KWARA FOR SALE (It's cheap, grab it now) - Series 1
(Released: 26th May 2004)

Recently a total of 200,000 hectares of land were allocated for displaced One Hundred (100) Zimbabwean white farmers for Zimbabwean farm settlement by the Kwara State Government. Governor Bukola Saraki told reporters that his government had entered into “negotiation with the British government” over the more 2000 farmers “displaced by the Zimbabwean government”. He said the main purpose is to “bring in foreign investors” to Kwara State” he added “the state stands to benefit from the huge resources and high tech equipment available to displace farmers”.  The five-man delegation from Zimbabwean colleagues left Ilorin with a written agreement from Kwara State government to grant 15 farmlands of 1000 hectare each (out of the 200,000 hectare allocated to them) complete with basic infrastructures. These include

three-bedroom house for each farmer. Surveyors have also been appointed to update current maps and demarcate farm boundaries, at the expense of the Kwara State government.

Despite indicating a preference for title deed ownership, the invading farmers were offered 50-99 years leases to minimize political fallout. In the words of Governor Bukola Saraki, he said “Granting full title will play into the hands of our critics.”  He said the farmers would also be issued signed guarantees prohibiting the state from expropriating their land at a future date. The agreement gives the go-ahead for a vanguard of pioneers to clear virgin bush along the Niger River and establish Nigeria's first Zimbabwean Community. Expectedly, those who throw their weight behind this people annihilating project include the one and only Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Zulu Gambari: “We want many white people here.” He said. Governor Saraki knowing fully the gravity of his people's enslavement project conceded there could be political fallout says "... politically it doesn't look good, but we have to take the flak today and reap the benefits tomorrow."
 

LET’S REASON TOGETHER

Whose land Governor Saraki will be giving away, as many farmers in the state hungry for more available land. Agriculture remains the main industry of Kwara State. Climatic conditions are somewhat more tropical and moist than those of

Zimbabwean are. Kwara State is 32,500 square kilometres in size. 200,000 hectare of land allocated to the invading evicted foreign white farmers is equivalent to 2000 square kilometres value. A measurement of area is equal to 2000 in 32,500 square kilometers which is 1/16.25 (6.15%) of the state total land mass. Estimated population of Kwara State is about 2 million about 70% of whom
