HAhahahhahahahaa. .. my dea see wahala forchoosing who to sell to?

THose who foolishly sell their land later ends up, after using the earnings gotten from the sale on owambe, cthey later come back shouting "GO BACK TO YOUR YEAST.....ndi ara personified

gidgiddy:
Nobody is obligated to sell anyone land. If someone does not want to sell you land because they don't like your face, it's their choice, it's their right, it's their property.

The only issue I have are those who after willingly selling land, later come back to still claim the land still belongs to them

Selling of land should never be an issue

What the elders say will not be different from what i wrote, if it is, then na Joe Igbokwe kind of elder.... .You thbik say na only una get elders wey be werey? Hell no, we get too, but lucky fo us, they are all in Yoruba land where they can show their werey without sanctions from Ummunna

Strictlygreen:
You don't know more than your elders who have just itted that Abati was not wrong. A'ro' ye o k'agbon.

Ajeeeeee....lol

Bigkoko:
This is why i think you guys have very low IQ. No offense please.
THis is the fact you fail to understand:
1. All land in Igbo alnd are owned by Ummuna who share it to individuals as need arises.
2. Igbos sell land, only those already shared.
3. If you buy or want to buy a land that belongs to Umunna, it isthe owner of the neigboring land that will tell you to tell the seller to tell his Ummunna to officially hand it over to him This is unlikely.
4. Perverture, the Umunna have shared the land oto individuals, its your responsible to find privately owned lands and buy, not the village doing this for you.
5. For your own interest, it is best to undewrstand the customs around land use, sale & transfer of owner in Igboland, which you lots clearly dont want to do.
6. privately owned lands are far too expensive to buy, because of the value that goes with it. Once, bought, no body like you miscreants do online, will watch up one day to cream go back to your ronu land.

BUt, Kunle tell me why you think selling ancestral land will make your lazy ass rich? Ditch those prayers packaged by aunt Remi in Bourdilion and Aso Rock. go and work the farms and afctories...its easier to be rich via that route than selling ancestral lands.

Personally, i find it really absurd that oone werey will wake up and sell ancestral lands without leaving any behind for offsprins...una normal so?

Lolz. Someone that believed the Jubril el sudani nonsense talking about low IQ. Irony seems to fly over your head (if you have one).

Sweet heart we are talking of land here, not tribal/ethnic origins. However, where ever the Igbos say they are from shouldnt be your problem. Focus on where you say you are fom. For instances, the FCT drunkard who nearly fell on the Indian PM speaking as an Ikwerre say they are from Bini..so be it. KUnle is this too hard for your ronu skull to understand?

Strictlygreen:
I thought Igbos said they are Jews from Israel? I didn't know they are indeed Fulani slaves with identity crisis

That is why it's generally assumed you guys have low IQs. This is not a post for vawulence.... otherwise you suppose know i dey like am.

This is a post to educated people who have money and genuinely wants to own a property in Igbo villages, especially those place leaking natral gas! Which in the near future will host Gas fields..... not for apauper like someone ealier pointed out!

HAhahhahahahaha...na the awreness we dey see since 2015..no be so Kunle?

Brenbentondiaz:


Lolz. Very rich coming from someone whose tribe is known for their false sense of importance. You bums absolutely lack a sense of self awareness.

Alaigbo no dey disappoint!

So other places and regions that sold you lands don't have cultures and practices right? Beside there other cultural practices you have abolished why are you still keeping this?
I think you people should abolish this ummuna practices and allow people from other places to acquire lands like you are being allowed in their places.

100% in ! We are not subtle, cunning or treacherous. Any Igbo person with those three characters acquired it from SW... for instance Joe Igbokwe.

Ask Joe when last he attended his Ummunna meeting, abi na b@stard he be, quicly finding out smartly port to ronu kingdom?

AntiChristian:
Alaigbo no dey disappoint!

That is where i have prroblem with some of you Nigerians...if in your wisdom, you abolish your own culture and custom, why wnat another person to do likewise?

For instance, if you create a culture that says rent lands insead of buying it, that is your choice and problem too... after all, if warri offer a bettre choice why will i go with my hard earn money to where i am mandated to rent lands?

Just say you guys listen more to the voice of your stomach and the urgings of owambe than the voice of culture or custom...

Brenbentondiaz:


Or they ran away because no sensible person wants unproductive land in an unproductive region filled with halfbred, uncultured chimps? Or you mean Dangote is too poor to buy land in your yeast?

Like I mentioned people who generational poverty is their their culture and have turned them to slaves of Nigeria financially can never afford land in south east the reasons nobody bothers whether they go and become slaves to dangote or any other Hausa Fulani for that matter because they are incapable or thinking or developing themselves as human beings except slaving for others

As we post here, someone somewhere in Ikare or Okitikpukpa is planning to sell their ancestral land because thevoice of ebi pa waooo is now louder than the voice of custom!

Oga Chukwudi seeing longer term prospect in runnibg his Obioma business in Ikare & environs seriously want to be a land lord. Now, our dear Obioma is carrying his sewing machines looking for customers every day including on Sabbath day..something Oga Chukwudi should not be doing. his wife, Lolo Adanne, understands, quickly start farming pepper, ugu, cocoyam just to help her odogwu who wants to be a land lord in a foreign land. Both of them will succeed because one free loader called Kunle has been dreaming of free money. As if the universe has heard Chukwudi prayers, then Iya Kunle suddenly die, that is years after baba Kunle died.

Kunle decided to sell the land sharp sharp before his brother living under the bridge in Lagos find. In his hurry, he sells it for peanut to Oga chukwudi who borrowed money from his village man Ikenna, promising to be paying small small.

Tomorrow, same fellow, will still turn round to shout South yeast should go back to their Dot nation!!!


We have many Kunles and Chukwudis on nairaland!

Ok why are you crying and complaining when you collect?
Dr Abati pointed out and all of you are crying.

There are 2 types of land in Igbo Land:

1. Ime ohwo or ihu ezi - the clan lands (ancestral lands owned by the family for building houses and living side by side as one blood)
2 ohia /ubi / Mgbo - farm and forest lands owned by same family / clan in the outskirts or nearby the ihu ezi usually for farming, hunting and fallowing.

When 1 starts getting congested, the umunna can share parts of 2 to the next generation for living purposes.

2 is often owned individually when the umunna have shared it according to fathers and fathers assigned them to their sons.

1 is often with fewer empty land space which is often reserved for the immediate next generation to continue building and living together. It is high density. That’s how the towns grow.

YOU CANNOT BUY 1 EASILY IF AT ALL, BUT SHOW UP WITH YOUR MONEY TO ANYONE AND 2 IS YOURS WITHIN A WEEK MAX. You just pay the price to the owner directly plus 1 goat and palm wine for umunna and umunna will sign off as witnesses. That’s all.

Those that say Igbos don’t sell their land have demonstrated their ignorance of primary school geography and social studies, and the fact that they don’t travel. Someone said Rueben’s PhD needs revisiting and it’s true. The Okoko doesn’t know anything about research.

The Ancestral lands in Igbo land can only be ed from generation to generations. A similar practice in Europe, Asia and others

However there are other bigger lands outside the Ancestral lands that can be bought and sold by anyone. There are several real estates in the South East. Anyone anywhere can buy them.

Igbos place value on lands that's why it's one of their most valued assets.

You are a true definition of an igbo!

One of my cousins in South Korea is currently looking for millions to top up his spare parts business because Asiwaju foolishly devalue the naira outside the scope of economic Principles...yet he dare not sell some of our lands scattered all over in the village! This is even though, he is the eldest male of the generation holding the family together. Me sef, i no get tens of million to give am, and me too, i no selling lands to top up business. Me sef, i dey look for $300,000 to take my business to next level. Yet, those free loaders from SW will not think twice before selling lands...

Can some one direct the okoko called Abati to read this post of yours!

You explained it bettter than i did biko... This is exactly what i was told about eight years ago. I was asked to chose from one Ohia like that....

Just read what others, real Igbos are posting. check if its any different from what i posted. These are people from real villages, from real families/umunna and have lands to their names!

Every real igbo man must leave an inheritance to his children, that is a fact...not shalaye wey una dey pratice, and call am custom!

Naajjii:

No naaa...as killer herdsmen has the mind to ask for free RUGA lands, these ones too want free land! Hahahahahaha...make them face Benue..(No offense please). There is no free land in Igbo land. Any Governor that promise you that will give you from his own Ummunna ...

Zionmdde:

I dont understand how our learned Intellingensia can not explain thses facts to the coconut head Abati . There is no real Igbo male from a real village in SE who have come of age that does not know these things...

That's their headache o

I pity Igbos still investing there. Massive real estate investments is ongoing in the East. Make dem chop their lands

The entire Iboland is about the size of Oyo State. As a matter of fact, I can jog through Iboland in a couple of days.

ElSudani:
Very backward practices. Only males can inherit land bla bla bla.
Why is Abati being attacked if what he said is the truth?
Write up garnished with lies about land ownership in Yorubaland.
If you like change your ethnicity to bororo Fulani that is your problem, I doubt if there's a single Yoruba who will even bother to ask you why?

Don't mind the toxic low self-esteem bigot of an OP who claims to live in Rwanda and has become notorious for ranting B.S. on this website. How can someone who claims to run a business concern in Kigali be using his NL profile to at the same time spew hate? He is destroying potential business that would have come his way from those of us who have international business ties. He could have made his points WITHOUT fabricating reckless tales about land ownership in Yorubaland and resorting to casting aspersions on the Yoruba folks who are over 60 million people worldwide and indigenous to multiple West African countries. He thinks by saying he prefers to be a "Fulani" he would hurt Yoruba folks. Such a bloody idiot!

I have known about this Ibo system of land ownership for years because I read a lot so what's with the simultaneous useless sob story and bragging from this creepy OP? Yoruba folks and Ibos East of River Niger DON'T share direct ancestry and cultures. The closest buffer ethnicity between the Yorubas of Kogi and Anambra and Enugu are the Igala ethnicity whose language is Yoruboid meaning it's very close to Yoruba being that some Yoruba ancestries exist within Igala which is a fusion around the Niger confluence and Idah axis of migrant Jukuns from Wukari now in Taraba, Yorubas, Edos, etc, within the last 600 to 700 years according to a 2017 interview that the late Attah of Igala granted to Sunday Punch. Agenebode in Edo State faces Idah on the other side of River Niger in Kogi State directly on the Nigerian map. This is why Yorubas and Igalas use similar words like Omi (meaning water), Ifa (Ifa areligion), Ogede (meaning plantain and banana), Igbo (Igbo in Igala meaning bush or forest), Akuko (meaning cock) which all do NOT have spelling variations... and other words such as Ewa (Egwa in Igala), Egungun (Egwugwu in Igala), Ogun (Ogwu in Igala meaning medicine), Ogun (Ogwu in Igala meaning war). These words and many more in Igala language are pure Yoruba words derivatives because of ancestral relationships between Yorubas and Igalas. This is how a tiny amount of those Yoruba words found there way into Igbo language such as Akuko which is purely a Yoruba word and definitely came into the Anambra area through the indigenous Igalas of Anambra and or Enugu States). So, that's where the link ends.

Any land you see being (leased) in Yorubaland is just EXTRA lands belonging to prominent land-owning families and will be returned to the owners after the lease period expires. Whatever house, mansions, factories or buildings exist on the LEASED or RENTED land is demolished by the Yoruba land owners after the lease period EXPIRES. Such a thing took place a few years back in the 2010s when the lease on some lands ended in Ojo area in Lagos and the courts granted the Yoruba land owners to move in and demolish the large numbers of houses on the tracts of lands for other purposes. In reality NO land is sold BUT only rented out or leased.

In Ghana, the lease period of lands is 50 years for all foreigners after which the original owners collect their lands back for other uses.

Well, i take it as a compliment that you are a bit smarter than others before you from that divide.... So I will tone down my response. Yes, we have business interest in Rwanda, the Nordics and other African countries. If you want the best in Consultancy, we are your best plug. If you seek a marketplace, try ours! If you need a Gift card that works in Africa, Bigkoko Gift card is your best bet any day, any time. So Mr. What do you for a living? BEC? Yahoo? Love scams, jobless or amongst the 30k geng? Please kindly note that as a principled business man, I don't poke my nose into useless holes....what you do for a living is your problem to deal with, not mine!

Now take as it's still hot!
I know people who insults others are usually the first to cry out!
Firstly, anything I wrote has been done 1000 times by 🤡 clowns from your side. Should I remind you how the white haired cultist Prof Wole Soyinka called a sitting First lady names and insults too horrendous to mention here? first in Nigeria history! Maybe only yorubatic idiots have the right to insult others. Better degrade your foolishness. 2024 is coming to an end!

Should I remind you how your brothers carried the coffin of president GEJ in Ibadan? First in Nigeria history..... Should I drop pictures?

If it were to be in Japan or more deeply conservative countries in Asia, a lot of your people would have committed religious suicide ritual called seppuku in Japan so as to appease other parts of Nigeria that their foolishness were not intentional....

I know you guys actually have no ashamed....so no need.

For your information, Reuben Abati has since tendered an apology for lying against the Igbos, for which this post was made. Reuben Abati lied that a Yoruba who married an Igbo lady was refused land buying deal because he's not Igbo. However, truth has emerged that the in-laws instead of collecting money from him, gave him FREE land instead!

Igbos are not as shameless as you guys. Not that we care though. Let every mumu carry their mumu go front!

Spare us what concoction you piece here about Igbos. We're not even interested in knowing about Yoruba. All we desire a good homeland to build a thriving society for all, which regrettably Nigeria is not to us the Igbos and to other idiots that thinks Igbos hate Nigeria.

Finally,
Bragging? Hahaha.....poor slobs are always intimidated. I'm not the one who kept you as is Biko. Imagine parcels of inheritance my dear ancestors were prudent and nice enough to leave for us, make I no brag with am? Sorry dear if your own ancestors didn't leave any for you to brag about. I'm happy my ancestors were not foolish as to sell it all. Me too won't be that foolish. And to you who decides to sell his ancestral land, hopefully someone insane would buy it from you, as for me, I will rather donate it to any charity than buy land anywhere in SW. Land wet una go sell to five different people...lol

I am a good man. I have no problem with those who wants to sell their ancestral land.... just that I won't buy!

If your ancestors sold those lands before birthing you, which land will you see you send?

But, as the sun rises up & goes down, the selling of land in SW by Yorubas to Igbos will never end. Infact someone right now is planning to sell the only ancestral land their entire family own, so he can buy gold chains, bleaching cream, marry more wives, sew more akara and throw an owambe! Wish him luck!
