Calling all Nigerian, pay attention to the Chinese people and other foreigners trying to buy and own large areas of your farmlands, your children will die of hunger. If foreigners own large areas of a country's farmland, that country could lose control over its own food.
Even America is fighting right now to get their farmlands back from Chinese owners. Don't sell
Here’s are more reasons why we shouldn’t sell big farmlands to outsiders.
1. Economic control
�Foreign owners might export most of the crops or profits back to their home countries. This can drain wealth out of the local economy instead of boosting local farmers and businesses.
2. Land prices and access
�When wealthy foreigners buy up farmland, it can drive land prices way up. That makes it harder for local farmers.. especially young or small farmers... to afford land and start farming. It can hollow out rural communities over time.
3. Cultural and heritage protection:�In many countries, land is more than just real estate.. it’s tied to history, traditions, and identity. Allowing foreigners to control it risks eroding those deep connections, especially if the new owners don’t respect or understand the local culture.
4. Political influence
�When foreigners own big chunks of land, they sometimes start influencing local politics... lobbying for rules that favor them, not the local people. That can undermine a country’s democracy and sovereignty over time.
5. Environmental concerns
�Foreign owners might not have the same long-term care for the land. They could over farm, pollute, or strip resources without worrying about the environmental damage left behind for the local community.
