At least they are trying to RESPECT their host which they rightfully admitted ,unlike the other group who are NOTORIOUS for disrespecting everyone. Their culture forbids respect,it must always be ALL ABOUT THEM.

This is nonsense..Remember Sun Tzu in the art of war.
When you are strong act as if you are weak.
Do not be deceived by the show of weakness or be tempted into foolish triumphalism
Be wise like serpents

The real question is this: Are they paying to graze on the land? Do they pay tax.

This is just a strategic move as they realise they are not YET strong enough to be more assertive. The SW position should be uncompromising.This activity is not required and should be aggressively phased out.

It must be viewed in the context of the OTHER COMPETING interests in those lands.
With technology and investment

There is more than enough land in the north to raise cattle as long as we realize cattle owners must GROW or BUY what their animals eat. Nigeria now has a population of more than 150 million and we must use our land wisely and OPTIMALLY.

There is something we must not lose sight of:

These people are walking on foot several times a year across much of the South of Nigeria that means they even know the layout of the land more than the hosts EVIDENCE? The way they handled the kidnap of Falae. He said they were always on the move for days ( In your own territory?) What does that tell you>
Talk is cheap but people must wake up. The reason they are so free i because most people in the south have no use for the Land and are looking for Town jobs. Otherwise how were they able to move for days in the forest and not encounter anyone?

They now own the forest.Their only disadvantage is population. They are not Hausa who do not keep cattle and many Nigerian Fulani do not either. Those who own cattle bring in these Fulani from Niger,Mali Guinea etc .They have nothing to fear when they wreak havoc on villages because quite often their families are not even Nigerian.

What is the solution. ? There is no middle ground. Stop talking and making public pronouncements.
The South have one significant advantage. The State government has all the power too make laws on the subject This must be done smartly using tax,Licensing fees,public health measures etc.
e.g A government may require animals to graze only at specified locations and charge for this.Also require that animals only be moved from these locations by vehicles.
Government may require animals to be screened for a range of diseases at COST to owners.
Require insurance in case animals are infected and need to be culled.
If you cannot find an insurer willing to insure you you don't operate. There are many other measure that can raise the cost of doing business by as much as 50-100k per animal per year

Then there are security measures such as the registration. If you have a criminal record you do not operate. You mus have TB.
You must not carry firearms etc.
Penalties may include powers to confiscate entire herds.
Just like you have LASTMA you have a similar task force
State should also have a capacity evaluation to say HOW MANY ANIMALS they are willing to accommodate and therefore how many licences they will issue
This is not a matter for chest beating.
Put together a panel of experts draft the law do public hearing and put it to vote. Some states may even decide no nomadic activity AT ALL
It is a common mistake to say the constitution allows movement oof goods and services. Not true.

You cannot move a herd of pigs freely in Sokoto state. Anyway animals are not just goods they can carry disease and so subject to regulation.
Yes you can bring cows to come and sell but move move them to destroy crops on land that you do not own.Otherwise a snake keeper can start moving snakes all over the place.
What is needed is thoughtfulness and strategy with a clear goal. NO NOMADIC ACTIVITY
NO FREE LAND TO ANYONE

The ultimate question each state must ask itself is cui bono? Who benefits from this and who pays

ARIZONA123:
. It doesn't change the fact that an EMIR is lording over the Yerigbas on yerigba territory. And an EZE is recorgnised all over Yerigba territory. Hahahahaaaaaaaa. Yorubastards land is up for up for grab. Fulanis have taken kwara,igbos are taking over lagos and the ijaws are ransacking some part of Ondo state. It sucks to be Yerigba!!!!

ARIZONA123:
. Meanwhile,there is an EMIRATE on yerigba land and there is an EZE in yerigba land. Shame.less osogbo islamic Tajudeen

VirginFinder:


Ode!
The threat has worked and the Fulanis have begun falling line?

By the way, isnt it clear to all and sundry that the abductors were mere criminals and not Fulani herdsmen?

Even then, the Fulanis want to register themselves for easier accountability.

So what's your point?

Can Fulanis respond to Ohanaeze in like manner?

You can call yourself eze or cockroach, we don't care, just know your place ands behave yourself in Yoruba land.


By our good nature and wonderful attribute, we welcome all including Hausa, ibo, Lebanese, chinese, english man, american, canadian, mexican and so on as long as they are contributing positively to advance and progress our Yoruba society which remains the reason why Yorubaland is thriving and the place where you loser troop to for your daily bread.

Your worthless and unproductive towns and villages are the way they are because of your hostile, bitter, hateful and unwelcoming behavior towards other people and this is also why other people can not stand you gyrating ingrates with zero sense of worth and belonging...

sinkhole:
I think the fulanis are talking sense for very first time in their lifes self policing is what they proposed and I think government as well as their host communities should support them on this!

You are the fool.......some Fulani boys kidnapped a Yoruba elder....and because of that you think all fulanis are evil....remove the kanu infected garbage from your brain and learn to reason properly.... ...the fulanis who did not partake in this crime have acted responsibly and this has nothing to do with cowardice....

Yeah, patriotic pronouncement like that of our founding fathers below:

“We do not want our Southern neighbours to
interfere in our development. We have never
associated ourselves with the activities of these
people. We do not know them, we do not
recognize them, and we share no responsibility in
their actions. We shall demand our rights when the
time is ripe. If the British quit Nigeria now at this
stage, the Northern people would continue their
uninterrupted conquest to the sea”. - Sir Tafawa
Balewa (1947)

“We the people of the North will continue our stated
intention to conquer the South and to dip the Koran
in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our
shores.” - Sir Ahmadu Bello (1957)

Nigeria is just a mere geographical contraption -
Awolowo

“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate
of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We
must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”. - Sir Ahmadu Bello (1960)
