The Yahwenomics of Land and Social Justice and Contemporary Land Resource Crises In Nigeria.

Abstract

Abstract:-This paper examines the Torah and prophetic understanding of Yahweh's economics of land ownership and management and its social justice implications within the covenant community of the Israel. Similarly, the paper also surveys the Nigerian land administrative practices. As a contextual study, it then correlates the biblical perspectives with the contemporary realities of land resource crises and their concomitant communal conflicts in Nigeria. The paper also highlights the elements of contextual connexity between the biblical patterns of land economy and justice vis-à-vis the Nigerian situation. Consequently, inferences are drawn from the Yahwenomics of land and social justice for the development of a just and equitable land policy and administration in Nigeria.
