Abstract
Land is a great asset to humanity but the effort of man to derive the maximum benefit from land is often fettered by the right of his neighbour to utilise the adjacent landed property in line with his own pleasure. The interference manifests in terms of noise pollution, discomfort and other disturbances that affect the enjoyment of the land owned by other landlords. Are the disturbances and interference justified or justifiable in the face of serious health hazard which they posed to other land users? Could anything be done to put a stop to those excesses of man or man’s callousness to fellow man? This paper is set to investigate these and other similar questions, and as well, interrogate the socio-cultural dynamics that affect and prevent the enjoyment of land to the fullest in the country.

Summary
Various activities which man carries out on land from day to day have rendered him helpless in surviving without having recourse to this natural gift to humanity for his existence. The continuous enjoyment of this vital asset by man is being threatened, disturbed or invaded by the many uses to which he puts it from time to time. This deprivation of his right is being unleashed on him given the freedom he enjoys in making use of his property. Such landed property, when acquired, must be adequately compensated for and the owner must be given access to the property for the determination of his interest and the amount of compensation payable to him. The right of the citizen to own property is being curtailed, albeit illegally, by fellow citizens who, in the process of making use of their own property have inflicted series of inconveniences, discomforts and even injuries to the owner and his property
