nwakibie3: The pan-Igbo socio-Political organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has told the Federal Government to perish its idea of cattle colonies, insisting that Ndigbo will not be dragged into such plan.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had last week, concluded plans to establish, “cattle colonies,” across the country in its quest for a lasting solution to the incessant clashes between farmers and herdsmen.
But Ohaneze has told the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration that Igbos have their own breed of cows that do not go about causing troubles, adding that creating colonies where animals are not bred, would cause more harm.
For this, the group wants the Nigerian government to forget the idea of cattle colonies in the South-East geopolitical zone.
Speaking with the Punch, the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Uche Achi-Okpaga, said, “We have our local breed of cows in the South-East. They are herded and not allowed to cause damage. If they do, as may be rarely seen, it is at the owners’ risk.
“Why would anybody establish cattle colonies on our land? Is it to begin to create opportunity for further skirmishes? Ndigbo do not buy the idea at all.”
freeze001: Very good! The FG should put money where its mouth is!What was the point of all that fanfare and so-called launching without any intention of following through? Deception and propaganda as usual!
CplusJason: But when the useless He-goat called Yunusa A.K.A "Yellow" impregnated Ese Oruru and forcefully converted her to join him in head slamming worship, the witless DSS went MIA.
mazimee: I have never heard that someone was arrested for converting and marrying a teenage Christian girl . But here we are. Some people will not understand there is a war going on.
eTECTIVe: Wen we term DSS attack dogs now some e-diots would start making noise.. How many tyms has anyone been arrested for forcefully marrying and converting christian gals to Islam?? But becos a Muslim gal who attended a liberal and western University converted to Christianity , d DSS shamelessly reacts.. Abeg what has been their reaction so far while herdsmen wrecked havoc on d nation?
princechurchill: I heard the northern Nigeria has the largest land mass establish cow colonies their naa we don't understand ur cattle colonies English here in south east maybe alhamajiris will.
eagleeye2: Not supporting Massob. But while the Operation Python dance was going on in Abia, non igbos were jubilating over the killings of Innocent young men, whose only crime was shouting Biafra. A lady categorically told me on FB that those killed irrespective of whether they were IPOBs or not deserve it. Guess her tribe? So, I will only say this as many times as possible, Let's keep playing the ostrich.
PointZerom: If your Nigeria is sympathetic with ndi Igbo, why will they borrow money to rebuild the North due to Boko Haram and never done anything to rebuild SE?. When Innocent Igbos were killed last year what was your say on it?.
nwakibie3: The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has said that corruption must be fought like a jihad.
The EFCC boss also said that the corrupt were claiming that they were being prosecuted because of their ethnic identity or the region they came from.
Magu said Nigerians must not leave the fight against corruption for President Muhammad Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo alone, adding that the menace would have killed Nigeria by now if not checked.
The EFCC Chairman said this on Sunday in a lecture he delivered at the 7th convocation and 10th anniversary of the Fountain University, Osogbo in Osun State.
Magu, whose lecture was delivered by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Olanipekun Olukoyede, said just 55 persons stole N1.3 tn between 2006 and 2013.
This amount, Magu said, could fund massive infrastructural development in many sectors and could train almost 4,000 children from primary school to university with a budget of N25m for each of them.
He said, “This was why I said we owe it to ourselves, it is a jihad for all of us to wage the war against corruption. It is unpatriotic and a shirking of our responsibilities as citizens to fold our arms and leave the fight against corruption to President (Muhammadu ) Buhari, Vice – President (Yemi ) Osinbajo, the EFCC and a handful of others. We are all stakeholders in the fight against economic and financial crimes ; together we can defeat this evil.
“Indeed , corruption could have killed Nigeria if the rate at which corruption was festering then had not been checked. Take for instance, the money stolen by just 55 people between 2006 and 2013 is well over N1 .3 tn . One third of this money, using the World Bank rates and cost could have comfortably been used to construct 635.15 km of roads; built 183 schools ; educate 3 ,974 children from primary to tertiary education levels at N25 .24m per child; built 20, 062 units of 2 -bedroomed houses across the country and do even more.
“The cost of this grand theft therefore is that, these roads, schools and houses will never be built and these children will never have access to quality education because a few rapacious individuals had cornered for themselves what would have helped secure the lives of future generations, depriving them of quality education and healthcare, among others.
“But the corrupt, using sponsored people, claim that they are being prosecuted because of the region they came from , the religion they profess, or their ethnic identity. They do their utmost not to answer the all- important question of whether or not they are guilty of the corruption allegations against them.”
Magu stated that the EFCC had recovered N738bn in about two years due to the support of the President.

zakim: The opposition party said APC governors have been rushing to Abuja to meet Buhari in order to have soft landing because of their poor performance, adding that Buhari himself would be "inevitably" defeated.
In a statement on Sunday in Abuja, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan also challenged the APC to immediately test its popularity among Nigerians by conducting free, fair and credible local council elections in states under its control.
The party said Nigerians have re-connected with it because of the inability of the APC-led government to deliver good governance.
"Instead of facing the people, APC governors who are now scared stiff of the looming disgrace awaiting them, are busy running to Abuja for help, forgetting that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Presidency will also face an inevitable crushing defeat in 2019.
"The APC knows it cannot face the more than 8 million Nigerians it has rendered jobless with its reckless policies. They know that judgment awaits them from thousands of workers who were unjustly sacked in the states where APC governors rule, particularly Kogi and Kaduna.
"The APC cannot also return to the states where countless helpless families' breadwinners painfully paid the supreme price due to untold hardship under their misrule.
"The party also knows it cannot return to the families of those slaughtered in Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Borno and other parts of the country by marauders encouraged and emboldened by the indifference of the federal government and the unguarded comments from unpatriotic Presidential aides.
"We all know that the APC is mortally afraid of going into any election, particularly at the grassroots, as Nigerians across board are bitter with them for their deceit and the wrecking of our once robust economy.
"Nigerians are also at pains over the poor welfare direction of the ruling party which has resulted in the penetrating hardship now being suffered under the APC controlled federal government.
"The APC is petrified because Nigerians have renewed their interest in the PDP as the only genuine people-oriented party. This new thinking among Nigerians has been clearly demonstrated with PDP’s sweeping victory in Osun senatorial bye election as well as the recent local council polls in Ekiti and Delta states.
"Today, the APC knows it cannot go back to the same electorate it scammed in 2015 with lies and empty promises; promises of bogus jobs, monthly stipends, free meals, free houses, reduction of fuel price, bringing the dollar to the same value with the naira and other phantom promises," the PDP said.
even we outside Nigeria and Africa continent doesn't want to hear the name Buhari and APC for the shame they brought to us. See killings, oh God save Nigerians

Estellar: Haba!!! What is it? When will all these killings stop? This is so not good
IF-: Your President is Fulani. Your IG of police is Fulani. Your Army Chief is Fulani. Your Air force Chief is Fulani. Your DSS Chief is Fulani. Your Interior Minister is Fulani. Your Defence Minister is Fulani. Your National Security Adviser is Fulani.
The entire security architecture of the country are in the hands of the Fulani's!!!
And you are still wondering why the marauding Fulani herdsmen cannot be stopped!!!
Then you need to examine your brain. Nigerians,you are in more serious trouble than you can imagine. May God deliver us.
ChangeIsCostant: This is very unfortunate. The federal government has got to step up its strategy to curb the growing menace. Scores have been killed in Taraba State after Fulani herdsmen launched a recent attack on Ananum village in the Donga Local Government Area of the state. According to reports, the head of the Ananum village was gruesomely killed along with two wives after being attacked by the herdsmen.
