Yoruba Elders Criticized by Leo Dasilva for Selling Family Land to Igbos

In a recent turn of events, social commentator Scott Iguma and former Brazilian footballer Leo DaSilva have found themselves at odds over land sales in Yoruba land.

The controversy began when Scott Iguma, known for his commentary on corruption in various sectors, addressed the issues of land sales in Yoruba land. Iguma suggested that if there is concern over outsiders in Yoruba land, leaders could focus on building seaports and international airports in other states to encourage foreigners to do business elsewhere.

However, Iguma's suggestions were met with criticism from Leo DaSilva. DaSilva, who has been silent on the topic of building seaports and airports, referred to the actions of Yoruba elders as greedy. He also stated that family disputes over inherited property among Yoruba people have contributed to the situation of Yoruba elders selling family land to Igbos.

In response to Iguma's claims that some Yoruba elders willingly sell land to outsiders instead of using it to benefit their urban communities, DaSilva agreed, stating that the actions of Yoruba elders have made them a subject of ridicule. He also accused Yoruba people of being greedy in their handling of inherited property.

Unlike Iguma, DaSilva has not made any direct accusations of corruption in the real estate sector. Nor has he suggested any solutions to the issue, unlike Iguma, who proposed the construction of seaports and airports as a potential solution.

DaSilva expressed his thoughts on the matter on Twitter, where he has been vocal about the issue. However, unlike Iguma, he has not been directly addressed in response to his comments, unlike his earlier criticism of Yoruba elders.

This debate between Iguma and DaSilva highlights the ongoing concerns over land sales in Yoruba land and the need for solutions to address the issue. As the conversation continues, it is hoped that a constructive dialogue will lead to a more equitable distribution of resources and a stronger, more unified community.
