May God bless the likes of Goke7, Rawani and Mynd44 for their logical contribution. For those condemning mynd44 post should read the part where he mentioned "the criminal among them also migrate to the north due to vegetation returns". Though I understand that the FG should have declare the fulani herdsmen as terrorists but substantial amount of them are not as the evil elements (migrants from north Africa predominantly) among them is quite small. As for IPOB, I wouldn't say they are terrorists but if the FG hadn't step in, the situation would have boomerang to terrorism. 1 Like |

BALLOSKI: This is what I particularly don't understand. So the 99% of herdsmen (that are busy providing meat for over 150 million Nigerians EVERY DAY and have been doing so for over 50 years) that are hardworking animal farmers should be termed terrorists because of the activities of a criminal 1% that have now emerged carrying arms and inflicting deadly terror? Like what kind of reasoning is this? Pure ignorance I tell you. |

BALLOSKI: Sir, I never said all Ibos are Igbos neither did I mention that Animal husbandry is a terrorist act, I only made reverence to Ipob being proscribe by FG which to me is the best thing to do just that unfortunately some lives were lost. The recent draught (between 2015&2016) was responsible for the increased nomadic farming among the herdsmen who had to migrate to MB and South region for their livestock feeding. The issue I have with some of the herdsmen is their rude and provoking attitude as they invade on farmlands resulting to innocent killing of farmers and shortage of food which is on of the few reasons price of commodity sky rocketed in the market. |

Mynd44: It might interest you to note that previously the Nigerian government have embarked on the campaign against tse-tse fly between 1955 and 1978. Intact it is regarded as the most successful campaign against the fly, it involves both aerial and ground spray of aerosol. After that, the rate of the damage was drastically reduced, but unfortunately successive governments have not given the required attention to this menace, that's why it looks as if it's becoming a burden to us these days. Aside Nigeria, A successful eradication programme was completed in 1997 on the island of Zanzibar in East Africa. Following a three-year fly-suppression campaign followed by release of sterile insects, the tsetse flies were eradicated and no case of sleeping sickness has since been reported on the island. Similarly, on the Loos Islands off the coast of Guinea, an integrated eradication campaign was launched in 2006 and, today, the tsetse fly population has been reduced to non-detectable levels. Likewise, a recent success story has come from Botswana in which country has been successful in clearing the tsetse fly from the Okavango Delta region, using sequential aerial application of low dosage, non-residual insecticides as aerosols. So you see my dear friend, the solution abounds as other African countries have successfully eradicated this menace, it's simply our complacent nature to serious issues thatbus actually the problem. On the issue of the importation of grass, I will the government of the day is not being sincere about the whole thing. First Audu Ogbeh said that government will start importation of grasses (not seedlings) that will be used to feed cows in the North http://nigeriantimes.ng/news/grazing-reserve-fg-to-import-grass-from-brazil-ogbeh/ There was a plan to set up grazing fields all over the country where the imported grasses (not seedlings) will be made available to the cattle rearers, and this even got the backing of the senate. http://dailypost.ng/2016/05/09/buharis-plan-to-import-grass-from-brazil-gets-senate-backing/ So my dear friend your defence is not in tandem with the reality, you are also being economical with the truth by telling us that they want to import the seedlings for planting not for direct consumption while in reality, the reverse is the case. The seedlings defence came up when his statement had been hit with wide spread criticism, they only said that as a damage control, but trust me Nigerian are no fools. Then the big question is "why importing grass"? First and foremost we should not forget that we have many agricultural institutes scattered all over the country, the Minister never for once liased with these institutes to find a solution to these challenges before coming up with idea of grass importation. Secondly, it is pertinent to note that the cattle rearing business is a private business , why will the government of the day use our common wealth and import grasses for them, why won't the herdsmen import their grasses for their cattle, or are they going to give the populace a discount at the end of the day, I know government tries to get involved in some business to keep it afloat but I don't think they got it right on this one. Time will not permit me to continue but I have a lot of points on this discussion, and looking at the whole scenario makes me weep for my dear nation as I wonder think of the future of this nation with this kind of thinking from the government and the populace. |

Mynd44: who says tse tse fly can't be curbed? Even the so called tse tse fly hav not finished feasting on humans so the population is not significant in that sense. And its treatable too. Ranching is d way. And who says we don't need quality grass in the east? Farmers in d east rear animals without feasting on peoples crops. Did govt provide alternatives or ranches for them? No once is northern farmers govt starts thinking of foreign grass. I hate d lopsided policies going on in this country. You as a youth should speak against it too. |

clarocuzioo: You raised three points so I will number and reply 1. As regards tsetsefly, you said the measures stopped around 1978 which means it is a problem again. So there is an issue with raising cattle down south which explains why they run back when the rains come. 2. Their times, people have been told to read news articles with care and to note what is direct and reported speech. In this link, http://nigeriantimes.ng/news/grazing-reserve-fg-to-import-grass-from-brazil-ogbeh/ which you sent me to, I brought out this quote from Audu Ogbeh. It is in quotes so he said it “We are producing massive hectares of grasslots for the consumption of cattle; we have received these grasses from Brazil and we are growing them in massive quantities. “Cattle herdsmen want grasses for their cattle; such grass is what we are growing in large quantities and, within the next three months, some of these will be ready Did you miss where he said "growing in large quantities"? How is that importing grasses for direct consumption? Note this is from the link you provided. As for the second link, it had nothing of note in terms of direct quotes 3. Cattle rearing is private business and ypu think government should not be helping but farmers buy fertilizers at subsidised rates, garages are built by government for transporters, airports are built for private airlines right? The government has to keep this business afloat because it is an essential commodity. 1 Like |

Rawani: I can't just understand how people reason in Nigeria. I kept saying, for example, if an Ibo sold a fake drug in kano and people died as a result, are we now going to descend on every Ibo man operating a medicine store in Kano and tag all Ibo drug sellers as killers ? Why can't we separate the wheat from the chaff? Fayose even banned open grazing in his state. Seriake Dickson created a ranch in bayelsa state( I know that's helping in some way). I expect Nigerians to say a law should be promulgated that will say : attacking people on their farm and destruction of their crop is an act of terrorism. Not blacklisting the means of livelihood of a people. 1 Like |

One doesn't need a talisman to know that the herdsmen attacks were a well orchestrated execution of a northern agenda,the boldness of KANU n Ipob that needed to be quickly checkmated as it presents a vicious threat to the northern politico-economic interest in Nigeria, allowing the herdsmen attack to continue would have earn KANU n Ipob lots of sympathy n support with unpredictable outcome, so cessation of the herdsmen attack doesn't require "rocket science" to decipher n understand. |
