The south-west chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) says it needs time to train its members on how to stop the practice of open grazing.

Maikudi Usman, zonal secretary of south-west MACBAN, made the plea on Wednesday at the public hearing of the Lagos state anti-open grazing bill.

He said the members of the association need time to be educated on “how they will be breeding cattle in one place and not transfer to anybody’s land”.

“Our breeders are not used to breeding cattle in one place. They move from here to another place. When we say we’ll keep cattle in one place, the owner of the cattle will not have funds to feed the animals in one place,” Usman said.

“They’ve already depended on going from one place to another. Because in the rainy season time, we have where we settle down, and we also have for the dry season.

“We are pleading with Lagos state government to give us time to go tell our people and train them how they will be breeding cattle in one place and not transfer to anybody’s land.

“But breeding in one place, right now, our people do not have the power to do so. What you’re not used to, you have to be taught. And gradually, everybody will understand.”

On Monday, the anti-open grazing bill passed the second reading at the Lagos state house of assembly.

If the bill is passed, Lagos will be joining some other states in the country’s southern region that have codified the prohibition of open grazing into law.

So they have been doing nothing to train and educate their members up till this time.

Ok,kwantinu

Good evening all. I'm at the verge of committing suicide. I'm a student of the University of Ilorin. I made excellent results but now I'm about to drop out as school fees payment portal closes about 5 hours from now and I don't have any hope. I'm soliciting for help from well meaning people. Please reach out to me on 07061742247 for my details so you can login to my portal to confirm. Please save a soul. This is all I have to live for

Today they behave like fools tomorrow they'll beg. Southern Governors should crush these barbarians.

I pray the Lagos state governor do not listen to his plea.

We shouldn't be discussing about cattle.

What is even wrong with Nigeria as a country?

Northerners just they collect am back to back.

Nice one from Southerners


But don't they (herdsman) have eyes to see that there is a farmland ahead or they're on someone's land

una never chee chomtin

OK
To train your members about?
How to handle a Kalashnikov?or
To kidnap,rape and destroy?

I was shocked when I watched the National Publicity Secretary of Miyetti Allah,openly threatening any Govt.that bans open grazing.

Miyetti Allah na dem be Gomment....

Brb...

Ok take time

Abegi

Lol.

Shey they were flexing muscle before?

Threatening thunder and brimstone.

Capital NO!

Please how much does it cost to laugh in peace

Very soon Southerners will wake up from their slumber and Chase these demons out of their region.

This I have seen.

A farmers union that is known for backwardness in all indicators of civilization, measuring height in authority with elected governors is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in our polity.

This new antic of more time is just another subtle way of saying they will never obey the proposed law

Ok

Why begging now?

Give us time so that we can devise another means to kill and rape people.
Stupid people

Modafoka, no time

Ur time's up long ago

You can move all you cows to the north and be roaming the entire north all you want like zombies

Buharis cows are inside ranch, but he want his kinsmen to be destroying crops and lives across the country all in the name of grazzing, thunder fire him dry bald blokos

K

First Ondo, mow Lagos? This group is crumbling right before our eyes

So the cattle should move around and feed on people’s farmland abi, these people that refused to ship foodstuff to the south when there’s small conflict wants to use their cows to destroy the farmlands again. This government no serious

Time kee u there...

The southern states are now dishing it out hard; let's see how "resourceful" the North is now.

From Anti open grazing to FIRS, this is looking good!

Ogun fire una there,Anuofia

After ranting?.

Just look at these blood thirsty foolanis. Law has been passed terrorists.
