The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed concern over what it described as unequal land ownership rights across Nigeria.

It lamented that while southerners freely acquire land and property in the North, northerners are often denied the same opportunity in the southern part of the country.

Speaking during a meeting of the ACF Board of Trustees in Kaduna, the forum’s BOT chairman, Alhaji Bashir Dalhatu, called for urgent land ownership reform across the 19 northern states to protect indigenous interests and prevent foreign takeover.

“It is deeply regrettable that southerners have refused to reciprocate the noble gesture by the North. In fact, in many parts of the South, especially in the Southeast, a northerner cannot expect to acquire one square foot of land, not to speak of owning any significant landed property,” Dalhatu said.

He noted that the North has for centuries opened its doors to Nigerians from all regions, offering them hospitality and land ownership rights, yet this goodwill has not been matched.

“We must ensure that northerners do not become landless in their own territory,” he warned, urging northern governors and legislators to carry out a comprehensive reform of land ownership and control.

Dalhatu also raised alarm over a “mad scramble for land in the North by foreigners,” adding that this development requires immediate action to protect regional sovereignty.

“These negative developments have prompted a growing disenchantment and disillusionment amongst northerners against the federation of Nigeria,” he said.

“Some in the North now openly question the rationale or justification for remaining in the union.”

The ACF further alleged that northerners face maltreatment and attacks in the South, even when simply ing through.

“Even innocent northerners on journeys through southern states get killed or subjected to inhumane treatment, a tragedy which, unfortunately, successive istrations in this country have failed to stop,” Dalhatu lamented.

He called on the federal government to address what the forum sees as growing marginalisation and to revisit laws governing land and unity in the country.

This is how stupid people talk.
First spend money and rent a common room then we can talk about buying of land.

Start 1st with renting an apartment in d South

And not living inside d bushes and uncompleted building for free🫤

Utterly Delusional... I bet this set of people have never set foot out of their states before, for them to be saying this.

Lies. There are numerous real estate establishments in the South. Which did they approach? Since they are ed, they shouldn't be hard to find?

Sell a plot of land to them and the jihadist agenda resurfaces on the mission to conquer all the land in the state and its inhabitant.

Because you guys are like Indians -- give then a little space and see how they will forcefully takeover the land, what the hell.

Hell no, no Southerner wants to take such risk again, you guys can move to Niger Republican😂

Which south can you not own lands...?

they should check this people....

ACF miss fire here, it's only in the south East that acquiring land is not allowed by stranger except you are an indigene of that state
ACF are still leaving in stone age.

Hmmm.

The southerners will never bring their entire community to start a village in your state and began to mobilize for government and fighting to be sworn in as a governor or seeking to be recognized as an indigene of the state they only rented or bought the land to build on.


You want the southern people to experience the trauma you're causing in Plateau state? Or what you're currently doing in Benue?

#

Come to Agege, Lagos!

Cloud chasers are you sure you can afford a plot of land in the south or you thought these land were giving to the south free of charge

Not true... You can buy in the South South and South West But Can't buy in the South East

Maybe Dangote, Dantata, BuA don turn Southerners

Can you really afford to buy

You can buy...just that you want the government to seize the lands from the owners and give you for FREE.


Dangote is now a southerner 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

okay...the one that u will use Cutlass to chase them away from .. whenever Una start una madness...any southerners that goes to the core north and buy land and go further to build house.is doing so for charity..the house and the land were not originally his
