Enugu state is a no go area for any jihadists -colony, in the name of cattle-colony. Gov. Ugwuanyi, i know you 're a true son of your father, and 'll never be part of such foolishness. even at that, we 're watching you closely. if you accept that, you 've killed your political career in enugu-state.

labelle123:
Na so he should not try it closely watching

delishpot:


Man made law. We are independent and any law can be overturned. Unless we are slaves who are helplessly held captives. We do not have to accept things as if we are dummies or mentally challenged people. Those in power hope we never wake up to our powers as a group. Politics is mind game. The more ignorant the people, the easier they can be manipulated.

poseidon12:


The Governor can be impeached.

mvem:
...that law can't be overturned and yes all law of the land are man made if not someone one day will just shoot you and walk free....and the people that can overturn that law is still the gov not you or others.. So since u want to affect things start deciding a career in politics

We the people of Edo state want yam and cassava colonies across Nigeria. Not only cattle colonies , herdsmen colonies ni

doublewisdom:
I pity Okowa if Delta state is among those sixteen states.

madridguy:
Ok

booblacain:
If it is true, Edo state will most likely be one of them.

nonjebose:
“We won’t come to a state, take land and give Fulani or Hausa or Itsekiri or Idoma or Tiv and say this area has been seized and given to an ethnic group. That’s not the idea but we’ll also tell the herdsmen: ‘If you are passing through a state, you can only go to the colony and stay there, feed your cattle and, when you are moving off, agro -rangers will follow you and make sure you don’t destroy anybody’s farm.'”
The statement above shows how sloppy, dangerous and impracticable the scheme would turn out. Hope the agro rangers would carry AK 47 or rocket launchers as they move around monitoring the herdsmen. The policy only seek to preserve nomadism.

I hope they give Igbo and Yoruba traders all over Nigeria Trading Colonies since Buhari and his minions want to turn personal business into a federal matter? At least, there should be equity in justice this time around..

yanshDoctor:
look at Nigeria map. you will know that no igbo south east and south south should be among this devilish colony. they need to upgrade to ranches. we are eating infected and contaminated animals.

look the map

Deadlytruth:


Unfortunately you gave no reason why you so believe.
In addition, first of all you are not from Edo State or else you could not have missed the State Governor's TV interview in which he declared that the if he should allocate any part of Edo State land to Fulani Herdsmen then he will have no moral justification not to do same for those doing poultry, piggery, snailery, and even planting of crops.
You perhaps were not in the country when the Edo State House of Assembly conducted a public hearing on cattle colonies and grazing reserves with the State's Attorney General, speaking on behalf of the Governor, declaring that the executive arm of the state's government dissociates itself from any such idea.
The biggest irony in this comment of yours is that you forgot to mention Bayelsa to which concrete evidence actually points as definitely going to be one of them going by the fact that the governor, Seriake Dickson, has since last year, officially approved and implemented the allocation of 1,200 hectares of Bayelsa lands as grazing reserve for Fulani Herdsmen, and in addition sponsored thugs to beat up and fatally injure Annkio Briggs and her supporters for daring to stage a demonstration against him over that decision.
The truth remains that persons like you from the SE are always blinded by the pain that Edo State is an APC state in the SS yet you don't feel the same pain that Okorocha of your SE is in APC. This is shameless hypocrisy.

The decision to keep PDP away from Edo State Government House predates the coming of APC and has nothing to do with current political sentiments of North vs South. It is a statement against the bitter experience of the people under PDP's 8 year crushing misrule of the State Lucky Igbinedion and others like Anenih, Ogiadome, etc. If your state has been so unlucky to have had Lucky Igbinedion as governor beginning from 1999 to 2007 you would have hated PDP more than the average Edo person.
So go and criticize Bayelsa which has already made 1,200 hectares available for cattle colony and leave Edo State out of your envy.

booblacain:


Nigeians of today, you guys can be so touchy and paranoid. The moment you mentioned SE (typical) was exactly when I stopped reading your response.
