On April 18th 2016 Mr. Okonkwo Afamefuna
wrote the following on his Facebook wall.
"I decided to read a copy of the National
Grazing Reserve Bill and I was surprised at
what I saw. The Bill creates a council to be
chaired by a Chairman to be appointed by
the president. The council shall have the
power to take your land anywhere the
land is located in the country and then
pay you compensation.
Your land, when taken, shall be assigned
to herdsmen who shall use your land for
grazing purposes. They shall bring cows to
the land and you shall lose the land
permanently to those Fulani cattlemen".
My conclusion? This is the Sudan
downloading right here in Nigeria.
On April 18th 2016 Mr. Duru Collins wrote the
following on his facebook wall.
"This National Grazing Bill if passed into law will
just mark the beginning of apartheid in our
country. When the government of Zimbabwe
collected land from the white people who
naturalised there the whole world worked
against President Robert Mugabe. Sanctions
were stiffened against his regime even though
the whites in Zimbabwe were not African by
origin. In our country today there are people
that are not Nigerians by origin and these people
are making laws to take over our inheritance.
This nation will burn once this law is passed". My
conclusion? This is Lebanon and Zimbabwe
downloading right here in Nigeria.
Kindly forgive the repetition of some earlier
words at the beginning of his contribution but
on April 18th Mr. Gabriel Ogbonnaya wrote the
following on his Facebook wall.
"I decided to read a copy of the National Grazing
Reserve Bill and I was surprised at what I saw.
The Bill creates a commission to be chaired by a
Chairman to be appointed by the president, to
be confirmed by the senate. The commission
shall have the power to take your land
anywhere the land is located in the country and
then pay you compensation. Your land, when
taken, shall be assigned to herdsmen who shall
use your land for grazing purposes. They shall
bring cows to the land and you shall lose the
land permanently to those cattlemen. If you
feel that the commission was not right to take
your land, you can go to court but before you go
to court, you must first of all notify the federal
attorney general of your intention to sue the
commission. Apart from notifying, you must get
the consent and authority of the Federal
Attorney General before you can sue. So that
means that if the Attorney General refuses to
give his consent to the suit, you have lost your
land forever to the herdsmen. And this law,
when passed, shall apply to the whole country so
it means that your land in the village or
anywhere is not safe. The National Grazing
Reserve Commission would have the power to
take away your land from you anytime they want
and pay you whatever they want as
compensation (even when you don't want to sell,
and remember that for you to get compensation,
you must have documents showing or proving
ownership). So I think that we all in the South
West, South South and South East must rise up
and reject this Bill. We must do all things to force
our national Assembly members from passing
that bill into law. That bill is a deliberate attempt
to take our lands and hand the land over to the
Fulani cattlemen since it is only the Fulanis that
rear cattle in Nigeria. That law, when passed,
shall fulfill the directive of Uthman Dan Fodio and
other northern leaders to take over other parts of
Nigeria. I implore you to use all available means
to implore your senator and Rep not to pass that
law. That law will destroy Nigeria. All over the
world, ranches are established and used to rear
cattle. The farmers buy land and put there cattle
there. There is no country where the land of the
citizens are compulsorily acquired and given to
others.
This is evil, and designed to favor the Fulanis
where the President comes from. We must resist
the passage of that bill into law to save Nigeria,
and to protect our future generations". My
conclusion? This is Yugoslavia and Rwanda
unfolding right here in Nigeria.
Finally in an article titled ''The Outlaws Of
Islam'' (Premium Times, April 15th 2016), I
wrote the following,
"And if they are still in any doubt about where
all this is heading in the Nigerian context they
should consider the following. On December
30th 1964, Mallam Bala Garba told the West
African Pilot newspaper that:
''the conquest to the sea is now in sight. When
our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago
that our conquest will reach the sea shores of
Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting
its possibilities. Today have we not reached the
sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt.
It must be conquered and taken''.
This is an eloquent expression of radical Islam,
with its pervasive use of violence as a tool of
conquest and subjugation, in its purest and
most obvious form.
Inspired and equipped with this supporter of APC
philosophy and ethos, the whole of core northern
Nigeria was conquered by Sheik Usman Dan
Fodio through the use of terror and by the power
of the sword in the name of jihad. Millions of
innocent non-Muslims were cut to pieces in the
process.
Given the activities of Boko Haram and the Fulani
herdsmen in our country today it appears that
some in our shores are still interested in
implementing that satanic agenda.
They wish to continue where Usman Dan Fodio
stopped and they wish to ''dip the Koran in the
Atlantic ocean''.
Their latest attempt is the introduction and
proposal of what is known as the National
Grazing Reserve Bill which will give the Fulani
herdsmen the right to claim other peoples land
all over the country and which will empower
them by law to create their own settlements and
communities in the territory of others.
Worse still under that law the government will be
compelled to fund those settlements and put all
that they need in terms of infrastructure in place
for them. That is why our Minister of Agriculture
is now talking about importing Brazilian grass for
the Fulani herdsmen and their cattle.
This subtle and exceptionally brilliant attempt to
infiltrate and conquer by guile and assimilation
reminds me of the frightful laws that were put in
place in the old wild western prairies of 19th
century America.
Those laws gave the white settlers rights over
the lands of the indigenous Red Indians and saw
the Indians themselves subjected to genocide
and ethnic cleansing and herded into barren
reservations that were not fit for human
habitation.
It was in this way that the "wild west" was
conquered and the once proud and noble war-
like Indian tribes of the western prairies were
subjugated and subdued.
Sadly our legislators in the National Assembly
from the south and the Middle simply do not
appreciate and cannot comprehend the serious
implications of what they are doing by
supporting this evil legislation and neither will
the consequences of their naivety and folly be
suffered by their constituents until it is far too
late.
If that law is ever passed and implemented, two
years from that time we will regret it deeply as a
nation because it will result in nothing but
conflict, chaos and strife between the Fulani
herdsmen and settlers on the one hand and the
local indigenous population on the other.
The tragedy that unfolded in Jos, Plateau state
between the indigenous Christian Beroms and
the settler Muslim Fulani for many years is a
graphic example of what will be replicated all
over the south and the Middle Belt between the
Fulani and the various local indigenous
populations if that law is ever passed and
implemented.
As a matter of fact it will be far worse than
anything that Jos ever saw. The Cattle Grazing
Act will not result in enhancing unity and peace
but instead it will result in division, bloodshed,
carnage and chaos". My conclusion? This is Iraq,
Syria and Libya unfolding right here in Nigeria.
When you create a conflict which has its roots in
religion, ethnicity, land rights, the attempt to
marginalize, dominate, subjugate and conquer
others and the quest for liberation and freedom
from slavery and bondage all mixed into one you
are toying with a conflagration that will not only
be horrendous and that will not only affect the
whole of Africa but will not end in the next fifty
years to one hundred years.
Let me be clear: the greatest evil that we are
confronted with in Nigeria today is the National
Grazing Reserve Bill. It is more evil than anything
that we have ever seen before. It is more
insidious and dangerous than anything that we
can possibly imagine.
It will do more harm to us than Boko Haram and
the Nigerian civil war put together and it will
result in open war and the total disintegration
of Nigeria. I am speaking prophetically and I am
saying this under the leading and guidance of
the Holy Spirit. We must stop this cantankerous
and divisive Bill from seeing the light of the day
and being made into law. There are some things
that are bigger, greater and more important
than partisan politics and this is one of them.
We must all stand together regardless of our
political affiliation and stop this evil Trojan horse
from being smuggled into our ranks by those
that seek to subjugate and conquer us. We must
resist those that seek to strip us of our self-
respect, self-worth, liberty and dignity.
We must stand up against those that seek to
destroy us and rob us of our faith and our
ancestral lands. We must say ‘’never’’ to those
that seek to belittle and enslave us and reduce
us to nothing even in our own nation.
May God help our people and our country and
may He deliver us from evil.

Will Nigeria ever move forward with criticisms flying in from left right and center??

Nigeria will move forward as long as those criticism are Objective, Constructive and Periodical. Criticising as at when due is the key to criticism not criticizing after the happening's.
God bless Nigeria
God bless the youth's
God bless our intellectuals
Stand up for what's right, even if you're standing alone.

MUVA:

As for me i don't see anything apartheid here. If you were a government student or an economics student it is clear that all land belongs to the government. And government is not taking this land for free there is compensation

Amen!

I've always been a fan of that ideology on your signature. I swear, its they system being used in developed countries that's why they move forward.

Let the world hear us now before it to late.

Either way, Nigeria is in some deep shitt especially when a dopehead becomes the voice of reason.

Unfortunately,most Nigerians don't know the difference between fighting for their rights and fighting for the politicians. Instead for districts to start calling their sleeping senators and threaten them with recall, they'd rather make noise online. What a sorry generation!

Please can you repeat yourself? Let's see if you made sense to the subject matter?

North East and North West Nigeria covers over 60% percent of the geographical expression of Nigeria. This should be adequate for her indigens to farm their livestock with modern means. When goverrnment insists on appropriating lands from other regions that have less lands in other to give to those from bigger land mass for cattle grazing, then something is behind that.

The US consumes 35 million cows per annum yet the their government did not go about usurping lands in States to achieve that level of beef production. The idea to cunningly force Fulani villages in all parts of the Nigeria union will not work. The dream to rep!icate Ilorin in the South is a pipe one. And will be resisted vehemently.

Buhari smacks of evil and I so much hate him for that. What a beast in our hands!

we are farmers in the south we need our land
we need our land



Fulani our not nigerians
they must be chase back to the desert

But they know they have no grasslands yet they still want to rear cattle.

zombie you need to go to a hospital ASAP. Before it will be late.

Why should my ancestors land be given to some nomadic and stone age cattle herdsmen?

If they want to raise their cattle, they should do it on their forefathers land.

The owners of the land should buy lands and build a ranch as it is done elsewhere.

Capital N and O to the devilish and subtle Fouta Jallon inspired Bill.

How many people in these villages have C of O on their lands esp when they are inherited? When the NIPP projects was started, many of the community people were promised compensation for their lands that came over 2 years after the construction started. The worst thing is that people were paid as low as 4k esp when there is no economic tress on it, even if there is farm produce on it. The North has too much land mass that can be used to plant the proposed IMPORTED GRASS.
