Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has asked the federal government to declare the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) as a terrorist organisation”.

In a statement released hours after the federal government gazetted an order designating bandits as terrorists, Ortom alleged that the organisation had vowed to “cause havoc” in Benue because of the anti-grazing laws.

The statement read; 

“Though the federal government’s measures on bandits now seems strong, the security challenges will only be adequately addressed if similar hard position is taken on Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, MACBAN, and the Fulani Nationality Movement (FUNAM) who have vowed and continued to cause mayhem in Benue State and other parts of the country because of the anti-grazing laws.

“For us in Benue State, the law has come to stay. It is irrevocable. In fact, we have maintained our position that Benue State has no grazing routes, reserves or areas so whatever.

“It was enacted in good faith for peace and order in the state. It was done among other things to end the incessant farmers/herdsmen clashes in the state.

“Nigerians have absorbed enough hunger and misery in the hands of the All Progressives Congress (APC) misrule. Or is it possible that Mr. President is not aware that Nigerians are dying from his misrule?”

Akeredolu said the move by Miyetti Allah was an indication that the group was unbothered about the crimes perpetrated under the pretence of being herders.

He debunked allegations levelled against the Fulani, claiming that not all of them were criminals, adding “Just as you have in any society where there are good and bad people.”

Mohammed insisted that “It is not only Fulanis that commit crimes in the country, but it was sad that everything happening now is heaped on Fulani herdsmen.”

i dont even know what went wrong along the line,
back then there was one angweyi that my parent loves so much in our village,
we usualy call him awoli jam or awoli jampo and anytime we call him by that name,
he will start dancing and singing,
any day my he is coming my mother usualy prepare beans and yam his favourite,
There was a day he came with four of his brothers and my mum prepared almost 3mudus of beans and 2 yams for em,
the bound was so strong that we named him chibuzor, he gifted us two calfs.
I was shocked the day my mum called me and told me dat fulanis are disturbing our farms,
i asked her if chibuzor was among and she said chibuzor have been away for the past six years.. what went wrong ..

Like I said if any cow nears my area, I won't think twice of wasting it. At least since I bought my gun I haven't tested it on anything so I can start from cows as well.
