Annotation

This paper argues that Lalupon community (Ibadan, Oyo State) social capital is not only sustained because of economic hardship, but also given the ethnogenesic notions of a distinct social identity. As this apparently alienates Lalupon community from state resources, the community employs its identity-based social capital/groups to offer human/community development.
