Putting a fence around property protects it from thieves. In traditional Yoruba practice, “aale pipa” (boundary marking) warns people not to steal from that land or crop.

The fence or boundary marks ownership clearly. It tells everyone that this property belongs to someone. Taking from it would be stealing.

Traditional methods of protecting property are still respected. Boundaries and markers help prevent theft in farms and compounds.
