cktheluckyman:

grazing routes were carved out in which states? So you think in this modern era,nomadic cattle rearing should still have a place? what the hell do you mean bygrazing routes? did they even pay for the land?

its up to the governors if they want to carve out grazing routes, nobody can force it on them, there were grazing routes in the northern states way back but has been taken over by the rich and politicians which is what PMB was referring to, this is the reason the herdsmen started moving down south in search of water and pasture, the desertification in the sahel region up north as a result of climate change has not helped matters, this is why audu ogbeh is talking about importing grass with enough amino acid content to address the problem.

Instead of all the hate and abuse, our governors need to start thinking proactively to solve the problem, if it is by gamalin 20 according to fayose that will sove the problem, all well and good but its high time we get serious and sincerely tackle the problem. The states in the Savannah region around the Niger-benue river basin need to look at that ptf report PMB is talking about and see how they can adapt to their peculiar situation to solve this problem which has some scientific and technical aspects.

lezz:
The President's call is just an inadvertent admission of cluelessness.

Land statutes gives ownership to the federal government.

In the event of conflict or clash, police commissioners do not ready take orders from governors without getting clearance from the centre.

And Buhari says governors should offer solution to the crisis with hersldmen who carry sophisticated weapons around.

Sickening in its dumbness!!!

Dnt Guvnors & their thugs carry sophisticated weapons also?

Which people came up with that report and under whose watch?That was his recommendation then.Can't people disagree and also recommend theirs?So many things have been phased out already,this one too is obviously a no-brainer.
Secondly,pushing it to state governors is to engender enmity btw those who will object to it and the fulanis. He ,through his statement,has shown he supports the grazing reserve bill.
Again,why doesnt he let governors decide on other security issues like state police?This stance further divide us as a people.

Goke7:


you lacking understanding and you never read the article, the man said that when he was PTF chairman, grazing routes were carved out, veterinary clinics were also done while penalties for herdsmen who intruded into farms were spelt out, now he is challenging the governors to look into that report and find solutions for their respective states.

Your problem is that you are born to abuse and throw insults on PMB all the days of your life even if he is saying anything useful. Nothing will ever make sense to you from PMB cos according to you the man is a dullard, even if PMB says he will construct a sky scrapper for you, you will still insult the old man. Continue your trade bruv

These has just proven that the major reason of all the recent killings is to establish fear in people so as to pave way for their grecing bill, and it has also cleared Buhari's long silence on the killings, it may also touch-light logically who their sponsors re and how they came about the sophisticated weapons they hang around with unchallenged.

FG lacks solution for Fulani herdsmen but have military attack solution for Niger Delta Avengers.
Baba call a spade a spade and declare both Fulani herdsmen and NDAs terrorists and let both sides face the same judgement.

My 2Kobo

“Grazing reserves were carved out; cattle routes were marked out, dams, water and veterinary clinics were also established with the help of our leaders, traditional and district heads at that time". In which persons lands. He already knows that it will never happen here in the south and that is why he is handing the matter over to the state Government. Mr. president If you want to train ur cows buy lands from the locals and reach agreement with farmers for the supply of feeds. We do that in North by hiring shops, buying lands and building houses and we even pay taxes. If you think it is a lie ask Kaduna state Government.

Go back to school as you obviously don't know what you are talking about!

I get your point on land statutes, bro. An oversight. And you're still very wrong because you speak in absolutism in that statute which is so wrong.

On the other part of the bolded, you're emboldened by ignorance!!!

But I stand on fact that the Nigeria police is a central command system and DO NOT NECESSARY TAKE ORDERS from the state governor!

So you'll unlearn your false education there!

This might sound weird but Buhari has a point here, let me explain before you throw stones at me
We often times blame the president, OBJ, GEJ, PMB but forget about other elected officials that are closer to us than the president...

I will say Shame Shame on Ike Ekweremadu, he has a lot of power in the country and he is from, wait for it..."ENUGU STATE" what prevents him from coming up with a bill to address this current situation Then pass the bill and let PMB refuse to sign it...

I keep reiterating the issues the igbos have is their leaders not the FG... How times have someone from SE elected SENATE PRESIDENT Recall Ken Nnamani, Chuba Okadigbo, Adolphus Wabara e.t c, last administration the speaker was from IMO STATE... SSG LAST TIME FROM EBONYI STATE....

Again, recall the president cannot unilaterally pass a law, that amounts to dictatorship, I know if PMB gives an order like that, same people complaining now will call him a dictator...
Finally, shame on Ike Ekweremadu he is placed in a decent position in the country to come up with a solution to this. ..... Draft a bill, put your position to work and get the votes to pass it... Drop it off for PMB and let him refuse to sign it then

Thank you for this piece, bro!
If it were not out of pure frustration, the SE really shouldn't be clamoring for Biafra, because the political leaders in that region are a bunch of pussies. They consistently get to be in the number 3 position in the country's hierarchy with no revolutionary contributions. Collectively, we are cursed with the lack of men with vision and leadership qualities.

This man is backing fulani herdsmen.Is it not the security agency that should deal with arms bearing group?Meanwhile,he told the security to crush Niger delta militants.Between the two,who is more deadly?

prinsam30:
I wondered why buhari is been called upon to this issue, if I may ask what are the affected Governors doing to salvage this menace.



make dem allow this man drink water keep cup na

My dear, is Nigeria's security in the concurrent list or exclusive list?
Thanks as I await for your answer.

Curvinus:
The bulk passing continues. As Commander in Chief, Buhari controls the entire gamut of the Nigerian security aparatus...But guess what...he wants governors to stop rampaging Foolaniii herdsmen who are armed to the teeth with sophisticated weapons....Buhari please give your head a nice wobble and wake up from this slumber...


You either decentralise the police and let the Governors be in charge or you do the damn thing yourself as the C-in-C.


"If you want to go fast, you go alone; If you want to go slow we go together" Muhammadu Buhari, 10th May, 2016.

This is what he said 'if you want to go fast, you go alone. If you want to go far, we go together'.

zik4ever:
President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged state governors to find lasting solutions to the persistent cases of farmers/herdsmen crisis in the country.

The president gave the challenge at an interactive session with members of Katsina Elders’ Forum organised by the Katsina State Government in Katsina.

He tasked the governors to go back to a comprehensive study and report carried out by the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) on how best to address farmers/herdsmen conflicts.

“When I was in PTF we did a comprehensive report on grazing reserves and cattle routes across the country.

“Grazing reserves were carved out; cattle routes were marked out, dams, water and veterinary clinics were also established with the help of our leaders, traditional and district heads at that time.

“Any herdsman, who allowed his cattle to destroy farm land then, was fined and when he fails to pay, his cattle would be sold to pay the fine, and if there are monies remaining from the sale it would be handed over to him.

“But, now what do we see. The grazing reserves and the routes had been taken over by the rich and politicians,” he said.

According to the president, the disappearance of the grazing reserves and the cattle routes has been causal factor for the persistent conflicts between farmers and herdsmen across the country.

He said he had already directed the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the Governors’ Forum to study the PTF Report with a view to addressing the menace.

In his contribution at the parley, Alhaji Isa Funtua, a member of the Katsina Elders’ Forum, called for the establishment of vocational training centres in the three senatorial districts of the state.

He said the centres, when operational, would address the problem of delinquencies and unemployment among the young population in the state.

Funtua expressed his readiness to partner with the state government in establishing such training centres.

Other speakers at the event commended the foresight and vision of Gov. Aminu Masari for organising the Katsina Business and Investment Summit aimed at attracting investors into the state.

NAN reports that a Presidential Dinner in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari was also hosted by the Katsina state government.

Your people won't get one land from the south even if he signs the God-forsaken bill
Maybe that will be the last straw that finally breaks the country

Rubbish

SMH @ this.
What PTF report is the President talking about? In what dispensation was it made? Military or Civilian? Even if it was during the military regime, was there ever a military decree effecting the report into law?
Since when did it become the Federal Government's prerogative to acquire land on behalf of private businesses? Lot's of questions begging for answers here. I've got to say this:

Buhari= Error!!!

I will advise states like Abia, Ebonyi and Anambra to contact China's Dakang. They are into ranching and looking for where to invest. Ponponkon please take note.

Another misstatement!

In Lagos alone there are security forces outside of the police that are directed by the Governor, this is why I said your initial statement showed ignorance. You don't have to believe me, do your research!

My dear, why?
Are we not here to learn from each other?

Several times on this forum, i have said it that the governors are too docile and feigning helpless.
The solution to these herdsmen lie within their jurisdiction.
The attacks occur within their corridor.
Why drag the FG into an issue that doesnt have an executive root.
The governors should stop being docile.
Like the president said, any herdsmen found wanting should have his cows confiscated.
If state agencies can confiscate motorists that violate traffic laws what stops them from arresting lawless herdsmen?
Are they going to mobilize themselves and attack the government?
They should just get off their a$$ and get to work.

Here we go again, the present stated his position on Cattle herding and all
you can come up with is blame some people.
Is herdsmen problem peculiar to a particular region ?

Mister, SHUT UP!!!! What's the correlation between other security outfit and the police here?

I'm talking about the structural composition of the Nigeria police system.

A state commissioner of police will take orders from the IG before the governor of his state.

Matter of fucking fact, commissioners of police aren't directly under their governors. Fact!!!

The idea of weak governor and strong governor is unknown to bureaucracy and law.

Blame it on the weak structure of the federalism we practice. But the truth is the NIGERIA police is a single unit of command and it doesn't branch off to the governor's prerogative.

kodded:












hahaha so now it is the responsibility of the governor's to find a lasting solution to his brothers killing innocent farmers







but it is his responsibility to crush any one that want to tamper with niger delta oil












what a dulllard

U did not even talk of the boko haram issue that they hipped on Jonathan

cktheluckyman:


This bigot must know we don't have grazing reserves in the SS/SE!!! he can direct his cows to the north for all I care

Shataap there u dis old man. Between him and u,who is a bigot Ur hating on him is as useless as p in psychology. FYI,he will rule over u and other ipod zombies for a good 8years. Now u can jump in to lagoon. Mtcheww.

I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE AR DAMMED TO DAFT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NIGERIA.
WHY AREE U WAITING FOR BUHARI TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
ANYONE EXPECETING BUHARI TO SOLVE THE FULANI CRISIS IS WAISTINIG HIS/HER TIME. YOU AR DREAMING IN FACT
YOUR NAME IS OYO, ON YOUR OWN.

I HAVE CALLED FOR A BOYCOTT OF THEIR PRODUCT

VOTE WITH UR BUYING POWER. STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS.

IF ALL NIGERIANS IN THE SOUTHSOUTH, SOUTHEAST, SOUTHWEST, AND NORTH CENTRAL INSIST THEY WILL NEVER EAT BEEF, FULANIS WILL CEASE TO REAR CATTLE

THEY ARE REARING IT BECAUSE WE BUY IT FROM THEM
IF WE STOP, ,WILL THE EAT IT THEMSELVES. NO. AND THEY DONT HAVE THE APPARATUS TO EXPORT IT
WE AR THE ONES GIVING THEM TO MONEY TO KILL US WITH.

STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS IF YOU WANT THEM TO LEAVE YOUR LOCALITY

SIMPLE.

MasterofNL:
Even Buhari technically agrees here that the fulani herdsmen are responsible for all the atrocities going on yet people like Omenka think otherwise.

Everytime you people mention me to comment on this issue, you end up proving what my suspicion and that of most other folks with an ability to look beyond the surface dressings of the issue is- that something has gone dangerously wrong with your minds and it appears it would bee impossible to fix it.

Can you show me one place Fulani was mentioned?? You see where you people's sickness lies??

You see, that is what unmitigated hatred does, it screws up your mind so badly you start hallucinating even without knowing it.

Stop obsessing over me kid. You are too damn unintelligent for my liking.

And tell your friends to stop sending me idiotic PMs. It is irritating.

Thanks.

But, from one of your statements which I firstly quoted, it shows that you need to/have an idea of the question that I asked you.
However, Nigeria's security is constitutionally enshrined to be in the exclusive list.

He keeps dwelling in past and spent solutions...rather than move with the times in keeping with what is obtainable in the modernised countries he loves to visit, he remains stuck on dead results...

Na d people wey say na him go be President wey I blame.

So Buhari just admitted that during his days in PTF he planned to use taxpayers to secure and develope grazing route for his murderous band of herdsmen ..I don't think any Fulani man since USman Dan Fodio has tried this much to make Fulanis dominant by hook or by crook..no wonder they made him thier grand patron..Nigerians and that includes me just voted in Sectarianist and lifelong bigot into the state house because of our collective hatred for corruption
