There is absolutely no denial to the awful continuous and strenuous labour our forefathers endured in captivity by their slave masters.
• Synopsis of slavery.
Our forefathers who were in bondage for over three hundred years toiled, sweat and even shed blood and tears while being often times cruelly raped, whipped and dog bitten but yet they were able to sacrifice their lives and labour by passing on these properties formerly known as plantations to their descendants as an inheritance.
Many of our forefathers died while working under inhumane conditions on these plantations.
In the slaves era these properties were all used as plantations for cotton, coffee, and tobacco growth and were then considered to be of immense economic value for the export of these produce.
The abolishing of the slaves trade automatically resulted in the closure of agriculture on these plantations that were later given to the freed slaves by their masters.
* Today these properties or plantations are logically and legitimately called indigenous
succession land simply because the landowners are all heirs and descendants of the
former slave era.
* Today no cotton, coffee or tobacco is being cultivated on these properties like in the
past.
* Today no slaves and their off springs are working the land.
* Today one thing is for sure these succession properties do have more economic
market values than in the past.
* Today the heirs and descendants of the former slave era are the proud owners of the
succession properties.
• Prime, private and prosperous properties.
We the indigenous property owners consider our indigenous succession lands to be:
1) sacred properties to which we attach valuable, historical and ancestral meanings.
2) precious properties that should not be touched or tampered with by outsiders.
3) prime, private and prosperous properties due to its location with the esthetic and
panoramic views of the surroundings and having dread development potentials.
• Targeting our territories.
Since the closure of the slave era our indigenous succession lands have come under severe scrutiny or surveillance of several formidable forces whose aim are to rid the indigenous property owners off their awesome assets.
These pirates, parasites and prostitutes come in all sorts of fashions, features, figures and forms such as dread developers, "reputable real estate agents", "genuine government" of corrupt commissioners with their cronies.
Each one of these "corporate crooks" certainly are in possession of hidden agendas and ulterior motives which definitely are not in our best interests, therefore the indigenous property owners should always be on alert and aware of their incredible intentions.
• Terrible tactics.
Our "genuine government's" moves and motives are all designed for and concentrated on fatiguing and frustrating the indigenous property owners by:
1) imposing or placing all sorts of restrictions on the developing possibilities of the
indigenous succession properties such as the hillside policy, building stops etc as
"innocent incentives" to the local man.
2) imposing of the planning permit ordinances that often will not allow the indigenous
property owners to sub divide their properties as they will like to and therefore they
are forced to sell their properties.
3) dread developers who want to purchase the precious properties from the indigenous
people but often way below the market value, apparently because the descendants of
former slaves will be receiving too much money for the sales of the former
plantations.
4) "Reputable real estate agents" who besides representing the dread developers, the
indigenous peoples properties and also in the first and foremost place themselves will
always want to cut a deal on both sides of the fence.
• Obvious observation.
There are some commissioners and their cronies who have this noble notion that they are entitled to wrestle away the indigenous people's succession properties from its owners at all cost by offering in exchange little money and worthless domain dump properties in stark contrast to the beach front properties own and operated by the Wattleys in town.
What a thing!!!!! The Wattleys on the beaches and the Willies on the dump!!!!!
We will inform the public on this matter in due time!!!!!
• Political policies on prime properties.
The fact that foreign developers who operate in prime areas such as on beaches, Dawn beach and lowland areas etc are explicitly exempted from all types of restrictions while coincidently and perhaps even conveniently indigenous property owners are experiencing or encountering restrictions on developing their succession and hillside properties do raise hairs and eyebrows.
These actions by our "genuine government" of corrupt commissioners with their cronies are geared to strip indigenous people of their properties and as such suck, smell and smack of:
Politicians claiming people's properties!!!!!
