Most times we need to secure the land we are farming so that we'll have food to eat tomorrow. We have a natural resources from our farmland. Our elders were after the pay they received from the foreigners who are to extract the resources without considering if there'll be any consequences that will affect our farmland. I'm not against our natural resources been extracted for usage but my concern is after the natural resources extraction will our farmland still be fertile and secure for farming.
Before the foreigners were allowed to go into our farmland to extract our natural resources there was an agreement between them and our elders. One of the agreement was for the foreigners to help create accessible road to our farm land. The aim of our elders was to use the foreigners to create roads to help farmers easily go to their farmland using cycling, motorcycle, motor car, and other roads means for transportation. I was very happy with this developmental request from our elders because it'll indeed help us to farm. A least if our farmland has a road network we can farm even in the evening without fear of how we can go back to your homes.
The road network to our farmland will even help our farm products to be easily transported from our farm to our homes. It'll make everything easier for us even if we're farming and forget anything from the house, we can easily request of it from anybody home and we'll have it within some minutes.
The foreigners by agreement signed accordingly to dance to our elders request. The foreigners were said to have created the road to our farmland before they were granted access to extract the natural resources they demanded. The time which the foreigners created the road to our farmland was in the dry season and during this season the road they created was very fine to the extent that we were already transporting ourselves with the help of motorcycles and other means.
Everyone including the elders both men and women were praising the foreigners for creating road network to our farmland. Surprisingly rain started. Only two days rain blocked out whole farmland including the the washing away of the things we planted. All the things we planted were washed away by flooding. The cause of the whole flooding blocking our farmland was said to be a result of poor road bridge. The bridge which the foreigners constructed on the road was very small and couldn't contain the amount of flowing water.
The problem we're facing now is that our farmland has been covered with flood. The flood is not flowing away but every where in our farmland. I have suggested to our elders to communicate to the foreigners on how to provide solutions for such issues before we'll lose our farmland. It's better we have where to farm and have food than collect money from the foreigners which we'll eat in a few days.
