No be to just buy land, make sure a buy a land that has clean title that is in a good location, not the one in the thick forest in the middle of nowhere!

lecowas:
Give it years, even the one in "thick forest in the middle of nowhere" will eventually turn to be a city. Do not despise the days of little beginnings

manuelkel:
I don't know how people comment insensitively, one said #500k is too small for a sowing business establishment. Nigerians are really greedy, they easily despise little beginnings because they take it common. Every billionaire family on earth started from little beginnings. People are too daft to understand that there's beauty in little beginnings.

Buy a piece of land in a safe village not too far from very big cities and business areas. Make sure you have the necessary papers at least, even if not C of O yet, get the others for now. Even if the place is a village bush, don't worry; go there and keep sand there, be laying the blocks from time to time , start small. With your presence on the land and good relationship with the residents, you can be sure omonilays will not go there bc the people will protect it in your absence. Give it some years later while builidng, and u will own a house like play. Don't wait. house rent now no be joke o

LordLicifer:
Yes, but i am guessing you are talking about in Lagos from your assertions. I am very aprehensive of buying in that location. These omo onilays people i would have the patience to not unlive someone if they dare my land or property ,so i avoid that location stricly. Because they will surely interfere with your land regardless and believe it or not there are no kinda of C of O one would have they can still grab one's land.

qtx:
Lol. I got you. But it mustn't be Lagos , I don't know which city you are in, if not for insecurity bedeviling our dear country now near any state capital will be fine like Ogun state side, etc.

I bought a land for 200k in 2018, it’s now being priced for 15 million

skytechola2020:
This is something I’ve always found interesting.

Ask the average Nigerian if they would like to own land and the answer is almost always:

“Of course.”

But ask them when they plan to start, and you’ll often hear:

“When I have enough money.”

The question is:

How much is enough?

For many people, “enough money” means millions of naira.

So they postpone the idea year after year while focusing on other responsibilities.

The problem is that land doesn’t wait.

A plot that sold for ₦500,000 years ago may now cost ₦5 million or more.

The person who was waiting for ₦500,000 is now trying to raise ₦5 million.

Then before they know it, that ₦5 million property becomes ₦10 million.

And the cycle continues.


Is waiting really helping people?

Let’s be honest.

Most people don’t build wealth by waiting until they have everything.

They start somewhere.

A business starts small.

A house is built block by block.

Even savings grow over time.

Yet when it comes to land, many people believe they must have the full amount before taking any step.

Meanwhile:

* land prices keep increasing,
* development keeps happening,
* opportunities keep moving,
* and years keep passing.

Maybe the issue isn’t that Nigerians don’t want land.

Maybe the issue is that many people believe ownership is only for people who already have millions.

What do you think?

Why do Nigerians wait until they have millions before thinking about land?

Is it:

* lack of trust?
* fear of scams?
* low income?
* lack of awareness?
* or the belief that ownership must always be all-or-nothing?

I’d like to hear your thoughts.

LordLicifer:
What?! Holy money!! I don't doubt you but the only way to find out if really it is worth 15milla is to sell otherwise you couldn't tell how much it is worth.

Titusolufemi:
I wonder how this ur write up will help a common man.
I waiting to see where you will propose buying of land on instalment (if it's possible)

I wanted to buy a land too in my area and the least price is #700k but I don't have that now so what do you suggest I do.
Won't I wait until the money at hand can buy it before I buy.

Ibadanfarmroad:
i didnt say it is worth 15 million naira, I said it’s being priced for 15 million naira, people are pricing and willing to pay 15 million but I always tell them 35 million just to scare them away because I don’t want to sell it.i just bought another one for 950k I hope development comes to the part of the community the price will still skyrocket, in this same community lands that were sold for 600k in 2021 is now worth 5 million naira.
Welcome to Benin city, edo state.

LordLicifer:
It doesn't matter to me where as long as it is in Nigeria, as said, i don't have the calm and patience to tolerate intimidation, land grabbing or unercerssary extortions. I am happy to pay land and property taxes, or any legitimate taxes and contributions on the lands but i am not prepared to stomach any other kinda nonsense. I might try Ogun state. You are also right to mention insecurities.

Also do you agree that it doesn't matter what kinda C of O one has their land can still be grabbed or interfered with?

Meerahbel:
It's in remote areas you would see land less than 500k. Currently in Delta State Oshimili North in Ukala to be precise, land is going for less than 100k but I tell you something, there's a dry sea port currently on the table of the Delta State Government and Ukala would be the dry sea port. People don't know this yet.

TheStoriesOfMan:
I know about the proposed dry sea port in Ukala. One chief wants to see his land for 200k. I dey plan buy better land sef.

No put your mind say sheriff go do am. Maybe if another Delta North governor will oversee the project.
