Say Bami, a resident of Lagos wants to buy a land.

He acquired the survey plans and decided to get the land information from the Ministry. His first problem was Lagos traffic. After which he faced the Ministry’s needful requirements. The needful being, buying soft drinks and recharge cards for the workers. But after days of this continuous process, he got tired. So he went ahead to pay and started building his dream house.

Foundation laid, all the way to the lintel; then a fresh looking dude came in an SUV saying the land was his and had no idea why his half brother had to sell it. It got to court and unfortunately for Femi his documents were not so valid.

SUV man won, tore down the building and started his soon-to-be five-star hotel. Halfway through, the Government came in. A huge part of that land was supposed to be under an high tension wire.

SUV man thinks it was karma. I say it was lack of information.

What do you think?

This was beautifully written by a friend to help pitch a land information intelligence platform called landquery.

What is Landquery?

In other words.
