How to Acquire Property With Peace of Mind In Ibadan, Oyo State


⚠️ Why Buying or Investing in Real Estate Can Be Problematic in Ibadan


πŸ” Introduction

Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, is a growing hub for real estate investments β€” from private estates and residential plots to commercial lands and farmland. However, despite its promise, buying property in Ibadan has become increasingly complex, particularly for new buyers, diaspora investors, and families seeking to build or settle.

This guide outlines the key problems affecting real estate in Ibadan today, and the proven, stress-free strategy to acquire land or property with total peace of mind.


⚠️ Common Problems in the Ibadan Real Estate Market

1. Land Disputes and Multiple Sales

Many lands in Ibadan are family-owned (customary), and often multiple members of the family claim rights over the same plot. This leads to:

  • Double sales to different buyers
  • Legal battles and court cases
  • Loss of investment without recourse

2. Omo Onile Harassment

These are self-acclaimed “landlords” or land agents who:

  • Demand payments for fencing, foundation, or roofing
  • Threaten or stop construction unless settled
  • Extort buyers repeatedly, even years after land is bought

3. Lack of Verified Documentation

Some sellers operate without:

  • Registered survey plans
  • Deed of Assignment
  • C of O or Excision documents
    This makes it impossible to register the property legally, and often leads to repossession by the government.

4. Encroachment and Land Grabbing

Due to lack of beacon placement and poor boundary surveys, your land may:

  • Be encroached upon by neighbors
  • Be forcefully occupied by land grabbers
  • Require lengthy and expensive legal action to reclaim

5. Ignorance of Government Regulations

Many first-time buyers:

  • Do not know how to process Governor’s Consent
  • Fail to check zoning restrictions or land use
  • Buy land under Government Acquisition unknowingly
