Members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria
and One Idoma Initiative in a peace meeting
In a quest for peace after the recent clash between the Fulani
herdsmen and farmers in Agatu local government area of
Benue state, the duo have resorted to play a friendly football
match.


At the joint press briefing of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association (MACBAN) and the One Idoma Initiatives in Abuja,
an agreement was reached by both groups that a football
match a sign of peace pact between both parties be organized.
While addressing the press, the national secretary of MACBAN,
Othamn Ngelzarma said a peace football match should be
organized between Super Eagles and a joint team of the Idoma
and the Fulanis.

Ngelzarma said: “The football match should be played at the
National Stadium Abuja and organised in conjunction with
NFF.”


He added that the match should be aimed at raising awareness
of the peaceful resolution of the conflict between herders and
farmers in the area.

Ngelzarma also said the football match will help to raise funds
for the reconstruction of the properties destroyed in the recent
crisis.


A crisis between some Fulani herdsmen and farm owners in
Agatu area led to the killing of many and destruction of
properties.

The crisis which occurred on Saturday, March 5 also led to the
displacement of indigenes of Agatu.


However, in resolving the crisis, a call for peace have been
reached by both parties – the people of Agatu and the Fulani
herdsmen – through the MACBAN and the One Idoma Initiative
led by Paul Edeh

Ojiofor:
Afternoon football match the terrorists get away Scot-free while Agatu people will forever live in fear of fulani terrorists alias herdsmen.
Who gave Fulanis licence in this country to take laws into their hands while others can't?

theDEVILisHERE:


They are killing your people you are playing football with them?!

What a bunch of clowns

omenka:
They've decided to make peace, they aren't clowns.

I know this would come as a very bad news for those who desire to see the crises persist simply because they leverage on it to insult the president. It doesn't matter to them the families affected as far as they can use their misery to mock the Nigerian government.

Great initiative from the peace loving people of Agatu and the troublesome cattle herders. Let there be Peace...

Igobang:


Peace without justice is a postponement of hostility, reason properly for once. The murderers are going to be living with them in their village. Go and figure the rest out If u have a brian.

Destined2win:
...do you really think the football match will dissuade those rearers from behaving abnormally?

omenka:
And the "football" match, according to you, is all they discussed and intend to do.

What a shame.

Destined2win:
You know, people who think only from one direction is the most difficult to deal with.

The only valid agreement that will really see the end of this kind of chaos is for those herdsmen to vacate that village, else, they will still fight someday. And if care is not taken, they will begin to lay claims of lands in that Agatu which will lead to more bloodshed.
