Why Land Ownership Is the Key to Wealth in Lagos: Don’t Wait to Buy
If you’re serious about building generational wealth in Lagos, there’s one proven strategy that has stood the test of time: land ownership in Lagos.
At ATLAS Realtors, we remind clients every day:
“You’re not truly wealthy until you own land.”
The importance of land ownership is even found in the Bible. Genesis 2:15 says:
“The Lord God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
While some think this refers only to agriculture, agriculture itself depends on land. Land is the foundation of all wealth creation—whether it’s farming, housing, or business.
As Investopedia defines it:
“Real estate is a class of real property that includes land and anything permanently attached to it, whether natural or man-made.”
This is why in Lagos, owning land is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity for anyone who wants to secure their financial future.
📈 Why Land Ownership in Lagos Is a Smart Investment
🔹 1. Land Appreciates While Cash Depreciates
With the Naira’s value falling due to inflation, cash sitting in the bank loses value daily. But land, especially in Lagos, keeps appreciating.
For example, a plot in Ikorodu that cost ₦1M in 2015 now sells for ₦10M. That’s a 900% increase in less than 10 years.
🔹 2. Land Is a Safe, Tangible Asset
Unlike stocks or cryptocurrency, land is physical and cannot be hacked or erased. It’s a long-term asset that holds its value even during economic downturns.
🔹 3. Lagos Land Is in High Demand
With Lagos being Nigeria’s economic hub and population growing daily, demand for land is skyrocketing. Areas like Lekki, Ikorodu, and Epe are becoming hotspots for investors.
📊 Lagos Survey: Why 90% Chose Land Over ₦20M Cash
In March 2025, ATLAS Realtors conducted a street survey across Lagos—Lekki, Ikorodu, and Victoria Island. We asked 200 people:
“Would you rather have ₦20 million cash or a plot of land in Ikorodu?”
🔥 Result: 90% chose the land.
Why? Because they realized cash depreciates quickly in value, but land doesn’t. This shows Lagosians understand that land is wealth.
