Open Grazing Ban: Governor Bala Mohammed Warns Colleagues, Nigeria’s Elite by valentineuwakwe(m): 10:14pm On May 24, 2021
Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed on Monday told his colleagues and the elites in Nigeria to tread with caution over the ban on open grazing.

He spoke at the ongoing 2021 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) – Section on Public Interest and Development Law (SPIDEL) in Ibadan.

Mohammed said though he was not opposed to the prohibition “the baby must not be thrown away with the bad water”.

The governor observed that open grazing was a form of occupation to some ethnic groups.

He said the ban must be done in a persuasive manner that would be beneficial to the herders, farmers and traders.

“We, the elites, must be very careful, not to set up our people that have been living in peace against each other.

“We must guide our utterances as governors, lawyers and every other profession. Disintegration can cause a lot of humanitarian crises that are unimaginable.”

Mohammed advised Nigerians to dialogue to ensure the security situation in the country does not get worse.

It is really funny how these people are so worried and bitter about this ban on open grazing.
Go and practice it in your region. This is the 21st story.
Saner countries are talking about rocker science, I.T, data science, medicine etc and a whole country and its president are still bickering and arguing about COW!

In other news,Folks brace up. The recent attack on Benue indigenes for two days at a stretch without any hindrance from the army/police speaks volume.
We are ready.

His state is one of those being ransacked by bandits despite allowing open grazing.
Open grazing is a criminal act. It means stealing food for herds.
It is time to end it.

You are mad. You and Buhari.

They have found their voice but will keep quiet when farmers are crying of destruction of farms, rape and death

It won't be well with the supporters of this evil government

Those that seek pleasure in evil and destruction of others won't know peace

If you guys can't develop Nigeria. Why not let everyone be in peace

"We the Elites". But you guys have no idea of how to generate common electricity. No one in Nigerian government has any concept of leadership. Your security agencies have zero intelligence on how to improve security. Elites my black behind, continue !!!

These people are funny, so because rearing of cattle is a popular occupation/business amongst an ethnic group, they should be allowed to run their businesses in a land that is not theirs without buying or renting them

this clearly shows that the north and south will can never work together to achieve a common purpose.
All southern leaders should come together and discuss the way forward if they really want to remain as one Nigeria. north and south have different ideologies and ideas when it comes to issues affecting this country.
the north will always greet policies and ideas from the south with backlash. how long shall we continue like this?

Paraphrase :

We endorse ranching.
We do so because such a decision will lessen tensions between farmers and herders while also helping the long-term economic viability of both the farming and herding communities.
We are mindful of the short-term dislocation this might cause but are also mindful that this position is in the best interests of all parties concerned.

We, therefore, recommend that the federal and state governments cooperate fully with each other to enact the necessary measures to encourage this more effective and modern method of cattle-rearing so that both farmers and herders can pursue their livelihoods with greater productivity and in a more cooperative relationship that minimizes the friction between these two important pillars of our agricultural economy.

We condemned the use of violence to achieve political power/advantage.

We restate our abhorrence of violence as a means to achieve either political or economic power and influence.
We strongly condemn violence of any form in any part of the country, regardless of ethnic or regional identity of the perpetrators of the violence or of the victims. Government must do all it can to protect potential victims and to assist those who have previously been victimized by terrorism or widespread banditry.

We Rise!

Nonetheless what he is saying makes sense and it is exactly what how Nigeria should go about it.

Ban open grazing like we all wanted but do not allow Igbo hate sow any seed of discord btw Nigerians. This can be achieved if well managed.

Are these northern governors for real? You want to tell another governor how to manage his state. Anyways, the division of the south along the lines of ethnicity gives them the advantage since the south keeps licking the ass of the north.

Can you imagine this idiot saying killer herdsmen must be persuaded because cattle rearing is their job, so all the thousands of innocent Nigerians that have died in their hands do not deserve any justice. God will punish any motherfucker that preaches one useless Nigeria to me again, I will rain serious curses on that person's head

Criminal. What is bad in changing what is not productive and dangerous to the society?

Open grazing has been banned. North can allow it in Northern states.
