Many people rushed there some years ago.
Many people also got confused.
Some made money. Some are still waiting.

So let me ask you something simple.

Is Ibeju-Lekki still a good place to invest in land today?

Or has the opportunity passed?

Let me explain this clearly so you do not make a costly mistake.

Let Me Tell You Why This Question Matters

Ibeju-Lekki became popular because of big projects.

Dangote Refinery.
Lekki Free Trade Zone.
Deep Sea Port.

When you hear projects like this, your mind starts calculating profit.

But here is the hidden problem.

Not all land in Ibeju-Lekki is equal.

Some land will grow.
Some land will give stress.
Some land will never move the way you expect.

This is where many people get hurt.

The Pain Most Buyers Don’t See Early

You see cheap land.
You hear “future development”.
You are told “buy now before price doubles”.

You pay.

Then you discover:

• The land is under government acquisition
• The land has no excision
• The layout is not approved
• The location is too far from real development

And you start waiting… and waiting… and waiting.

That waiting can be painful.

I understand how that feels.

So Is Ibeju-Lekki Still Good?

Yes.

But not blindly.

Ibeju-Lekki is still growing because infrastructure is real. Roads are expanding. Industrial activity is increasing. Population will follow industry.

But growth in real estate is not magic.

Infrastructure drives land value.

If your land is close to confirmed infrastructure, your chances are better.

If it is just “future promise land”, that is a different story.

Let Me Share Something That Happened

In 2022, a Nigerian in the UK bought land in Ibeju-Lekki without checking the exact government status.

He trusted the agent.
He saw pictures.
He paid in full.

Later, he found out the land was still under acquisition and not yet properly excised.

That one mistake delayed his peace of mind for years.

The land was real.
But the status was wrong.

That is the difference.

This Is How You Know If It Is Still Worth It

If you are thinking about investing in Ibeju-Lekki land, do these things:

1. Go To The Lands Bureau

Confirm if the land is:

• Free from government acquisition
• Excision granted
• Properly gazetted

Ask for file number verification.

Why this matters:
If you skip this, government can revoke it later.

Clear status protects your future.

One clear action:
Never pay without independent verification at the Lands Bureau.

2. Check The Survey With The Surveyor-General

Submit the survey plan for charting.

Ask if it falls under:

• Committed land
• Road expansion
• Coastal regulation

Why this matters:
A beautiful land inside a future road corridor is a hidden problem.

One clear action:
Always chart the survey before payment.

3. Study The Exact Location

Not all of Ibeju-Lekki moves at the same speed.

Areas closer to:

• Eleko
• Free Trade Zone
• Lekki Deep Sea Port

are different from remote interior bush locations.

Future risk planning matters.

One clear action:
Buy near confirmed development, not just promised development.

Let Me Say Something Important

Ibeju-Lekki is not “too late”.

But it is no longer blind opportunity land.

You must buy with clarity.

You must buy with documentation strength.

You must buy with long-term thinking.

If you want your investment to make plenty money now for you to enjoy and still take care of you when you are old, you must learn how to buy the right property that will not give you stress. That is why I write articles like this to help you buy safe property without fear.

Let Us Recap Simply

Is Ibeju-Lekki still a good place to invest in land?

Yes — if the land is clean, verified, and close to real infrastructure.

No — if you are buying because of hype, pressure, or cheap price.

Growth is real.

But process protects money.

One Thing You Must Never Do

Never rush because someone says:

“Others are waiting.”

Urgency is not proof of safety.

I have helped many Nigerians in the diaspora and many in Nigeria buy land and houses they are happy with.
I can help you do the same.
I am the best guide if you want to buy property in Lagos and major states in Nigeria.

Real estate rewards patience.

Ibeju-Lekki can still work for you.
But only if you work it wisely.

So tell me — are you buying for quick resale, or for long-term security?
