Umahi has said all cows should return to the north and cow owners can buy grass from SE and transport it with trucks to the north.

We the NEC committee on farmers/ herders crisis under the chairmanship of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo met today to deliberate on the approved programme of National Economic Council (NEC) and Federal Government, tagged, ‘The National Livestock Transformation Programme’,” Governor Umahi revealed.


Governor Umahi noted that the NLTP was a voluntary programme approved by the Federal Government and the National Economic Council NEC for any of the 36 states willing to dive into the programme.

So pls who proposed RUGA?

PrecisionFx:


What is RUGA?

Pavore9:


I gave you an example with Enugu State where they draw their beneficiaries from their local government areas and you are asking me which laws supports it?

Maybe you can sue the State for requesting the beneficiaries to fill the local government of the State they were from when filling the form to become beneficiaries.

Never use Lagos as a benchmark as it more multicultural than any state in Nigeria, where you can see people from different parts of Nigeria in its civil service but how many civil servants of Yoruba extraction is in Borno state civil service or how many Kanuris are in Akwa Ibom State civil service, I know you are very much aware of what is on ground!

TheRealestGuy:


I won't make it easy for you by giving you links.

Why do you think Ortom had to repeatedly insist by releasing press statements, that they don't have land for ruga?

Oh, I almost forgot, you're a buharideen who loves to play the ostrich.

It's obvious ur level of exposure is very low. Ready the history of the Fulanis and see how they multiple everywhere they go and how they form a colony and get themselves an Emir. U can give out the one ur father left for u if any at all

Mrpojj:


Where did fg get the allocation from?

Chommieblaq:


You keep making excuses for this silly ruga project, the north as it is have the highest land mass, it should be implemented there na.

How many land SE get sef, moreover SE have started implementing similar projects. I know of some private ranch in Anambra state, where cattle and the likes are been reared

delpee:


If it's not a Fulani program, why are they threatening everyone? Governor Ganduje invited those who are interested to come over to Kano where there's sufficient space. Niger State governor also said the forest reserve in his state can accommodate a very large numbers of cows. The combination of the two should be sufficient as a starting point. Cows due for sales can be transported to any part of the country.

We also have Sambisa and Falgore forests among others which can be well equipped for the same purpose. Why not maximise the use of those ones before encouraging other states to donate land for a project that they're not interested in?

Are we going to have Ruga for pigs too to suit the needs of some Southern states? Will the pig farmers be given space in the Northern reserves? Afterall it's also livestock.

States/citizens should be allowed to decide what they want. Private farmers already buy land to set up ranches in the South. I don't understand why there's so much noise on a matter that can be easily solved if there's no hidden agenda.

Ruga may be a good project but it's not been well presented nor properly linked to NLTP. That's probably why the VP knows nothing about it.

TheRealestGuy:


How come the fg started construction of ruga in benue state without state government approval?

All plans to establish fulani settlements in the south and many middle belt states will be stoutly resisted.

It is northerners that are mad and deranged blood thirsty animals who use religion as a cover for their atrocities.

smirn:

Last time i checked only Northern states showed interest in the scheme why are southerners so worried?

The letter also made reference to the directive to suspend RUGA because “it is not in accordance with the designs approved by NEC, NFSC and FEC,”

a development which has been described as temporary, with a foremost Northern leader, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, boasting in an interview that RUGA scheme “will be back.”.

The ruga plan was strictly for fulani.

Radio fulani was intended as part of the ruga settlement programe.

Surprisingly I have not heard anyone blame Audu Ogbeh, the Minister of Agriculture that drafted the plan.

The government’s new plan is tagged, ‘The National Livestock Transformation Plan.’ It is built on six key pillars: economic investment, conflict resolution, law and order, humanitarian relief, information education and strategic communication; and cross-cutting issues.


The presentation event was attended by several public officials including the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh and governor of Benue State, Samue Ortom. Kwasari’s presentation showed that the plan stemmed from meetings and recommendations by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, FMARD, and National Economic Council in 2017. The economic council is headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and includes all state governors as well as some ministers as members. The presentation event was attended by several public officials including the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh and governor of Benue State, Samue Ortom. Six key pillars The government’s new plan is tagged, ‘The National Livestock Transformation Plan.’

It is built on six key pillars: economic investment, conflict resolution, law and order, humanitarian relief, information education and strategic communication; and cross-cutting issues. According to the plan, the economic investment pillar would support and strengthen the development of market-driven ranches in seven pilot states for improved livestock productivity through breed (genetic) improvement and pasture production, in addition to efficient land and water productivity.

The government also said it would rebuild social capital at the community level to promote mutual trust, confidence building and consolidate the peace process, with regards to the conflict resolution pillar. The plan also showed that the law and order pillar would support the strengthening of legal frameworks for improving livestock production, peace and harmony. The fourth pillar, humanitarian relief will focus on rebuilding and reconstructing of common facilities, worship places, markets and individual homes that have been destroyed.

The fifth pillar will aid information, education and strategic communication on the development of grazing reserves in the frontline states, and mitigate the consequences of these conflicts such as wanton loss of lives, destruction of properties, including schools and facilities. The ‘cross-cutting’ issues pillar identifies various cross-cutting issues necessary to realise the objectives of the programme, which include monitoring and evaluation and research to contribute evidence base in programme implementation; as well as gender mainstreaming, the plan showed.

Frontline states Ten key states were identified as the frontline states to receive pilot interventions in line with the recommendations of the FMARD and NEC livestock conference. The states include: Adamawa, Benue, Ebonyi, Edo, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara. The plan include creation of large ranches in each of these states. “A Ranch Design Plan has also been proposed in models of various sizes clustered in 94 locations in the 10 pilot states. The government intends to transition pastoralism to ranching in order to reduce the struggle for common resources,” Mr Kwasari stated in his presentation of the plan. In terms of size, the proposed ranch size models are: “Cluster 30, 60, 150 and 300 cows ranch models in a location within the donated gazetted grazing reserves; and “a minimum 1000 cows breeder ranch in 7 of the 10 pilot states.”

Haven't you read or seen economic empowerment programs run by States where beneficiaries were drawn from their local governments?

OdumegwuOjukwu:


Twist and turn it anyway you like, but for all intent and purpose, the Federal Government wanted to use this Livestock Transformation program as Trojan horse to handover indigenous lands to feudalistic Fulani. Whether for religious or ethnic reason, the jury is still out.

But let's pretend you're right for a minute and agree with you that there is massive economic benefits for States that accepts Ruga or whatever name it's later Christianed. The questions remain, why grazing? Why cattle? Shouldn't every state be playing along their area of strength and specialization ? Is cattle rearing the most beneficial use of such massive expanse of land the government wishes to carve out for this purpose? Where has this been proven in practical term
s before inundating everyone with the
solution?

State government and her people will continue to resist the idea until is is shown to be a tested and trusted solution. Secondly, it is not necessary that every state in Nigeria keep cattle. There are other similarly beneficial venture,if not better that the Federal Government can assist the State Government to invest in if the FG is sincere.

If from Cross Rivers State and raised in Sokoto State, will Sokoto state grant me bursary like the indigenes? Why was there provision for issuance of local government of origin certificate?

Bla bla bla Id..oitic lunatic.

terrorism,ethnic superiority complex,cow colony or ruga and even president buhari and his army combined together won't get you a settlement in Nigeria.
The world has rejected you.

Pavore9:


Can you post a link to a video or a webpage where the FG clearly stated the indigenes of the participating states will be the primary focus.

kotv:


That was not the plan and you know it. The plan was to provide grazing lands for fulani in all state hence, since Ruga was cancelled, it is the North threatening the entire southern states. The Ruga settlement wouldn't have been severally opposed if it was meant for indigenous of the state. Stop trying to change the narrative of the original plan.

lastmessenger:
Thank God for this RUGA matter. If not I wouldn't know you are a Fulani man. A confirmed terrorist sympathizer.

yemaldo:

I don't think so , am just seeing this for the first time, fed government never said each state should provide grazing land for their indigenes

byrron:



After busting your lies with proofs which you so longed for and thought never existed yet you still went on to shamelessly spew those gibberish above?

I am now deeply convinced that you are irredeemable and I can't fix your comprehension deficiencies, its like that's your default makeup and not a temporal psychological malfunction.

Now, get lost.

yemaldo:
Every state should provide grazing land for thir own indigenes(herdsmen)
Herdsmen from kano should go to Kano State govt for grazing land, herdsmen from anambra should approach their govt for grazing land, same applies to Oyo herdsmen but they must all be indigene, I think this will solve the problem

[b]You want proofs right?
Start by reading the genesis of this RUGA bullshit on the link below.

Digest some of the extracts from the link, hopefully it will cure your gross foolishness and incredulity for a start.

Fool, Here is your first Proof that the policy wasn't a voluntary one when it was first conceived



Busted Lie:
You said that the man in charge of the program is the Eboyin state governor and Eboyin is part of the Eastern states in Nigeria then how come about this extract from the link about the position of all the eastern governors which includes the Governor of Eboyin State on RUGA settlements?



Now who is the bloody and pathological liar?

You are so pathetic, that's why they keep fooling you and your likes because of your high level of irredeemable gullibility as well as shamelessly flaunting such crass stupidity both online and offline without qualms.
