*Scene: A bustling real estate office in Lagos, Nigeria. Two men, Chinedu and Emeka, sit across from a real estate consultant, Mr. Adebayo. The atmosphere is lively, with maps and property documents scattered on the desk. A large window shows the city skyline.*

**Narrator (Voiceover):**  
In the world of real estate, the path to owning land can be smooth or riddled with pitfalls. Meet Chinedu and Emeka, two men with dreams of owning land, but with very different stories.

*Camera pans to Chinedu, a confident man in his 40s, holding a file of documents.* 

**Mr. Adebayo:**  
Chinedu, tell us about your experience buying land.

**Chinedu (smiling):**  
Well, Mr. Adebayo, I wanted to do things right. I found a plot in Lekki through a reputable real estate company. Before signing anything, I insisted on verifying the title. I checked with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Lagos State Land Registry. The seller’s documents were clean – a valid Certificate of Occupancy, no disputes. I hired a lawyer to double-check, and the deal went through smoothly. Today, my land is secure, and I’m breaking ground for my dream home next month!

*Camera zooms in on Chinedu’s proud expression, then shifts to Emeka, who looks uneasy, fidgeting with his phone.*

**Mr. Adebayo:**  
That’s the way to go, Chinedu! Now, Emeka, your story seems… different. What happened?

**Emeka (sighing):**  
It’s been a nightmare, honestly. I wanted a quick deal, so I bought land in Ikorodu from a local chief. The price was good, and he showed me some documents. I trusted him – big mistake. After paying, I started hearing rumors. Turns out, the same plot was sold to three other people before me! When I confronted the chief, he disappeared. I checked with the Land Registry, and the land wasn’t even properly titled. Now, I’m stuck in a legal battle, and I’ve lost my savings.

*Camera shows Emeka’s frustrated expression, then cuts to a flashback of him handing cash to a man in traditional attire, who smiles slyly.*

**Narrator (Voiceover):**  
Two men, two choices, two outcomes. Chinedu’s diligence with proper CAC registration and title verification gave him peace of mind. Emeka’s haste led to a costly lesson.

*Camera returns to Mr. Adebayo, who leans forward, addressing the audience.*

**Mr. Adebayo:**  
Buying land is a big investment, and it starts with doing your due diligence. Always verify the seller’s title through official channels like the CAC and Land Registry. Work with reputable agents, hire a lawyer, and never rush into a deal, no matter how sweet it sounds. Protect your future, just like Chinedu did.

*Scene shifts to a split-screen: on one side, Chinedu stands proudly on his plot as construction begins; on the other, Emeka sits in a lawyer’s office, surrounded by legal documents.*

**Narrator (Voiceover):**  
The choice is yours – secure your investment with proper checks or risk it all on a shaky deal. Buy smart, build safe.
