​Farmers in Ondo State rose from a meeting on Tuesday to address the perennial conflict between farmers and Fulani herdsmen, concluding​ that​
the planned grazing zones and grazing routes would not be feasible in the state.

In January, President Muhammadu Buhari said a plan to map out grazing areas would soon be presented to the Nigerian Governors Forum as a temporary solution to the frequent conflicts until cattle owners are persuaded to adopt other means of rearing.

But the Ondo farmers ​said in a communiqué that the planned grazing routes and zones were not practicable in the state as lands were not sufficiently available for such projects.

They also demanded federal government’s immediate payment of N2 billion compensation to victims of herdsmen in the area.

“The federal government should encourage and facilitate the option of feed lots, making hays and establishment of mega ranches in the North,” the communiqué read in part.

The ​farmers ​said that the nomadic herdsmen were entitled to a settled life as well.

The ​farmers held that the position had become necessary in view of the peculiarities of Ondo State as well as other South-West states that are all largely tree crop zones and in further consideration of the fact that the people were largely farmers.

“We cannot afford to be lukewarm to the havoc being wrecked on our people through wanton destruction of our farms, bush burning, rape, robbery and kidnapping (the recent one being that of the Chinese),” the communiqué read further.
They argued that it should no longer be accepted that the nomads would continue a life of wandering about in the jungle in the guise of keeping their culture.
“Culture is dynamic, it is not static and that the direct descendants of father Abraham/ Ibrahim which are directly the Jews and the Arabs respectively have modernized their husbandry and they are doing better.

“The culture of roaming about with animals serves no one’s interest, including that of the cattle, the herdsmen, the farmers and the nation.

“If our brothers up North are not ready to modernize their culture, it should be restricted to their geographical zone, since culture is geographically restricted as well,” it read.

The ​farmers​ therefore called on senators and representatives from Ondo State to press for reliefs for the plight of farmers in the state as a result of the activities of herdsmen.

Good Call!
Fulani herdsmen has been profiled as one of the most violent blood letters in the whole world and the biggest threat to Nigerian unity. All Buhari wants to do is reward them with a national grazing part. Instead of pictures of dead criminal fulani herdsmen from the army, all we see daily is shiite, ipob and other none violent Nigerians being decimated by buhari and buratai his attack dog with glee.


SAY NO TO STATE BACKED FULANI CLEANSING OF OTHER TRIBES. SAY NO TO PART WAYS OF MORE BLOOD.

Lalasticlala, the birthday hangover never clear

These Ondo farmers are the most intelligent farmers in Nigeria. No state government (down south at least) should allow for the establishment of grazing routes in their domains. The herdsmen should adapt to modernization instead of forcing their backwardness and mayhem on innocent farmers


ARGUE WITH YOUR ANCESTORS

op what concerns you with Ondo state plz?

what is the write up news from your own state?

Very good. Ondo State Government should create her own Ranches, rent them out to cattle rearers, charge them rents and rates etc. F.G. should give money out for fertilizer, grass planting and separation fencing.

“The federal government should encourage and facilitate the option of feed lots, making hays and establishment of mega ranches in the North,”

This will help reduce destruction of farms and halt murderous rampages by Fulani herdsmen.

providing graze land for them to permanently claim it and installed their emir.

other states should follow suit by rejecting this proposed grazing land

Message is succinctly delivered by the farmers.

Rubbish.... . Dog eaters....

Not surprised.

Bullcrap!

Why not create bombing routes for Boko Haram while you're at it? Or pipe-blowing routes for militants?

These people are not fit to be around the rest of Nigerians. They are threats to everyone that happens upon them, security -wise and otherwise.

The government either treats them like the enemies of peace that they are, or simply admit an association with them. #EOD

Even our farmers are intellectuals and learned...proudly O2D..repping surulere, igbomoba and odojomu.

Giving grazing route- to them cowboys,is like giving them a licence to kill on the route.

These farmers are both intelligent and constructive, they just outlined basic concepts that the federal government seems to be avoiding in order to deal with this backward mentality.

Too much of Indian films make you forget ur name and adopt Indian name..

amiskurie:

the farmers should also set numerous trap poison (water and grass) on the farms so that the fulani herdsmen cattle would eat them and die... and they would learn a lesson not to enter people's farms.
