WHO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE?
This development raises a critical question: who bears the responsibility for this crisis?
THE GOVERNMENT: Regulations exist, and compliance is mandatory. The state cannot be faulted for enforcing its laws.
THE DEVELOPERS: Many developers, motivated by greed, ignore due process and bypass required approvals, leaving unsuspecting buyers at risk.
THE SUBSCRIBERS (BUYERS): Most ordinary Nigerians, desperate for affordable housing, fall victim due to lack of knowledge or guidance.
Make no mistake—the developers are the biggest threat. By ignoring the rules and cutting corners, they have set up unsuspecting investors for unimaginable losses, with many on the verge of losing everything they have worked for.
RISKS FACING PROPERTY BUYERS IN LAGOS
For many Nigerians, owning a home is a life-long dream. But without proper verification, that dream can quickly turn into a nightmare.
Key risks include:
1. Demolition of homes built on illegal land
2. Loss of life savings and property investments
3. Lengthy legal disputes with little chance of recovery
This reality emphasizes the critical importance of due diligence in every property transaction.
