ABSTRACT
Land possesses numerous values, which is dependent on various factors. Landowners
and developers desire secured interest on land. Studies established the fact
that the security of interest on land is at risk with the emerging activities
of Omo-Onile in South Western Nigeria. The word “Omo-Onile” (a Yoruba term)
literally means “the child of the landowner”. The study addresses the
historical context and cultural factors underpinning the intricate web of power dynamics and
informal land governance. This study investigates the modus operandi of
Omo-Onile actors, their negotiation tactics, and the mechanisms they employ to
assert control over land transactions, often resulting in multiple claims and
conflicts with focus on landowners and developers in particular. The
significant impact of the activities of Omo-Onile on the land market of five
number sampled local governments in Ibadan metropolis was significantly
analysed. The study adopted both descriptive analysis and inferential analysis.
It was observed that male respondents take the highest frequency of 173
(69.5%), age interval (41 - 50) respondents attempted the questionnaire at 71
(28.5%) and the majority of the respondents have formal education. The lowest
level of respondents with School Leaving certificate was 50 (20%) and OND 50 (20%). Inferential statistics in
the form Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Reliability Analysis Statistics (RAS)
show that factors influencing the activities of Omo-Onile are positively
interrelated under the study. Therefore, it is very important that the
government should put in place laws that will checkmate the activities of
Omo-Onile in Nigeria, Ibadan, Oyo State in particular.
