This clearly is misinformation. Ghana started its move to nationalize most of its natural resources after the new government formed in 2025. Also South Africa’s xenophobic attacks were unjustified. State agencies should apply the laws if they believe there are illegals in SA. Vigilantes shouldn’t be the ones to do that.
Paying for a land in Ghana does not automatically make you the rightful owner. Many people in Ghana think that but legally, that is not enough.
Buying land gives you an interest in the property, but until that interest is properly registered at the Lands Commission, your ownership can still be challenged. Someone else may claim the land, fraudsters may resell it, or you could end up in court.
That is why land experts always educate the public indicating buying land is only the first step, registration is what protects you.
Here is the full process of registering land in Ghana:
1. Do a Land Search First
Before paying any money, visit the Lands Commission and conduct an official search.
2. Prepare the Indenture or Land Agreement
After confirming the land is genuine, the next step is preparing the legal transfer documents.
3. Get a Certified Site Plan
A licensed surveyor must prepare a site plan for the land
4. Pay Stamp Duty
Once the land documents are signed, they must be submitted for valuation. Government assesses the value of the land and determine how much stamp duty you must pay.
5. Gather All Required Documents
Before submission, make sure you have all required documents.
6. Submit Documents to the Lands Commission
7. Public Notice and Investigation
For first-time registrations, the Lands Commission may publish a public notice. This gives anyone with objections the chance to raise concerns.
8. Pay Registration Fees
After your application is approved, you will pay registration-related charges.
9. Official Registration
This is the most important stage. The Lands Commission officially records your ownership in its register.
10. Collect Your Land Certificate

Yesterday in Philadelphia, when President John Mahama met Ghanaian students, I found myself uneasy as he began addressing the withdrawal of the Lincoln degree conferment. I was uncertain about the tone he would strike.
Immediately he said, “Whatever disagreements have arisen, for me, Lincoln University holds a special place in my heart. It is where our first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was nurtured intellectually,”
It became clear that he had struck exactly the right note. Measured, respectful and reflective.
