Have you seen Canada on a map? Land size wise we are about 10x larger than Nigeria (I think that's where I saw you were from). We only have 30 Million population so about 1/7th the population. That means that there are very large areas that have no people, no electricity, no phone service, no running water. Most of it belongs to the government but I have a 60ac piece.
Having said that I also have 4ac in the Philippines. It doesn't have water or electricity there either. At least it has cellular phone service though :)
