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!

Action and Reaction should be equal and opposite. Somehow, the Fulani mafia came out stronger with 5.5 million against roughly 1.5 million and this will further embolden them. If they feared violence, they will thread with caution. An average Nigerian only listens when there is a violent response. Ask Buhari and NDA, ask Odi people and OBJ, ask Southern Jos people.
Fayose way is the only way to drag the Ak-47 bearing cow herdsmen to rent land and build ranches which is the only solution to their menace. Anything less than that is just whitewash and a postponement of the evil day.

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 state 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.

Anambra Governor is simply Nigeria's most reasonable and patriotic politician at the moment. Simple! Just wish he will contest the Presidency in 2019. The man has won my heart!

Every story has two sides, those that choose to listen or give heed to only one side would have chosen the path of distrust and unrest.

Remember, it was a committee of several individuals that investigated the issue; they must have found evidence of wrong doing on both sides to have come up with that solution.

The governor showed good leadership example; hope others would follow.

That is a bad precedence. Nigerians are good case study whenever bad examples are requires. Ranching should be encouraged and not normadism. Shebi Una dey go western world.

gidgiddy:


Toeing the path of nonviolence? You toe the path of nonviolence with people who are sane or people who are open to negotiation. You don't go down that road with people who put cows above human life, people who invade other people lands and kill and rape. The Fulani will only see what Obiano is doing as 'appeasement' and it may embolden them to commit future atrocities

@GIDGIDDY:, where they not living in peace prior?? You talk as if they were not living inpeace and harmony before now. There are fulani families that has lived in Enugu, Aba, etc for 100 years and theyve not had any wahala. All these started in the last 5 or 6 years. Did the host community steal their cows and slaughter their animals? Ibo's will always look at things in the we did nothing wrong, fulani's just came and attacked us and raped and did all this things but investigations reveal there is more to the story. So this peaceful resolution is the best and henceforth those guilty of offences should be taken to court and judged accordingly, then we will know who the real offenders are. Also, we need to secure our boarders, most of these guys are not even the Nigerian fulanis.

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.

SAFFRONSPICE: Nonsense, all the tough talk is just empty talk? the other day, they brought unarmed, beaten, broken and injured bokoharam captured members to a prison in the east to discourage and prevent boko-haram at large from staging a prison break and all of you were crying screaming begging for those captives to be removed from Iboland now you are flexing a non-existent muscle.
