This thread centers on a user's experience setting up a farm in Lusada, Ogun State, which quickly pivots from agricultural advice to a heated discussion about local 'land agents' (omo onile) and land disputes. While the original poster mentions farming plans, the majority of the conversation focuses on the risks of land acquisition, the behavior of local traditional rulers and agents, and community security, with only minor tangential advice on crops and livestock.
