Don't even take what Ipkeazu is doing as a small extent. He's taking the bull by the horn. Trust me, the bakassi boys is a replica of state policing obtainable in other climes, it's by far better than Hunter's fight although equipping Hunter's is better than crying and fasting

This is rubbish!

So both herdsmen and community pay 500k each for the number of casualties on either side.
The community pays over 46k for each cow killed. What about the crops on the farmlands that were destroyed in the first place?

We absolutely have no government. This is setting a dangerous precedent, and is no way near a reasonable or lasting solution.

The farmers paid for the cows but the herdsmen didn't pay for the destroyed crops... This compensation of a thing is not fair abeg.

Why spoil for war and destruction when you've never been in one instead of suing for peace??

When people speak this way, I just see the ignorance of a juvenile shining in all its brilliance.

Anambra is lucky to have Obiano as Governor. Not many will see the wisdom in this step. Yes, in conflict resolutions, the terms can never favour both parties equally there must be some imbalance in the compromises.
The difference between George Bush Snr and Jnr on one hand and Bill Clinton on the other.
Billions of Dollars that could be used to better the lives of an average American wasted
Thousands of amputee Soldiers and permanently maimed ex service men
Many more dead in revenge terrorist attack
Both Bush Snr and Jnr knew no peace during their tenures. Yet their lack of diplomacy solved no shit
Gaddafi killed, Sadam Murdered good point now terrorism had just began.
Diplomacy pays

.....As far as this homicidal fulani herdsmen issue is concerned,it looks like its only Ayo Fayose and to a small extent Ikpeazu of Abi State that knows what to do in the South/middle-belt

..dont even get me started on the Governor of Benue ...

..At the end of the day,Fayose wins it for me.

..NB i am from Anambra State.

NGOKAFOR: Its because you believe violence can solve issues and you also lack knowledge, it is the Ibo's that are 80% traders in the cattle business. They buy the cattles and resell to those that are at the markets retailing and selling beef. You should also know these people have always lived in the community some over a 100 years so it takes a holistic way to deal with the issue and hold any responsible for injustice accountable. fayose is an idiot and what he is proposing will not solve the problem, it will only lead to violence which can be perpetrated by everyone and at the end of the day, everyone loses, period.

SaffronSpice:

so you are this afraid of your Fulani masters, to the extent of 'compensating' them 4 wrecking havoc in your land yet you hunker over your keyboard daily to call others cowards.What a shame.
Keep stroking your ego by calling your stupidity diplomacy;when the Fulanis are done with you,you'll know that "Nah gristly meat Hausa dey call nama."SMH.

You can only establish peace and development through justice. What the Governor has done is to try to heal wounds by allowing the people to agree to a resolution. Obviously if farms were destroyed in this case, they would have made a case for the destroyed farms. The fulanis are not always the aggressors all the time, they are sometimes victims. What is most important is that there must be a system through which people can seek redress and get prompt justice, whether it be the farmer or the cattle herder.

freeborn76:


That is the problem with the average Igbo man, for once you have a sane governor toeing the path of nonviolent resolution of conflicts yet you call him a fool. Na waoh! As far as I am concerned, he is a shining example of a man who wants to concentrate on developing his state and not daily grappling with settling one skirmish or the other. So you would rather he buys den guns and machetes for locals like the senseless deranged Fayose did abi? Nonsense!

Obiano Set Example As Fulani Herdsmen Trade Compensations Wit Umumbo Farmers(pix

As the nation continues to grapple with the growing menace of Fulani cattle herders, the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano may have set a worthy example with Wednesday’s exchange of monetary compensations between Fulani herdsmen and the people of Umumbo, an agrarian community in Ayamelum Local Government Area of the stamostte for losses incurred by both parties during a recent conflict.
In recent times, tension had mounted between the Fulani cattle grazers who had waged a running battle with Umumbo farmers leading to fears of imminent attack coming on the heels of the mass slaughter of the residents of Nimbo, a neighbouring community across the border in Enugu State.
However, the Special Committee that the governor had set up to mediate between cattle grazers and the agrarian communities had brought its full weight to bear on the lingering dispute, leading to the decision to pay mutually agreed compensations for infractions committed by each party against the other.



Following the terms of agreement between both parties, the Fulani herdsmen paid the sum of N500,000 each for two Umumbo farmers that lost their lives in the clash with the herders and N150,000 for a casualty who sustained severe machete cuts. The Umobo farmers on their own part paid the sum of N500,000 each for two Fulani herdsmen that also died in the clash and another N4.5m for 97 cows that were slaughtered in the conflict.
Speaking at the exchange of compensations, Governor Obiano re-emphasized that the payment of compensations was one of the terms of peace agreed to by all the parties involved in the Special Committee on Cattle Menace which is made up of the leaders of the Fulani herdsmen, leaders the agrarian communities, the Nigerian Police and the government of Anambra State.



According to him, the compensations were not to be taken to represent the true value of the losses incurred by all the parties involved in the conflict but merely serve as symbols of a collective resolve by both parties to co-exist in peace and harmony going forward.
He commended the Committee for stamping its authority on the peace process and ensuring that the parties in dispute were sufficiently persuaded to work for peace, noting that through their prompt intervention, Anambra had remained insulated from the growing menace of Fulani herdsmen that is currently ravaging the country.


Governor Obiano further assured all Nigerians living in Anambra State that his administration would do everything possible to protect their lives and property in the state and urged the Fulani herdsmen to closely monitor the movements of their itinerant kinsmen passing through the state to ensure that they did not leave a trail of blood in their wake.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma who chairs the Special Committee on the Menace of Cattle herders had explained that the compensations were traded to cushion the losses incurred by both parties and assured that investigations were still on to fish out the culprits on both sides and have them prosecuted.


Similarly, in their separate remarks, the traditional ruler of Umumbo community, Igwe Ikechukwu Chidubem and the Sarikin Fulani in the state, Alhaji Gidado Sadiq expressed their gratitude to the governor for what they described as his “excellent security management strategy,” which ensured that peace prevailed in the face of imminent conflict and gave their assurances that both communities would work for peace going forward.
Also speaking at the ceremony, the widow of one of the slain farmers in Umumbo, mrs. Eucharia Okafor, the greatest achievement of the initiative was the restoration of peace in Umumbo after a very long period of fear of imminent attack by the murderous herdsmen.


Giving an insight into the achievements of the Committee since inception in February this year, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Secuirty, Mr. O’star Christopher revealed that the committee had amicably resolved such issues in 10 communities across Anambra State including Urum, Mkpunando, Eziagulu-Otu, Enugwu-Otu, Nando, Nteje, Ukwulu, Igbariam, Awba-Ofemili, Agulu-Ezechukwu and Ogboji where compensations were paid in various sums.
As a sign of the final resolution of the conflict and the restoration of peace, the leaders of the Fulani cattle grazers had a symbolic handshake with the Igwe of Umumbo to seal the armistice.
