Grazing Bill Antidote To Communal Clashes – Sen. Tinubu by kcnwaigbo: 1:16pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Grazing bill antidote to communal clashes – Sen. Tinubu On October 26, 2016- The Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, yesterday, reiterated the Senate’s determination to review necessary laws to ensure safety of the environment. The Parliamentarian said the successful passage of the grazing areas establishment management bill 2016 would reduce grazing and communal clashes in the country. She said communal clashes among pastoral farmers and Fulani herdsmen were something of great concern to the Senate, thus need to ensure passage of the bill into law. Senator Tinubu, who was speaking at a Public Policy Forum on Desertification and Deforestation organized by the European Union (EU), in Abuja, identified desertification and deforestation as major causes of crisis in the country.oluremi She said about 351, 000 hectares of land are lost to desertification annually, thereby causing problem for herdsmen who needed to feed their cattle daily. According to her, desert encroachment and tree logging should be addressed holistically for survival of rural communities who are predominantly farmers. Tinubu said: “We must discourage tree logging, bush burning and monoculture. We must emphasize education and awareness on impact of deforestation. Inability to cultivate crops does mean they won’t be able to take care of their family. This would lead to poverty and famine. It can also lead to migration, clashes and eventually, loss of lives. “The senate will review necessary laws to ensure safety of the environment. The grazing areas establishment management bill 2016 has gone through the second reading. If passed, it will reduce grazing crisis and communal clashes in the country.” In her remarks, the Minister of Environment, Hajia Amina Mohammed described deforestation and climate change as a major challenge confronting the country, saying about 1.5 million trees were being fell daily. “That’s more like shaving Nigerians head. It is not that someone just cut the trees but they do it for exports,” Mohammed said. However, she disclosed that the Federal Government has initiated plans to recover some of the lost lands towards restoring the environment. She identified such intervention programme to include the Great Greenwall Initiative where trees are being planted across the 11 frontline states, adoption of the clean cook stoves by rural communities, discouraging urban homes from the use of firewood to cooking gas. “There is more to climate change and deforestration. There is need to get people knowledgeable about the causes and impacts of climate change. It does not mean we have the solutions but we have the collective responsibilities to reduce the impact of climate change,” she added.

ChessEnthusiast: In the context, grazing area is different from grazing reserve. Grazing reserve would be what government planned using domiciliary power to ilegally acquire right of access for a ethnic group to conduct commercial business on federal subsidy. Grazing area is still a reserve but a contract negotation between a land owning party and a buyer for use of raising, storing, feeding and distributing livestock. We live in the tropics. You cannot eradicate livestock and they must feed. There is nothing sellout or unpatriotic in the modified bill. The old one on fg subsidy was horrible. 1 Like |

Look at the guy talking crazy. He needs to go take swim in the Atlantic with cement shows and anchor necklace. We Need To Enforce Property Rights and arrest these vandal herdsmen and cattle rustlers. The herdsmen need to start branding their cattle then we can have database for brands like trademarks. They are private businessmen let them buy the land they want. If states want to sell that's up to the states concerned. 1 Like |

The grazing areas establishment management bill 2016 has gone through the second reading. If passed, it will reduce grazing crisis and communal clashes in the country . There should be nothing like grazing bill in the first place, rearing of livestock is a personal business and should be treated as such, if you want to rear cattle (that the fulani's sell to make millions) you should simply buy a ranch to rear them on and not in the process of doing your business hurt another businessman (the farmers)... If we have a grazing bill no matter how enticing or modified it looks we should also have a "poultry bill" for those that deal with birds, we should also have "shop bill" that will favour majority of igbo's who rent/buy their shops for business, while at it we should also have "farm bill" for farmers... Unless the nigerian law makers are saying the fulani herdsmen are gods and should be treated differently from others all in the name of peace, when they are doing their personal business (which is cattle rearing)...SMH 3 Likes |

ImperialYoruba:Reserve o, area o, let it be in the North. All the lands in the north and the ones in enugu and abia can be used as grazing areas. I don't care. I don't want them in Yoruba land. It's as simple as that. And if the Islamic caliphate sympathizers like you want it, then you can donate your father's land for grazing. I could care less. 2 Likes |

DabuIIIT:And what were your pot bellied senators from the SE/SS doing? Were they in coma when the bill was passed. The same senators who couldn't support "the no man's land" to be granted a special status but went ahead to support 3 Percent VAT for the unproductive NE. I understand, you would support anything if you know it will spite the Yoruba. FYI: we don't give a fvck. As you could observe, Lagos wasn't granted a special status. We're not crying and whining like crybabies that you are. We have moved on. So, stop blaming all your self induced failures on the Yoruba 1 Like |

DabuIIIT:Abeg sharrrap jare. Much ado about a phantom southern unity. you dummies just go about romancing your ego. Who mentioned anything about a non existent unity. today alone, I've seen two threads created by ibos that they won't go into any alliance. Last time I checked no one is courting you. I haven't even heard any Yoruba leader made reference to you or SS. you just go about running amok and disturbing everywhere with southern unity. unity with an irrelevant shitigbos of all tribes. You attach so much importance to yourself. You blame all your failures on the Yoruba. What are your senators doing? just earning fat salaries and supporting anything pro north. you think you're spiting the Yoruba when we know who wkll still come here to cry and whine about northerners dominating and taking everything. Of course, we all know that all your senators are pro north. they know the alaibo is deficient in resources and cannot survive without attaching themselves to the SS. You lots are shameless that you hardly made any post or thread with the attachee by force. When a SS person writes, he or she writes SS, but for you the inferiors, you cannot but write "SE/SS". "SE/SS will not do this, SE/SS will not accept that". Make una try stand alone sef. But shame no gree una be cause of your resourcesless 5 states 1 Like |
