ndu_chucks: For the education of the quack intellectuals on this thread, I submit an excerp from our constitution;

Chapter IV Fundamental Rights

41. (1) Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof, and no citizen of Nigeria shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereby or exit therefrom.


If the herdsmen are yet to commit any crime, no one has the right to restrict their free movement throughout Nigeria.

COOLDUN:

Are you well at all? if you know anything you take that makes you to talk like this, please i advice you to stop it now, before it consumes your remaining sanity. You call people that destroy other people's crops with their animals’ human right? Which institution taught you that? I believe that you are the one who supposed to be ashamed of yourself, and visit a mental home for reexamination of your head. Fulani herdsmen will occupy your village very soon. People like you should stop tribelizing every important issues in this forum. If they can introduce Sharia laws in their respective states and prohibit other businesses, and find it worthy to be moving around destroying other peoples crops, killing people in their villages. Let the herdsmen rear their cattle at their respective cities. Ogun government took a very courageous decision to keep them out of their territories.I know that you are an impersonator.Pls stop using Igbo name because, Igbo people are wise and prudent people.No real Igbo fellow can reason like you.

Dudu_Negro:

.......thank you sir! The constiution did not enumerate any rights of movement for cows. The people yes, it is silent on their cows. So how do you expect to move forward where the contention is on the cow and not the persons?

ndu_chucks: You intellectuals and elitists should be ashamed of yourselves for promoting the violation of human rights of fellow Nigerians instead of spending energy to prevent same.

This action by Ogun state cannot be enforced and will be resisted by force. The state official who made this announcement is irresponsible and just playing for cheap publicity - I await his enforcement of this rule.

I'll probably work to organize herdsmen to dare authorities to enforce this rule. Nonesense!!!

ndu_chucks:

Sir, if the state restricts your right to move your possessions for no reason whatsoever, and these belongings are essential to your survival, then, by any measure, the state would have violated the said constitutional provision. Ko kwa?

Dudu_Negro:

The movement of property and belongings by persons must be categorized under shipment and haulage. You transport belongings from one location to another for commercial gains. The fulanis are in this case suppliers to a market. Therefore these movements have commercial values. The choice to transport these cattles by foot instead of over the road trucking or rail is the individual supplier choice. Whether transported over road, rail or by foot, the goods will arrive in the market. By making the choice to transport by foot does not in anyway absolve the suppliers of responsibilities towards the states and domains and territories through whih their cargoes are transported.

Garri_Activist: small boy, wetin you knw?

Fidtad: Can any good thing comes out of the FULANI?

DANILSA: Barr Ndu_chucks pls translate this;
44. (1) No moveable property or any interest in an immovable property shall be taken possession of compulsorily and no right over or interest in any such property shall be acquired compulsorily in any part of Nigeria except in the manner and for the purposes prescribed by a law that, among other things -
(a) requires the prompt payment of compensation therefore and
(b) gives to any person claiming such compensation a right of access for the determination of his interest in the property and the amount of compensation to a court of law or tribunal or body having jurisdiction in that part of Nigeria.

ndu_chucks:

This view is insensitive and naive and ignores the fact that these herdsmen are nomads and have been nomads before the creation of Nigeria itself. Their way of life is what you are threatening without remorse. These herdsmen have been transporting their cows and families on foot, before you people knew what commercial trade meant.


Ogun state or any other state has no right to arbitrarily impose a restriction of the freedom of movement of the herdsmen or anyone else.

Identify the laws which are broken by herdsmen who are yet to enter Ogun state and I'll support the prosecution of the herdsmen. Here, you people and Ogun state are imposing a punishment when no law has been broken.

Dudu_Negro:

You cannot cite the constitution as a basis for the defense of fulani rights and then dismiss the same constitution as inadequate to address the ancient customs of fulani. which one u dey?

If everyone would return to their ancient customs fulani would be confined to the hills of futa jallo , their ancestral home. Ogun state is not their ancestral home but it is a market for their goods and a path along yheir transit to the coast. If the rules and regulations iof the market is unbearable for the transients then tell them to ship goods to market through other openly acceptable means like rail, trucks......... Ogun state has responsibility to Ogun citizens, not herders from futa jallo.

ndu_chucks:

Are you a cretin? Moving freely means being able to move with your belongings. If you are allowed to move, but without your belongings, how is that free movement? mumu

Dudu_Negro: The constittional review is not on account of fulani. The constitution speaks for all, not fulani. Fulani is a subset of "all". Therefore what is applicable to Obi, an igbo trader in Kano is applicable to Hassan, a fulani herder in Ogun.

In as much as the commercial interest and way of life of Obi in Kano is not violated by a state that says he cannot sell beer in the state serves to protect the traditions and interest of Kano, whatever those interrsts may be.....and the provisions of the constitution are not violated, then it is legitimately applicable to this position where Ogun state has said the traditions and interests of its domain are not in harmony with the transport of goods by fulani and by extension it posesses the sole right to bring about a harmony and order on its land in the best way possible.

What Ogun has done and what Kano has done are rights which the Federal Constitution reserves to the states, so far it does not counter any Federal law to the contrary.

Do you want me to sight provisions which prevents the government from restricting the movement of your legitimate goods freely throughout the land? Please understand that I am not from anyone detroying people's properties without facing certain repercussions. Lets enforce the laws which prevent the wanton destruction of properties first before announcing this foolish and illegal rule.

People should also learn to protect their properties with barbed wires and the like. How would you like me and my people to suddenly claim that the Benin/Ore road which you've been using for decades belong to us, hence we'll ban you from driving your cars through the road? ehn, da mi lohun.
