Great One & I Hope My State Will Join The League...

"Fayose only impresses illiterates. He's never in the news for laudable projects, he's is either riding bike, cutting ponmo or insulting the Federal Government.

Fayose is the tragedy that happens when Ekiti people chose 'rice' and a 'bastard' over an educational colossus like Fayemi. What a disaster!"
- Olusegun Obasanjo.

If OBJ said this, he's right. But a guy like Fayose has his use.

I AM IN TOTAL SUPPORT OF THIS...BUT MIND YOU...HIS BROTHERS MIGHT TALK HIM DOWN

I'm in support of this ban. This issue should've never been left to the FG to handle. The State Governors should individually take effective measures to resolve this issue. The ripple effect will be felt by other herdsmen in other states. It may take a while but they will all gradually learn to adapt to ranching as a new way of life. It's time to go beyond indiscriminate grazing of livestock on the roads without control.

Now those silly Yorubas who dont like Fayose can go ahead and harbor the Fulani herders

am loving fayose on this,though i supported buhari,he seems not to be concern on this issues of fulani killers,all state should follow[img][/img] this step,shoot any fulani at close range and claim ownership of those cows,in a civilized country no cattle owner will wander from the east to the west all in the name of ranching

For once in his life Fayose has said something laudable

Great. I respect this man more than Tinubu. At least he protect the interest of us Yorubas

cktheluckyman:

yesoo ranching will make it easier to enforce taxing of the herdsmen thus boosting the state revenues

Fact, most Fulani people don't pay Tax, especially in the North. If you ask them for tax, they draw their dagger.

So our toutish Governor can be this sensible...since PMB has decide to look theother side because they are his brothers, I think this is the. Way to go...other Governors should emulate him

Fantastically on course.

Just making blanket, immediate bans without thinking out the process is utter rubbish. Our leaders never seem to take time to think of how to properly resolve an issue over the long term.


What the governor needs to do is:

- establish ranches, or give incentives for private sector to establish ranches over a two-year period

- hire a few Fulani men on your team

- visit north, dialog with herdsman and encourage them to graze on the ranches you've established

- ensure the ranches are maintained, listen often to the needs to the herdsmen

This will insure a longer lasting peace.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has banned grazing and rearing of cattle in the State, saying those interested in cattle farming should get their own private cattle ranch and that a bill to make movement of cattle from one location to another criminal in the State will soon be sent to the State House of Assembly.


Governor Fayose, who made this known when he visited Oke-Ako in Ikole local government area of the State that was invaded last Friday by Fulani herdsmen that killed two residents of the town and injured others, warned that government will henceforth confiscate any cattle seen anywhere in the State apart from ranch created for them by their owners.

He described the Fulani herdsmen that attacked Oke-Ako and other communities in the country as “agents of the devil that must be fished out and punished accordingly.”

The governor said;
“We will not leave our lands for Fulani herdsmen and in a system where the leadership of the country looks the other way while our people are being killed, we will have no option than to defend ourselves by whatever means.”
He said; “I have come here to commiserate with the people of Oke-Ako over the murder of two of our people by these evil Fulani herdsmen. “I am also here to assure that this will be the last time your community will be invaded by Fulani herdsmen under whatever guise.
“I have directed that cattle rearing and grazing should stop in Ekiti State and those interested in cattle farming should henceforth do so in their own cattle ranch.

“No more movement of cattle from one location to another in the State and any cattle seen anywhere in Ekiti State apart from the ranch created for them by their owners will be confiscated by the government and their owners will be prosecuted.
“A bill to this effect will be sent to House of Assembly for passage into law to criminalise cattle owners whose cattle are found moving from one location the other in the State. “If President Mohammadu Buhari, who is the patron of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has refused to call the herdsmen to order, we in Ekiti will no longer harbour herdsmen who go about killing our people, destroying our farmlands and raping our women.


“If the same President Buhari that was so concerned about the killing of Fulani herdsmen in in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of Oyo State such that he, as a private citizen led Arewa to Ibadan on October 13, 2000, to confront the then Governor of Oyo State, late Alhaji Lam Adesina is now keeping silent when the same herdsmen are killing our people, we must rise and defend ourselves.”
“It is our duty to protect our people and we are going to do that without fear or favour. The governor reiterated that activities of the Fulani Herdsmen was inimical to the revival of agriculture in the country saying;


“one wonders how Nigerians can go back to farming when those already in the farms are losing billions of naira worth of crops to destruction of their farmlands by the Fulani Herdsmen and the Federal Government is not doing anything about it.”

Thurbs up Mr governor this was what i have been saying, my governors in the south east please learn from Mr Fayose, that is how a governor should respond not to call for a prayer. .

Although ever his garrulous self, he is making sense for the first time by talking of a policy statement and a bill to the effect to be sent to the state assembly.

I still blame the non-cattle rearing states for complacency on the issue of control of herdsmen. Movement of cattle, chicken, goats can never be on the exclusive legislative list of the constitution, so what are the lazy state governments waiting for before they start regulating cattle movement and meat handling?
They had to endure needless deaths and destruction before waking up from lazy butts.

When Lagos state decided for public safety to regulate abattoirs and meat transportation, did they need to shout to Abuja and accuse any ethnic group of any thing? they just passed the laws and ensured it was enforced.

Truly fayose is great administrator, policy maker and a brave leader. Nice one.

This is the boldest comment so far on the issue of these terrorist herdsmen. Ohh how I love this Man Fayose when he speaks. Hope he backs it with words.

Good solution for once. Any cow seen will be used for stomach infrastructure.
state government can open ranches and collect taxes to boost their IGR. All states can actually don this.
Fayose remains an Ekiti mistake though.

Yea he remains ekiti mistake because he has refuse to be a coward like you

Samunique:
Thank u Gov Fayose, a true Son of Yoruba land for not going to the affected area and cowardly declare 3days of fasting and prayer, but come out with a true reality check for these criminals called Fulani herdsmen.

I hope other southern Governors will follow suit, not sycophants though!!!

I'm proud of Fayose. Courage has nothing to do with ethnicity. I waiting for the SW youth to abuse him.

This guy takes no prisoner..

Good one, Devil's Last born!

No sane Yoruba man will talk him down on this. Yoruba's might dislike Fayose's foolish utterances but on this, we're with him.

Buhari warn your fulani herdsgoat, ekiti is not benue ooo! Before u start the disintegration war from ekiti...


Ekiti kete don't take chill in attacking their people o. If u doubt me, go and read the history of ikere ekiti

True talk. Enough is enough.

Fayose gets this right. First time in geography.

knightsTempler:


Fayose's rating keep soaring high, this man should be the representative of the whole Yoruba people. Yoruba's need brave warriors like Fayose, not some cowardly àss licking slaves.

Fayose the generalissimo of the South West, long may your reign be.

Iseee!!!!!!

richidinho:
