摘要:his paper underscores a looming population problem in Ekondo - Titi brought about by the establishment of Pamol Plantations – a legacy of the Germans colonial era. Using field studies and interviews, as well as literature on plantations and development, the paper attempts to exa mine the trend of population growth in Ekondo - Titi and the role of Pamol as a root cause to the population problem. The conclusion drawn is that Pamol has acted as a "population trap" – this questions the issue of sustainability in the provision of housing and toilet facilities. With imminent prospects of the extension of these plantations by about 3000ha in Ekondo Nene, it is obvious that the prob lem could worsen if possible escape routes are not sought. There is an urgent need for sustainable housing deve lopment schemes to be introduced to address the problem.
