Land Market South West

 

Until I decide, for the thousandth time, that I will walk into the southwest or west. - Thoreau 

The Land is the most important treasure of an educated populace, it's the food factory, the literal foundation and stability of their existence. For the Tiv who farms yam, and prefer to live in the mud house built by his father rather than wasting the precious space that could farm 200 tubers to build an extension of his ego, knows that land is more important than even his short existence, was and will be there long after he is gone. For a coming of age, a tiv boy gets a hoe and must plant 30 orange trees because the reason the White came to write a thesis on the sustainability of the Tiv model of life, is because by giving the land it's due worship the average Tiv man needs read up a book under a tree, while yams fill his barn and vegetables litter his garden, he smiles when his son chases after the chicken knowing the treasure that he is about to leave him, and ensure the truthful education on the importance of land. He leaves him reassured, joining his father in the afterlife they can both point at what used to be and still is their land.

On the other side is a very confused ancestors who can't seem to remember the vista they used to proudly call theirs, they can't seem to understand what their son sold his land to buy, repairing it every other month with a promise to buy another one buy selling another land. This ancestors cant believe it, he touches his back and remember farming the land, refusing to sell to charlatan because he thought of his son,.

It was all gone and the street was a graveyard of cars and hungry children engaged in bitter politics and printing banners of scams as pastors..

Land is one's heritage, no man who ever gives value to the land goes hunger, it is the most valuable resource as God isn't making any more. When certain Medina pilgrim took charge of the expanse of land from Ogun to Lagos under the auspices of the same Yoruba. They obviates their lack of attunement to the crux of our heritage in a bastardization and civilization of hunger that fell trees and destroy wild habitats for a Lexus E350.

It's selling a transferable capital and sustainability for an unsustainability with planned obsolescence.

It's a defenestration causes by a lack of connection to the treasure of our fathers. it is a lack of intelligence and showcase a bastard nature and theft by a certain group requiring historical check to their claim. 

Only a bastard will sell his father's land Knowing he had children, between he and his father who can tell of a more harder time but still did not resort to sell the treasure that has been passed down from the ages..

South Western radio is rife with Black Friday sale of the land as if they are irons or cookers, what of our unborn children what will be their fate. Are we resigning to become a generation of tenants in their own land?

Obviating a low self-esteem they all want to drive an expensive fuel guzzling Lexus for a year.

Look at our horizon, look how slum like and ugly it is, a locust of bungalows. A man greed, trees are felled, another bungalow, sold to travel abroad, just to cement his low self-esteem with excrement packing for a white man.

Those who thought there would be a housing market haven't seen how population dwindle with the economy and how Japan are suffering an underpopulation. Investing in housing market their capital are stuck in estate buildings that people cannot afford. We are barely surviving talk less of putting a down payment, if a family is minimalist which is an invariable consequence of the times, the living room can be the children's room when night comes and a family of 5 could live in a mini flat.

What happens to your investment in 3 bed rooms,? well you as a landlord had better divide the house to the condo affordable, it ain't getting better. People Will give birth to less children and only the lucky few will even get married. Many singles shacking up for the night will be the future as our morals erode in tandem with the value of our currency.

The housing market is destined to fail.

Elsewhere our Tiv man have closed his book, is walking home thinking what kind of meal he wants to eat tomorrow, frankly he's tired of pounded yam, he has the food, he opens the door of his mud one room apartment, drop his book, picks up the gourd of palm wine, his wife calls for dinner. In the city someone has just bought noodles and fufu to use the seasoning as a bland soup to swallow what can be best as an anchor to reality and it's still expensive.

The Obas, and especially the Oba of Benin really should have a say in the sale of these land, Idumota, Akpongbo are historical facts that prove his part ownership of these lands, but leaving history for another day. Land shouldn't be something we leave to be slung along under the free opening skirt of Free enterprise. This is our food, our pride, and our heritage

Out children are already begging on their land, because of the greed of a passing. A passing living a bloated lifestyle at that

Instead of farming the land, riding a motorcycle, reading and teaching their children about their inheritance and the importance of the land, they want to ride a diabetic Lexus in need of shots and constant check for a year and before it is eventually discarded and done over.

As our money further devalues we need to look for new wayd to live and entrench a value system that must protect abd provide for our heritage, cultures and the future. Rather than living an advertised bloat that might impoverish our unborn, we better start learning new salves.

Like everything the uneducated have inundated and saturated the land market, and I am more concerned because the Southwest have the most fertile land, especially in Ogun state and you see nonsensical house sitting on pure loam gold.

There is no land in the south East and the oligarchs and military have cordoned off all the land in the North because of the climate the remaining farm land are owned by them, the South don't have arable land, listening on radio as these land are being sold to build another bungalow while people living life hungry annoys whatever might think of a state government in me.

Land being sold for half the price because of the exigency of Christmas consumption is a land being sold for nothing for nothing. Knowing nothing but greed, with no thought of the future, the land might laugh and give way for what will be soon to be also sold grave to meet an ancestor shaking his head in akimbo because he can't slap an ethereal.

Let's protect and farm on our land, let's protect our wildlife habitat, a house is not an investment. Land is the real investment it feeds you, animals and the future. End the land market, everywhere especially South West.
