will prove to you that houses have increased in price month on month. Of course you have no idea because you’ve not made a real estate investment in Lagos

If people aren’t buying, why are prices or houses going up

Over 60% of real estate in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki to Ikate, Ikeja and Surulere are owned by Yorubas. Some of these lairs will live in a house as tenants and act like it’s theirs. It’s in their DNA

Your problem is ignorance. Being a developer doesn't make you owner of an estate. Go and check those buying the properties in Lagos until recently. Even in parts of Lekki, you will see entire neighborhoods with houses almost completely owned by Igbos. It's the same in many parts of Lagos. That you don't know this shows you're ignorant.

Again, you claimed that prices of houses are going up. How many of those houses have been sold in recent times? Go and ask realtors to compare year on year sales with previous years then come back to me. There are many properties for sale with no buyers in Lagos now, I mean lots of them!

You are not intelligent. Let us assume you are telling the truth, when Igbo diversify n invest into real east in Ipobland people will strategically go to those places because of the new development going on there isn't that so ?

That is less pressure on built up places in Lagos right ? So how will Lagos now be in trouble ?

Another point when Nigeria capital was diverted to Abuja did you know how many investment Lagos lost ? Now compare such investment to what a handful of economic saboteurs you Igbo building on waterways represent n compare what Lagos will miss btw the divide yet Lagos felt nothing so your wail of woes will only apply to Ipobland not Lagos

You’re the one deceiving yourself. If the sales are declining, how is it any of your business when you’re not a developer. And if the sales are declining, why are the prices going up instead of remaining stable.

A&A Towers in Eko Atlantic has sold up to 80% of its over 50 apartments at $350,000 each in the last few months. It’s owned by Yorubaman who still has dozens of other highrise projects in VI and Ikoyi. Sujimoto keeps selling luxury apartments in Ikoyi and Banana Island and how many Igbo men do you see him rolling with? His clients are typically Yoruba and Hausa.

And once again I put it to you that most of the houses in VI, Lekki and Ikoyi are owned by Yorubas while the few Igbo tenants keep acting like it’s theirs. They will take an apartment and before you know it, thirteen of them will live there and suddenly they come here and make it seem like they have bought thirteen different houses.

You can check most of the towers in Banana Island, Ikoyi, VI and Lekki. Many are named after Yoruba people and most are Yoruba owned. Why would a Igbo person build a house and name it after a Yoruba person. Does it make sense?

Anyways move your “properties” away instead of ranting about it. No one will miss you. We will have a saner business environment devoid of criminality

I was just laughing when Someone here said ibos owned most of the houses in lekki, lekki that at least 75% of the houses there belong to yorubas, it will be very hard self before you see an Igbo in lekki because they make less than 10% of the total population there.
