A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to seek help after the family that sold her a plot of land in 2022 quietly resold part of the same property to another buyer two years later.
Omosi Etsako, who said she saved the money for the land by selling clothes online — gathering it N500 and N1,000 at a time — bought a 100 by 100 plot in 2022.

Her uncle, who introduced her to the land, only informed her of a problem with the property in 2024, explaining that he had kept quiet earlier because she was pregnant and he did not want to cause her stress.
When she finally pressed him for details, he revealed that the family who originally sold her the land had resold a portion of it to raise money for repairs to their family home.
What happened after she fenced her land
After learning about the situation, Etsako moved quickly to protect what remained of her property and went ahead to fence it. However, the person the family had sold the other portion to destroyed her fence and encroached on her land.
She said she attempted to resolve the matter peacefully. The family offered to give her a replacement plot, but when she went to inspect it, she found it was undeveloped forest with no clear timeline for development.
The second buyer then approached her and said that if she was willing to sell her remaining 50 by 100, he would buy it from her.
In her TikTok post, Etsako, who spoke in Pidgin, described the land as the product of years of hard work and said she was not prepared to walk away from it.
"This is my sweat, my years of hard work that they are about to steal away from me," she wrote.
