Documents To Ask For When Buying Land

There are a number of crucial documents
1. Receipt
2. Approved survey plan
3. Approved layout
4. Power of Attorney
5. Deed of assignment
6. Certificate of Occupancy ( C of O)

I would categorize the people from which you can buy any parcel of land into three:
> An estate developer
> An individual &
> Directly from the family who claims to own the land.

If you are dealing with an estate developer (buying within an estate), you should ask for the approved survey plan, approved layout, the power of attorney and the global C of O

If you are buying from an individual or company (one who has bought and wishes to resell), you should ask for the receipt, deed of assignment, approved survey plan and C of O

Buying directly from the family who claims to own the land is quite tricky. This is because it is difficult to determine the true owners of the land especially when the documents showing ownership hasn't been processed. Where the documents haven't been processed, there are no documents to show authenticity and a prospective buyer has to rely a great deal on word of mouth from the members of the community to ascertain the true owner(s) of the land in question. When the documents have been processed, they should provide you with the approved survey plan, approved layout ( where the land is a large one and is being sold on a per plot basis) and the C of O. From my experience, families usually don't go to the length of processing their C of O. Reason being that they hope to sell off their land in the near future thus only do the absolute minimum required to show authenticity, in this case the approved survey plan and layout, then passing it on to the buyer who would go on to perfect his/her title on the land. NOTE: It is very important that you have a good property lawyer before embarking on land/property purchase. The Reason is that your lawyer is the one who ensures that you don’t run into legal trouble with land/property documents after purchase. It’s your lawyer’s job to verify the authenticity of the land/ property.

Love Stretched Thin

If I say I’m tired of loving you, I would be stating the obvious.

I have tried severally to love you beyond your faults, to totally go blind and deaf when your inadequacies are shown.

I have told myself countless times all you need is more prayers and more love and that with time you’ll get over your issues,

 But, I have come to realize that the more I pray for you, the more violent you become

You break my heart every time I have to listen to the sad tale of how you watched that woman lose her only son while she served you, how you stood and watched Haruna and his friends burn down an entire village, reducing the population of the men and increasing the head count of widows

And as usual, nothing happened…

But, you were not always like this, when we were much younger, you had a loving heart, quick to make jokes and very accommodating, you never discriminated against race, tribe, religion or tongue, every one even our ‘oyinbo’ friends found warmth in our home and our doors were always open to them at any time of the day.
 
But then like a dream you began to change,
Your voice no longer sounded soft and tender, you now thundered when you spoke,
 I noticed the arrogance came when your account swelled with the ‘American paper’ every month, it seemed all you cared about was anyone with the money, whether a thief or a murderer, it mattered little to you.

Your smile gave way to grimness and creases on your face lined the once friendly face, you threw tantrums at will, you once had a heart for children but now a rock takes the place where crimson liquid once flowed.

I hate to see you like this, I want to leave you but where and to whom do I go? I haven’t stopped praying for you though, because I realize that things will get worse if I stop, so as much as I hurt

 I still remember to update your case before my Father in heaven after asking for my needs and that of my family of course, I mention your name, I really do hope heaven is not tired of you yet. But I sincerely hope not because I have no other country,
