It is good you are receiving the education you require.

At least, that will help to redeem you from your anarchy craving default mindset, going by the kind of topics you seem to love to fester upon.

The day of reckoning for anarchists always catch-up on them frequently, to my relish.

Rolings:


Is that not how you have your Christian colonies all over Nigeria and especially up north, have you been able to Christianize those northern states?
You are a funny man. You want to reserve the right to move freely and do your business but deny others these same rights

Half way into 2018, and after scores of thousands of deaths, Audu Ogbeh just realized that open grazing, in his words "are no longer viable" oponu.
That is the relic that a prehistoric president appointed as the minister of agriculture.

Halfway into 2018, and agriculture minister just realized that the open grazing he and his principal had thrown all their support on was discontinued in USA because it was counter productive as far back at the 19th century!
Now, he and his government have insisted on spoon feeding cattle owners by building ranches. These are private businesses o!
Its all right. If government is investing NGN179 billion into building ranches, what is the projected revenue it hopes to realize from that huge capital outlay?
Oh, I forgot...they are merely making cash gifts to cattle owners and herdsmen, and the rest of the money will line the pockets of the anointed few in this administration.
In 5 years time, there'll be nothing to show for it, and we would all forget the tongue in cheek service Bubu and his henchmen embarked on to end herdsmen/farmers clashes.

They aren't seizing lands for it. So whose lands are the ranches going to sit on? In a few decades, the indigenes will be fighting the herdsmen who would then claim the lands and adjoining areas belonged to their ancestors. It always happen that way.

Irresponsible, blood sucking, demonic government.

Mrchippychappy:



Illiterate! have the igbos in the north ever laid claim to even a grain of sand in the north? has the FG ever created some kind of colony or settlement for igbos? we have igbos in the north and in the west, we have yorubas in the east and north, has any of these tribes tried to lay claim to the north? why wouldn't the northerners give peace a chance? why the desperation to forcefully encroach and grab the land of other regions? a mans native land is his God given heritage and his ancestral home and I for one wouldn't fold my hand and watch while you northern dimwits try to hijack my ancestral home land!

Cretaceous:

My brother, if truly you're a Yoruba man, then thank you for speaking up. The way our brothers are behaving, asslikcing Buhari and being in the fore front of every evil policy of this government hurts me to the marrow. it makes me lose hope in the Yorubas. I'm so terribly ashamed by their acts of servitude and slavery. disgusting

Baroba:
One of the reasons we have to remove this jihadist called Buhari and the fake pastor Osibanjo.. Little Emperor Umahi Nweze did not suprise me, the man has been detrimental to everything Igbo, I grade him and Okoroawusa with the same score..

omenkaLives:
Dear IPOD Ps, please, the move is to bring lasting peace to the people of Benue state and beyond. I know your desire, just as you made very clear in my signature, is to see men women and children killed in their numbers everyday as their blood sustains your wailing diet.

There shall be peace in Benue state and Nigeria as opposed to what you bloodthirsty beasts desire.

Ranching it is.

Please, if you don't like the move and would rather blood flows everyday, you have parents and siblings... You know exactly what to do.

Mcreloaded:
Wish the federal government will also help all other live stock farmers to set up ranches all over the country like the pig farmer, goat farmer etc .
At the end of the day its the proper way of animal husbandry

Looking Ahead... 2019
FACTS... NOT FICTION...
--------------------------------------
*Before you cast that vote in the next presidential election in 2019*, consider the following: A vote for Buhari is a vote for *cow head:* which will be replaced by your blood.

1. Buhari killed Ben ogedengbe by a death penalty for a crime that didn't carry death penalty when he committed it.

2. Buhari doesn't attend the Federal Council meetings yet collects his allowances. Mr. Integrity indeed.

3. Buhari canceled former Governor Jakande's metroline and forfeited the $50 million paid for it by the then Lagos State Government

4 Buhari used Violence to stop the September 1985 National Conference of the National AssociatIon of Nigeria Students.

5. Buhari jailed Tai Solarin and denied him his asthma drugs simply because he campaigned against military rule and for democracy.

6. Buhari Jailed Nduka irabor and Tunde Thompson for writing a truthful report which embarrassed his Government

7. Buhari raided respected Papa Awolowo's house and seized his passport so he couldn't travel out of the country. Was he also corrupt?

8.Buhari threw Former vice President Alex Ekweme in jail even though it was proven that Ekweme never stole any money.

9. He jailed honest and respected pa Adekunle Ajasin.

10. He jailed Fela Kuti in I984 for singing against the dictatorial tendencies of his Military Government

11 Doctors, remember that Buhari banned the Nigeria medical Association (NMA)

12. Buhari stopped Ooni of Ife for traveling abroad simply because he visited the holy land of Israel in 1984

13. He broke up press conference of ASSU in 1984 and detained four of their executives

14 He jailed Beko Ransome Kuti who only demanded for the release of his brother.

Nigerians must be careful what they wish for!

Keep sharing to keep Nigeria democratic and free from oppression. *LEOPARD DOESN'T CHANGE ITS COLOUR*

An illiterate who doesn't even know the content of the news he is reacting to, has just aired his views and betrayed his ignorance.

For your education, open grazing is what has been causing conflict.

Ranching is the way out as it is in other developed climes.

Whatever the federal government chooses to do, it does not stop states from doing whatever method equally pleases them.

And it has already been stated that nobody's land would be forcefully taken. While the collaborating states already know themselves, so no need crying more than the bereaved.

The most important factor is that those who rear on the federal ranches or even state ranches, must pay rent to the federal government. Public funds should never be used to provide facilities for entrepreneurs who are in business for profit, without collection of appropriate rent.

Liar
Igbos have properties and investments all over the north including large farms and real estate. All over northern cities you see sabo Geri, Bayan Geri... Largely populated by non indigenes where ibos own properties and along come Their small little churches.. I ask again have y'all been able to Christianize the north
Religious bigot like you
Stop being paranoid
You cannot fight for GOD

Chuksonyeike:

Did the FG provide those properties for igbos in the north? Was it not acquired by private individuals? Why can't the herdsmen do same?

Islamisation agenda being chaired and anchored by Osibanjo..

Fed Govt to build 94 ranches in 10 states
Posted By: Yusuf Alli On: June 20, 2018

Ninety-four ranches are on the way in 10 states prone to herdsmen/farmers clashes.

The National Economic Council (NEC) chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has approved a 10-year National Livestock Plan which will cost about N179 billion. All 36 state governors are members of the NEC.

About N70 billion of the budget will disbursed between now and the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s first four-year tenure next year.



The project is expected to take off in Benue and Nasarawa states any time from now.

These disclosures were made by NEC representatives, including Governor Samuel Ortom, Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Audu Ogbe, and the Coordinator of the plan, Dr. Andrew Kwasari, at a session with editors in Abuja.

The session was facilitated by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) – a non-government organisation.

Ogbe, who said “open grazing is no longer viable”, said cattle rearers would be the greatest beneficiaries in the next few years.

He also said the Federal Government has no intention of seizing anybody’s land by force.

A technical presentation of the NEC-approved plan, including the enumeration of the six key pillars on which the plan is built, was made by Kwasari.



He said: “In addition to loss of human lives, it is estimated that Nigeria loses about $14 billion (N5.04 trillion) annually to herdsmen-farmers’ conflicts.

“Domestic annual milk production in Nigeria is only 400 million litres, resulting in supply

gap of about 700 million litres.

“To fill these growing gaps, Nigeria spends a large amount of its scarce foreign exchange resource to import livestock products, with average of $480.6 million (N173.3 billion) worth of milk imports alone per year.

“The National Livestock Implementation Plan is a mediation plan stemming from meetings and recommendations of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) and the National Economic Council (NEC) in 2017 as regards state interventions following the incessant pastoralist-farmer conflicts.

“We are going to have 94 ranches in 10 states. We have received 21 gazetted grazing reserves from seven states. Plan focuses on pilot intervention in the frontline states Adamawa, Benue, Edo, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba, and Zamfara.

“A Ranch Design Plan has also been proposed in models of various sizes clustered in 94 locations in the 10 pilot states. We will have clusters of 30, 60, 150, and 300 cow ranch models in a location within the donated and gazetted grazing reserves.

“The total spending for the 10-year period is slightly in excess of N179 billion. Funding for the first three years of the pilot phase is about N70 billion.

“The ranch is also designed as an integrated business which makes provision for (a) the development of commercial crop production to support livestock through the supply of quality fodder and other feed materials, (b) the formation of producers into clusters to create viable ranch herd sizes, and (c) creation of cooperatives to facilitate improved access to inputs, infrastructure, finance, markets, and support services.”

The minister said there was no going back on the creation of ranches, dismissing the insinuation that the government planned to seize land from owners or communities.

He said the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers were not about anti-open grazing laws.

His words: “So the conflict didn’t begin because the laws were passed. No, the conflict has been brewing but the laws were enacted in desperation by a state. Farmers went to the governor and complained, ‘they are killing us’, so the governor says, ‘let me pass a law’. If we did what we are doing now 20 years ago, we will not be where we are now.

“The truth is that open grazing is no longer viable. We may not end it in one day, but it has to end and government has to help. This conflict is not peculiar to Nigeria alone; it’s happening in Argentina; it happened in the U.S . in the 19th century, in Pakistan and others. So, this is what we should have started doing 20 years ago. We didn’t and that’s why we are where we are.

“Lastly, the government has no intention of seizing anybody’s land. So, the idea that somebody is going to forcefully take the land is not true. In Fashola’s farm , there are Fulani residents there who speak Yoruba fluently.

“One of them said, ‘we have found peace here’. They produce fresh milk for Friesland Capina. If you see the turnover of Friesland Capina during their annual turnover, you will be amazed. These are the issues.

“The ECOWAS Treaty says free movement of human, animals and goods. We had a meeting with the ECOWAS ministers here. We are going to have another. We will tell them, ‘you must do what Nigerians want’. Roaming around is no longer an answer. We may have to shut our borders. How large is the Nigerian border space? 4037 square kilometres is the landmass from Sokoto to Badagry and from Borno to Calabar. Added up it’s plus 830 kilometres of coastline. Half of our borders are open . Should we build a wall? People wander in and out. So it is a very complex thing.

“When we implement this thing, how do we prevent cows from West Africa marching in when they like with no respect for our tradition and cultures? These are the problems we face.

In these ranches, we can then say nomadic education can work, the Fulani are in clusters. By 5am, they milk their cows and sell to the milk processing plants which will be installed there. They begin to realise that it pays to stay.

“There is an experiment we did in Kano. The firm tried to settle a number of herdsmen in a location and they gave scholarship to their children. If your male child is in school, they buy your milk for N120 per litre but if your girl child is in school, they buy it for N140 per litre and believe me, every morning Fulani send their children to school while they milk their cows. They have to be in one place. So a lot of incentives will come and we will use the cow dungs to generate electricity.”

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said over 180,000 internally displaced persons were in eight camps in the state.

He said: “We have over 180,000 IDPs in eight camps and over 5,000 people living with relatives. We have had massive support from all over the world and this is attributed to the media, and I commend this.

“ I believe that after this interaction, there will be more to do. The Presidency is not sleeping. They have devised various ways in giving us additional information to help us shape our opinions and also express our opinions on how best this challenge can be surmounted.

“A committee had earlier been set up, headed by my colleague from Ebonyi and, unfortunately, he is not here. He and members of his committee visited Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba, Adamawa, and Zamfara states. Of course, they came back with a report, which was considered and far-reaching decisions were taken as to how they will summon this challenge.

“I’d like to appreciate the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for his able leadership and for helping us to come this far. People say from where I come that ignorance is darker than the night and so when you’re informed, you’re in a better position to represent issues properly.

“For me, as the governor of Benue State and someone who has been affected by recent challenges of farmers and herdsmen, I must commend the media in Nigeria. You have done very well, and maybe for other states that have been affected as well, you have represented the issues well.”

General Manager of Capital FM Mercy Njoku, said the engagement was designed to enable the media to understand the herdsmen-farmers conflicts.

She said: “It is important for the press to have a clear understanding of what is happening.

“I know every media person wants peace, stability and development.

We want a country where there will be peace, security and economic boom.”

So why are you against private individuals acquiring properties in form of land for ranches? Did they say they will not pay or it's just your paranoid self that think it's all about islamization when it's purely business of cattle herding
