this colonies idea is not bad at all, livestock should be restricted to a designated area and there should be a particular place where people who are interested in breeding business should be able to rent a piece of land. Rearing of livestock is one of the best investment, so y blaming the government for creating a chance

cattle colony ko, cattle independent nii. .....on this note I totally reject PMB ideology on things especially those that concerns human lives.

I will never support a leader that thinks the life of a cattle is worth more than the life of a human.

arrant nonsense.

Okay.

I will support this nonsense idea under ve

That the cattle colony in each and every state is managed, operated and governed by indigenous people of each states where the colonies will be created.

*No influx of foreign fulani into another person's state.
*The Fulanis would remain in their own colonies "in their own States"

Anything else is a no-no ...
More is on the way.

If you reject and insist on having Fulanis in every state of the federation, then, you can shove the idea up your old dumb ass.


Make I go post this on Twitter. Make people no go stupidly vote for this nonsense cos of meatballs

I thought this was a democracy we are in? Why trying to push through what people have outrightly rejected?

Ranch your cattle in your states of origin!

Cattle colony is only safe if the beneficiaries are not murderous extremists like the Fula people....end of!

so as to raise jihadist and militia in every state of Nigeria under the name colony abi. .. then fulani can migrate enmass from Niger and Chad abi?.. op, it can't work!

Our people mumu now,our leaders are only interested in whatever benefit they get from the marriage Nigeria,they dnt care or love their people.

musicwriter:
In terms of land mass, the North have more land than any other geographic region in this country. This talk of looking for land in other regions to run their private business, sounds to me like some agenda that has nothing to do with raising cattle.

There're some states up North you could travel up to 10 kilometers and you won't see any human, it's all forest and empty land. And it's only in the North you can see such uninhabited land wasting away. How could they be looking for land; when they have more land than anyone else?

They are wise and smart,its a bid to take over the whole country.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
Anyone who is discerning will know that there's a sinister motive behind this cattle colony issue. The fulanis are against anti grazing laws which they see as being against their normadic nature, but they are in favour of cattle colonies being created across the nation.

Now, let's think about it: anti grazing law isn't against ranching, so why are the fulanis against it? Now, if cattle colonies are created across the country, these herdsmen will be forced to graze their cattle within the confines of these colonies, which in essence curtails their natural normadic way of life. Now the question is: why are they not against cattle colonies, but against ranching? The answer is simple: the Fulanis want to have their communities spread across the whole nation, from where they can carry out a set agenda.

A cattle colony is comprised of many ranches and with amenities and all that, but it still restricts the Fulani herders, so, why are they not against it?

I wish our Leaders are are wise like you,They want a fraction of land in every states,what an effrontery?and by the way,theres nothing natural about it,if at all,any thing natural about it,they should exhibit their natural lifestyle on their Northern States,its the largest enough for any madness,we only need to buy from them dassol.

WHAT IS CATTLE COLONY?

The idea behind the Cattle Colonies is to cater for the needs of cattle herders in terms of availability of resources to take care of their cattle while avoiding unnecessary clashes and tussles over economic resources such as land and water between them and farmers.

Cattle colonies are expected to be large expanses of land procured by the Federal Government, in collaboration with States (already 16 States have indicated interest in this), where water, grass and security would be provided to cattle herders who would in turn pay for rent and other services provided by the Government.


DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CATTLE COLONY AMD RANCHING

1. A Cattle Colony is bigger in size than a Ranch, and caters for more cattle. A cattle colony can cater for as many as 40 ranchers.
2. While a ranch is provided for by the Herders, a Colony is provided for by the Government who collect rent from the herders to use these facilities. The reason for this is that ranching is a Capital intensive venture and cannot be embarked on by rural subsistent low earning herders, if ranching were to be made compulsory, it would be hard for rural herdsmen to comply with it.
3. In Cattle Colonies the Federal Government collaborates with the States to provide these lands (note that lands, by virtue of the Land Use Act are vested in the Governors of the State), water and security, while in ranches the herders have to provide this for themselves.

BENEFITS OF HAVING CATTLE COLONIES


1. Safety of lives and property and a drastic reduction in farmers and herders clashes
2. Cattle produce healthier beef when they are kept in colonies, and also produce more milk
3. Farmers do not have to worry about the safety of their crops and thus more production is ensured for the farmers, which means more economic activity in the agriculture sector
4. Cattle colonies would put a stop to cattle being rustled by thieves and terrorists
5. It would become easier to identify criminals who either masquerade as herdsmen or are herdsmen who commit murderous crimes and destruction.

http://www.agricinfo.com/2018/01/5-top-benefits-of-cattle-colony.html?m=0

The British started their colony with trade in tobacco and alcohol.
It started as Niger trading company.

The British exchanged tobaco and alcohol for raw material
There was no currencies then, every thing was done by exchange.(trade by BATA)
as it was call then.( give me this and I give that) Oh we should be thankful to mosquitoes.
At least we should set aside one for the worship of mosquitoes as our load saviour.
Ask those countries that do not have mosquitoes what they went through.
Zik and Awolowo merely complemented the work of mosquitoes in driving away
the British , Sarduana said he was not ready for independent then.

The frequency at which the raw materials were shipped was slow, the ships were initially powered by Irish slaves.
Our fore fathers then were very strong immune to mosquitoes/tropical flies but no brain, just like the present day southern politicians and middle belt.
The British decided to replace the Irish slaves with Nigerians.
Knowing then that they had no brain, they presented them with juice cartot;, alcohols and tobacco
(liken to present day of fulanies offering juices appointment to southern politicians to do their filty
jobs while they step aside and watch)

The slave trade started by brother betraying brothers, because of juice carrot
Nigerians were shipped abroad to work in American and European farms as slaves.
Assuming our fore fathers had nobody as the likes of T. Orji ,Amaechi
Audu ogbe the story could have been different.

From trading colony it change to British colony. At least the British were magnanimous
enough to call it trading colony. But not cattle colony that will eventually turn into Fulani
colonies. What will we call SE breed of cattle which is effi, is it effi colonies, I think the government
should tell us the number of states that have accepted in establishing Effi colonies.
If the number of cattle are so are much that they can not be ranched, do you then think thaf the SE
that have ranched their own could cannot afford the same number live stock.
Your plans are all known to the south. That Amaechi does not understand your plans
because he want to become vice president does not mean the south does not understand.

I think it is high time these fulanis stopped their tricks, it pays nobody. A man who has spend his personal money to ranchehis own catle you now want to bring your kinsmen to come and establish colonies in his domain with tax payers money
I think the fulanies owe the south an apology for these insult.
The fulanies controlled all the armed forces. And onece you are colonised.
It is over. and I don't see any fulany man in the near future giving us independent.
The white men were kind enough to have stopped the slave trade, we should
be thank full, because they had all the gun powered.as the fulanies have the gun powered now

The Fulani heardsmen killing, was just to stampped us into accepting colonies.
Look at the massive land mass in the North West that can contain all the colonies.
To be free is not a small task. It can change your everything. Including that of your generation
unborn. Today the British still regard us as one their colony. Fulani Colony haba!
Who is to tell our children that it was not so. As history was deliberately removed
from our school syllabus so that the truth will not be known. We are going to put history
back into the school subject. in the south. Tanyba be carefull

We are not fools. There is enough land for them to graze. Why are they not clashing with Muslim farmers or in Muslim dominated communities? Their evil plot will not stand in the mighty name of Jesus.

MrHistorian:
Are we still on this?

The Entire Northern states have the landmass to accommodate these cattle colonies or whatever they are called.

This can also prove to be an avenue to generate more IGR for states with low internal revenue.

The entire South has rejected cattle colony!!!!!

Even the entire middle-Belt has rejected cattle colony, except for those 2 misguided dummies like Bello and Lalong. Their people have categorically made it clear that cattle colonies, are a taboo, in their land. Nobody is interested in 5 benefits of cattle colonies. Even if those benefits rose to become 100 overnight, they would still NOT be interested.

Let the Fulani herdsmen move to Bauchi to establish their cattle colony. Bauchi has enough land and water, to accommodate the cattle of those herdsmen! They also have enough militant Kanuri, Sayawa, Gerawa, Fa'awa, Butawa, Warjawa, Zulawa tribes etc., to teach those herdsmen a big lesson, if they misbehave.

In addition to rainfall, Bauchi state is watered by a number of rivers. They include the Gongola and Jama'are rivers.

The Gongola River crosses Bauchi state in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area in the south, and in Kirfi and Alkaleri Local Government Areas in the eastern part of the state, while the Jama’are River cuts across a number of Local Government Areas in the northern part of the state.

Moreover, a substantial part of the Hadeja-Jama'are River basin lies in Bauchi state, which along with various fadama (floodplain) areas in the state provides suitable land for agricultural activities.

These are further supported by the number of dams meant for irrigation, and other purposes. These include the Gubi and Tilde-Fulani dams. There also lakes such as the Maladumba Lake in Misau Local Government Area, that further provide the necessary conditions to support agriculture.

Sir Nigeria is lagging behind because we as people and the so-called leaders refused to move with time, cattle colonies are primitive. The government is not in the business of taking its citizens land without compensation 'land act my foot' and turn around give the land to private individuals. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. And for you to use the words (low earning herders) when you know 70-85% of the herdsmen are not the owners of this cattles they are just workers. Private business is a private business, the federal government of Nigeria did not build Onitsha main market or Alaba international market and give them out to individuals for free for them to pay taxes the owners used their money to buy those shops and they also pay taxes.

whatever u called it, go to the North and not middle-belt, or southern Nigeria to establish it.

i think we should all stop eating beef...or at least if we must it should be "human blood free"
....the shit is even a liver destroyer!!

Wow. Op how did you do it?

Become foolish and simultaneously wicked.
All these grammar can't even convince the herdsmen themselves
Puliiiiizzzzzz give us a break

If we allow cattle colony we will soon have Herdsmen vs Revenue Collectors crisis. Hope you get it

Adieza....
You are just a kid. You should be in your 20s, so its understandable your future is well ahead of you. I like this topic you created, believe me.
Unlike most people who are chiding you here, I am making this post to share something with you. I won't claim I have seen it all, or know it all, or what not. The cattle colony idea itself is a good one. It would have minimized the frequent clashes between farmers and herdsmen, if it doesn't totally stop it.
But, apart from the fact that THIS IS NIGERIA, where nothing goes the way its supposed to, the more important factor you should consider is, who are these cattle colonies going to be created for. The people behind the idea, and the people who are going to occupy the colony. The "colonialists", if you will.

These two questions doesn't require much thoughts. The people behind it and the people who wants it have a provenance and a reputation that precedes them, and is, to put it mildly, horrific.
They already have something in the semblance of a colony in Southern Kaduna. Ask the indigenes how that " colony" came to be....and you will be cured of any delusions you might have that this call for colonies is altruistic. Deal with these folks at your own detriment. That is guaranteed. This is a subtle jihad. Nothing on earth can convince me otherwise.

this colonies idea is not bad at all, livestock should be restricted to a designated area and there should be a particular place where people who are interested in breeding business should be able to rent a piece of land.

When people like you, who have absolutely no idea about topical issues, bring their ignorance online, it can be exasperating.

Who told you they are goin to rent the land?
Are you an alien?
No one is disputing that livestock farming isn't good business. That's not the issue.
Look, man. I don't even know where to begin to start explaining things to you. I dont even know why i bothered to respond to this post of yours. I just hope you go and read your history books and make your own researches about the Fulani and their conquests. This is the 21st century. Get a brain, or go extinct!

;Dsince sambisa forest is a lot bigger than Lagos, it would be a very welcomed idea to make it a cattle colony but mind you that's if our soldiers are brave enough to share am with boko boys......but I doubt am sha

Who want to give his land to fulani, If you give them a foothold they take over all the land.

If you create cattle colony, get ready to create for us pig colony, chicken colony, sheep and goat colony, rabbit colony. Since you deemed fulani as not having means to ranch their cattle so also all other livestocks farmer

That's just it! They always claim they have the biggest land Mass up north, so, why this demonic craving to graze in the south? Since they have large expanse of land in the north, they should just practice their normadic way of life there.

Our government must protect the lives of every Nigerian and punish any body found guilty either Fulani or not, but the truth is we have to make sacrifices in order to live together, even if this country is divided we will still be neighbors forever, Fulanis travel along forests across different African countries to source for green grasses in order to feed their cows so why in Nigeria is always different from other African countries? Most of these Fulanis are not even settlers I don't think they will try to claim land ownership anywhere. There were frequent Fulani Vs Farmers fights in Northern Nigeria before the situation is addressed, Fulanis must be shifted away from Towns/Villages and the routine must continue, every time the Towns/Villages populations expand closer to the Fulanis' route the Fulanis must be shifted back in order not allow them mix together, afterall these Cows are our source of milk and meet, and as I analyse Cow-meat is consume or South more than North�, so it is all our cows then lets resolve this issue once and forever.
