They can go ahead to create grazing reserves in sokoto but not one inch of omambala would be ceded to these animals in the name of grazing reserves. Anyone who wants land should be prepared to buy.No one would also be allowed to use our common patrimony to purchase grazing reserves for these animals

obailala:
High nutrient hybrid grass seedlings are to be imported and planted in the reserves; the grasses are not being imported for the cows to eat. Similar example is Malaysia importing palm seeds from Nigeria many years ago for 'planting.' Today they are one of the largest producers (and largest exporter) of palm oil, producing a thousand times more than Nigeria and raking in almost $20billions annually.

Obiagelli:
I like this approach to solving this problem, though i prefer ranching.
We also need big players to displace a share herdsmen's market, that should prompt them to realize the need to abandon the nomardic method of cattle farming.

The President said that the Federal Government had mapped out grazing areas where herdsmen would be restricted to, adding that grass seeds would be imported and planted in the grazing reserves.

planetx:
Even though I critique this president, how come GEJ never thought of this idea in his 6 years in power.

Better keep your grazing reserves in the north!!! Not one inch of our lands would be ceded to these animals in the name of grazing reserves!!!Last time I checked no one is talking about trading reserves for the igbos who are predominantly traders.If any aboki wants land for grazing reserves in anambra state,let him use his money to buy the land the same way an Igbo man in sokoto would purchase a land for his business or residence.No one would use our scarce resources to support the already lucrative business of the Fulani herdsmen all in the name of grazing reserves

plaetton:


So the government is going to seize land all over the country in order to subsidize Fulani cow herders ?

Here we go again.

Is cattle herding not a For-Profit business enterprise ?
Can't they use their profits to buy grazing fields ?

Why should the Nigerian people subsidize a For-Profit business where the owners are mostly non- Nigerians ?

BuddhaPalm:


Bros, that Malaysia gist is a myth.

FOLYKAZE:
I hate the importation of grass part. For f.uck sake we have large reserved land which can be use for planting of grasses for the cows. Those selling goat, sheep and horses in the south western state buy dry hay from the market and it is enough for all the animals kept in store for sales.

The period of 18 months is long enough for us to have a field where grass would be planted to feed cows. Those ranches in Ogun and Ondo state do not import grasses but source them from surroundings, buying at cheap cost and improving the income of some local grass sources. Importation will only take our money to foreign countries. Job opportunities will be thrown to foreign nations. And our farmers will be left to increases the riches of other countries.

Government should separate some pieces of land in every state where people who have interest in planting grass can use at a token price. This will in another round provide opportunity for wealth creation.

Do we not have Agricultural RESEARCH institutes in our country that can grow GRASSES, ordinary grasses oh?
Yet this man RESTRICTS forex to our citizens?

Does anyone else agree that the zombies who packaged and sold this non-entity to us need to be FLOGGED 12 lashes only

Thanks.

Ohammadike:
I still demand justice for those murdered by the blood thirsty herdsmen

Obiagelli:

Transporters make profit off roads, should they also buy lands to build their own roads?
Government build dams out of peoples lands to aid irrigation.

Will this move solve the issue of communal attacks by the blood thirsty Fulani marauders? Only time will tell.

Tell that to Omo Onile in Lagos state.
BTW, how many plots of land have you bought from the federal government?
How many people do you know who regularly buy land from the federal government?

plaetton:


Pathetic logic.

Transporters don't depend on the government to fuel their vehicles.

Should the government also provide livestock feeds to all the livestock farmers all over the nation ?

A SUBSIDY is a SUBSIDY, no matter how you want to twist it.

anonimi:

YES!!!

Obiagelli:

The government is importing grasses to be planted here not grass to be fed directly to the cows
