HOW NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA CAN PROTECT THEIR PROPERTIES IN ABSENTIA By DENNIS ISONG

Apart from the part property companies play, you also need to be actively involved.

 

HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY?

 

  1. As Nigerians in diaspora, you need to have all your documents done and ready to be presented should there be a need for them.

 

THESE DOCUMENTS ARE:

 

i.Deed of Assignment/ Deed of Transfer

 

This document shows the transfer of legal ownership of the property to the buyer subject, but, to perfection. This document is very important, the buyer needs to request it when buying a property from someone who previously bought it from another person.

 

Although the abstract of the title, the epitome of the title, and the payment receipt ought to have been different documents, they are all contained in the Deed of Assignment.

 

  1. Certificate of Occupancy

 

The Certificate of Occupancy is one of the most important land documents in Nigeria. It can be used to certify the legal ownership status of any land in Nigeria. It is the document that indicates that an individual has been granted a statutory right of occupancy by the Governor of the state or a customary right of occupancy by the Local Government Chairman, where the land is situated in a rural area. This document is also very important because the property in question is on land that was acquired through a state grant.

 

iii. Approved Survey Plan

 

Another important document to ask when buying land in Nigeria is the approved survey plan, because it marks and defines legal boundaries, helps reveal the true ownership status of a property, and also reveals if the land is under any government acquisition or committed area.

 

This document will become even more important when the house is bought along with the surrounding land.

 

  1. Duly Perfected Assent

 

The personal representatives divest themselves of the real estate of the deceased through assent. This is required where the house belongs to the estate of a deceased, in this situation, it becomes mandatory for the buyer to request a duly perfected assent from the personal representatives. He can even go further to verify if letters of administration/probate have been granted.

 

v.The Sale and Purchase Agreement

 

The Sale and Purchase Agreement contains a list of terms and conditions that are agreed to by both the buyer and the seller. An excellent example of this would be the negotiation for the price of the flat. The agreement would contain the agreed amount of the flat by both the buyer and the seller.

 

  1. The Building Approval Plan

 

Before the commencement of construction, the builder is required to get the necessary sanctions under the provisions of the Building By laws, Master Plan, and Local Body Acts. This sanction involves two factors:

  1. A) The Building Plan
  2. B) The Layout Approval

One mistake that first-time land or house buyers often make is not ensuring that the builder meets the terms and conditions of the Building Plan and Layout Approval before buying the house. Not meeting the terms and conditions could end up in negative results if the local authorities come in for spot checks, which are quite common in newer buildings.

 

vii. The Mother Deed

 

The Mother Deed is an important document that traces the ownership of the property. This document is generally required by banks when a buyer avails a loan against the property. An individual may approach the local authorities for help while creating this document.

 

 

  1. You must claim ownership

 

How does this work? If it’s land that you are not developing soon, you may need to fence it around, or, attach a signpost to it that bears your name by the name on the document.

 

 

  1. Consider the services of a property manager

 

Who is a property manager? A property manager is a more professional, well-read house agent. A property manager is in charge of your property. This works especially for Nigerians in diaspora. You could employ the services of a property manager to be in charge of your property till you are ready to come around.

 

 

If Nigerians in diaspora can follow these steps above, you don’t have to be scared that anyone could hijack their property.

What Primate Ayodele Said About Dethronement Of Emir Of Kano One Year Ago (VIDEO)

Sanusi II Reinstated As Kano Emir As Prophesied By Apostle Omotosho

What Primate Ayodele Said About Dethronement Of Emir Of Kano One Year Ago (VIDEO)

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the current Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero will be officially dethroned from his position and make way for the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who was also dethroned in 2020.

Advertisment

Earlier today, the Kano state house of assembly passed a new law which abolished four emirates created in addition to the Emir of Kano. The emirates were created under a controversial law in 2019 by the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

According to a source, ‘’So certainly with the passage of the Bill, Sanusi automatically stands reinstated. No need for confirmation, the thing is to wait for the governor to assent to it.”

As it stands, all is needed is the governor’s assent to confirm the dethronement of Ado Bayero but already, congratulations are in line for Sanusi Lamido even from the political class.

Having said this, it appears the proposed dethronement of Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano was prophesied more than one year ago by Nigeria’s most popular prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele.

In March 2023, a few days after the governorship election, though unrelated to the election outcome, Primate Ayodele warned traditional rulers to be prayerful and careful against dethronement. He mentioned some names and prominent among his mentions was the Emir of Kano whom he specially told to pray against gang-up.

These were his words

‘’Let’s pray against the dethronement of any oba or Emir in the north and the Emir of Kano needs to be very prayerful. A gang-up is coming against the Emir of Kano.’’

♬ original sound – Primate Ayodele

It would be recalled that in 2019, Primate Ayodele was the only prophet that warned the deposed Emir of Kano then, Sanusi Lamido to be watchful against removal in his 2020 prophecies. According to the prophet then, he mentioned that the governor wanted to limit the powers of the traditional ruler and part of the plot was to remove the then Emir.

‘’Let us pray not to lose two kings, Emirs, Ezes and of course let’s pray so that no King is dethroned. The government will want to reduce the strength of the Emir. They should pray against running into an unexpected crisis. Let us pay against fire outbreaks in any of the palaces. There will be confrontation between the government and the traditional ruler’’

While the decision to dethrone the current Emir and reinstate the former is in the hands of the governor, Primate Ayodele’s statement regarding a gang-up against Ado Bayero has been fulfilled with the house of assembly’s legislative activities.
