HOW TO BECOME A LANDLORD
A Tenant or dependent of a tenant wishing to become a landlord is a mind set issue its a thing of the mind and a determination and will power on the part of the Tenant.
There are many obstacles to becoming a Landlord some of which include the environment, finances, the people around one, Ones knowledge bases and that of these that one relates with.
A determination to own a property against all odds, gives one the flexibility as to where to purchase a land or building, and the types of property one proposes to have.
A room on a parcel of land is a property jut as mansion is equally a property.
A first timer should start with considering the budget they have. 2 where can they obtain land within their budget.
WHERE TO OBTAIN LAND,
This a big question, is it in a village, an undeveloped area, virgin land. How far from ones place of work or Business.
As stated earlier where one buys land is determined by many factors namely ones place of work, opinions of people around one A persons place of work or business.
The determination to own a place should be the ultimate driving force not views of people around .place of work or business which may change over time.
The decision to own a property is a long term investment decision Land anywhere has a current value which appreciates in value over time.
A hamlet becomes a village, then develops into a town over a period of time as the place becomes more populated with like minded people who wish to own a property.
A village land increases in value over a period of times so wherever one decides within ones budget will appreciate in value over a period of time.

COMMUNITY POLICING
Various initiative have been developed in the western world to deal with increase in rate of crime. One of such initiatives is community policing which is based on a partnership between the community and the police.
As has been outlined the community and peoples perception of the police in most developing countries steams from the origin of the present police force (from colonial police force to modern day police).
Some of the colonial laws and policies were draconian apart from the English laws which were made directly applicable to British colonies in Africa and some laws were enacted for the colonies which were enforced by the police established under colonial law.
There were colonial laws which the people perceived as oppressive were enforced by the police. In some Africa Colonies there were policies which were discriminatory. Any attempt by the local people at that time to protest was regarded as a civil disturbance to be handled by the colonial police.
The orientation of present day police in many African common-wealth countries was based on the orientation / organization and structure inherited from the colonial era when it was established.
Since the establishment of the police department in various developing countries they have been utilised for various purposes. Public perception about the police has been based on the role of the police and their activities over the years. The police have not been allowed to maintain their independence and impartiality.
People in developing countries see the police as an extension of the government.
The discriminatory and segregation policies which existed during the colonial era is still evident in the way matters are handled by the
People who are wealthy influential are treated differently from these who are socially and economically disadvantaged. READ MORE lhttp://arbitersowemimo..com.ng/2016/02/community-policing-in-developing.html

WHAT IS MEDIATION ?


The idea of mediation [third party intervention] is as old as most of the Africa societies
and predates colonization of African states.

Colonization/State intervention and the introduction to the western styled model of dispute resolution process/system led to the decline in development of third party intervention in African societies although the process is still very popular in most African communities.

Mediation exist in various forms and there is no universally accepted definition. There are various definition but a working definition will suffice.

Mediation is a process whereby a neutral third party to a dispute intervenes in disputes involving at least two other parties with the intention of resolving it.
For instance where an elder in a village who is not a party to the dispute for the parties.
Third party intervention disputes in developing countries have been in existence for centuries but state intervention in the affairs of communities has affected the development of traditional mediation as a dispute resolution process.

Although there is no universal accepted definition of mediation, there are certain accepted features that distinguish mediation from other dispute resolution processes. Some of the features are common to the various forms of mediation.

FEATURES OF MEDIATION

There must be a subsisting disputes between at least two parties which can be the subject of mediation. It should be noted that thee are some issues that cannot be mediated.
For instance issues relating to interpretation of the provisions of the law or a section of the law cannot be mediated. Some issues require authoritative determination of issues by a court or a tribunal.

[2] There must be a natural third party who acts as an intervener. The mediator of the third party must have no interest in the matter which is the subject of dispute.

[3] The process involves communication between the parties through the third party.

[4] The outcome of a mediation process is an agreement which is not binding.

[5] Mediation process is a voluntary process an disputing parties must consento accept any agreement reached.

[6] the process is informal, flexible and relatively inexpensive when compared to the other dispute resolution processes.

Mediation process should be distinguished from settling a case out of court, this is also out of court, just that the case was not withdrawn out of court.
One of the core element and distinguishing characteristics of mediation is the third party intervention.

The emergence of third party in any dispute may signal the beginning of a mediation process albeit informally. It is important to identify the intervener and be aware of the role they are expected to play during the resolution process.

Some mediation processes are formal whilst other are informal. An informal mediator can commence at any time but usually when a intervener has been identified.
A formal mediator involves following laid down procedure and guidelines.
For instance parties must consent to the mediation and must adhere to the procedure and guidelines for nomination and appointment of mediators.

SCOPE OF MEDIATION
mediation is a flexible process which can be utilized to deal with various types of matters. The flexibility an adaptability are its strongest elements which makes it a unique process.
