[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]

Vivalavida99:
Now, surely, this satanist has spinned out of control. We have to be our own keeper. The whole country can not become the grazing and killing field of boko haram insurgents disguised as hausa fulani herdsmen.

Leiman100:
is this the peace talk you are talking about or tribal insult?

Owamudia:


This is the time for ibos to go back home and defend their homesteads.
As ibos are trooping into the SW so are Fulanis trooping into the east.
ibos will remain visitors/strangers in the SW no matter how long they stay while Fulanis will eventually take over your ancestral lands.
This is no time for cowardly empty chest-beating.
Be warned!

EazyMoh:

Reprisals are never the solution. If you think the solution to this problem is the president's condemnation then you are on a long thing. The readers -farmers clash is a Continental phenomenon, not just Nigeria.
In my state Jigawa, this problem was solved by former Governor Sule Lamido. About 50meter wide grazing paths were kept by the government and the farmers were warned not to cultivate it. The following planting season the farmers cultivated the grazing paths. The govt had to send tractors to mow down the crops and since then rearers-farmers clash has stopped in my state. This is the best way to solve the crisis.
A typical fulani man prides himself as fearless and ruthless. If you think reprisals can scare them away you are very wrong. They do not forget nor forgive, plus they have the advantage of been very mobile.
So the best solution is to dialogue and have common grounds then it would be easier to apprehend those that default.
I rest my case.

Yujin:

Ok. You can create grazing routes for them in Jigawa but here in Igboland where land is scarce, we won't spare an inch for murderers. You say they pride themselves as fearless and ruthless; we pride ourselves too in such manner. From today, herdsmen in Igboland are declared unsafe. We will see how they will survive it. All their camps in Igboland are known and will be handled appropriately. Igbos are too big for fulanis to invade and occupy our lands. May God forbid that men remain and fulanis occupy our homeland. They will not live to tell the story.

chukwudi44:


They will be very widescale reprisals!!! You can count on that!! No one has a monopoly over violence

[size=13pt]whether the owners of the land want to sell or not, abi ?

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.

[size=13pt]stop!!! the federal govt does not. . . . . repeat. . . DOES NOT own all the land and territories in nigeria. where did yo get that from?[/size]

We are one Nigeria and we must learn to tolerate ourselves and live in peace. We must shun the politics of hatred and tribalism.

[size=13pt]we are not one nigeria. . . the earlier we admit that the better for our unity. we cannot solve our national problem if we deny that one exists. we must recognize that we are not one, and find ways of uniting and treating each other better. those who deny that we have real problems are prolly the cause of the problems.[/size]

chukwudi44:
If the fulani want to attempt an agatu-like scenario in igboland,they better get ready for reprisals in major cities of the east!! The igbos are a majority ethnic group and. Expect reprisals in key eastern cities like onitsha,Aba,Enugu etc!! No one has a monopoly over violence.

EazyMoh:

Lol! Well the land no matter how scarce belongs to the government, and all it would do is compensate the people. Understand me am trying to point to the best solution. Even if you succeed in annihilating all Fulani's that enter your land, their tribesmen from as far as Senegal and Central Africa would organize a massive reprisal and the blood bath continues. Trust me they'd never give up!
I say no to violence as a solution to violence.

Yujin:

It doesn't matter if they are known not to give up. Igboland will never spare an inch for nomads. Igbos can be very ruthless if they chose to be and the fulanis will soon discover that. Many of us scattered all over the world have got the info and we will respond accordingly. It is clearly a case of invasion which we shall deal with. Igbos cannot be intimidated you should know that by now.

Realman87:


So this is what u can say. Fulani herdsmen are rampaging the country but ur problem is the igbos. What has voteless minority got to do with this thread. Your people landed Nigeria in a mess due 2 hatred 4 igbos. You people cannot live with the fact that igbos are superior to your tribe. Mind u, am not igbo; but the earlier you people accept that Igbos are a superior race, the better for Southern Nigeria. your people hate igbos because they are intimidated by the superior igbos. This is 2016 and the truth is coming out gradually. even the British colonialists are already confessing.

enlightenedmind:


U r absolutely right. The SEs can do their business anywhere in Nigeria, but when some one comes there for business, it is invasion. SMH. Nigerians do business everywhere and anywhere. We always had to abide by laws as we met them in the states we choose to do biz in.
