PIC. 11. FULANI'S HERDSMAN CARRYING A CALF DURING THEIR MIGRATION ALONG WUNDI/RISHI TORO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF BAUCHI STATE ON THURSDAY (29/12/11).
Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has said his government, in consultation with local communities will arrange grazing routes and make same known to herdsmen to help reduce incidents of destruction of farmlands.
According to him, the routes will be in such a way that the herdsmen will feed their cattle in areas where there are no farmlands.
Mr. Umahi backed calls for the disarming of Fulani herdsmen by the police and other security agencies.
He stated this at the end of an enlarged State Security Council meeting in Abakaliki on Tuesday.
The governor, who reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to ensure harmonious relationship between Fulani herdsmen and host communities, charged the police to periodically search the herdsmen and recover illegal arms in their possession.
He charged traditional rulers to hold extensive meetings with their communities and warn them against taking laws into their hands as the state government would not hesitate to bring the full weight of the law to bear on anybody who attacks herdsmen in the state.
The governor also condemned the attacks on Uzo Uwani community in Enugu state by suspected Fulani herdsmen, but debunked rumours of impending attacks in the state.
He said a special security committee would be set up at the state, local government and community level to help mediate in security issues in the state.

You have said your own.

Nice development, though some will still find sth 2 whine abt. Its in their DNA

While the court of public opinion across the land is increasingly in favor of jettisoning grazing reserves, an Igbo governor is now the first to dole out land. What an irony!

Tomorrow we'll find a way to blame other tribes for this political suicide. Just look at the timing. A handsome reward for the massacre in Enugu. Who says violence dont pay in the zoo?
Just hope its a false report.

Modified: I have reason to believe the story as i can confirm the source[url]http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/202840-ebonyi-governor-offers-cattle-grazing-routes-wants-herdsmen-disarmed.html/url]

Right from Azikiwe, those who followed this road in Igboland failed. And for this one, Dave Umahi, who knows, he might even consider gazzetting the grazing routes to finish it off. Making it unnecessary for grazing bill in respect of Ebonyi state.

Score card: Dullarddinho wins. One down, 16 states to go in the south. Pity.

Joker! I expect this is one of those fanciful imaginations of some hapless writer. I am very sure that Umahi knows that giving a monkey water in a cup is no big deal but taking it back is where the problem lies.

Disarmed nd stop frm entering peoples farm but his dis govern ok.

Cowardly governor. Hausa-Fulani toy. And this shiii_t is coming from a man who declared a state-wide one-week public holiday just for his mother's burial.

Umahi Umahi Umahi how many times did i call you?
To God if you try that one we Ndi igbo will give you the shock of your life!!! Ka anyi ku na aka ma oga emekwa!!!

Gov Dave Umahi should thread carefully with this delicate issue of fulanis grazing in any part of the state.

Take am easy !!! We are all Nigerian

Another useless governor.

Come and give grazing route let us see if your village won't be the first to be destroyed in Ebonyi state by Fulani herdsmen terrorism.

wotever is his reason 4 doing dat, all I can say is dat am ashamed of my Governor's act if it is really true. My dear Umahi, go to Plateau state and ask them how their journey with the fulanis have fared. What u r trying 2 do, others have done in the past, today, kedu ka onu di ha?

Imagine the kind of fools we elect as Governors in igboland!! Ebonyians must ensure this efulefu is thrown out unfailing in 2019!! Gosh!! I wish he was round me right now so that I can slap his ugly face!!

Not at the expense of our lives, lands and properties please! We will gladly draw the distinction and let it be manifestly clear that we are first Igbos before being Nigerians. We don’t suffer fools gladly. Anyone in Igboland must live and conduct themselves on our terms.

When we go to other places, we abide by the laws, touch base by our associations and never kill or dispossess others of their property by force! Since the herdsmen have refused to be civil then we draw the line and pull any turncoat into formation immediately!

So in this regard, our Igbo heritage comes first since we haven't quite managed nationhood yet!

Waiting for the IPOB,IPAD,IPOO,to come and beat their hollow chest,sebi una don dey brag since.look at how their governor is disgrasing southern nigeria.Nonsense

Nice developmen, though some will still find sth 2 whine abt. Its in their DNA

whats nice about this news.

If this news is true then i am already feeling sorry for the people of Ebonyi state.

when ranches are being built in Anambra Ebonyi is encouraging Fulani men to rape and kill their women.

Well i am not disapointed because Ebonyi‘s backwardness knows no bound.

I wonder what profit Ebonyi will make by enriching already rich hausa/fulani business men & politicians that owns these cows.

So this Governor have evil plan against his state? Surely he will regret it sooner, i pity Ebonyi people.
