The alternative is simple, they should graze in their states and transport the cattles down to the south via trucks and trailers as they do whenever they are bringing cattles into PH.

Gbam hatred will not let the igbos and their senators working against the bill realize this. Its just like restricting igbo traders to the SE because some of them are fond of selling fake goods. The govt will fish out the bad eggs among the herders and let the sane ones graze their cattles in peace

PassingShot:

And who has told you the ranches to be established for them will be free?

Whichever way, they will pay a form of renting fee to the govt.

blackmatter007:


No one restricted the fulani to one location, They are free to trade anywhere in the country, you are a hateful human to compare igbo business methods with that of the fulani's.

Concerning the Topic, all we are saying is the bill is outrageous, how can you seize someone's land and expect the person to collect permission from you to sue him to court? Nah it is never done anywhere. In saner Climes modern animal husbandry are practiced to improve meat and milk production but in the fulani's case, it is Different, they expect the federal Government to finance their business, How about the federal Government seizing lands in the north and building Shops, Malls and giving it out to the igbos free of charge? I will never support that crazy bill and i hope it is trashed out!

All the lands in the various states are under the control of the state Gov and not FG.BTW FG owned lands are our common patrimony and should no be used to appease any tribe or group of businessmen!!!Better tell your peple that this bill or even if it manages to become law will never be applicable in the east. I can assure you of that.If you people want to continue from where Othman Dan fodio failed ,we are ready for you

You are a selfish man. If the fulani's were igbo traders would u support a bill restricting them to the east alone? If the fulani's cant raise their cattle in any part of the country, its like trampling upon their human rights. Cattle rearing is their business and they have the right to live and do business any where in Nigeria. The FG has made a plan to settle them in specific grazing areas across the country so there will be peace

You are a tribalist. Assuming i opened a thread blasting the fulani's i wont be considered as a weak link in the south. You guys are not diplomatic and believe violence and confrontations is the solution to every problems. My suggestion so far makes me a coward in the eyes of you and your fellow ipad yoots. This is the reason your lord and saviour Nnamdi Kanu is locked up in jail for displaying bravery without common sense. You claim the cattle herders are killers. The FG propose to give them portions of lands for grazing so they wont eat your farm produce anymore. What else do you want? You preffer they send them back to the north to rear their cattles forgetting they have the right to live and work anywhere in Nigeria just like you When fashola sent back igbo beggars we remmember the reactions from the easterners. Do onto others what u can do to yourselves

The FG owns all the land your parents built on. If they discover a natural resources on your street tomorrow, they will bring in bulldozers to dismantle all buildings on your street. They might consider you for compensation if you have the C.OF.O. Thats the simple truth. You cant tell the FG how it should use its land, air space and water ways. That is why they are government. The grazing fields will be provided and there is nothing u can do. If u protest any how, i kukuma trust our trigger happy security forces to do their job

What's your point here? It is the pastoral normads that have ensure self sufficiency for the country in terms of meat production since the birth of Nigeria. I am not aware about us depending on imported meat to meet our meat demands.


You're free to establish piggery anywhere you deem fit. The biggest piggery in Nigeria used to be in the North. What's your point here?


You're a big joke right? from time immemorial, the Nigerian cattle farmers have been known to move about with their cattle, grazing and destroying farmlands in the process. Why did all past govts fail to force them to "acquire land from existing land systems"?


Some of you are too naïve to understand that we already have the challenge with us and solutions must be proffered. Instead of being emotional about it and spewing trash, why not we suggest workable alternatives to the govt's plan rather than maintaining the hard posture that bring continued fights and destructions?

If you do not support the govt plan, please tell us the realistic alternative way for govt to take these herdsmen out of the street and the farms?
The answer should not be "they must buy lands from their operation locations, bla bla bla" without telling us how to ensure it happens.

santos247:
Bros, pack well !!!. Nigeria still import most of its poultry and fish consumption. Tell me why cattle farmers should get prefrential treatment as against other livestock and other farmer groups. Every cattle farmer should device a means of getting feed for its animals. Shikena. If theres no feed, sell off the animals. Close the bussiness and start trading intextile.

chopchop2015:
I heard the SAMBISA FOREST is as big as Enugu and ANAMBRA STATE. If sambisa is that big with enormous pastures that favours cattle rearing, why not the federal government speed up the flushing of the bokoharam insurgents, so that the forest can be allocated to these Fulani herdsmen?

PassingShot:

That will mean they're not entitled to establish their business in any part of Nigeria they wish to.

It's just like asking all Igbo traders to only take their wares to other part of the country when they need to sell them. Not owning shops, factories and offices in those other parts.

Wake up to reality joor.

[b]I laugh at the ignorance displayed by many emotionally clouded Nigerians who are against the grazing bill proposed for the Fulani cattle rearers in all states of the Federation. Let's remember that like every other Nigerians, the Fulani's have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. It is their constitutional right as Nigerians to own grazing fields in any choice location of the country so far it is paid for or provided by the government. We ought to applaud the move made by the federal govt because it will help in ending the unnecessary violence between the Farmers and the Herdsmen. By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle. I observed most critics of this Bill are from the eastern part of the country. The igbos need to realize that the federal govt owns all the land and territories in Nigeria and it can decide on how it chooses to use every inch of its territory. The fulani's have every right to graze in the SE and there is nothing any one can do about it. It is their right as a Nigerian just like the igbos are the most travelled tribe doing business in every part of the country. We cannot decide to restrict all igbo traders to the east because of the attitude of few bad eggs amongst them likewise the Fulani's. Most Nigerians criticized the federal govt when they decide to create ranches and import grasses from Brazil to graze these cattles so the herder wont roam about. Now the FG is shifting plans to create a grazing site for the herders in every state which is not a bad move by all standards. We are one Nigeria and we must learn to tolerate ourselves and live in peace. We must shun the politics of hatred and tribalism. Lord Luggard saw the potentials in our diversity before merging us up to form this great country. We must not allow ethnicity to cloud our sense of judgement when the federal govt proposes law that will favour every Nigerian. We must support the grazing bill so the Fulani's can do their business in peace. BTW i am a Yoruba man from the SW. proudly Nigerian [/b]

@ Mr Passingshot, how many igbo traders have killed, raped and kidnapped their host communities that made the nation to debate and question their operations in that area. rather what the igbos get are their host communities burning down their shops,threating them with lagoon and so on. honestly atimes i wonder whether you people think from your anus.

IF Fulani's were peaceful nobody will remember them, what of the hausa's doing suya business or michacha here in PH have you heard people pursuing them to go back to the North, "NO" will definitely be your answer.all you need is common sense.
