The Director of The Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi has taken to his official X account to speak about land in Igbo land.
Sam Amadi made the statement following claim by Arise TV presenter, Dr. Abati that Igbos don’t sell land to non indigenes.
According to Sam Amadi on his page on Saturday, he said in his village, he can’t purchase community land. Sam Amadi said during farming season, they receive portion of the land to farm and when the season is over, the land becomes communal ownership. He said once family land is shared, he can sell his own to anybody.
According to Sam Amadi;
“In my village, I can not buy community land. I and my wife receive portion every farming season like any other married male and wife. After the season, the land reverts to communal ownership. Once family land is shared, i can sell mine to a Kanuri man”.
