Man this story is insane. Your telling me people get murdered and police are yet to make arrest. Obviously they can't get prosecution if the can't get culprit. Then they claim the violent herdsmen are doing all these crimes conspicuously with assault ruffles like Rambo. Then disapear into black smoke. Nigeria should embrace Local police forces. We should have actual statistics on this issue. The frequency of this news is disturbingly high. Anyone is free to request data from NBS. I wonder if states are even keeping track though.

You can't keep rejecting every suggestion FG makes then keep crying that u are under attack. If you don't want grazing reserves then what is your solution to the problem It is far easier to criticize than to provide solution Fact is, Fulani's will keep moving around the country whether u like it or not. There is nothing anybody can do about that. You can't police every single inch of Nigeria. You can't jail them cos for training cattle that actually feeds the nation. So what is your solution if u don't want grazing reserves?? |

I don't think any sane Governor in the South would accept such stupid law...robbing the south of their little lands to give to people who have it in abundance. |

blackpanda: Look at you justifying attacks by herdsmen on farmers, is it by force? Did government provide shops and stores for commerce n trade? Do all participants not pay for any space they occupy to transact business? Feeds the nation how? Cattle are gathered, slaughtered and shared to all states monthly like crude oil proceeds or what? Do they give d beef free? Is it not paid for as private businesses for profit? Are u aware we still import beef n milk despite this retrogressive method of rearing cattle? Go n study countries that produce n export d highest beef n milk and see if any one has cattle roaming the streets or if their governments forcefully commandeered land and marked dem off as grazing reserves. Owners of cattle are business men; a serious govt would mandate all cattle rearers to purchase or lease land wherever they choose, support and provide infrastructure for standard ranches and see to it that cattle are confined in enclosed spaces, reared and catered for. This solves the twin problems of cattle rustling and herder-farmer clashes but no, u want them to keep roaming or for government to use legislation to create grazing reserves and commission with pension! To be funded from where? Why don't you advocate piggery commission and beans and rice agencies? Does the ministry of agriculture not cover livestock and plants? I can't understand how u even justify this nonsense really. Tomorrow u will taunt southern states for having little land mass, why won't those reserves then be created in the expansive north that supposedly has d best soil for planting? It means they can grow and produce the food for their cattle as well without invading farmlands! Una with una rubbish expansionist agenda are dead on arrival! 6 Likes 1 Share |

blackpanda: Sorry your logic dumb on many levels. 1. They don't have right to be violent attacking citezens to conduct business. 2. Forcefully siezing land for private business interest not fair. They could buy their own land and start their own ranches. 3. They move around country but movement of animals can be regulated. 4. You cant monitor every single inch of any place. That's an excuse idiots make to justify criminality. 5. You can jail them because they have no right to break law to conduct business. 6. They don't feed nation for free or efficiently. Nigerian eat less beef on average that Niger Republic. Japanese produce and eat more beef as well. Without needing these policies so you can't say landmass or population. The solutions is simple 1. let this be a state issue if certain states want to buy and donate land for herdsmen. 2. Start your own ranch. 3. Stop driving cattle and use trucks to transport. If you want to be old school use trains. 4. Federal government can give loans to these people to buy land. Through bank of Agriculture with generous terms. https://www.nairaland.com/3587636/solution-herdsmen-farmer-conflicts |

Nice One. #NoToGrazingReserve #YesToCommercialRanching Okowa has just joined Fayose n the Southern Nigerian Walk Of Fame. The South is Uniting against the planned Aparthied called grazing reserve. |
Re: Delta Speaker Backs Okowa On Rejection Of Grazing Reserves Bill by Nobody: 11:28am On May 02, 2017 |
The North has 75% of Nigeria's landmass. They have more than enough land. Why would some people still be thinking of coming to the South to collect their ancestral land? Every businessman (herdsmen included) is free to buy land. From Willing Sellers who are not forced anywhere in the country. But don't come and tell me you are seizing Southern ethnic and ancestral lands given from time imemorial in order to establish 'grazing reseves' (to a profession dominated by one non Southern ethnic group). That is distateful, unfriendly and in fact, ethnic cleansing. The South will never stand for it. Soyinka, Fayose, FFK, and now Okowa are our heroes whom we will never forget for their courageous stand against this injustice.2 |

[s] Blue3k:[/s] Actually your solution is dumbest on so many levels!! What do u mean by state issue You say govt should give loans to normadic herders?? Loans to do what pls. They should buy land from the state that says they dont want them?? Pls if u dont have what to say be quiet. |
Re: Delta Speaker Backs Okowa On Rejection Of Grazing Reserves Bill by Blue3k(m): 12:04pm On May 02, 2017 |
blackpanda: Loans to buy land. States can set up grazing reserve on their own. Dude u sound crazed you want government to take other land for them to use but don't want government to loan them money to buy land. Kano set up its own grazing reserves on state level other states should follow suit. Who said they don't want them? They said they don't want their criminal activity. Even if they don't there's plenty of land in north to buy probably at cheaper rate. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/kano-govt-establishes-grazing-reserves-end-farmers-herdsmen-crisis/ 1 Like |
