Nigerians Must Reject This Bill In Its Totality by akinjuly77(m): 12:57pm On Apr 23, 2016
Nigeria under the BROOM spirit is about to pass, enact a law that will empower Fulani herdsmen to own every grass that is green in Nigeria. Nigeria is seating on a gun powder that could explode if the National Assembly passes the grazing bill empowering Fulani herdsmen to own any grass that is green in Nigeria.

If this bill is passed and Fulani herdsmen comes to your farm with their cattle, if you talk "pim" and they raise alarm that "Kolawale, Okonkwo, Osagie, Oghenekwumo" challenged them by saying "pim" automatically you've contravened this bill and your action is punishable by either paying 50,000 or five years imprisonment or both fine and imprisonment.

Let us strongly pray for the bill to be passed & signed because only such extremity of insanity among rulers is ever capable of making the masses come to their senses & take up the power they have which they don't know they have.
