Land Law
Series 1
Concept of Ownership of Land
'Land is an incential base for all social and commercial interactions'
K. Gray and S.F. Gray Elements of Land law
Many individuals believe that land is a property capable of being owned. Land in itself as property is incapable og being owned. You can own your car completely, own a watch, a pen, but not a land.
What a citizen can own in a land is the rights attached to the land or certain rights the government/law allow a citizen to enjoy from use of that land. Such rights capable of being owned include: Right to alienate/transfer interest in land to third parties; Right to exclude others from interferance with enjoyment of rights or use of land; right to it possession etc.
Example of Government restricted right derivable from a land, include right to its mineral resources. An indvidual is restricted from the enjoyment of this right.
What your Certificate of Occupancy gives you is not the land itself, rather, it the right to enjoy certain unrestricted benefits capable of being derived from the said land e.g Farming, erecting buildings, use of water under the land (it has it own rules) etc.
This explains one of the rationale for the Land Use Act, 1978, Under this Act, the Governor of the state where the land situate is the owner, the individual is simply a tenant of the governor, having right of occupancy and beneficial interest of the land or simply a usufruct right. Abioye v. Yakubu.
In Madam Suduratu Salami &Ors v Eniola Oke Oputa JSC. Stated:
"...the innovations introduced by the Act was to divest any claimant of radical title and limit his claim to a right of ocuupance"
Individuals, you are not the owner of the land you are on, you are a tenant whose authority on land is subject to the Governor's right, whose right of interference with the tenant's use and enjoyment is regulated by law.
See. Section 44 CFRN and the Provisions of Land Use Act and the Mineral Resouces Act.

Why would you leave Islam for Atheism?
Haleemah, reading your post is sad, but it reveals a very common tragedy. You can claim to be religious, pray five times a day, have the dark mark on your forehead, and stay up for Tahajjud.
But if your foundation is built purely on rituals without knowledge, any small breeze will knock you down.
This was the core of my last lecture with the MSSN students at FUPRE some weeks back. We spent time unpacking this exact topic to prove the existence of God.
The goal was to make people understand that to attain Yaqeen (true certainty) in your faith, you need rational observation and conviction. Faith is not meant to be blind. It requires active reasoning.
Your core problem is glaring. You had all the outward actions of faith but lacked the intellectual grounding of Aqeedah. When those three girls challenged you to prove God exists, you failed the test.
The real issue is not that you lacked the answer in that moment. We all have blind spots. The tragedy is concluding that because you lacked the answer, no answer exists.
Why not ask those who are superior to you in knowledge? The fact that you do not know something does not mean there is no answer for it. You only allowed Shaitan to trick you into abandoning your foundation.
If you are ever confronted with this question again, here is a model answer you should say confidently:
It comes down to the undeniable law of cause and effect. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. The universe has a beginning, so it must have a cause outside of itself.
This cause must be uncaused, timeless, spaceless, and immensely powerful to bring space, time, and matter into existence.
Beyond that, look at the precision of the universe. The sheer design, balance, and fine-tuning of the cosmos point directly to an Intelligent Designer.
If you walk in the desert and find a complex wristwatch in the sand, common sense tells you a watchmaker built it. It did not assemble itself over billions of years by chance. The universe is infinitely more complex than a watch.
We do not believe in a Creator because of storybooks. We believe because logic, science, and the reality of creation demand that a Creator exists. You build your faith on rational conviction, not just emotion.
Those who are a bit knowledgeable amongst them might rush in with multiverse theories, quantum fluctuations, or asking "who created God"?
Here, I want you to understand that infinite regressions are logically impossible. A multiverse still requires a generator, quantum particles do not create themselves from absolute nothingness, and by definition, the Ultimate First Cause must be uncaused.
And to you aethist, I know you all will flood my page. I am ready for you all. It’s high time I focused on you guys to let the world know that you people are tools of Shaitan.
Allah knows best.
