Gov. Fayose just signed the Ekiti State Open Grazing Prohibition Bill into law in the presence of over 3,000 Traditional Chiefs in Ekiti.

Under the law, herdsmen are forbidden from carrying arms and movement of cows and other animals from one location to another is prohibited.

The law prescribes six months imprisonment without option of fine for any herdsman who violates the grazing prohibition while any herdsman found with arms will be charged with terrorism.

Infact jst kill them all

the only brave man in the history of of the Yoruba race after fani kayode


awolowo can't and is not fit to untie fayose's number

Good one fayose!
Shame on ugwuanyi

Good one, quotasystem and other abokirudeens should go there and test the law with their cattles. Flenty Flenty Iron beans awaits them.

Bubu won't be happy to hear this... Fayose,another probe await u ooo

fayose u just fall my hand, six months is too small na. They deserve life sentence. People that don't have value for human life should not be allowed to roam around.

Fayose has been giving Quality Leadership to the Ekiti people since 985BC

Jst passing shaa

I am sure the Mitteh of the herdsmen would have warned all his people not to venture towards Ekiti and SW, rather they should head towards SE.

Itori were ti'ta, ni a fi n ma ni were ti'le.

Nice move . He is in position to protect his citizens.But only few governor can do this. #Irumole

State Laws versus federal laws, this bill ain't going nowhere. A Nigerian has a constitutional right to move around in to any part of the country lawfully.
*modified
All those people quoting me and saying;
1. Fulani are roaming with guns. I believe not just Fulani but anybody in possession of AK47 if not a security agent is a terrorist and should be arrested. I have personally never seen a Fulani wielding one.
2. Fulani are destroying people's farmlands, I don't know which state in Nigeria is that legal? Anybody found vandalizing people's farmlands should arrested.
BUT you can't deny people their means of legitimate livelihood for political reasons.

What is wrong with you people? Where is it
ever legal to roam into people's farmland ? It
has always been illegal to do that in whatever
part of the country and the perps have always
been arrested and tried, so no need for this bill
in the first place if truly that is what it aims to
achieve. But the bill just aims at stopping
grazing completely both law abiding and
otherwise, which is unacceptable.
Just few weeks ago a Bororo Fulani camel gave
birth in a cassava farm in my community and
the police arrested them and an out of court
settlement of N50,000 was paid by the
herdsmen. We didn't need that bill to
administer justice, if that's what Ekiti is after
and not victimization simply because all
herdsmen have been demonized.

beeni o....tori were ti'ta ni a fI n ma Ni were ti'le

lol... it will hit front page before u know it.

Any family of buhari wey do rough play go ekiti; na jail e dey use play

..Those herdsmen are stepping on toes. I love the law its gonna restrict their illegal activities. Other States especially those in the South East should follow suit....

It's a Federal system. State has autonomy.

I won't be surprise if some court or human right activist start a fight.

If there is one thing you can't take away from this man, it's his gut

ok

Your useless governors are busy fasting, you're here praising fayose a yoloba. The same people you hate. You're not even ashamed there isn't a
single Igbo leader bold enough to do what fayose is doing

Let them gaze well

The only sensible thing this ojuyobo has done since he assumed office

The first useful thing Fayose has done as Governor of Ekiti State.

Finally, the movement has commenced. Other governors should follow Fayose's footsteps biko

Nice. 6 months is too small though. I'd prefer 6 years

Kudos. Weldone for the first time from me. Critical times require critical decisions.

Nice one, Do go further by empowering your people on how to raise cows for meat and milk as it is not an exclusive of a particular tribe.

this is very commendable, no cow is worth more than the life of a human being, I hope other states will follow suit
