Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has blamed the incessant herdsmen/farmers conflict on the scarcity of resources for grazing.

He stated this during the 2018 World Congress of the International Press Institute (IPI) in Abuja, the nation’s capital on Thursday.

He said, “The herdsmen clash with farmers is an issue of resources getting more and more scarce. There is less water, there is less grass. The farmers would not have the kind of land they used to have before so they have to adopt the best practices in Agriculture and modern technology.

“On the part of the herders, they must also adopt modern technology such as ranching. These issues are also cultural, as the economic and cultural. You need to persuade the average herdsmen to go to a ranch.

“For a simple reason, in his (a herdsman) own words, ‘it is not so much about how fat your cow is but how many they are’. A man with 100 herds of cattle is superior in his own mind with a person with 50.

“But it has been proven that a cow on a ranch produces about 10 litres of milk a day while migrating cattle produces about a litre a day.”

Anyday you see me listening to this liar, know that i am mad.

liar

Anigreat:





Anyday you see me listening to this liar, know that i am mad.

You just did...and I know you are not mad or are you ??

Today it's grazing laws , tomorrow it's people from Libya, another day it's people from Benue militia , another day it's Suswam and now it's this one ...what a confused govt

No longer Gaddafi's trained fighters?

Anything from this man is already perceived a lie.......FG be wise and do the needful

It is no longer opposition sponsoring them
When will these people stop lying and accept that they have failed.

Should every business man now go about killing in a brutal manner just because they have scarce resources.

From Libya to opposition and now this one. Someday, Nairaland will be blamed for one thing or the other by this government.

Lie Mohammed is an illiterate simple! He doesn't what it means to be authentic as an information minister he variate's a
lot

-"Gaddafi-trained Mailians, Guineans, Lybians are cause of farmers/herdsmen clashes.-Buhari
-"Antigrazing laws responsible for farmers/herdsmen rift."-IGP.
-"Suspend antigrazing laws"-Defence minister.
-"presidency Wednesday attributed the widespread killings in the country to the political enemies of President Muhammadu Buhari....."
-And now "Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has blamed the incessant herdsmen/farmers conflict on the scarcity of resources for grazing."

So much confused & contradicting statements by officials of the same APC government.That is to tell you that they have lied so much they're now confuse on the next lie to tell.

There's actually no herders-farmers 'conflict'.

It's the fulani herdsmen that invade communities, destroying farms and killing people in large numbers. Once in a rather long while, the people being massacred (and it is not limited to farmers) retaliate.

Besides that, its a fulani herdsmen show.
