YOUR PROPOSAL IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL, I SEE THIS AS AN ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE GRAZING BILL THROUGH THE BACK DOOR.
COW HERDSMEN SHOULD ACQUIRE RANCHES IN THEIR STATE OF ORIGIN OR RESIDENCE LIKE ANY OTHER FARMER OR ANIMAL BREEDER ( LIKE FISHERIES, POULTRY, PIG REARING, SNAILS, GRASSCUTTERS ETC).
THIS IS PRIVATE BUSINESS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH, NO SPECIAL CONSESSION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANY GROUP.
GOVERMENT MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED EITHER, ANY DEFAULTERS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.
LOCAL GOVERMENT AUTHORITIES SHOULD ENACT LAWS AGAINST SUCH NOMADIC ACTIVITIES AS THIS CONSTITUTE SERIOUS HAZARD TO OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

This is very simple. With these four steps, the States can end the herdsmen menace for good and even make some money from it in this recession:

1. Make at least 1,000 hectares of land available for ranching.

2. Invest at most N500 million to fence entire land and build the ranch.

3. Sign a 30 years partnership deal where the State gets N30,000 for each cow killed or sold, and 2 to 5 litres of milk from each cow.

If the ranch sells or kills 1,000 cows per month, that's N30 million for the State. And in one year, that's N360 million. So the State makes back its initial capital investment in 17 months.

4. Ban nomadic herding and cattle transportation in the entire State.

No need to involve the Presidency in this issue.

Nigeria would be better if our State Governors could think well.

Thank you.

1000 hectares can only support 500 cows That's less than 50 a month If they want land They should pay for it like everyone else Rat poison is all that is needed to put these thieves in check

khadaffi:


You can't place a ban without creating an agency to enforce the ban. If we use Ekiti as an example, when Fayose placed a ban on them, the Nigeria police refused to enforce the ban hence the governor had to create an agency to enforce the ban. I don't see local governments having the capacity to create such agencies except they have to give it to thugs like they always do. I even know of some local government that already placed the ban and the order is not obeyed.

obongitiad:


Bros you definitely dont know how big a hectare of land is sha.

mikolo80:
chairman you obviously don't know how much a cow consumes. I'm even being generous. Google it

GBTYO:


Nonsense rubbish


The Hisbah and Sharia courts in your useless sharia enclaves were established and funded by whom? Is it the FG and Police that are enforcing sharia nonsense in your backward north?

khadaffi:


Too much of hatred makes one loose his/her senses. How is what you wrote related to what you quoted me saying? And what gives you the impression I'm from the north?

GBTYO:
The economic exigency of fulani expansion down south arrives from two main evolving factors;

1. Desertification and irregular rain patterns up north has forced the fulanis to move further south. Their expansion down south is made possible due to the ongoing deforestation of tropical forests that once acted as natural barriers to cattle grazing due to the prevalence of Tse-tse fly. With deforestation, once forbidden lands are now looking favourable to grazing.


2. The south's economic advantage puts us as the largest and most profitable market for the Fulani cow breeder. The land down south with its adequate rainfall and now deforested tropical rainforest, has transformed th south to both a adequate breeding ground for cattle and the more prosperous southerners provide a ready and proximity to a more profitable market.


In th light above, the respective southern governors must as a matter of urgency start encouraging cattle ranching among their people.

[size=18pt]Every incentive that will promote cow rearing in the south by southerners must be encouraged. This will not only provide employment but also get rid of the pesky fulani. [/size]

The state govt should also look at regulating cow rearing and ensure in the nearest future strict legislation are passed guiding the consumption and retailing of fit ranch reared animals and ban the TB infested fulani cows from the butcher's stand.


Rather than carving out southern lands for fulani illiterates as suggested by the afonja OP which happens to be be same line towed by the aggitators of grazing bill, the south must take advantage of the new opportunity offered by deforestation (down south) and Desertification (up north ).

Somebody raised a point that Kenyan farmers put 100 cows on 3 plots of land and ur saying 1,000 hectares, as in a land that is 100 kilometers long will only contain 500 cows.

Bros why na?

mikolo80:
who
What's his qualification
Have you crosscheckEd or you just agree with the first piece of info you see online
Chairman you go school na

GBTYO:


The hate is not only real but potently waiting to be unleashed.

You ab0kis never hide your hatred and disdain for the south and non Muslims so why should I reciprocate love to a man that hates me?

We are done hoping for you guys to evolve into rational human beings and there won't be any turning of the cheek from us anymore because you won't be given the opportunity of having the first strike anymore.

Better remain in your medieval hamlet and stop eyeing and coveting our land, wealth, resources and women

obongitiad:
Baba, that is not the first time I am hearing that.

Even the biggest fool on earth will not believe the fact that only 500 cows can be housed in a land that is 100 KILOMETERS LONG AND 100 KILOMETERS WIDE.

Bros, you dont know what one thousand hectares of land is. So you want one cow to be housed in 2 hectares of land abi? I can see that you really went to school.

Thank you.
