The news that Governor Fayose passed a bill making illegal grazing a criminal offense came as shock to many, personally i think it is good to take measure against these attacks since the Federal government does not give a damn.
So yesterday i saw the news on palmchat that the state government just sentenced a herdsman to 2 years imprisonment for illegal grazing. I still believe that his case will be appealed and the FG will use its might to get him out of bail just like the case of Ese. But i want to hear from us, do you think Fayose's law is out of serious concern for his state safety or is it political. Thanks for your replies.

If he doesnt protect his state who will?

atleast that would serve as an example to others (Fulani).

i av neva been on d same page with Fayose on any issue,bt on this one i support him,i feel d 2 yrs is small,they should make it ten yrs.

A court in the state not d state governor sentenced him,i think u should also ask what right has china,korea and co to sentence nigerians found with drugs to death!?

Correct Man, he should have jail him for five years.

I dont think what he is doing is right, imagine if Northern states should also pass a bill about illegal trading and arresting Igbos in the North, or Northern states making mechanic workshops in some arrears illegal and thereby arresting many Yorubas. I believe that irrespective of the little discomfort that the Fulani Herdsman have caused, it is not enough to strangle the legitimate business of a particular region, remember that the cows that these herdsmen rear are also used to feed the entire Southern Nigeria. So @OP i totally disagree with you in all honesty. Thank you and God bless Nigeria.

Are you seriously comparing a state(Ekiti) with countries like China? Please what did you smoke this morning?

GeeOh:

OP, Fayose didn't jail the Herdsman, rather it was the law of Ekiti State that jailed him because he breached the law. Stop attaching sentiment on this, Fulanis are not above the law. In Kano state, Hisba police have jailed many non indigenes of Kano and destroyed people's business because they go against the law of Kano state, nobody attached sentiment to it.

And after that what next? I can bet you that that man will not smell prison, a state law is irrelevant to a federal one. If the grazing bill is successfully passed that will make Fayose's law null and void

philGeo:

Fayose is neither the court nor the judge that jailed the herdsman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's right but to me he is PERFECTLY AND MAGNIFICENTLY RIGHT.
to use the word right is an understatement.

Irrespective of the little discomfort? Really? Little discomfort?
People like you should be hanged..tufiakwa

My concern is how the Yoruba and the Igbos will celebrate when eventually the Fulani takes Fayose's head on platter.


The Fulani will be planning for him right now and our debate is whether it is right or wrong to jail someone who broke the law of a state.

By this, I am calling on lovers of freedom to come together. and stand side by side with Fayose.

And who signed the said the law? The governor and who is the governor? Fayose!!!

Am not in support of some of the acts of these herdsmen, but are you aware that majority of these herdsmen are going about their legitimate business? A state signing a law criminalizing grazing when the FG is just on its way to make it free and accessible is wrong!! The state is still under the FG.

BANDING MECHANIC WORKSHOP IN THE NORTH IS TO PLUNGE THE REGION INTO UNTOLD HARDSHIP,THOSE BUSINESSES CONTRIBUTES IMMENSLY TO D GROWTH OF THEIR ECONOMY.
TEL ME,WHAT CONTRIBUTION AND DEVELOPMENT HAS NORMADIC COW REARING BROUGHT TO ANY REGION?IT'S ONLY DESTRUCTION OF FARMS AND LEAVING PEOPLE IN TEARS AND PAIN
I SUPPORT 10 YRS JAIL TERM FOR THEM

Apologies for the choice of phrase, i am human and am against the killing of anyone by any means but let us not allow the action of few herdsmen to affect the way we treat an entire tribe and occupation. Thank you

Without a doubt and I say this as someone who loathes Fayose. This is the, I think, the most sensible thing he's done since becoming Governor.

Mobileman829:

A Court jailed him and not Fayose

Bros, grazing was never the problem.
but grazing in someone's farm and killing him if he protests is a serious crime.

Benue and Enugu are reaping the consequence of having cowards as their governors.

Why are you speaking as if you are a visitor to Nigeria?

Tell me, what brought about the Ekiti law?

Bros, the man jailed was grazing in someone's farm for goodness sake.

enough please.

You are sick.So the idiots should be allowed to continue destroying people's farmlands and killing people?

With due respect, you're talking rubbish. The ban on nomadic grazing in Ekiti state isn't a witch-hunt. These herdsmen have a history of causing death and destruction anywhere they go, the same of which cannot be said of mechanics or street traders. If these people cannot call their colleagues to order or provide their host community with relevant information to curtail their excesses, they do not deserve roam around and be potential security threats.

It is not a right for herdsmen to graze on land belonging to another. If they want to graze they should purchase their land and do so or acquire permission where land purchase is not possible.

Once again, I salute Fayose for his boldness to take the security of his state as priority.

Fayose 100% correct

Fulani people have murdered thousands of people in Benue, I think doing this will chase them out of the Ekiti

May God bless you for this reply. Dont mind some of these fools out there, how can u go to another state and cause mayhem and expect to wlka away? Fayose is the man

Once again not all Fulani people because your president is also Fulani but 'Fulani herdsmen' let us not generalize these issues.
