The Badagry Black Heritage Museum located in the former district officer’s office built in 1863, houses hundreds of artefacts and historical relics that detail over 300 years of the movement of slaves through Lagos. From the early 1500s, Badagry was one of many trading and transport areas in West Africa for slaves being sold off to America. It is estimated that roughly 550,000 African slaves sailed through this area.
Heritage Museum takes tourists on a journey to Nigeria’s slave past. Its nine galleries tell this tale using artefacts like trade documents, dated shackles, sketches, photos, sculptures, and other salvaged historical records that chronicled Badagry’s dark past. Another good thing about visiting this place is that the whole of Badagry is a living museum; you can learn the role the town played during the slave trade just by being there.

 ALHAJI WILLIAMS ABASS BARACOON

Alhaji William Abass Barracoon

 To be honest, I didn’t know what to feel when I got here, it was a feeling 0f betrayal but yet open mindedness.  We meet a tour guide with a direct lineage to Seriki Williams Abass. He takes us to the first location – Seriki Williams Abass home, where many relics, including his grave, are preserved. According to him, Brazillian Slave merchants constructed this Slave cell around 1840, using it to keep dozens of captives for up to 120 days. In 2003, this construction was declared a National Monument.

Displayed are chains of different sizes, for children, for those labelled weak and larger chains, called “heavy chains”, for the stronger captives. Most prisoners died due to heat and illness, as there was only one mediocre square opening at the higher part of one wall, about 40cm wide, safeguarded by about six iron rods to serve as ventilation. They had a metal bucket and another large ceramic jar to serve as a toilet—the rest you can imagine.

 At the entrance to the Salve cell stood an umbrella. It did not seem regular, so I asked our guide more about it. He explained how this good was used as means of exchange during the trade era. The umbrella was not regular. It was massive but old, made of goldish and purple jacquard mixed with golden embroidered flowers, with a robust wooden pole in the middle. The top of the wooden bar had a brass casing that served to beautify it. This piece of handwork was worth 40 human souls. 

MOBEE ROYAL SLAVE MUSEUM

 Mobee Royal Slave Museum

 The Mobee Royal Family Original Slave Relics Museum is a small museum housed in a nineteenth century colonial building. It showcases the role of the local 'Chief Mobee' in the enslavement of local Africans during the transatlantic slave trade, as well as the role of his son (and successor) in abolishing slavery in the area.

The museum houses one exhibition which discusses the arrival of Europeans to the Badagry area and the origins of the trade in human beings. Artefacts highlight the brutal nature of the capture and the enslavement of African people. These include yokes, chains, a mouth lock that presented the captives from speaking, and handcuffs for children. Other objects are examples of trade goods that were received by the Chief in exchange for a supply of people. Text interpretation also provides visitors with information about the terrible conditions faced by the enslaved during the Middle Passage, and images provide representations of life on the plantations.

 POINT OF NO RETURN

Slave Port

Gberefu Island also known as Point of No Return is a populated historical island located in Badagry, a town and local government area of Lagos State, South-Western Nigeria. Symbolized by two poles slightly slanted towards each other and facing the Atlantic Ocean, the island was a major slave port after it was opened in 1473 during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade era.^] According to Nigerian historians, as many as 10,000 slaves were believed to have been shipped to the Caribbean and Americas between 1518 and 1880 from the island. There's a mystery well before the slave port at the island that captured slave must drink from to forget his or her home. This is must visit to all blacks outside Africa to know their root.

 THE FIRST STORE BUILDING 

First Store Building 

It was said that the ancient structure was erected by Reverend Henry Townsend of the Church Missionary Society (CMS). The structure was occupied by Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African C.M.S Bishop when he undertook the translation of the Holy Bible from English to Yoruba. The First Storey Building in Nigeria is located in Badagry, Lagos State . It attracts many visitors every year. The foundation of the building was laid in 1842 while the house was completed in 1845. The one-storey building has its corrugated iron sheet roof overlooking the marina waterfront. It is the most popular mission house in Badagry because the first sets of missionaries in Nigeria settled at the building. The rooms has six big rooms, four stores, two big sitting rooms, and a safe where precious items are kept. History also has it that it was a place where returnee slaves lodged. Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a returnee slave lived in one of the rooms of the building. From the outside, the building looks old and frail but the wooden staircase looks as strong as ever. In the upper floor of the building, there is a glass containing the English and Yoruba versions of the bible that was translated by Bishop Ajayi Crowther.

A real estate agent, referred to often as a real estate broker, is a person who represents sellers or buyers of real estate or real property. While a broker may work independently, an agent usually works under a licensed broker to represent clients.

A broker is a person or firm who arranges transactions between a buyer and a seller. This may be done for a commission when the deal is executed. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Neither role should be confused with that of an agent—one who acts on behalf of a principal party in a deal.

Brokers and agents are licensed by the state to negotiate sales agreements and manage the documentation required for closing real estate transactions.

What does a real estate agent do?
Real estate agents work with clients to help them buy, sell or rent real estate. Real estate agent roles and duties include interfacing with clients, acting as a go-between for buyers and sellers and performing administrative, research and marketing tasks. Some of the general duties of a real estate agent include the following:

Administrative:

Answer phone calls and emails
Schedule appointments and showings
Update property listings
Draft and deliver documents
Order supplies

Research:

Perform real estate market analysis
Stay current with real estate markets, trends and best practices
Search open listings to find properties

Marketing:

Create and distribute promotional material
Manage online and social media presence
Network with potential clients and local businesses
Run advertising campaigns
Build a blog or website

Types of Real Estate Agents

While many agents fulfill multiple roles throughout their careers, or even their days, they tend to fit under specific headings. The following real estate job descriptions should help narrow the type of agent you are looking to hire.

Seller’s Agent

A real estate agent who helps owners sell a property may also be referred to as a seller’s agent or listing agent.

When a seller wants to put their property up for sale, they’ll generally contact a real estate agent to act on their behalf. With the seller’s best interests in mind, the real estate agent uses their knowledge of the market to accurately price the property, list it and market it to potential buyers.

In working with sellers, a real estate agent may perform the following key roles and duties:

Prepare comparative market research analysis to establish a realistic asking price (beyond what an online estimator can do)
Identify which assets are a property’s top selling points for that neighborhood
Pinpoint the best places to invest money in improvements
Stage the property to make it appealing to buyers
Photograph the property, inside and out
List the property on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
Advertise the property to gain the attention of prospective buyers
Supervise and/or schedule property showings and open house events
Draft and prepare documents, such as offers, contracts and closing statements
Communicate with appraisers, escrow companies, lenders and home inspectors

Buyer’s Agent

A real estate agent who helps clients buy a property is sometimes called a buyer’s agent or selling agent.

Buyers often turn to real estate agents when they’re in the market to buy a property, such as a new office space. Because real estate agents typically know the ins and outs of the real estate market, they can use their expertise to match the buyer with a property best suited for their needs and wants.

Here are some of the key roles and responsibilities of a real estate agent when working with buyers:

Coordinate and oversee open houses
Arrange meetings with prospective buyers Interview buyers to understand what they’re looking for in a new property
Schedule property showings
Coordinate appraisals and inspections
Negotiate property repair requests and offers on behalf of the buyer
Draft and review documents and contracts
Guide the buyer through the closing process

Dual Agent

When one real estate agent is representing both the seller and the buyer in a transaction, they’re called dual agents. A dual agent fulfills all the above duties of a real estate agent for a given transaction. However, this can sometimes create a conflict of interest.

What Is a Realtor?

A realtor is a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), a professional association. The NAR defines the term realtor as a federally registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the association and subscribes to its code of ethics.

How Are Real Estate Agents Different From Realtors?

Real estate agents are individuals who are licensed by their state to help people buy and sell real estate. Realtors are real estate agents who have opted to become members of the National Association of Realtors. NAR members have access to a wealth of training, tools, and data to help them provide their clients with a completely professional experience

Benefits of Hiring Real Estate Agent

They have connections with others in the industry and community. These may include title companies, appraisers, inspectors, landscapers and contractors. Because of this, real estate agents know who might be your best bet for your need and can get you in touch with the right contact.

Real estate agents understand the market and current trends. They’re familiar with property prices and the community. This insight can help you make the right decisions without extensive research on your part.

 Travel in education provides an opportunity for subconscious learning. Every aspect of travel teaches students new skills, ones they are unlikely to gain and practice in the usual school routine. Not all students get the opportunity to travel in their personal lives and it is our responsibility as educators to ensure those who want to, can.

Travel is not only important for education purposes but also for building character. By encouraging students to experience travel, we are allowing all students to become ‘World Citizens’. Here are more benefits of travel in educating Youth.

1)Teaching Responsibility

When travelling with students, no matter how organised the trip is, there is a certain level of trust placed in the group to take responsibility. 

Just from one experience, students can learn or practice multiple skills like time keeping, street safety, organisation and more. By placing your trust in the students in real-life settings, you can encourage independent and responsible behaviour.

2) Experiencing Different Cultures 

In the every-day routine of school, students can live relatively sheltered lives even up to the age of 18. Travel in education can prepare students for the wider world and therefore allow them to embrace more opportunities in confidence.

Exposing students to different cultures allows them to respect and understand the world as a whole, rather than in segregation or isolation. It creates ‘world citizens’ who don’t feel confined by borders or conventions, and therefore will be able to thrive in later life.

3) Language Learning

We all know by now that being immersed in a language is one of the most effective ways of learning. Without travel in education, authentic bilingual conversation is near impossible. Having an opportunity to practice a language in the country can also be inspiring, and motivate the students to continue their studies.

When you are visiting or working in a different country in almost all scenarios there will be a need to learn new vocabulary of the language, therefore students can learn organically through these experiences.

4)Building Strong Relationships

The highs and lows of a school trip inevitably bond the students and teachers. These relationships are incredibly important in building trust and therefore creating an environment where students can learn confidently.

The shared experiences of travel create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. The happier the students, the happier the teacher and the school.

   Benefits Students Gain From Traveling

Aside from having the time of their life and gaining memories that last forever, there are a number of important advantages that students achieve on a trip abroad. We’ve created a list of benefits that students gain when they travel:

1. Compassion

Exposure to the problems and perks of other lifestyles helps students see their world in a different way. Having a broad awareness of how other people live and what other cultures prioritize allows a student to think differently about their own lives.

2. Confidence

Living and working for any amount of time in a culture that’s different from home can help prepare students for college in ways more profound than any sleep-away camp or vacation can. Overcoming challenges while traveling help students grow confidence and prepare them for life’s obstacles.

3. Networking

International travel, especially with a group or through a program, provides students with a global network of contacts and references. Plus, instead of relying on others’ opinions, travelers establish perspective, confidence and conviction that make it easier to gain the respect of others.

4. Grit

Traveling away from the comfort of friends, family and familiar surroundings is tough. But doing it shows that a person is interested enough in the rest of the world, and confident enough to venture out and discover other parts of the world. This is a character trait that’s very appealing to colleges and employers.

5. Better academic performance

Research has shown that travel increases gains in academic content knowledge. Traveling while young, of course while fun, is also an important investment to enhance a student’s academic performance in the future.

6. Perspective

Unfamiliarity and separation from home are great incubators for thought. New experiences will question one’s preconceived ideas. This enriching experience challenges students to open their minds regarding food, friends, and basic needs.

7. Individuality

Travel provides experiences to define a person’s place and purpose and establishes lifelong values and priorities. Discovering a new place is also a chance to discover one’s self, without the usual influences of home.

8. Growth & Independence

While away from home and the ease of a regular support system, students have opportunities to see what they are capable of accomplishing by themselves. Traveling allows students to develop themselves in ways that can’t be achieved without stepping outside of their comfort zone.

9. Appreciation

Getting away from home is also a chance to allow a student to realize what they miss most. Experiencing another place and culture is an opportunity to appreciate what they already have and realize the importance of the little things that often go unnoticed.

10. New Friends

Cultural immersion through travel and service programs can also help break down language barriers and open new channels of lifelong communication. Exploring a new place opens doors to establish new friendships and relationships that never would have been acquired without traveling.

 Reasons Why Traveling Is The Best Form of Education

Almost every one of us agree that life’s real education happens outside the classroom. Classrooms with teachers, friends and textbooks are of course one way to learn but they are not the only.

In fact, traveling is the best way to learn things and the things that matter. Whether you stroll through the streets of Paris, hike through the most trying trails in the Himalayas or spend a sunny afternoon on the Caribbean beaches, travel will never fail you as a teacher.

Here below are ten reasons why traveling is the best form of education you can get irrespective of the places you travel and adventures you have.

1) languages learning

English is spoken in almost all parts of the world and it will work for you mostly. Nevertheless, it’s always better to learn the native language of the place you’re going to visit. In a way, travel forces you to learn languages.

After learning the basics through books, apps or videos, you can stretch your skills when you speak with the actual native speakers. By putting your language education into use, traveling mostly develops your listening and speaking capabilities.

Even when you have already studied a language, traveling is the best way to master that language. When you travel, you don’t just test your language skills in a real world scenario but also learn things like accent, intonation and slang in the most practical way.

2. You learn about other cultures.

Not just traveling to a foreign country but also to the different parts of your own country is the best way to discern what it’s all about. You better understand how the cultures around the world vary and where the common ground lies.

Differences exist in cuisines, etiquettes and lifestyle across different cultures. But in spite of the differences, you can find so many commonalities like shared love for art, nature and ancestors that bind all the different cultures together.

Education is not just about learning things to make our living but also contributing towards making it a better place to live in. The understanding of diverse cultures plays a vital role in your education.

3. You learn history.

You studied about the civilizations and major historical events in your history class. All that was really cool. But nothing beats traveling to historic landmarks and exploring your way around a city’s history and culture.

When you stroll through the streets and visit museums, palaces and galleries, the entire nation’s history comes out right in front of you. Learning about different dynasties, conflicts and changes is so much easier when you actually explore a nation.

Most often, what we learn about history through text books is deviated from reality. Entering into a dialogue with the locals you understand history in a more accurate way or at least it provides with you with a whole different perspective.

4. You learn about today’s world.

Travel teaches you not just about the world as it was in the past but also as it is today. It’s probably the best way to truly understand the political situation, economic scenario and social structure of the world we are living in today.

Our views about distant people and cultures are often influenced by what we are fed through the media. Traveling is a way to learn about them for real and not through the eyes of the media, which are often biased and prejudiced.

When you begin to travel often, you fully begin to understand the underlying reasons behind why the societies of different areas are shaped in a particular way and differ from the societies in other places.

5. You learn about nature.

When you move out of your comfort zone of the concrete jungle and begin to explore the most exotic natural wonders of the world, you will begin to realize the colossal majesty of nature.

Understanding the grandeur of nature is essential to solving most of the issues of the world today such as climate change, air pollution and global warming. When we fully realize what we are going to lose with our conduct, then solving these issues will be much easier.

So better than spending all the funds in organizing seminars and conferences,. It would suit you better to send the people backpacking to the most exotic mountains, lakes, forests and plains of the world.

6) You learn to do new things.

Traveling will test you in each and every step you take. As you’re exploring your way into the unknown, traveling naturally forces you to do so many things which you wouldn’t have done otherwise.

Whether it be while learning to pet the elephants in Cambodia, mountaineering through the snowclad mountains in Nepal or dancing Samba in Brazil, you will experience plenty of new things during your travels.

Traveling is in fact a way of learning to learn. You are out of your comfort zone and so you must learn to be able to adapt to a new learning environment in a very short time. It also helps in your overall learning as well.

7. You learn social skills.

You may be little shy and find it difficult to engage yourself socially. But traveling will change that as things like talking to complete strangers or asking them for favor is not an option but a necessity during travels.

If you are thinking of some personal development courses, you don’t need to do so. Travel your way to a wonderful place somewhere and if possible, on your own. You’ll grow much better than through such courses.

Lack of skills in conversation, presentation and public speaking often limit opportunities for us. Most of us find it difficult to master them how hard we try. If you’re facing difficulty with them, traveling will make your situation much easier.

8. You learn to be independent.

If you have spent your life being reactive, reacting to the circumstances placed upon you and you want to change that and haven’t been able to do so, traveling will teach you to be proactive and control your own fate by yourself.

Traveling forces one to be independent. This is even more the case when you travel on your own. There’s no choice but to make decisions and take initiatives completely by yourself as you don’t have anyone to tell you what to do nor anyone you can outsource the task too.

Independence is a fundamental goal of education. The focus of what we refer to as traditional education may be on financial independence but traveling will also teach you to be independent intellectually and emotionally

9. You learn compassion for the lives of others.

When you travel extensively, you begin to realize that in spite of all the differences, we all are same somewhere deep down in our hearts. All your prejudices based on race, color and nationality will subside.

You can’t truly hate anyone when you know what they have been through and why they behaved in a certain way in the first place. And when you travel, you have a better understanding of people and their actions.

You’ll be touched when you find so many wonderful people all over the world that you begin to feel the whole world is your home. There is a fair share of bad people and good people out there.

10. You learn about yourself.

Probably the most important aspect of education that travel helps is your education about yourself. Travel is your best teacher not only on history, language and politics but also on yourself.

You realize your true potential, the things that you really enjoy and the person who you really are. Without travel, you have a very limited understanding of your true self and you may even be completely unaware of your real persona.

If you haven’t really decided what you are going to do with your life or what you want to be in future, traveling extensively and preferably to places you have never heard of before, is the best way to help you make a decision.

Average of 1.8 seconds watching a video ad on social media

LESS THAN TWO SECONDS

The research yielded some interesting insights. It turned out that the average consumer spends less than 2 seconds (about 1.8) watching a social video ad. Even for the ads that scored best on engagement, the consumer’s attention span never passed 5 seconds. In addition, the willingness of consumers to watch an ad on social media is a whopping three times lower than for TV!

If we zoom in further on the differences between social media and TV, we see that 7% of consumers watch a social media ad in its entirety, versus 65% for TV. We also see similar differences in what consumers remember about an ad afterwards – after seeing the ad, unaided brand recall is on average 13% for social media, compared to 48% for TV. For assisted brand recall, social media scores an average of 40%, with TV doing much better here too at 71%.

EARLY BRAND CUE IS CRUCIAL

The lower scores of social video advertisements (compared to TV commercials) concerning recall are not too surprising, given that consumers also lose attention way more quickly when watching these videos – remember the less-than-2-seconds average viewing time! This not only makes it important for marketers to make their social video advertisements stand out immediately but also to include a clear brand cue as soon as possible. Our study reveals that such a practice indeed produces (significant) positive results. Among advertisements in which the first brand cue appears within the 2-second mark (i.e., before consumers scroll further along in the feed), unaided brand recall levels are 1.4 times as high as those for advertisements in which the first brand cue only appears after two seconds.

FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR TO TV?

While social video advertising has become a great competitor to TV advertising in terms of potential reach, it cannot command the same attention-grabbing (and: attention-holding) power and impact on the brand’s prominence in the consumer’s mind. However, the potential benefits of targeting social video advertisements to a specific audience are undeniable. The variation between the different advertisements that were tested in our study reveals that with the right creative execution and branding, social video advertisements can also be highly successful in shifting consumers’ knowledge of, and attitudes towards, a brand.

THE RULES OF SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISING

The temptation is great to utilise socia media l based on in-house developed social ads or as a simplified “clone” of a TV. But social media has its own laws. You need to know the creative effect in advance and adjust it instead of carrying out campaign optimisation during the campaign itself. Furthermore, a realistic environment is needed to pre-test video advertisements and measure the real ‘stopping power’, the impact on memory and creative quality. However, this realistic environment goes far beyond the ability to watch or not watch. The research must take place on a mobile phone (the device with which social media is primarily consumed) and must consider this volatile way of consuming. Not just the study must be adjusted to the medium – but also the creative. As a marketer, never fall into the trap of watching the full creative to judge it – rather, base your first impression of a new social video on the first 1.5 seconds. In a short space of time, the message and brand must be clear. And is the video sufficiently attractive to watch in its entirety? All this input forms the basis for further optimisation of the creative and for improving message recall, brand recall, and engagement.

Lead Generation to improve your Business

A business that does not have any lead generation plan is a slouch. If you’ve been avoiding your lead generation strategy of late, the following points will certainly make you stop and rethink your decision.

1) It Can Help You Increase Your Profit

If done correctly, lead generation can enhance your company’s potential to reach the right prospects. This is done by using appropriate messages, offers, and content to create an interest in these particular groups of people. When you do this right, you’ll be able to attract the attention of qualified leads, making it simpler for the sales team to turn them into customers. 

2) It Develops New Business Opportunities.

Lead generation isn’t just about searching for potential customers. It can also help you identify new business opportunities. It could be that a non-competing company reaches out to you to organize a webinar. It’ll be an energizing partnership for both parties, resulting in well…more leads.

3) Create Visibility and Increase Awareness.

Maybe you’re a new company that just launched with no experience. Perhaps you’re a well-established company that’s been operating quietly for a long time, or you’re now looking to have more eyes on your business. Creating awareness and visibility is essential to turn the tide to your advantage. It can seamlessly be accomplished by creating content that your viewers are interested in and sharing it via the social networks they follow.

It’s crucial to understand your consumer base from the outset. Market research lets you reduce risks even while your business is still just a gleam in your eye.

Gather demographic information to better understand opportunities and limitations for gaining customers. This could include population data on age, wealth, family, interests, or anything else that’s relevant for your business.

Demand: Is there a desire for your product or service?

Market size: How many people would be interested in your offering?

Asking consumers yourself can give you a nuanced understanding of your specific target audience. But, direct research can be time-consuming and expensive. Use it to answer questions about your specific business or customers, like reactions to your logo, improvements you could make to the buying experience, and where customers might go instead of your business.

Here are a few methods you can use to do direct research:

Surveys

Questionnaires

Focus groups

In an era full of challenges for the tourism industry, tourism for young people is a significant market segment, being a resource for change and innovation. World youth tourism industry is estimated to be approximately 190 million international travelers per year. According to UN WTO forecasts, 2020 will be about 300 million young people who will travel in a year, accounting for 320 billion dollars in market value. The World Youth Student and Educational defines youth tourism as a form of tourism that include independent travelers (young people are not accompanied by a parent or guardian personally) for periods of less than one year, with ages between 15 and 29 years. Individuals have the motivation for such movement willingness to construe experience vital to experience new culture and to benefit from new learning opportunities formal or informal in an unknown environment, different at normal everyday life. Educational tourism, traveling students and young people, plays a significant role for world tourism.

Around 90s, young travelers have represented 15% of the tourist market. In the past decade, it has increased by 20% and in the near future is expected to increase by 25%. Young people today want to travel as far to go as long, resulting in more spending, but managed to keep in touch with home more than ever before. These wish to enrich their experience at all levels. A comprehensive study conducted by WISE for youth tourism sector explained the motivations behind the trips made by these young, but have noticed a significant development for cultural tourism. For young people, travel is a form of learning, a way to meet other people, a way to have contact with other cultures, a source of career development, a means of self—development, an essential part of everyday life, a brief escape from reality. Young people are adventurous and want to develop their own knowledge. Often chooses to work in the places they choose to visit. They have an important role in attracting new visitors to their destination. Young people are adventurous and want to develop their own knowledge. They have a wide variety of forms of tourism for young people from which to decide. Each form itself helps to progress and evolve in different ways.

Forms of Tourism

(I) Domestic Tourism: Domestic Tourism consists of the activities of resident visitors within the country of reference, either as part of a domestic tourism trip or part of an outbound tourism trip. 

At the highest level, it's involved residents of a country traveling within that same country. Road trips, weekend gateways and staycation are great example of domestic tourism. One of the biggest advantages of domestic tourism is that it includes local travel, which is easier and cheaper commuting.

The government uses domestic tourism as a tool to eliminate poverty, generate employment and economic growth, upgrade infrastructure and alleviate pressure from overcrowding through, for instance, discretionary pricing policies and the provision of non-wage tourism benefits.

(II) Inbound Tourism: This means visits to a country by visitors who are not resident of that country. This is largely important because of economic benefits. Tourism can bring a lot of money through foreign exchange. This is particularly beneficial in countries where the currency is weaker than the currency of the tourists' home countries.

(III) Outbound Tourism: it's refers to activities of a residents visitors outside their country of resident. International outbound tourists are numbers of departures people make from their country of usual residence to any other country for any purpose apart from a remunerated activity in the country visited. The data on outbound tourists refers to the number of departures, not to the number of people traveling.

Type of Visa

(I) Tourist visa: This is a visa issued to foreign visitors traveling to a host country for short periods of three (3) or six (6) months. It could be in the form of vacation or visiting.

Business visa: Entrepreneur or Businessman obtained business visa to trade, attend conference or invest in another country. The business must be registered business name to apply for this visa.

(II) Students visa: Student intends to study in another country issued student visa. The student must have obtained admission to study in an institution of such country.

(III) Immigrants Visa: This type of Visa is issued to a foreign national who intends to live and work in another country. 

(IV) Work Visa: Temporary worker visas are for individuals who want to enter another country for employment lasting a fixed period of time, and are not considered permanent or indefinite. This is a nonimmigrant visa that last for five (5) years or more depending on the employer.

Land Classification:

Land can be classified as either free or acquired. A parcel of land is considered free
if the government has not indicated any interest whatsoever in that land. Such land
is safe to buy because the title on the land can be perfected without issues.
In most cases, such lands will either have a gazette, a C of O or a governor’s
consent.
Now that you understand what it means for land to be free, you should also know
that all lands that fall within areas that are designated as ‘urban areas’ are under
government acquisition until deemed committed or free.
There are two types of acquisition:
1. Committed Acquisition
2. Global / General Acquisition.

Committed Acquisition

A parcel of land is said to be under committed acquisition when the government has
indicated an intention to use that land for a specific purpose such as provision of
amenities.
Such lands belong to the government and can never be available for use by
individuals. If you purchase land that is under committed acquisition, it will be
impossible for you to perfect your land title and you’ll only be occupying the land
until the government comes to kick you out.

Global or General Acquisition

Lands that are under “general acquisition” or “global acquisition” can later be
confirmed ‘free’ or ‘committed’ as the case may be.
A land under general acquisition can become free by a process called excision.
“Excision is a process whereby the government releases a portion of an expanse of
land that is not committed” If a parcel of land that was formerly under acquisition
becomes excised; it is then considered free and becomes gazetted. The gazette then becomes the title on the land and such land is safe to buy because
a proper title can be processed on the land.
A second case where lands under general acquisition can be released is if an
individual purchased a land that was under acquisition without going through an
excision process.
Such lands can go through another process called “ratification” or “regularization” in
which the land owner pays for the land to be ratified or regularized. The only
conditions in this case are that the land in question must not fall within a committed
area and that the purpose for which the land was bought does not disrupt the
original plan of the state.
Conditions for ratification may differ from state to state.
Now that you understand the classification of land, lets now look at meaning of each land documents that we have.

DEED OF ASSIGNMENTS

Most people have the title documents to their cars intact and in safe places but fail
to ask for the Deed of assignment to their properties which is several times more
valuable than cars
A Deed of assignment is one of the transactional document drawn up by a real
estate attorney between the current title holder for a particular property and the
new buyer.
In real property transactions, a deed of assignment is a legal document that
transfers the interest of the owner of that interest to the person to whom it is
assigned, the assignee. When ownership is transferred, the deed of assignment
shows the new legal owner of the property.
The deed contains very pertinent information for a real estate transaction. It spells
out the date when the ownership of the property transfers from one owner to the
other. The deed also gives a specific description of the property that is included in
the transfer of ownership.
It is very compulsory and mandatory for a Deed of Assignment document to be
recorded at the appropriate land registry to show legal evidence as to the exchange
of ownership in any land/landed property transaction in order to make the general
public and government aware of such exchange or transaction.

Any recorded Deed of Assignment at the appropriate land registry will be
authenticated in form of either a Governor’s consent or Registered Conveyance after
it has been stamped at the Stamp Duties office.
It is important to Note that the deed of assignment document is not the only
document indicating transfer of owner.
The following documents are usually involved when a purchase is made.
1. The purchase receipt
2. The contract of sale and
3. The deed of assignment
4. The survey plan
5. The Building plan for housing investment
6. Any other title document that may apply
Each of these documents can come at separate times in the transaction process. The
seller signs all documents when the transaction is complete and hands over the
documents to the buyer.

SURVEY PLAN

A Survey plan is a document that measures the boundary of a parcel of land to give
an accurate measurement and description of that land. The people that handle
survey issues are Surveyors and they are regulated by the office of the Surveyor
general in Lagos as it relates to survey issues in Lagos. A survey plan must contain
the following information:
1. The name of the owner of the land surveyed
2. The Address or description of the land surveyed
3. The size of the land surveyed
4. The drawn out portion of the land survey and mapped out on the survey plan
document
5. The beacon numbers
6. The surveyor who drew up the survey plan and the date it was drawn up
7. A stamp showing the land is either free from Government acquisition or not

EXCISION

An Excision means basically taking a part from a whole and that part that has been
excised will be recorded and documented in the official government gazette of that
state. In other words, not having an excision means the land could be seized by the
Government anytime without compensating you even if you bought it “Legitimately”
from the Baale or the Original dwellers on the land.

GAZETTE

A Gazette is an Official record book where all special government details are spelt
out, detailed and recorded
A gazette will show the communities or villages that have been granted excision and
the number of acres or hectares of land that the government has given to them. It is
within those excised acres or hectares that the traditional family is entitled to sell its
lands to the public and not anything outside those hectares of land given or excised
to them.
A Gazette is a very powerful instrument the community owns and can replace a
Certificate of Occupancy to grant title to the Villagers. A community owning a
gazette can only sell lands to an individual within those lands that have been excised
to them and the community or family head of that land has the right to sign your
documents for you if you purchase lands within those excised acres or hectares of
land.
If the government based on some reasons best known to them decides to revoke or
acquire your land, you will be entitled to compensation as long as it’s within the
Excised lands given to that community.ad land to buy.
The best way to know whether a land is under acquisition or has an excision that
has been covered by a Gazette is to get a surveyor to chart the site and take it to
the surveyor general’s office to do a land information to confirm whether it falls
within the gazette and spell out which particular location it can be found.
Relationship between Excision and Gazette
So for example if in 1981, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki were all part of one big
Community joined together called Oniru and it had no separation to know which
area is called ikoyi, Lekki or V.I then, and it has an approximate total area square
meters estimate of 100,000 square meters and the Government is interested in that
area and decides to take 70,000 square meters for its self for its own personal use
as an Urban Area or public purpose, it will record this acquisition in the official
government which is Gazette and also record that the remaining 30,000 square
meters (EXCISED PORTION) has been left alone for the traditional family to have
and do with it whatever it pleases it to do. This is the sweet relationship between a
land under acquisition, an excision and gazette.

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) issued by the Lagos State Government officially
leased Lagos land to you, the applicant, for 99 yrs. All lands belong to the
Government.

GOVERRNOR'S CONSENT

So many Academicians, Lawyers and Intellectuals have tried to define what a
Governor’s Consent is and they end up confusing simple minded men like me with
their Big Big Grammar, so am going to attempt to do the impossible by breaking its
meaning down and how it operates under the law.

A simple formula to follow is this. The first person on a Virgin Land that has neither
been occupied neither by another person nor under acquisition by the Government is
entitled to get a Certificate of Occupancy on that land.

If that person with the C of O decides to sell his land to another person after so
many years, that person must now obtain the Consent of the Governor before that
transaction can be deemed legal in the eyes of the Government. If the new buyer.
now decides to sell the land again to a third owner in future, that Third owner must
also obtain a new Consent of the Governor before that transaction can be deemed
legal in the eyes of the Government and the process continues every time the
property changes hands to a new buyer.

In other words, the first person on a land is the only person or group of persons
entitled to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. Every subsequent buyer of that land
must get a Governor’s consent. There can only be one (1) Owner of the Certificate
of Occupancy on that Land and it will not be replicated for another person once the
land has been sold or transferred to another person.
The powers of the Governor to Consent to such transactions can be found in Section
22. Of the LAND USE ACT 1978 as amended this states thus:
“It shall not be lawful for the holder of a statutory right of occupancy granted by
the Governor to alienate his right of occupancy or any part thereof by assignment,
mortgage, and transfer of possession, sublease or otherwise howsoever without the
consent of the Governor first had and obtained”With this power, the Governor has the right to grant consent to any transaction
which it thinks has not contravened any Law of the land and if the consent has been obtained fraudulently, the Governor is entitled to revoke such consent immediately.

It is very important for a purchaser of land to perfect his or her document by
obtaining a Governors consent so as to have a complete rest of mind. Although its
good to buy a land that already has a Global C of O or the Land has a Gazette, it still
doesn’t give you the full satisfaction that you own the land without any form of fear
or intrusion by the land owners. Your documents have not been perfected and the
consent of the Governor to that transaction has not been obtained.

Disadvantages and Problems of Getting Governors Consent

Obtaining a Governors Consent from the Land Bureau isn’t the easiest thing to get
quickly despite the importance attached to it and urgency needed to secure a land
from land owners. On the Government website, it is stated that a Governors Consent
can be obtained in 30 days but that has proven to be very untrue due to
unscrupulous civil servants who would do everything to frustrate the process of
obtaining the document without giving them huge kickbacks. A Governors consent
that should cost N200,000 naturally could end up costing N600,000 Due to
kickbacks, , Bribes, P.R etc and that 30 days could translate to 6 months or a year.

In all, a Governors Consent is a very good document to obtain and I advise you to
get it so as to free yourself from land owner 100%. An advantage of having a
Governor’s consent is that you can transfer your land to another person without
going to the land owner or Family Baale to sign your deed and Form 1c which are
compulsory requirements needed before you can process Governors consent. The
land owner pray seriously for the Owner not to have a Governors consent so that they
can make a lot of money running into their Thousands whenever the Owner require
the signatures of the family to start the Governors consent.
Do you now see why C of O is not the ultimate? Stepping aside the criticism of those
in charge of processing the C of O, You should try as much as possible to get a
Governors Consent for all your genuine lands so as to eliminate land owner completely
and live a straight forward life devoid of land owner problems.
