When it comes to buying land, most people are excited to finally become landowners. But after the celebration, there’s a step many don’t talk about—getting the title.
This is where things can get slow, stressful, and very expensive. This is what we call Land Title Fatigue.
Let us explain.
💼 What Is a Land Title?
A land title is the official government document that proves the land truly belongs to you.
It could be:
-
C of O (Certificate of Occupancy)
-
Deed of Assignment
-
Registered Survey
-
Governor’s Consent, and so on
Without a proper title, someone else could claim your land—or you might not be able to sell it in the future.
😩 What Is Land Title Fatigue?
Land Title Fatigue happens when people get tired, frustrated, or discouraged because it takes too long or costs too much to process land titles.
It’s like waiting in a very long line that doesn’t seem to move, even though you’ve paid your money and done your part.
🧱 What Causes the Delay?
Here’s what slows things down:
-
Government bureaucracy – too many steps and departments
-
Corruption or “connection fees” – illegal payments just to speed things up
-
Missing or wrong documents – often from poor handling or untrusted sellers
-
Lack of proper follow-up – when land buyers don’t monitor the process
💸 How Does It Cost Millions?
Delays may seem small at first, but they add up:
-
You can’t build or develop your land
-
You lose buyers or investors who want verified land
-
You might even have to pay again to fix missing documents
-
The land may stay undeveloped for years, losing its value over time
In the end, all this can cost millions of naira in lost opportunities.
🛑 Real-Life Example
A man bought land in a good area but didn’t process his title early. Years later, the government used the land for a new project. He had no legal title to prove it was his—and lost the land completely.
