Nigeria Should Ban Interment Of The Dead In Their Compound. by Nobody: 5:50pm On Apr 27, 2022 |
it has become a tradition in Nigeria that most corpses are usually buried in their compound instead of at a public cemetary. burying dead in their compound is bad for real estate business and land laws. An example of this dilemma is the guy on this thread who was contemplating his family land with is mom's grave in the compound. https://www.nairaland.com/7093708/should-sell-late-mothers-house 63 Likes 7 Shares

successmatters:Only in third world African countries do people bury the dead in their compound.even south Africa does not practice such . burying of the dead in their compound is bad for real estate. I have mentioned on my other thread that Nigerian needs real estate land reform. we can not afford the current method if Nigeria will be developed. In fact , most Nigerians do not pay property tax . and yet you expect roads and street lights and public amenities to be fixed? there needs to be compulsory property tax which will deter people from thinking the land belongs to them forever and therefore burying dead on the land. people should pay heavy property tax if they want to own a home. if you can't afford property tax then rent an apartment. 126 Likes 6 Shares |

Are you kidding me? Do you know what goes on in public cemetery? What we should first focus on is security. After securing those alive then we can talk of securing the dead before such practices can be encouraged. 399 Likes 15 Shares |

hammermcc: See bros, there is something I need you to understand. That very guy you are talking about in the earlier thread, who wanted to sale a piece of property but was having conscience attacks, he is the only child of his late mum. Now, adults around, particularly his mums people had chosen to bury the woman in that compound for a reason which is beyond you. That burial in that compound was done so that no one could dispossess the young man of his property in the future. Whatever old people did, it was always for a purpose. But as the saying goes, anything that has advantage will also have a disadvantage. 356 Likes 30 Shares |

No one has replied my suggestion about compulsory property tax. In Nigeria most people do not pay property tax both for land and house , Once you buy a land and build a house in Nigeria ,it's yours forever, that should not be the case. there must be compulsory property tax. the money will be used to build and maintain roads, street lights, waste removal, etc. Even if the land is empty , the land owner must be paying tax for that land. that will discourage people from fighting over land due to the responsibilities involved. Also, land owners would be encouraged to utilize profit from their land and property , in order to generate profit to maintain the land. For example , a landowner can use their land for agriculture to generate profit. the bigger the house and amenities and land, the bigger the property tax. If a land owner or home owner defaults on payment of property tax, the land and house would be seized by the authorities . Let me give you example, if Michael Jackson's Neverland was in Nigeria, he would not lose it because most Nigerians do not pay income tax, property tax ,sales tax ,etc. There must also be compulsory insurance for all cars, whether the person is driving the car or not, he or she must pay insurance for that car . that will deter people from buying 10 cars . Also wrongful parking and overloading of vehicles must be heavily fined we must learn from what other successful countries are doing and do the right thing or we will keep going in circles in the name of backward traditions and culture. 28 Likes 6 Shares |

naija4life247:Listen ,we we need to implement a strong institutional system of checks and balance which will close the current loopholes and eradicate massive corruption as currently going on in Nigeria. The loopholes are currently open that's why it's easy for public officer holders to embezzle without repercussion. judiciary and legislature must be strongly separated in all possible ways . if most of these are implemented, it wont matter where the governors and president is from? . 8 Likes |

To everyone opposing this progressive methods, keep in mind that this is just one of a few policies that needs to be implemented in order for Nigeria to move towards true development like very other developed country in the world. No doubt these methods may face some resistance at first in the name of tradition and culture. In the end , the right ting will eventually prevail when Nigerians are really serious and ready to develop . 8 Likes |
