Tax Payers' Money Should Not Be Used To Establish Colonies For Private Businesse by Nobody: 10:03am On Jan 23, 2018 |
If you don't speak out in person now, my dear, posterity will not forgive you. Good to the sixteen northern governors who are too shortsighted to think about the future consequences of their collective actions. They went ahead and gave 5000 Hecters of land each for the establishment of cattle colonies in their respective states. Who will not know that they did this only to gain political scores. They did not consult their state Assemblies, not kings, not chiefs or community leaders before donating their lands. Questions we should all ask and find answers to are: 1. What are the contributions of herdsmen to the revenue generation in the country? Do they pay tax? Don't they sell their cattles and keep the profit to themselves? 2. Are herdsmen known for peace in their relationships with all their accommodators in every part of the country? 3. Don't they openly threaten, boast and take resposibility for killings like many of the known terrorist organizations do? 4. Don't they said it that Nigeria is their God given land, to conquer and dominate? 4. Was anything done in compensation to farmers whose people are killed and displaced for defending their rights to farmland ownership? 5. With the choice of colonies over ranches, are we moving forward or backward as a nation? Well, we all know that President Buhari is just acting Nepotic here as he ussually does. He is protecting his personal cattle business and that of his kin men but, He should use his private money and not of tax payers' and money from petroleum to build those colonies. We beg the National Assembly to rise up and fight for Nigerians and not keep quiet untill a War began. Indigenes of the northern states are not in support of these colonies establishments and this may lead to another civil war if care is not taken. |

Every aspect of this cattle colony is wrong and UnDemocratic. Yet they’re shoving it down our throats. High service governors are donating land that doesn’t belong to them without consultation and dialogue. |
