By Omamuminogho Aderojo TualeStrangers who came to me pleading that I should help them with somewhere to pass the night for some days eventually became friend. This strangers who came along with their wives and children has eventually grown so much in number that in my normal usual generosity, i gave some portion out from my lands that they should build on for a while till they leave; again another set of family joined them and they pleaded with me to allow them to stay with me and my family in my territory provided they would be rendering me services and same time paying me rentage.
Today these set of strangers that I help some years back have suddenly grown in number more than I the landlord. Even my own territory was taken over and lord over as their own, my boys quarter that I build for my unborn children were taken over and the little space that I finally decide to build my three bed room, these same stranger and tenants also came and plead with me to give them some room or space within it to occupy. Now as I speak they have taken every space in my three bed room flat except my room which I and my wife and children dwells in. Some of the (Tenants) do come to my room to pass the night and now they are using tricks and also pleading with me to allow them join me and my family in my matrimonial bed.
I called the attention of my siblings, cousins, and distance relations to look into this issue on ground and look for a way to either asked this strangers and tenants to leave my land and house because their number has outshine my own family population but my family kept on telling me to forget it that i should live them alone and allow them have those of my properties and lands. All my family do and think is their political positions, money, and fake luxury life they are after. Do you know those tenants sued me as their landlords? They even threatened me that anything I have would be shared with me including my Political positions. The only thing that remains now is my Fathers Golden property they are yet to share with me yet my brothers are still saying I should forget it. The funniest thing here is that my brothers are living like people who don’t have future, whom God did not bless; they live like one without plans.
Do you know I can longer speak my language anymore in my territory God gave to me? My brother’s children have suddenly abandoned their home to go pitch tent in a strange land and living as tenants? Those who still manage to stay behind in this managed territory are living in fear and as tenants and slaves? Some years back, a whole me landlord was fought by my own tenants and strangers? They killed some of my family members. After these whole problems, instead of my brothers to join hands with me to build our Kingdom and territory, they were busy acquiring wealth and following after money. Those of my brothers who were opportune to get into political positions were selling most of our father’s properties and the territory for their own selfish interest. My own brothers were even killing themselves. Can you imagine that? What do I do my people in this whole issue? Please I need your advice before I do otherwise.
